Wilson Dynapower Forged irons

I always buy a hat from top rated golf courses that I play but I probably get the most comments from the Mammoth Dunes hat from Sand Valley .

I will always play Titleist Prov1x or dash when I am playing a serious round of golf. I believe all major manufacturers make good golf balls but I really like the Titleist performance around the greens and on approaches inside of 100 yards. So consistent !

I just ordered a new set of the Wilson Dynapower Forged Irons . Wilson had a demo day and brought their new fitting tool and. I was super impressed . My ball speed was greater , my carry was greater , and they were very forgiving . They offer a graphite shaft which I selected . I tested them against 3 other brands and Wilson came out on top. Should be here in 4 weeks.

I have been fitted for my putter at Cool Clubs here in Scottsdale at their putter lab. They have laser technology with high speed cameras that measure many data points ( face angle, arc, aim point, path, etc..) which will decide the best length of putter, the best type of putter head, grip , etc... I am not a pro golfer ( only a 6 handicap) so I felt that this was enough research and due diligence for my game without spending hundreds of dollars on a boutique shaft . If the fitter would have recommended a high end putter shaft I would have entertained it, but he did not. Off to the practice green.

No putter shaft will help if you do not know how to read greens and judge speed . SORRY !!!!

I'm retired so I am in no hurry to get to the course. I like to walk the dogs in the AM, have my coffee, do my crossword puzzles and then go out to the course. I can play at my club in 3 hours and during the summer months in AZ you can play quickly in the afternoon. I know its real hot but you take a cart here in the afternoon.

I carry a 2 iron hybrid ( Cobra ) and a 3 iron hybrid ( Ping ) and then go from 4 iron on down. I do not carry a 3 wood . If I am going to a tighter fairway a 3 wood does not "guarantee" that I will hit the fairway so I will go with either a hybrid or driver . I can hit my hybrids high and or low so I really like that option. The 4 iron can be my stinger iron or if I need a strong low punch out I will use a 4 iron ( guarantee to keep it low ).

I really don't like playing just 9 holes . It's like hanging meat in front of a hungry dog who can't get to it !

Cut line is +4 Tiger is +6 missed cut Great contest !

I just went to a Taylor Made fitting and was given 4 of their new golf balls to try. The fitter told me that one of the changes was a more durable cover. I will play them soon and report back.

I always have checked my golf bag on my trips. I have good and bad about ship sticks . Also, the price you pay is not worth it in my mind. If you don't have an airline card that gives you free bags it might be a wash on the cost factor. Another reason for not using ship sticks is that I may have made up my mind on where I am going to play the first day of my trip when I land until the last minute. I have never experienced a broken club as I use the pole in the middle of my bag and stuff towels around the irons . I always take my range finder and sky caddie on my carry on , these are too expensive and easy to steal out of a bag.

If you are walker Foot Joys are very good. If you want a stable shoe that looks great go with Adiddas 360. If you want style go with Duca de Cosma or G-Fore. If you like plain comfortable shoes Sketchers are ok.

Had a Titleist fitting . Rep was great as we worked on the proper gapping for all wedges. Ended up with a 58 degree , 54 degree, and 47 degree . All of them with the new SM10 technology. Trackman used to judge distances . Worked on full shot and half shot distances. Bounce was determined with the fact that I play in AZ with mostly firm surfaces. My angle of attack and preference of launch also considered. Highly recommend going thru the process.

Funny that you should bring up this topic because on my last fitting the best shaft for me was a graphite UST Recoil Dart shaft ( WILSON) . I double checked this with another fitting ( PING) and the same shaft performed the best . Both fitting were done on a TRACKMAN . That is two different manufactured heads but the same results . Guess what I will be going to next.
