    MYGOLFSPY works as a code.
  2. I wasn't referring to the shaft in my Sacks Parente. I have tried the Accra, TPT, BGT, UST, PXG, Kinetixx, KBS, LA Golf, and VA Composite graphite shafts. They each have different feels. I guess it depends on what you call "dramatic change"; on Puttlab, there were noticeable differences but you couldn't necessarily feel the difference. Usually when people post performance differences they are very close and they come when looking at longer putts.
  3. I hope it helps. My short game has been improving since reading the book and watching all his videos....watching enough to start getting recommendations when he appears on other channels.
  4. I think the feel aspect is shaft related. I have tried a bunch of the graphite putter shafts and the one have on order is low torque, stiff, but I could tell where I was hitting the face. Off Center provides tactile and audible feedback so the shaft doesn't completely eliminate.
  5. I would suggest just doing the foundations level and tracking the Tiger 5 versus the full DECADE system. IMO, foundations will teach you the concepts of course management. Something like arccos or ShotScope would be better for assessing your actual game,
  6. 1. he “can” win again since he is still playing golf. I don’t think it is likely. 2. your swing is consistent; your results arent 3. the state of the items used to make your coffee changes on a day to day basis so the coffee will be different day to day.
  7. From what I recall: VCT a detailed breakdown of @GolfSpy SAM poor play. Stableford scoring Vice’s being short using you MEZZ as a chipper upcoming forum tests other small miscellaneous topics
  8. TM talks about club measurement in the custom shaft guide. Looks like they shifted to USGA approach for everything but woods. You can see how they measure in the document linked below https://www.taylormadegolf.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-tmag-custom-catalog-us/default/v1582967710268/pdf/Custom_Shafts.pdf
  9. I don't know if it was the GT2 or GT3 but he said it was a 16.5* so technically 4 wood.
  10. I’d think older golfer that struggles to get the ball to balance on a normal tee.
  11. Sure, if a player chunks or thins let’s say 80% of their shots from a particular distance then yes try to avoid that distance and practice that distance to get better. laying up to a distance is an extremely difficult task as we don’t hit shots exact distance due to ball contact and rollout variations so your goal of hitting to 50 may end up at 25.
  12. In my opinion…no. If you choose to count it as one make sure you qualify it as done on a simulator.
  13. That is an huge oversimplification; putter fitting is more that just looking at arc and people don’t always fit into the putters based in that strategy.
  14. It was Phillips at HQ driver so I didn’t get to play around with the adjustments. Tried the Ventus, GD, Newton, and one other shaft that I don’t remember and spin was definitely high. The balance of the club also felt off I was a bit cautious as well since the tees were a little high for my preference and I didn’t want to skymark his driver . Additionally I really wasn’t getting much more ball speed that the 4 wood unless I hit the ball well.
  15. Got to try some new equipment today. Vice VGP02 putter - definitely heavy with a 395 gram head. The one thing I noticed was that it seemed very hot off the face. Titleist GT3 Driver - Tried it out but the setup wasn't for me. I'd be willing to try some of the other heads and shafts to see if they might be better. Titleist GT Fairway - This club was simply amazing. Great ball speed and easy to hit.
  16. yes, it is a legit site. Owned by Perry Ellis; you can look up the domain information https://who.is/whois/callawayapparel.com You can also see the website is listed on the PGA Show site: https://www.pgashow.com/en-us/show-info/exhibitor-list/exhibitor-details.callaway golf apparel.org-2b2d4d60-722c-4b9c-a29d-bb9e63d1686e.html#/
  17. Totally agree that slower swing speed players can be successful with fewer clubs in the bag. I can’t definitively say 5* gaps; maybe it should be more like 8 and they should just skip every other club like the old starter sets. Everyone is different which is why fitting and gapping sessions are important. What you discuss with utility clubs also applies to better player and players with faster swing speeds. We see questions on the forum all the time about filling holes in the bag. The faster you swing the more short distances your wedges need to cover or bigger gaps occur between other clubs Basically there is no single or simple answer and all players need to make decisions about the makeup of their bags. The scenarios you describe are being covered by the OEMs since they make a variety of utility clubs; as you described, and other clubs are adjustable to fill gaps in the set.
  18. Always a topic that interests me….putters . it is an interesting debate and there multiple perspectives. Part of me believes the putter matters to the player. The setup of the putter influences the stroke, aim, and touch so you need the right putter. I also believe as some point the putter doesn’t matter and it comes down to practicing the basic skills. get fit or practice, the ongoing debate. But buying the putter (or any piece of equipment) a pro uses doesn’t mean you will get better performance.
  19. They don’t offend or upset me; just commenting on your alternate ideas to understand the value. we all configure the bag the way we want. Yet you say things like: What is the basis and where is the data that shows these ideas would be better? How does having matching woods or 5* loft increments equate to fun?

  21. The LPGA is great and yes they are very kind. I always loved going to the event that was held near me.
  22. That may be how people are using them. I view it as the club that Michelson kind of brought into popularity in 2013 when he was looking for a driver with more workability
  23. You have lots of personal opinions on how clubs should be designed; which according to your past posts seems to be based on the old ways clubs were packaged….complete sets, matching wood sets, lofts for specific iron numbers, etc. you have said in previous posts you miss the club maker that customizes the lofts and grinds for a set specifically for the player That was necessary due to production processes that couldn’t produce the different varieties of clubs that are designed to fit a wide variety of golfers without significant modifications. you want clubs with 5* of loft for some reason that I honestly don’t understand. What performance benefit does that produce and how does it benefit a senior golfer…I’m approaching senior golfer age so what is it going to do for me? In my testing of golf clubs I find clubs with the same lofts perform differently. TM; for example, has numerous clubs that start with a 25ish* 5 iron and progress at 4* and the 5* increments. Why isn’t that acceptable? My understanding was that mini drivers were first introduced for low handicap players to be able to work a driver type club in the opposite direction from their normal driver ball flight. clubs are simply tools that help a golfer complete a task. Tools are developed to make a job easier. I can put on a roof with a framing hammer but I would be more efficient with a roofing hammer or better yet a pneumatic roofing nail gun. you say low handicappers are skeptical of new ideas, but you seem just as skeptical of how OEMs are advancing club design and how players should assemble a bag.
  24. I’ve played them when I was younger as they were one type ball available when I started. Not sure there are any new balata balls available and the originals have probably lost some performance. if you want to try them then give them a try. Not sure what you consider or how you measure “worth the experience”
