played the Raven at Sandestin, shot a 39 on the back, but can't talk about the front...
the driver is the bain of my existance
and it's definetky the indian and not the arrow..

I've got a Ping G10 in the bag right now, and have gone through the
983K
905R- my favorite, when I get back, I'll probably put it back in the bag
G5
Burner
G10

It's extremely frustarating...

My father in law rode with me and even he said just hit your 3 wood

My younger brother had the hardest time learning to hit a driver and he went and got stack & tilt lessons just for his driver and now its his strongest shot he's got. He doesn't move it at all but about 270 right down the middle every time.

A lot of people swear by the Stack and Tilt. Personally, I think it's a shaky swing theory, but whatever works . . .

 

[vol_in_ar]

oh well
I'm on vacation, so I'll tee it up for another 18 tomorrow
trying out Emerald Bay....

It's definitely got its weaknesses, like moving the ball, distance lost, etc., but for a golfer that may play 3 or 4 times a year I think its a pretty solid technique because its easy to learn, remember, and repeat.
I heard of guys who's game got completely lost who learned it in a day and enjoyed golf again.
It's not for me but if it works for someone else good for them.

I enjoyed Emerald Bay. It's a nice risk/reward layout. I think its a Bob Cupp design, but I may be misremembering.

not a surprise.

the Rarity communities are having some of the same problems.

No doubt. Rarity Bay and Rarity Pointe can be booked and played (via GolfNow) for $25-$30, at times. Both courses are well worth that.

played the Pointe on Saturday at 2pm for 27.50. we didn't play up on anybody until the 13th or 14th hole.

well worth it.

I enjoy River Islands but I may be done with that course. New ownership is charging @ $60 on weekends. Yea right! Not for a course that's in the middle of nowhere.
Willow Creek is too convenient for that $$$. I'll probably try the Rarity courses, never played a single one.

i lobe River Islands, but it's not worth 60 bucks. i'd pay 40 at most.

is it still on golf.now?

 

[golfballs]

Who on tour uses the stack & tilt? Aaron Baddley and Dean Wilson?

 

[golfballs]

I'm actually excited about the new ownership at River Islands. It's a great layout. If it were in better shape that course could be a gem. I heard the new owner brought in the superintendent from his club in New England

What the heck is stack and tilt?

 

[GAVol]

What the heck is stack and tilt?

Basically a swing theory where instead of turning back and through and transferring weight, you "stack and tilt" over your left side and then release your body.

exactly. New name for reverse pivot.

 

[lylsmorr]

Interesting. Never heard of it

Eric Axley and Aaron Baddeley are stacked.

I recommend that you keep it that way.

ha. essentially right.

 

[golfballs]

don't forget Dean Wilson

 

[BigPapaVol]

yes. Too much thinking about weight shift. I like the still head, but you can do that shifting weight back and through.

 

[BigPapaVol]

don't forget Dean Wilson

how bout some Moe Norman?

 

[lylsmorr]

I recommend that you keep it that way.

I'm not a fan of "quick fixes". I try to dig into the fundamentals of what the hell I'm doing wrong and fix it from there. Sometimes it works, sometimes it makes me want to break a club.
