I've started to think about what shirts I should have or bring... Hmmm may need to do some shopping 

Welcome to the forum! 
Definitely know mine, although with new wedge lofts I am doing some tweaking of lofts to get things in order and the proper gapping. 
The larger gaps you have, how do you manage those? Impressive distance!

Just getting back into the forums, the past 2 weeks were bad and now read to get back into the SWING of things. 
Hoping to get out this week and put the Takomo's to use and see how they perform, been passing some time with the AI and working. I got the layout of my new putting green setup, now just need to the weather to cooperate, need to add some more sand to some areas since the rain washed it away and to create some breaks. Then I can cut the holes in and get to practice.
Last but not least,
I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers sent by MGS Nation during my time of need.
Thank you!

I appreciate the “support”…she already gave me the look today when I had it charging like “what did you buy???”  At least I told her about it before it showed up.
Now googling how to secretly open presents…

You better watch cause when you get the LOOK, thats one of those Oh _ _ it moments. LOL

I am STILL invested on using and getting better with the AI-ONE DB from last year!
It's a constant review of my capabilities and growth!

I've been on the forum for a while now, and have been fortunate to have been offered the opportunity to participate in three big tests / reviews since I joined.
A few items to mention...
These tests were each for something that I was very much interested in actually using in my own golf game. I have not signed up for very many other tests apart from those. In each test I spent a lot of time with the product, a lot of time gathering data, taking and editing pictures or vids, and a lot of time composing / editing my write-up. It does require a commitment of time and effort. But the most important benefit for me and my golf game --
Doing each review really forced me to focus carefully on that particular aspect of my game... 
.. and provided a way to measurably improve that part of my game!!
 
Now .. isn't that way more valuable than "free stuff"..?
 

Don’t laugh but I put a 9 wood in the bag and I love it . It is a  great 200 yard club and perfect for par 5s and long par 4s. Incidentally , I took my 5 iron out !

Hmmm
Maybe you can buy something golf related, and accidentally place it in the box in its place?  Hahaah

Has there been any drastic ball flight changes that would cause you to change or keep the shaft in your clubs?

Some Easter bread before icing...

Easter’s bone in ham became today’s Minestrone soup which made by my wife. And I made some rosemary focaccia to accompany it. 
 

Just saw this picture in our scroll bar and it so reminded me of a similar dish I've been making but with spaghetti, white wine, garlic, butter, hatch chili powder, etc.,  and a light cream sauce.  Pretty darn simple dishes really and oh so good.  😋  My wife doesn't really like shrimp, but she cannot resist eating a few when I make this dish.

We just made a new dish tonight that was really good. Marry Me Chicken. We added mushrooms and pasta to it and it was awesome. 

Dayuum that looks good!!  I'll probably get raised eyebrows from our WMGS members, but who said dudes can't cook? 🫣😆

Just no excuse to be a jerk like that. I’ve played some great golf with people who were 20-30 strokes “worse” than me. If you can’t enjoy the game unless you play with someone of the same handicap, you’re doing it wrong. 

Thanks. We did try to be accommodating playing with someone who is obviously a much better player.
But Like I mentioned,  it sort of sounds petty on my end too. I completely understand his POV. To him, he got stuck with players of lesser abilities, and it slowed his normal pace and process down. I cannot fault him for being upset. After all, he paid the fees to play, and not being able to enjoy his pace of golf messed with his mind.
I don't disagree that his etiquette was questionable.
I'll find out tomorrow if there were any complaints about it.

Save the double toed beavers has been out on hold.... for now... 😆 🤣 😂 

Oh, it definitely was that. Just not with the clubs I needed for my round!

your a little slow young man, I already watched on YouTube, but I'll hit you up in a message to answer your question I heard you ask.

Driver Working on my turn and finishing my swing After that short game Short game Short game

Went to the range yesterday, and after Thursday's community call, I was inspired and spent most of the time working on Driver, 3/5 wood. Something kind of clicked, and curious if any of you have had a similar issue.
So with driver, I've been trying out a grip more in the fingers (left hand), then folding over hand so I can see three knuckles on top. Peter Finch (and others) talk about this grip being a successful grip especially to help avoid slices.

I'm having some success so far - early days, but I seem to be able to bring the back of my hand through the ball a lot better, and my "good" shots are great, while my "bad" shots are significantly less bad.However, if I use this grip with either of the fairways, I see a snap hook to the left. It's crazy.What I discovered today was a much more neutral (or even weaker) grip allowed me to get through the ball with incredible results. High, beautiful shots with distance. Like, 3-wood flew as far as a lot of my drives.Both of the fairways are the Max model, and there's some offset, but I'm guessing that there's something about the way they're built that promotes a right-to-left flight that's being exacerbated by that strong grip.I honestly don't care if I have to change grip for a few clubs in the bag - results matter, not grip.Just curious if anyone's ever seen anything like this?
it's just something I've never really pondered - having more than one grip for multiple clubs.  I've always been a "this is my grip and I use it for every club" kind of golfer, but that may be changing (and for potentially good and obvious reasons). 
Let me know what you think!
 

I would love to find a set of Spaulding EPIC blade irons, They were the clubs my dad bought before passing away when I was a kid and they are what I learned play golf with, they were amazing and I was able to become a good ball striker with them.
If anyone comes across a set of irons like these please let me know. Been looking for years.
 

7 iron with my old clubs , currently dialing in distances with the new Takomo's, right now been getting 152 regular with the Takomo 8 iron
sounds like a good ball striking day

Oh Boy was today a FULL day of golf. I worked the entire bag for almost 2 hours!!! Roughly 200 balls total. 
Here is some of what I worked on. Unfortunately my phone stopped recording when I would recieve a notification of any kind, lesson learned!. So these are the only clips I was able to put together. It's a little long, but I do have a specific question on the PW portion.
