Here's another aspect of gapping sessions that is valuable. It's not just the average distance but it's also tracking the accuracy of your individual clubs. Front to back, left to right, does one club have a more right or left bias?
During this fitting it was from my 5 iron on that would start to have a right bias. So I had the lie angle changed, adjusted weights in the woods and started working on my swing path more.
Then this gapping session just over a year later, the dispersion circles shifted. The swing changes were working but now to move those weights back to the toe side.

@Toji use a Trackman or something similar to collect data and then average it. Personally, I think the more data the better since as amateurs our shots tend to vary a lot. That said, even if you took 10 shots with each club you’re looking at trying to hit 130 consistent shots. So do this over a few days.
I still do mine all in one day just for scheduling reasons but I hit 3-4 shots per club first, then go back and do more after hitting all the clubs. I do this 2-3 times a year so then I can average it out as well.
A big thing that I see with first-timers doing this is they are trying to max out and go for distance. Once the excitement wears off and they go for accuracy then they also don't get as tired.- William P, Hacker60521, Rob Person and 1 other

I play year round so I check my gaps 2-3 times a year. Usually it's my wedges that get out of sync so then I know grooves or loft/lie got out of whack a little.
I have a Trackman membership so it makes it easy to do this. I have a couple sets of irons so it's fun to see what the differences are between sets.
Interestingly enough this is Nelly's. I worked the LPGA this week in AZ and find most amateur men are comparable with the LPGA player's distances but nowhere near their game haha. I followed several groups during the week and they rarely miss a fairway and their short game is amazing.

Hey guys,
I need help! Trying to decide which route to go in terms of shafts. I have a Taylormade GAPR 3 Mid (stock KBS 70g Hybrid shaft), and I want to upgrade the shaft. I'm looking at the Axiom graphite iron shaft, or the Ventus HB. Which one do I go for? I'm looking for a mid-low, straight shot when I use this club.
Currently using it off the tee (long par 3s or short par 4s), but I will pull it out occasionally under the conditions bellow, so maybe 3 or 4 times in a round.
- windy conditions
- 220-250yd shots around trouble
- skinny fairways
For my driver, I'm gaming a Ventus TR 6-S Blue on a TSR3 (9 deg), and I like it a lot. Any input is greatly appreciated!
For my 20° ZX Utility Iron I just use the same shaft as my irons. For me this gives me the same control and accuracy for those skinny fairways and ability to flight in windy conditions. I have also looked into heavier graphite shafts in the 90-100g ranges but lighter weight steel could also work.

Ever since I tested the Lamkin UTX for MGS, they've been in the bag, and I have continued to install them on other clubs/shafts
QuoteBecause I’m a geek I did a Trackman session with two similar wedges, the only difference being the grips. As a 12 handicap, I’m certainly not expecting leaps and bounds better shots with one grip vs another and the numbers backed that up or did they? Pretty much everything was equal but I did have a better angle of attack (and low point) with the UTx grips. But why? Based on my use of the grips on and off the course, in my opinion, the UTx gave me a better feel and thereby greater confidence. So can a grip help you play better? In my experience and opinion, yes.

1. What are your thoughts on buying one year old “mint” or “like new” clubs?
2. Would your thoughts change on buying used if it was a driver (including fairway and hybrids), irons, or putter?
Same answer for both. As long as they are fit to you, match your specs, etc then it's a great way to save a bit. Not to say it can't happen but most won't see a huge difference from one generation to the next.

I’m a huge fan but also cause I like long irons. I play most of my rounds in Phoenix/Scottsdale but also worldwide. Took a while to find a driving iron I really liked and landed on the Srixon ZX and Ping iCrossover, both did well in MyGolfSpy reviews

One of the things I really hate on the web is #clickbait
In general, I'm a fan of Freddie's video but his reference of MGS and doing his test indoors is lame.

Have you tried to create an account? You won't get data but you can probably go through the app.
https://dashboard.arccosgolf.com/login
Most of the shot trackers are pretty straightforward. You tag shots on the course, update the shot locations via the dashboard and then see your stats. Looking at things like strokes gained will tell you where you can target for improvement. If you get the caddie feature it will recommend clubs based on your distance to the hole.
You can also do their free trial and see if you like it: https://www.arccosgolf.com/pages/freetrial
Have used Shotscope and familiar, was just trying to test the difference. Yeah free trial is buying/getting tags and signing up for a membership. I'll just reach out to Arccos directly and try that way

can you provide a better explanation? The metrics you can track and how it works are discussed on the arccos site and user documentation. What can’t you find or need better explanation on than the site provides.
They provide screenshots and some explanation, I was just trying to find how to actually demo/use/play with the app, even if it's sample data but actually play with the app and see what I can/can't do with it
-
Not looking to buy tags, link and test this way. Just want to demo the app to see what data I get, can I track one club vs another, how does it dissect stats so I know where to practice, etc, etc ,etc.

I just went from a Venu to a Forerunner (wanted HRV, it's a long COVID thing). I have all of the notifications turned off. I just can't figure out how to turn off the suggested daily workout notification. It keeps wanting me to run 30 minutes to 3 hours. I'm not a runner! (I'm a cyclist.)
I was a cyclist (many lbs ago lol) Not sure if this is your model but this might help

Used to be a watch guy and collect some over the years, usually some limited edition but over time (no pun intended) I've become less of one. I still have a couple in rotation depending on the occasion but the daily driver is a Garmin Venu but have also used it less and less now days. I don't like the constant distractions, buzzing, notifications, etc sometimes I just want to unplug and as the saying goes, even a broken watch is correct twice a day.
