The golf trend is more carbon in driver/fairway/hybrid heads plus more hollow body irons with hybrid-like performance. I liken this technology transition: persimmon woods/driver to stainless steel woods/drivers and the transition from stainless steel to titanium. Sound has changed with technology, and it seems most golfers have adapted their preferences due to the performance gains each throughout the years.

How do I convince my golf buddies it's time to change tee boxes?
WFWP91 replied to Bulldog's topic in General Q&A
There is good data to support tee box selection based on launch monitor data, golf course data, and handicap/skill. Unfortunately, ego, or more accurately male ego, creates faulty decision-making. https://www.longleafteesystem.com/ https://shotscope.com/us/golf-improvement/ -
Rebuilding a set to pass the time while waiting for new 2022 clubs and snow on the golf courses to melt.

I have been using the MCI training shaft in a 7 iron and 52* wedge for 3 months. I use them to warm up during practice days. They help me smooth out my transitions: take away and change of direction [back swing to forward swing]. I hit 5 to 10 balls with each and my tempo seems to last throughout my practice session. I tee the ball up (very low) and focus on solid contact and a balanced finish. I just started to use the wedge for a short game warm up so I do not have much experience with the shaft in this area. The shaft seems to promote more feel than technique, so I like it.

2020 WITB (WFWP91)
WFWP91 replied to WFWP91's topic in Introduce Yourself/ WIYB (What's In Your Bag)
The inability to play for soooooooooooo long created too many opportunities to tinker; so, the one set for the year is a clear flop. Current testing: Long Game Callaway Mavrik SZ 10.5* Driver with Roque White, and the Super Hybrids 17* and 20* with MRC Tensei Orange Pro Scoring Ping Glide Forged Wedges 50, 54 (bent to 55), 60 with KBS Tour shafts. -
Well Done. It is hard to sell clubs you build yourself for yourself.

2020 WITB (WFWP91)
WFWP91 replied to WFWP91's topic in Introduce Yourself/ WIYB (What's In Your Bag)
Alignment Pro (only practice/training aid) Snell MTB-X (great performance and feel tee-to-green) & Snell Gloves (wanted to try) SkyCaddie SX 500 (unknown course or blind shot course); Leupold GX5i3 (go to for distances for play and practice sessions) HeadGear leather headcovers (couldn't resist), and Pingman putter headcover. -
Fun question Scoring gains are relative to the individual golfer’s ability. Strokes gained (SG) Exposes quality of shot based on lie and proximity to the hole. Thus, course setup is important too. It is interesting that an approach 160 fairway is equivalent to 90 deep rough or 50 sand to leave a 30’ putt. The following links to SG charts are helpful in seeing the significance of shots (Tee to green & putting). https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxFSlVhPo9ObWmZKd3B4eV84Q1U/ https://eyelinegolf.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/strokes-gained-putting_-baseline-probabilities-chart-pgatour-com-1.jpg The current state of my game reveals my approach shots (120 to 180) are more important to lowering my scores. This glaringly obvious when I play forward tees or have a great driving day.
