Thanks. Just confirms what I was already thinking. Appreciate the response.

On the horizontal line, as a shaft moves closer to "fade" is this designating the shaft will produce more fade or more fade correction? TIA

Played basically the same for me. I prefer the F9 because the rails are better IMO.
-
My personal experience is the previous models would scuff very quickly and played like a "value ball". I tried the Cut DC recently and it's an excellent ball IMO. I've noticed minimal scuffing and performance that is equal to the Vice Pro Plus.

155 yard par 3 17th at Stone Creek in Valdosta. This is the sight of my first hole in one several years ago. 7 iron today with perfect flight, lands about 6 inches in front, one hops and stops about 3 inches past. Really thought I was going to have my third ace.

I'm working on my 6 iron. That's the longest iron I carry but I can't hit the thing to save my life. I hit perfect 7 and 8 irons... feels like the same swing with the 6 and its a chunky hook. At this point, the 6 iron will be in the corner on game days in favor of a PXG hybrid. Gotta do what you gotta do.

I used to like Reed. I've defended him in the past. But he just can't help himself. At this point, you have to wonder if there is something wrong with him mentally.

I just recently started using Keto Chow. It's a meal replacement shake designed for the Keto lifestyle. I'm currently only doing 1 per day (breakfast) but after my initial few weeks, I'm thinking about moving to 2 per day (breakfast/lunch) with a sensible dinner. I'm fighting through the hunger/cravings when I'm at my desk (mostly because I'm a boredom snacker) and each day is a little easier. The Keto Chow is pretty good. It's "thicker" than most supplement shakes I'm used to. Some flavors are good, some not so much. They also have broth to use for a meal and supplement drops for electrolytes, magnesium, and similar to fight keto flu and nighttime leg cramps.

Dave's Take: Yeti Hopper M20 Backpack Cooler
ga_pike replied to GolfSpy Dave's topic in The 19th Hole
Nice review. I have been using the Yeti Flip 12 for about 2 years and it seems to do the job but the limited capacity can be an issue on hot days (which we have quite a few of here in Georgia). I use the Yeti blocks instead of real ice and winder if that might be a negative. This backpack might be a better option because of the additional space for wet ice and more drinks. -
I completely understand the need for a beater club in your situation. Honestly, unless you're playing in a tournament, I wouldn't worry about it much. It's not like you have the rules Karen's chasing after you every shot. That said, it sounds like you've already found your solution and it works. I'm currently working to reduce the number of clubs in my bag overall and have always thought 14 was too many anyways. I'd like to get to 10 or 12 clubs total.
-
So my question... if you needed your 3 iron, would you be okay with taking out your "good" 56 and just keeping your "bruiser"? Is there anything other than aesthetics that make it unplayable from normal situations? Personally, having 2 identical clubs is worthless to me. I also don't worry about how my clubs look... they're designed to get beaten up and to me, the more worn they are, the better they look.

Run into a tour player not in a golf setting?

Paula Creamer came in behind me at a Planet Smoothie in Orlando about 12/13 years ago or so. I said hi and left it at that... didn't want to creep her out. -

I agree as well. Not sure why Mr. 82 got clipped but that's garbage to me. Why was his response necessary? Because he's bringing up a valid point that mental health is directly affected by the lack of God in our lives. Also that people get caught up in a catch phrase that they say simply out of response instead of because it's what they actually mean to say. It's like my kids. They'll say "you look handsome" but have no idea what that even means. Its just a conditioned response to them at this point. All of that said, I also feel like Rick's message is positive and his heart is in the right place. Thiught's and prayers.... Sent from my SM-G975U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
