  1. you can figure it out here: https://flightscope.com/products/trajectory-optimizer/
  2. I would say yes; since It should be fairway height or maybe a bit shorter. if you hit the green on the par 4 I would also count it as a fairway hit. This is how I would list it when scoring for the LPGA. For the record on a par 5 if you hit it in 2 and them putt off the green on your 3rd I would still count it as a green in regulation
  3. Good luck in getting one. Friend of mine had is mower die after 25 years and is on a wait list to get a new one.
  4. I think you should really do this on the course; that is a nice shot grouping.
  5. Sorry to hear about the car. My joke about about this would be that as a Bears fan; there is nothing good in Green Bay. @chisagwould probably agree.
  6. Keep us up to date on what you find out. Interesting in hearing what he is offering and basic price ranges.
  7. Thanks for the review. As a followup, I would be really interested in how the device works for shots 100 and in. While long game practice would be great, I really want to work on those short game shot distances.
  8. Interesting that you struggle at that spot in the bag. Just thinking outside the box, I struggle with clubs longer than 6 which is why I switch to hybrids. But as part of most wanted testing we have to hit 5 irons and to hit them well I need to switch my swing up a little bit and hit a fade. This gives me a little more spin and a little more height. Just wondering if maybe hitting the 9 wood as more of a cut shot might give you that distance. I was listening the the most recent hack it out podcast; which was about club fitting, and from what I recall (could be old age creeping in) Crossfield was talking about how he uses a single club for a fairly large gap and uses the swing to fill the gap. Whether is it hitting a different shape or choking down to get that distance. Just a suggestion for you to try.
  9. Also, in the article Horschel states: "I think when you look at what guys are doing now with the arm lock and moving the grips to the side where it's parallel or matches the face and then when you do that up against your arm, I mean, it's—you know that face is dead square and that face doesn't rotate at all," Horschel continuted. "It's just sort of locked in. Guys are doing it too good." To my knowledge there isn't anything in the rules that states you can't turn your normal putting grip to the side and use the flat part against your lead hand and accomplish the same thing. You could go a little farther up and use the Superstroke wrist lock grip which basically does what I am describing but locks it in the wrist.
  10. They seem to be pulling away from the field.
  11. Just curious, how do you practice now to keep what you learned sharp?
  12. Okay, I'll bite. Everyone has opinions on this and that is fine. You may not like armlock, but it isn't cheating and you may want to make it illegal. The rules are about anchoring the end of the club to a pivot point (belly, chest). In those strokes the putter rotated around that anchor point. In armlock the pivot point is the shoulder. The end of the clubs isn't anchored using the definition of the tour. Since anchor means to secure firmly in position we should just make putting one handed. By using two hands you are anchoring the putter.
  13. I have had the opportunity to putt on them both as they were at MGS headquarters so I tried them out. Putting mats are pretty expensive and the two you have listed are pretty good. I would personally pick the wellputt over the puttout simply due to people reporting that the puttout easily gets a groove. The startline diagrams could be a bit distracting if you wanted to do other drills on the mat. There was a puttout forum test a couple of years ago so you can read some of the feedback the forum had on that mat.
  14. Can you add the capability to go to the first unread post in the testing thread like in the regular forum. There isn't an icon to indicated new posts and clicking the header takes you to the first post and not the latest.
  15. Simple answer you went for a fitting at what you considered to be a reputable fitter so trust the fit. D9 is “heavy” but did you get the clubs total weight? Probably not because it is simply a byproduct of the equipment that makes up the club. Light grips, extra length, flat lies, higher shaft balance points all can make the swing weight higher. Get the clubs, hit them, and then go tweak after playing a few rounds.
  16. Per feedback from Scott; if you are getting yourself into wedge distance that is an acceptable play. Being blocked out sometimes is just part of your dispersion pattern. Play the shot that is available and move on.
  17. You can find lots of information on decade by searching the media on Scott’s twittter and YouTube. I agree many people don’t warm up and aren’t prepared to start a round. Confidence and commitment get into the mental aspects of the game that Scott talks about in DECADE
  18. You can use his decision chart to see the recommendation. I found it on his Twitter feed. The first hole of the day is irrelevant; you should be prepared to hit the necessary shot on any hole.
  19. I believe he is out of business again. You might find some NOS but used market is probably your only option. You can always refinish if not in good shape. Putters don’t generally wear out; unless you hit the same spot thousands of times.
  20. Not sure why you say the head is not removable but the only effective way to replace a ferrule is to pul the head. People will talk about split ferrules and using acetone to “weld” them back together but most say it isn’t effective. Your best option is to remove the head. Is there a pin holding the head on the shaft?
  21. Depending on where you hit the clubface, your miss, and how well that driver fit you the newer drivers may provide no benefit or significant benefit. I was part of the 5 year MGS driver test and like the results indicated there was little difference over 5 years. I have seen people hit 20+ year old drivers the same distance they hit current drivers because they hit the ball in the center of the face. The detail you would need to make this comparison just isn’t available.
  22. The only way you can do that is by looking at your own swings side by side on a launch monitor. Spin and Launch numbers will be based on your swing.
  23. People have issues with promoting apps that cost money and they do not always consider them reliable.. Also there are rules about advertising for products on the forum. You probably would have gotten a better response had you been more upfront about the app and who wrote it. You could have also given more description on why it is so great and better than other apps. Your posts while you indicate are just trying to be helpful don’t read that way.
  24. Put a 2x4; with the tall side vertically, outside the ball when you swing. I am in no way responsible for damage to your club. Outside in isnt necessarily bad. Work on closing the face so the slice turns into a fade.
