  1. I'm finding that as I play more and more rounds club selection suggestions are getting more accurate. At first there were too many outlier shots to really trust what Lady G was giving me. For instance, there was a day where I was smashing my 9 iron; carrying it 160 a few shots in a row; so for the next few weeks Lady G was making suggestions based on that information and I basically had to ignore what it was saying at less than 150 yards. After many more rounds it's making better selections but I don't 100% trust it. Last night at League I was standing over a 146 yard tee shot on a Par 3, Lady G says to hit 9 iron. I check the wind on my watch and it's blowing into my face a 4mph and, because this a hole where I usually hit 8i and you don't want to come up short, so I hit the 8. Naturally when I take an extra club I relax, don't try to kill the ball, and pured it....160 yards, right over the green. Which leads me to say that having the sensors on the club so that you can easily and quickly pull up a picture of how you played a hole is super cool. My friends are getting tired of me sending them pix that verify my claims of titanic drives and heroic up & downs.
  2. Yes, a couple of guys have had problems with the sensors because they didn't work with the type of grips they had. I have Golfpride grips and the sensors have worked well for me. The only problem I've had is that my bag doesn't have individual sleeves for each clubs, so when the grips of the clubs get tangled up at the bottom of the bag the sensors can get pulled out slightly. I've turned it into part of my pre-shot routine; pull the club, check the sensor/make sure it's secured, and then setup to hit.
  3. Couldn't be me, I'm 54 and will wait until I'm 60 to hit the Senior Tees.
  4. No, does it matter that much? I see a *lot* of talk on here about shafts, but I don't think my game is there yet.
  5. I got fitted for new clubs last year after playing with the same set for 25 years, I'm good for now.
  6. Loft of the 4 iron is 19 degrees. I changed my setup on the ball 8-10 weeks ago and I've been hitting driver and long irons much better but I need to make another adjustment on the 3 wood to start hitting it consistently again. According to Lady G, I'm averaging 267 with my driver; it's a 10.5 that I adjusted down to 9.5.
  7. @cburins I may ping via DM for some help on getting this setup for myself.
  8. Ping G430s that I bought last year. 4 iron in 19 degrees, so I guess I'm looking for a 5 wood and about 15 degrees then.
  9. The troubles with the 3 wood are from not going to the range enough over the last month or so. As I've gotten locked in on the long irons and driver, I haven't needed the 3 wood much, haven't hit it, and don't have a clear approach to setting up and hitting it like I do with most of my other clubs.
  10. How do I figure out what loft I need? Should I be looking for something relative to the loft of my 3 wood?
  11. Club Hoes, I'm coming to the assembled masses for your wise counsel. I've been playing a lot over the last two years and I'm making progress on bringing down my scores, I'm shooting low 90's now. I should have broken 90 on Saturday, but I miscalculated my score, thought I was over and stopped concentrating on the last hole. Argle bargle!!!! I'm hitting my long irons better, a consistent 210-220 with my 4 iron and 190-210 with my 5. If I'm trying to hit anything more than 220 I'm pulling out my 3 wood (which has also gone wonky on me, but that's a story for another day). My problem is that I have a hybrid that I don't hit well and never use. I'm not sure what the problem is, I've tried to work it out on the range to no avail and the club is just taking up space in my bag at this point. Should I give up on the hybrid and see if I can find a 3 iron somewhere or should I try another brand or should I look into a 7 wood? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions.
  12. I was waiting for someone else to say something about this so I didn't look like the lone alcoholic among the testers. There's definitely a difference in body battery score if I've had anything to drink that evening and I've also noticed that my sleep score goes down if I've had a few drinks the night before too. Even if I felt like I got a good night's sleep after a night out Lady G (that's what I've started calling my watch ) shows that I slept less than I thought and usually don't get any REM sleep.
  13. Hasn't been a problem for me. I will say I'm not a huge fan of the rubber strap, it can get a little sweaty and itchy when I'm playing golf or working out.
  14. I'm relatively new to the site and part of the attraction was real golfers talking about the stuff being sold. Is what we do here part of marketing for golf companies? Sure but there's a degree of transparency about how all this is going down that inspires confidence. No one is trying to trick or bull$hit you.
