    Fawcett has a video he pulled together for DECADE members where he goes through all 18 of Tiger's approaches in round 4 of the 2019 Masters and then basically describes them in terms of where the DECADE target would have been for each of the flags.

    Isn't that the video where he talks about the announcers saying that he needs to be aggressive in order to win and talking about the scores of groups behind him and his position on the leaderboard?  Scott then shows he never changed his strategy to be more aggressive to make more birdies

  2. I think Scott Fawcett sums it up well when quotes Tiger when Tiger says he plays aggressively to his targets.  I personally don’t think there is a conflict in what you are saying because as a player you have to have the confidence you can hit the shot.  A player can’t be tentative but has to play sound strategy AND be committed to the shot to score well consistently.  The mental aspect is the other part of DECADE that people don’t talk about much.

    To me, line is more important on shorter putts, putts that you have a real chance to make.  If you have erratic control of your line, you'll miss a lot of those.  For longer putts, the ones you want to get moderately close for an easy 2-putt, distance is most important.  Its unusual for a combination of read and line control to leave you as far away as erratic distance control can.

    I think most of us learn to read greens through experience, we make an initial "guess" and learn from watching the results, adapting our read for the next chance.  But if you can't hit your intended line, or your distance is erratic, you're learning to read greens based on faulty data.  So to me, line is first, speed control is second, and green-reading is the final piece of the puzzle.  To make one putt right now, each one is critical in its own right, but learning to putt you should be building one piece on top of another.

    Definitely agree with you; all aspects are important and very interrelated. The added complexity is that there are multiple line/speed combinations that will work for putts so it is about right speed for the right line.  As a player you need to be able to understand you line or speed mistake because putts can still go in the hole when you make a mistake or miss the hole when you do everything perfect.

    Here I am....perfectly happy with my Mizzy's and you go and say something like that.....

    Next thing ya know I'll be posting in the CHA's thread..... (not that that's a bad thing....)  🤑

    It may not be you, but it is definitely me.   Mizuno and Cobra clubs aren't my favorites and I typically steer clear based on my results when I hit them during most wanted testing.

    So my question to the forum is how many of you play the same grips on your clubs?  Is there a generally accepted recipe for grip sizing on driver and fw's?   I recall many years ago that many were using "jumbo" grips on drivers; was that just a fad?  Thanks!

    I play  different grips.  I have seen some people that prefer different grips depending on the type of club so I don't think there is a generally accepted approach but most would probably say same grip throughout.

    Here is an example. This is from last night. Didn't get a read on club data due to the foot spray however path and aoa don't change more than 1* generally for me. Pretty much at a loss as to how I am doing this. And yes it happens on course so it is not LM. 

    Interesting.  so with similar ball location and launch parameters other shots have better spin?   If so,  makes me think that the loft you are delivering varies creating higher or lower spin.

    So I ask again, why would I even put any other irons in my bag 🙂

     

    Don't know.   Hit the T100 during players iron testing, T300 during GI,  and now hitting the T200 during players distance and they are amazing clubs.   Like you said...forgiving, great feel, a good looking.   So much better than Mizuno if my opinion means anything.

    After being out on the range the other week, I was reviewing my yardages for each club and I noticed that I get about 100 yards off a full swing with both my pitching wedge, Mizuno JPX 900 45°, and my gap wedge, Cleveland CBX2 50°. I used to get a about 80 yards with my 50° before, but something’s changed.

    I’m not sure what to do with this information. Were you me, would you want to correct this by making a club change or adjustment, would you make a swing adjustment, or would you just play on, making your PW your 100 yard club and using a 3/4 swing to make your GW a 75-80 yard club? Or would you do something else?

    I don’t know what you have in the bag after the 50.   What are you club gappings for the clubs prior to and after the clubs you mentioned.   
     

    as far as thought process….some people never full swing some of their wedges so the 3/4 swing might be acceptable.  Maybe you gap we’ve got bent stronger so you are hitting it farther so getting it fixed might be an option.   If the club below the 50 fits nicely, maybe remove the 50 and fill another gap.  
     

    basically need more information to give you recommendations without asking questions.

    Forgive my novice knowledge on the matter, but my understanding is that to have all of your clubs feel the same when swinging you wouldn't want them to all be the same swing weight.  As I understand it you would want them MOI matched, which would lead to an lower swing weight values in the long irons and higher (heavier) swing weight values in the short irons.  You find what your best MOI figure is and build your set to achieve this numbers for each club.  I believe that is the idea behind the iron shafts with ascending mass technology and the like.  .

    My understanding as well.  I don’t think that having two clubs  at the same swingweight means they feel the same.  Extreme example would be a 10 pound and a 1 pound club with the same swingweight.  Even without swinging them I know they not would feel the same when swung them.  My uneducated mind then brings it back to balance and the feel that the weight that is placed above and below the swingweight scale fulcrum point; which is influenced by the weight above and below the balance point of the clubs.   All this stuff is interrelated and I don’t think you can just pull one aspect and say this is what you need to focus on.

    I like the shot tracking and caddie features of the S62, not sure if the S60 has that or not.

    I have Ping Raptures that are 15+ years old. I think they are too high because I notice they will balloon up in a headwind and cause me to lose a lot of distance. Ball flight seems to high to me even without wind sometimes. Haven't been in launch monitor for my irons though so guess I could be wrong about the height. I was only around 16y/o when I got these clubs so I've definitely gained strength and clubhead speed so I think this could also be causing the higher ball flight. I do like and strike them well though, just feel like I am getting punished extra hard by even a 15-20mph wind or less.

    If the s62 has what you want then no reason to worry about what might be in the next release. 
     

    if we are generalizing, most people don’t hit the ball high enough.  15-20 MPH winds will have a significant impact on distance.  Here is a chart that show you potential impacts of wind, temp, and elevation.  Not saying this is 100% accurate but it will give you some information: https://peterfieldgolf.co.uk/what-effect-does-wind-temperature-and-elevation-have-on-my-approach-shot/   
     

    Your best option is to go hit clubs and see if the perform any better than you current set

    I've been eyeing up an S62 but noticed it was released about 2 years ago. Considering the S60 was released around another 2 years prior, does it make sense to buy an S62 when an "S64" might be right around the corner? I've also been thinking about getting fitted for new irons/wedges and trying to do some mental calculus on where my money will be best spent. My irons and wedges are quite old since I stopped playing for a while and am now getting back into it. Overall I think they perform well but my ball flights might be too high with my irons.

    What do you hope to from new tech? What does a new version of the S62 potentially provide that the current or older version doesn’t?  
     

    What do you want to achieve with new clubs that your current one don’t do?  What does quite old mean?  Why do you think they are too high?  Have you been in a launch monitor to see if you could optimize your launch conditions?

    I seen a pic of the one from 2010 but nothing recent. I may take this opportunity to get a custom one made. I’ve never done that before so gonna have to look around. 

    That was limited edition.   The one I was referring to was from 2018.  I accessed the internet way back machine and here is a picture of what the prior version looked like.

  13. I’ll reference Adam Young for my response.   Adam advocates working to be able to hit the ball off the toe, heel, and center of the face.  I tried to do a quick search but couldn’t find his video but you work at intentionally hitting balls of those locations which helps you understand how to adjust your swing if you on the course and start experiencing heel ,or toe strikes and how to hit the center more consistently
