  1. Thank you. Providing the link would be much appreciated
  2. I'm 65 and I have arthritis in 4 different places in my right hand and wrist. As some of you know, arthritis is not curable. I am in physical therapy (and had a cortisone shot) to strengthen my hand and wrist, but I am going to have to learn to live -- and play golf -- with it for the rest of my life. Grasping and twisting small things, like golf clubs, is more difficult and painful now. Also, since I have a tendency to hit behind the ball, the vibration is shockingly painful. Hitting the ground IS going to happen again. I talked with my PT guy (who is a golfer) and the issue of grip size came up. While I use a Standard grip now, a Jumbo grip has way more shock-absorbing rubber. However, he said there could be "other issues" to other parts of my body by going straight to a Jumbo size grip. We will have to make a decision about grips in about a month when I can start swinging a club again. Therefore, if you have dealt with this issue before, are playing with arthritis, or have changed to a specific grip because of a problem like this, please let me know.
  3. Please disregard. You didn't think I was going to wait long, did you? LOL
  4. Wow! Gorgeous! Good luck with your sale
  5. As a scientist with a Master’s Degree, I understand what you are doing and appreciate how difficult it is. (I peer review for selected publications.) The statistics alone are enough to drive a person mad. The bottom line is that I would be more than happy to support you by taking your survey. —KENT
  6. I tried the Mavrik set (woods and hybrids) and found them to have greater dispersion and less control than my Epic Flash's. My handicap is 15.
  7. I am ONLY concerned about face contact with my driver with a Martini tee = This is a performance-only question. Thank you for your replies.
  8. I have been using Martini tees for a few years. Occasionally, I hit a ball with my driver which goes way off line. My handicap is 15, so I am willing to concede that it could be me. But it has me wondering if the face of the driver always clears the rim of the tee and hits the ball without interference. There are videos showing that with "regular" wooden tees, the driver hits the ball first. Is anybody aware if the large bowl on the Martini tees can interfere with contact between the driver face and the ball?
  9. My older brother got me a set of clubs. I think he thought it was a way for us to connect. It worked. I took lessons, joined a men’s club and built a SkyTrak system in my garage. I am 61 and have been playing four years. I have brought my handicap down from 32 to 18 – And it’s still dropping! And now I can beat my brother. As for MYGOLFSPY, I have a background in statistics and quality control. So I clearly get what you are doing. As a matter of fact, I cannot believe the “find it/cut it” movement didn’t start decades ago. It’s shocking! In the meantime, you have helped me get the best out of my game: Ping G410 driver, EVNROLL putter, Bridgestone balls, and FJ shoes. As a gear-head, I can’t wait for every article and podcast to come out. I am a fish biologist during the week and golf nut on weekends (and sometimes on weekdays too). The attached pic shows me at work, at play, and one of my co-workers who reminds me of someone else we know – He even talks like Tony too! My story in three pictures…
