I just ditched my Taylor Made Rescue and stuck a 3 iron back in my bag. At least if I miss the 3 iron I know where it's going. If I hooked the bejeezue out of one more hybrid, I was going to need therapy.

gotta go with the nickent, original bridgestone, Adams Pro, or the Sonartec. I think the rest are heel weighted. The Cobra Baffler Pro might be neutral.

I hit the Bridgestone J33 and I cut it much easier than hook it. My buddy hits the Nickent solely because it's neutral, and I assure you it matters to him. Aldila put some proto shaft in it for him and he hits that thing on the money. He plays a natural draw, but hits that club very straight.

The one I hit is discontinued, but you can get it in the stiff shaft from the big online sites for about 100. Give it a swing. You hate it, PM me and I'll buy it from you. Bridgestone J33.

You mean people actually hit balls in between rounds of golf??

it's way overblown. You just keep hitting that 3 iron about twice a month. It'll eventually come around.

Let's make a deal. You two just play once a week or preferably once every two weeks. Meanwhile, I'll hit range balls 2-3 times per week, play 1-2 a week and hit the practice green a few hours a week and in two years we'll all play just to see what happens... You game?

in case you didn't pick up on it BPV, I'm officially hooked again. I can't handle this occasional playing crap and not having the results I once had. I'm even taking some numbskull's advice and thinking about lessons after I get my "real" job and move wherever it takes me.

I am too. Take my 4 yr old with me and hit balls several times per week now and spend every evening chipping in my yard. played very well last weekend and am hooked again. headed out early in the AM to play tomorrow.

I am going to put the Big Bertha driver into retirement before todays round and purchase either the new Calloway Hyper X or the Taylormade r7 superquad, haven't made up my mind which. While I know that my spraying of the driver as of late is much more due to the users swing than the club, I believe a new look and feel is due, never been the greatest driver of the ball and even though I've only been back to playing for a couple of months after a 10 month layoff I have never been this wayward from the tee. I'm loving my game right now except for the tee ball so I'm going with that blame it on the club and trade method.

I'm following the same path, I put the G5 away, and have gone back to a Titelist 983k, and I've put a friends R7 in the bag to try today.

I'll let you know how it goes, tee time at 1:20

GA and BPV, those single digit handicaps are nice, I got down to an 11, with my sights set on getting to single digits, and then my son and daughter came along..

Well
46 on the front and 43 on the back
I tried the R7, and the Callaway FT5

I hit the Callaway the best, but I've come to the conclusion that's it's "the indian not the arrow"

oh well, I'll be in Destin the next two weeks trying to straighten it out on the courses down there

Well guys...I have decided this will be the year of the club down. Gone are the days of hitting my PW from 150 out. I am going to concentrate on clubbing down to improve my swing consistency and the accuracy of my approach shots.

is "club down" a synonym for old age

I prefer to call it "wisdom". As my playing time decreases I have less feel with the ball. I hit towering approach shots, and I am still very long with my irons. Before we start talking loft with my current clubs, you should know that I have hit every set I have ever owned long and high.

I will be choking down for control and sacrificing distance for accuracy. My goal is to make the same swing every time.

forget the yardages the clubs fly. as long as they consistently head the same direction and trajectory what's the difference?

Be carefull with wholesale changes that really mess with your tempo. The high ball flight is likely ball position and handsy swing. You might continue to swing aggressively (which I think is the way to go), but try the no hands swing that the big boys use to lower spin and hit lower shots.

That said, I've never seen you swing, but I just don't like the sound of a good golfer changing things up to be shorter.

Took it out Sun. Hit 3 shots on the range before our round and it broke again. Its back to the pro shop today. I'm prolly just gonna ask for my money back. I hit it every bit of 200 with the 3 balls that I hit tho. Prolly closer to 220.

Played my first full round with the new Taylor Made Burner yesterday. All I can say is that technology is a wonderful thing.

I wish I could afford one. I would be all about it. I had a used TM Burner 3 wood a few years back and loved it.
