Hi! The design and engineering for this driver are a bit intriguing to me. Does anyone have any experience with this clubhead?

No - please do not misunderstand. If I "dunk" the one I usually play and there is no drop zone, the next one is a much cheaper ball - but brand new. Thanks!

I understand the context of your question - my reply? How do you know once the "used golf balls" are sold, that they are not simply mixed within "refurbished golf balls? I worked at a golf course that replaced range balls 1x per year - "used" was REALLY "used." True confession - I keep 4 or 5 for "water balls" on a Par 3.

Dave, Again, thank you for your kind words! Yes, I have marveled at the talent and abilities of many Adaptive Golfers! I was aware of the 2023 US Adaptive Open at Pinehurst and this became the source of my interest in rejoining the sport. Ironically, Pinehurst No. 6 was where I played my last full round of golf in the fall of 2016. My golf score(s) took a hit from that point on as the neurosurgeon kept chasing a solution to my issue - and succeeded in stopping the progression. But, while we were at Pinehurst looking at Real Estate, that dream of living on the fairway faded. Revival is now at hand and the goal is to be competing in 2025 albeit with a slight "adapted" golf swing. Perhaps we can shake hands hello at that time. It is a small world after all! Happy New Year!! Steve

VERY kind words!! And yes, the sphere of Adaptive Golf reaches worldwide. It has been a part of the European golf world for longer than it has in the USA. However, the USA is making up for lost time quickly. Although I would like to shoot 68 on a 7,000-yard course, that is not my reality now. However, the opportunities presented in golf extend beyond tour-level courses/players. From golfers with various physical disabilities (including www.denniswalters.com), to intellectual disabilities (read about Amy @ https://www.igotthis.foundation/,) non-sighted golfers, stroke survivors, those on the autism spectrum, and others. There is a world of golfers out there that are only now beginning to emerge into a world of ability versus disability, increasing in self-confidence, a spirit of camaraderie, and well...heck...just having fun at a sport many never imagined that they could participate in. My issue, although limiting, is mild compared to many. And like you, the inspiration I have gained in my short association with golf in its adaptive forms is tremendous. So much so in that I have received a Coaches Certification from the USAGA and I look forward to receiving my World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD) which will allow me to compete on a formal basis with other Adaptive Golfers. Heh, I started in this sport when I was 8 years old - now 57 years later, I am not going to give in or give it up. I again thank you for your kind words and I too hope that you had a great Holiday season. I am looking forward to a new year of golf. I trust that you are too! Take good care and hit'em straight!! Steve

Excellent! I hope that there is some useful information in those links for him. Merry Christmas! Steve

I am one. A below knee amputee of the left leg, and I just started playing "fetch the ball" in June of this year. It's been a challenge on both fronts. I did attend three adaptive golf clinics this past Spring which is probably why I took up this sport/game. ====================================================================== No doubt, there is a challenge. I have a neurological challenge that has affected my balance within the past 18 months. I started golfing when I was 8 years of age (I am now 64) - I have re-taught myself an "adapted" swing. I will spend 2024 getting my golf handicap down. Maybe I will be able to play in WR4GD tournaments in 2025. That is the goal anyway. You say that you attended 3 clinics - are there other day-to-day resources in your area? Jimmie V. said it best: "Don’t give up. Don’t ever give up.” Thanks for saying hello!!

Good afternoon all! Wow...4 days before Christmas, I should be shopping/wrapping instead of talking golf! Be here I am. As the title indicates, how many forum members are Adaptive Golfers? Rather than take your time to read my description, I would like you to take a look at the following two websites that provide better descriptions of this golfer than I can. https://www.usaga.org/ https://www.usdgagolf.org/ If there is enough interest, I will continue the discussion from this point. Thanks! Happy Holidays everyone!! Steve

Perhaps - I have only had it installed for a week or so. I am seeing an increase in consistency with time in use. Thanks.

Agree - the grip is installed correctly with the spine aimed as your photos show. Yes, a bit unconventional. I am still getting used to mine.

Class of 1981 - back home after 40 years of living in CA and that was about 25 years too long. I live in Adrian, MI - where are you in TX? Yes - probably time for a upgrade in Technology!! The good news is that you can buy an inexpensive laptop or better yet desktop for 1/3 of the price that you paid for the iMac! Thanks for the reply!

Go Green! Go White! Nice Review!! Question: Is your stat spreadsheet Excel or similar? Or did you use a putting analysis program? Thanks!! Steve

I understand completely! The closest birdie putt I have had in my 50-year history of playing the game was about 8 inches from the cup!! Why oh why??? But fear not! Plenty of companies make these trophies. For example: https://holeinonetrophies.com/ So the quest can continue!
