I prefer walking for the additional exercise benefit. I have a battery powered cart to avoid having to push a cart around. Seems to also help me loose and in rhythm during the round. I ride when my wife plays or if I play with someone else that needs to ride

I play the T200 irons and have a handicap in the 4-6 range. I have only noticed jumpers with the short irons when hitting from the rough. It is pretty consistent and happens even when the lie in the rough would not lead me to normally expect a jumper. When off the fairway I play for the jumper and live with the few times I don’t get a jumper. Getting up and down is usually easier when short of the green vs long anyway. Greg

I am interested in the new Titleist ProV1 and ProV1x. I assume these are already in the testing plan though.

How often do you purchase new wedges/do they really change year/year?
GKgolfin replied to Jon Diamond's topic in Golf Clubs
I change wedges out typically every 5-10 years. I am probably in the middle of that range now and am getting new 52 and 58 degree wedges. Two reasons. First, I just purchased Titleist T200 irons which increased the distance I hit the PW and GW, which left too great of a distance gap between GW and SW. Second, I want to get a full face high toe lob wedge (58 degree). I actually got fitted for new wedges last year and was not able to see any increase in spin with new wedges vs my old Cleveland RTX wedges. So, if I did not want the full face high toe lob wedge (58 degree) and had not purchased the new iron set which created an unacceptable gap between GW and SW I would not have needed to get new wedges at all! -
I use an evenflow black stiff 65 gram shaft with my new Callaway Epic Speed LS driver and love it. Also have the evenflow blue s 65 gram shaft but flight is higher and the shaft just feels whippier. The black is lower flight and lower spin. I hit my drives a similar distance as you and also have fairly quick tempo. I would not term my swing as short though as I typically end the backswing about parallel to the groung
