  1. I am not really a lesson guy nor have I ever been, maybe have had 10 actual lessons in the 40+ years I have played the game. I have a pro that looks at my swing and tells me what is off and that seems to work. Early season I have been struggling with getting stuck under the ball with the longer clubs and the fix was simple.....open my stance a bit as I was closed and not rush the transition. Went to the range yesterday with my daughter and I was back to where I needed to be. Amazing how such a small change can make such a big difference. Start line was where it needed to be and the distance that I attributed to early season rust is back.
  2. First round of golf today with the Qi10 and it has a lot of potential is what I can say. Early season rust and some swing flaws did not help nor did a completely soaked golf course but I kept it in play all day. Ripped a bomb on 3 that would have been well above three bills if it didn’t plug. Another drive although not to impressive in distance was directly into the wind and had zero roll. Pay no mind to the chunked wedge that was in a divot and not one that was filled. Round 1 was a success in my book with an even par day and lots to build on. I will say that for an LS head it is surprising how forgiving the head is. I battled a few swings where I was just getting stuck under the ball and I was able to keep it playable. Mind you these were not bombs off the tee but I didn’t drop a shot and I was able to play the next shot with no issues. Top Golf tomorrow and maybe a twilight round during the week before my next round on Saturday.
  3. If everyone commits to playing back that day I would do the drive up and back just to watch the carnage I am still at the point that I can play just about anywhere from the tips but as I am getting older I seem to enjoy it a bit less than I used to. Playing Bethpage Black in a few weeks and not sure the tips are for me anymore.
  4. Up early today for my first round of golf on Long Island in over two years. Playing at the first course I played when I moved up here over 12 years ago and sadly have not played there in almost 9 years or so. Time to start knocking off the winter rust and figure out what I need to work on.
  5. Got in a small bucket today while my daughter was at golf practice and I can’t say enough how stable this driver is in the wind. Blowing steady at 15 to 20 in and from the right and didn’t miss one drive out of the dozen or so I hit. Now that the weather is warming up a bit I can start getting some true results as well as practice a bit more. First actual round with the Qi10 is tomorrow morning and also my first round of golf on Long Island in over two years.
  6. Rough morning today. Was driving back from the gym and had a bad creak start in the front end of my truck. Assumed it was just a ball joint or something that needed some grease. Nope, front passenger axle is blown out and needs to be replaced. On top of that three of the four tires on my truck are blown apart on the inside wall which is terrifying. Not too disappointed since I got 78k miles out of them just more terrified that I have been driving it like that for God knows how long. Nice big truck repair bill to end my week was not really what I was hoping for
  7. Not surprising here is my result. Same answer as when I did their actual in person fitting.
  8. My daughter is now a week into golf practice for high school and she is hooked. Got her back to the range a few weeks ago and just let her figure it out and swing her swing. Only tips I gave was grip and balance then let her go. She is absolutely just a natural athlete and can take pointers and incorporate them into her swing. After school before golf practice she goes down to the indoor putting green and rolls putts for half an hour or so each day. Kid is a perfectionist and wants to master an imperfect sport. When I got done with work today she wanted to watch golf with me and was asking a lot of questions. She told me today in a year I will be giving her shots so the gauntlet has been thrown down. Personally I hope this is the case since if she does that I won’t be paying a dime for college
  9. I have had the Black and Yellow in several clubs over the years and liked the feel of the yellow more but wanted the stability of the black. Now the RDX Blue shows up and it was just made to be. I have also changed my shot shape from primarily a draw to now I hit a stock cut and turn it over when I have to. I will also say I have a HC Evenflow Black in my three wood that I am really liking a lot. Feels really good and I can flight it any way I want to. I may just be over my Graphite Design stage at this point. and if I am not I still have a bunch of them to choose from
  10. So not a purchase for me but my daughter. She is getting back into golf and playing on her high school team as a Freshman. Clubs are settled for now but she wanted (not needed) tees, balls, shoes etc. so went to PGA Superstore today and did my best Al Czervik and set her up with all she needed. Mind you I think I had everything she needed except for the shoes but kid did not want hand me downs I guess. Having a second gear junkie in my house could be a bad thing.
  11. Snuck in a quick range session last night in 30 MPH winds and the Qi10 LS is just stable in the wind. Very good flight for where I am living and the conditions that I play in most rounds. Now the rest of the bag was an abject disaster, but at least I was able to find the fairway with the driver. Today is the nicest it has been in several weeks so hoping I can sneak away and get in another range session before I play this weekend.
  12. I have just a few options down in the shop that I can try. Not giving up on the shaft just yet until I figure out how much of this is just my rusty offseason swing and how much is the shaft. Not ready to fully chalk it up to the arrow at this point.
  13. So far, yes I am. I have yet to get it out on the course so the jury is still out if it is the best fit. The only change I may have made would possibly pairing it with a different shaft as I am seeing launch on the lower side for me. Hoping to play this weekend if the weather holds and get better insight on this question.
  14. Got to my local place today and hit some balls on Trackman. We couldn’t get the numbers to export but I have a baseline at least to start with. SS 112.7 MPH Ball Speed 163.4 Launch 9.8 Spin 2,485 Carry 274 yds. I am feeling the effects of infrequent practice and having my first offseason in three years. Club speed is down 5-6 MPH and I was living on the heel side of the driver which is not the norm for me. Thinking part of it was I had to use the little cone tees and was in between tee heights that work for me. The ball flight with this driver is just fantastic. I can hit my flat cut bullet on command and take one high when I need that shot. As a stock shot it lives in a nice mid flight window that should be very playable in the Long Island wind. Much like @GolfSpy_BEN I may play around with a shaft or two just for fun and see if I can get that launch number up a bit.
