Use to carry a v-series heavenwood w/ an Aldila NV. Tried to use it as my “Henrik†club. But alas it spun to much, and discovered my g30 hybrid. But could hit that v-series ultra straight and even hit a few bump and runs leading to tap-ins. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Greatly enjoying the Bridgestone B RX. This ball, oddly enough was under my radar. Plays similar to a pro 1x lite, but with pro v1 trajectory. Ample spin, good, moderate click and had made my game just a bit more competitive. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Possibly a ping nome or ketch... if I can find one! Maybe a SS gtr grip for current putter. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Had a set of X-12 pro series irons w/ rifle shafts. Loved them to death, but wore them out. Loving current g30 irons, but still think about those x-12s. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Tinkered with putting grip. Alternated on practice green between double overlap and the pencil grips. Settled on double overlap, with putter position parallel with center line, and ball just ahead of stance. Also practiced hooded 64* chips. Lipped out a few and had some tap-ins. Now, hope it works on course. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Finally got out yesterday to play the nine course adjacent to the main course (lacked daylight to play main course). Shot +2 thought first nine, including a birdie on three. Finished on 13/ hole 4 in total 4 over. Love my new to me G30s, easy off the tee, sweet from fairway. Still tinkering with putter grip; practicing pencil and double overlap. Good time and only paid $9. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

LOVE the original/retro Lamkin Crossline. Perfect combination of tack, size, and feel. Plus, easy to tell when they need cleaning or replacing. They out live my contemptuous and vexed mind, (by changing irons, long before their day is due, as a tinkerer does). As a side note, wanted to try superstroke, but alas, changed irons to g30s, from my xhots pros with fairly new looking crosslines. Ć est la vie. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Barren dirt, predominantly hard packed topped with pine needles, 10-12 yd chip/lob. This usually occurs when I overshoot greens. This is why I put a premium on either short/ green side or pin high, plus importance on finding fairways or first cut. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Used to carry 3 and 4 hybrid (both xr). Now I just carry a ping g30 19* w/ tour shaft. It has made me focus on hitting 4 iron better, though not always perfect. You could carry as many hybrids as you want. Look at various LPGA players, They play what works for them, in conjunction with their distance gapping, which is a priority.

Best Books for Golfers
AWLBMW replied to TJNikegolf26's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
As others have said Ben Hogan's five lessons works extremely well (especially if you overlap grip, but still works for interlock); and Penick's red book for justification and acts as a quick reference. I personally recommend, Nick Faldo‘ A Swing for Life. Instruction is simplified, well written, and he explains little nuances in great detail. Also, Leadbetter's Positive Practice is a quick and understandable read, ( as opposed to the A Swing, which sounds a lot like stack and tilt). I'd also recommend Phil's Secrets of the Short Game, but only the chipping, pitching, and bunker play.
