Picked up a new TM Spider Putter from Golfbids.net! Ordered it heel shafted, 33". Tried it at the store the other day and was sinking everything.

Jmiller, this sounds like a fantastic review, but I had to stop reading because it's putting too many thoughts in my head Is there something in between the complexity of RS1 and RST for those of us who can only practice two or three times a week?
-
Tried out the Mizuno MP63s today for the first time. Wow, best feeling iron I've ever tried.
-
Just recorded my swing and my son's swings. We instantly saw what both of us were doing wrong. Gotta love modern technology: http://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/5767-uspg-black-ops-shaft-review/

The beatdown my fantasy team is taking is too painful to watch...
-
Not to hijack this thread again, but I still prefer to walk than ride a cart. The Clicgear is the way to go, especially since I also carry my son's bag. Plus, the money saved can be used for more rounds of golf (or beer).

I'm all for this. Call the Caddy a field coach if you want, but anything to speed up the pace of play works for me.
-
What, and have to think about the game like we do? Why not also have the player research his clubs and figure out which are best for him by trial and error as well? The caddy's main job is to be a field coach for the player, give them a second read on the greens, keep him in the right mental state, calculate yardages based on wind, moisture, and grass, and occasionally step beyond his bounds and put his foot in his mouth to give the public something to talk about. It's kind of like taking the coaches out of baseball when they're playing a game.

With Tiger, Luke, Rory, and Phil all winning this year, it's going to be a fun Masters!

Normally I would root for Tiger, but I didn't play him this week. Go McDowell/Els!
-
Probably because the only people who would vote in favor of this are the caddies themselves . Unfortunately for them, the sponsor likes having their logos unobstructed by a push cart. As for using a staff bag, I just think they're impractical and mainly for rich people who keep their clubs in the clubhouse lockers and never really carry their own bag.
-
I totally agree with you here. I'm just saying it's not that simple when comparing clubs. Clubs made of softer materials (i.e. 8620 carbon steel) will naturally go less far than harder materials (i.e. titanium).
-
Not to be off topic, but this is also exactly why I like MGS reviews, the numbers are put there in front of you to draw your own conclusions if you like. Plus, subjects/objective data is there, but separate. Ok, now I have to stop ranting...
-
I can believe blades hit farther than players CB if both are forged, but if there were that much more accurate, everyone on tour would play them. Instead, the marginal added forgiveness vs marginal loss of workability is enough to convince tour players to use CBs.
-
I'd be very curious as the the clubs used in this example. 8' dispersion with an Iron Byron sounds crazy. I just don't see how cavity backs could do that without some flaw in the design. I'm not saying I can't be swayed to believe it, I'd just like to see more solid examples.
-
I understood the point, I just think it's a skewed example. I've seen this example several times and it just bugs me, sorry to take it out on you . I would be very interested to know just how much loss of energy occurs, especially for Ti faced super GI clubs, where the material itself offers better transfer of energy (keep in mind that softer materials used in forged irons typically have the worst transfer of energy). Dispersion is a factor of distance, and club face angle. On a dead center, straight shot, there should be no difference, at least intuitively. On shaped shots, dispersion is a matter of technique. It can be argued that you can generate more sidespin with a blade than a GI because of the center of gravity, but the it's the player who ultimately has to tune their shot to get it correctly on line. On shots with a less than perfect club face angle, dispersion will be totally a factor of distance, where the farther the ball travels, the more offline it will go. I would love to see the actual data, maybe I'm just thinking of this all wrong.

I play a players 3/4 CB, so I agree with you about the benefits of player's clubs vs GI club, but the example is flawed. Blades, Players CB, and GI clubs are all intended to hit a golf ball whereas a frying pan is a very unweildy way to hit a nail. I could come up with a similar example using an impact driver for GI clubs and a screw driver for blades and draw the opposite conclusion. As for the dispersion pattern between blades, player's CBs, and GI, I'd really like to see the data behind that. Intuitively, a GI club hit off center will go longer, but also will be off line, so I can see why this conclusion was reached in this case. But a perfect shot from any of the club types shouldn't have any difference in dispersion. Personally, I think figuring out how much of a difference, in terms of forgiveness and workability, there really is between a players CB and blades is interesting. I say I wouldn't ever play blades, but I've never really tried them. One thing I love about my clubs is I know immediately when I hit the ball off center.

Damn, Golfworks posted the BM3 driver and fairway in stock, but when I ordered them, the fairway was backordered until the end of April!

Damn, Golfworks posted the BM3 as in stock, but when I ordered it's backordered until the end of April!

Rory's on a tear right now. Probably because I benched him in fantasy in favor of Rose...
-
I've done fantasy baseball in the past, it's just too tedious, sorry.
-
Nice! Just curious, what grip is that and why the HL version? -
Managed a game of winter golf today. After practicing with the orange whip, my swing went from fade bias to draw bias. Scores were probably half par, half triple. So many fat shots on soggy ground, it wasn't pretty
