  1. Guys, it is a real relief to hear that. I was doubting my ability a bit or thought my settings are all wrong. But hearing how many of you are struggling with the 3 wood is encouraging. Also in regards to the driver, it is a very good point that you can always adjust the setting and "grow" with the driver. I always thought to go secondhand and buy an old driver just to learn the swing and get used to it. However, listening to you guys a driver fitting might make sense even at my level.
  2. I did a 5 day camp here in Germany last summer and would agree very much with @CarlH and @RickyBobby_PR. Things I would consider before going: 1) Student/Teach ratio as this of course determines how much time you get with the pro 2) Agenda and general layout of the camp 3) Personal goal for the camp My goal was to just get in a different environment and purely focus on golf for one week. We usually did range sessions in the morning focussing on different aspects of the game. This was followed by an on-course round again with different focus areas. The week started and ended with a launch monitor session and a small tournament to see if we improved. For my goal this was perfect. I got to play loads of golf (actually maybe too much as my body was suffering at the end of the week ) and met great people (students and teachers alike). If my goal would have been to improve a specific area or have a problem I want to fix the week would have been less successful. Given the layout, you just don't have enough time with the teacher to make big and lasting swing changes.
  3. Hi all, thanks a lot that does sound very logical to me. My swing speed is slow at the moment, probably even slower on course as I try to be more accurate, so what @RickyBobby_PR and @pouetvl saying makes very much sense to me. I probably need a session with a launch monitor. I feel like a lot of gapping and distances are off in my bag which is probably normal as you build up your golf bag while you are improving. So what would be your opinion in regards to a driver? I usually try to be comfortable with next lower number. I bought the 5 wood after being comfortable with the 5 iron and Hybrid 4, then bought the 3 wood and planned to wait with the driver until I'm again comfortable with that. Now hearing this I'm tempted to maybe already jump to the big sticks right away.
  4. Hi all, I'm looking for some advice here. I have been playing with my Callaway Epic Flash 5 Wood and am really happy with it. It has an Project X Even Flow Green 5.5 or 5.0 Regular Flex shaft and the club has 18 degrees of loft and is set to standard. I'm still a beginner so I only hit it around 180-185 yards but I hit it fairly save and am happy with the distance for now while I work on my swing and overall speed. As I like the club I bought the same just as a 3 wood, thinking it would go bit further. I bought it used so it came with a different shaft. This one has a Tensei AV BLUE 75 also with Regular Flex. This club has 15 degrees of loft and is also set to standard. After playing a few rounds I'm struggeling a bit with the new 3 wood. My misses are much bigger and it tends to fly only as far as my 5 wood even if I hit it rather well. So now I have a tendency to just stick with my 5 wood and leave the 3 wood in the bag. Any tips or ideas from the pros here why that is and what to do moving forward? Could it be just the different shaft or do the 3 degrees just don't make that much of a difference? If it is the different shaft (I understand that the Tensei is heavier the Project X) would it make sense to change the shaft? I also could set it to 14 degrees if that would help. Happy to get any advice. Thanks and all the best
