  1. High total weight isn't always ideal. This has been the trend in the industry and as heads have gotten heavier people started counterbalancing to get back proper feel. The problem is that the higher weight will influence the stroke and potentially make it worse. Most people assume heavier leads to smoother which isn't always the cases. The idea behind stroke lab is to lighten total weight and use graphite to distribute weight to the head and grip to give that same feel.
  2. Been looking for a putter to do some experimenting with; I wanted something with adjustable weights so I could see how different weights impacted my stroke. Gone through a lot of putters in my golfing career, but never had an 8802 style putter. A while ago I saw Chisag's Bobby Grace putter and really liked the look. Found a used 6330 on eBay so I figured I would bid; ended up wining and the putter arrived today. Current headweight is 350gr so I am going to see if I can find some lighter and heavier weights to try and get the putter dialed in. Feels pretty head heavy so I may also try some counterbalancing. Looking forward to some winter fun.
  3. That would work. I would personally just use screws from the top and bottom. Don’t thing you would be putting enough stress on it to break and I would care if the screw heads were visible on top. Or you could do like the picture and use angle brackets and counter sink the heads like you suggested for the ones that come through the top.
  4. Gave one a try and it is not going to knock my current hybrids out of the bag. Excellent shape as pictures should show. Lists for $129; I'll ship CONUS for $old Project X 6.0 shaft, headcover, no tool, but works with pretty much any tool (I used my titleist and ping)
  5. Looks pretty straight forward. I'd say half to 3/4" plywood (probably don't need to add the grass surface) and half inch square rod screwed to the bottom.
  6. You have to break at some age and someone is going to complain it isn't fair. I would generally say that a 50 year old will hit it farther than a 70 year old. I know distance isn't everything but that is how people evaluate things. With honest handicap everything should even out; that is the purpose of using them.
  7. Toe shot, that is the place on the clubface that my golf ball loves to make contact. I feel like I could have a 10 inch long iron head and still hit the toe.
  8. Actually I think you can get lunch. Amazon owns Whole Foods.
  9. Intent of use is the biggest evaluation point. I am not looking for spin or launch type numbers. I want to practice 100 and in to dial in my swing. For this I need accurate numbers. If the LM says 70 then it better be 70 on the course not 60 or 85. I want this indoors so I can use my balls to get dialed in. I don’t have a range that will let me put out cones or go retrieve my personal balls. Reminds me of what I saw at the Local LPGA event this past year. Danielle Kang was going to work on distance wedges and her Caddie has laid out cones and shot distances to her bag to put them in the right spot. Danielle realized this and made him reshoot to where she was hitting from. Don’t want to practice to accurate distances not just something close.

    wedges

    Don't understand. Even with graphite shafts, you can increase the weight and go heavier and stiffer in the wedges.
  11. Don't know what to tell you. Wasn't too happy with my year; just felt like I could play better than I have been. Who knows, trying too hard, over compensating, just a downward trend in the game, too much wrong practice, too little practice, too much instruction, too little instruction.....etc. Been getting frustrated over the last month or so since my iron play has been so poor. I think scaling back to a single instructor is probably a good idea. you may also be trying to force things and not letting your swing happen.
  12. Know my tendencies and dispersion with the club I am hitting Aim so a shot that goes toward the extremes of that dispersion won't end up in a bad location Generally desired location is middle of green to minimize 3 putt possibilities.
  13. Had a blast at the MGS tester party and ended up with this shirt. New Black Greg Norman shirt, Size XL, which is too big for me so I am doing a lucky size giveaway. Adam was very generous to us at the party so I figured I would pass this forward to someone who would wear it. If you wear XL and are interested in this shirt shoot me a message; I'll respond back and get your address.
  14. A great shaft for me. Have this shaft in my hybrids and was confirmed by a fitter it was a great shaft.
  15. Still should swing the clubs on a launch monitor and see which work best. Performance is my measurement; give us data and we can provide feedback. Otherwise both are quality iron sets.
  16. Sarcasm mode on... I don’t think silver would look very good and it is my least favorite color. Can you recommend a pretty blue shaft with minimal graphics. If I don’t like the way it looks I can’t hit it well. Sarcasm mode off...
  17. While I would have liked to see that type of detail as well. The gcquad vs the Doppler units would probably be easy since the are in different positions. Wonder how they compared the skytrak since it would be in a similar position. A table showing x number of driver, long iron, mid iron, wedge, and distance wedge shots at different swing speeds would have been a nice comparison chart. To me it seems like unless you are purchasing a skytrak it is best to pass at this time; especially for me since I want to practice distance wedge shots.
  18. I think either would be fine. The rogue X could also get you to single digit. Which of the two have the best dispersion, how was shaft and head selection determined, and what is the gapping as you transition to non set wedges? Clubs themselves won’t get you to single. New clubs are fun and it is ideal to get the best tools for you but you will still have to work on your game.
  19. Sounds like a rough front nine. Glad you turned it around on the back nine. [emoji23]
  20. I used to have this thought as well. While it may make it easier, proper technique is probably more important. After my lesson, my technique significantly improved and I can hit my high bounce wedge off tight hard lies.
  21. Probably depends on the unit. From what I have seen and know, the GC Quad doesn't need to be setup for club type.
  22. Since no one mentioned my name, I guess I didn’t win. [emoji26] Hopefully there is some good stuff left for the tester party.
