    You know how we all get that itch for a new club probably too often? Well I had that itch for a new driver I was thinking I had to be leaving distance out with these new drivers and so i popped in to my local golf store. I wanted to hit last years models you know Rogue, Rogue Sub Zero, and Ping G400...you know the best driver the most wanted drivers. I tried all of them with different shafts even went different flexes in them. I was hitting them all from 230 to 250 you know with the roll out. The fitter was saying that is really good and honestly my swing speed for whatever reason is down from last year about 99 average peak at 101 now down from 105 average 107 peak. I told him I have been hitting 265-270 with True Golf Fit recommended Srixon z765. He says well alot of people think they are hitting further than they actually are you know elevation changes and wind direction has a lot to do with it on the course but in here on the launch monitor it doesn't lie. I said well look let me go get my driver out the car and let's just see what's up. He said go get it...so I did. Well my driver beat them all boom 260 boom 265 boom swing speed up 103 boom 268 10 yards offline 14 yards offline...you get the idea. Dude was honestly mad my True Fit Golf driver beat all of them. I even looked at the numbers my launch was 15 to 16 and spin was 2000 to 2700 neither of which is really optimal right but this driver just works. The work put into the website works and next year I will get the next recommendation which is the Ping G410 Plus x stiff Ping Tour...no I didnt hit it because it's well outside my golf budget!! Just wanted to share that with my fellow spies.

    Sorry had to quote this because this is what I love. I need to get back to practicing this part of my game. I do believe that our feeling of what is 1/2 and what is 3/4 might be wrong maybe a mirror would help...wish I had a setup in my garage

    Continuing to explore the features of the SkyTrak to help me reach my goal. Even since I first read Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible, I've been a bit intrigued by the clock wedge system. But without a range, I've really had no way to get my numbers, and so my short game approach has been to use my SW for every partial swing shot, unless the situation explicitly called for a LW.
    So the fact that the SkyTrak has a wedge matrix feature built in is great. In setup, you tell it 1) how many wedges you have, 2) what size swings you want to do, and 3) how many swings of each kind you want. The math means that your swing count will add up in a hurry. I'm doing four wedges, four size swings (1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and full), and five shots for each kind of swing. That's 80 shots; it took me almost 50 minutes to complete the matrix.
    Here was my first result:

    So the obvious things that jumps out is the major gap between the 1/4 and 1/2 swing distances. In my case, I think I need to reduce my own conception of the 1/2 swing, and maybe slightly also the 3/4 swing. I also still need to figure out how to hit a full swing wedge that doesn't just launch higher without carrying further. My desire is to have my full swing SW be 90, GW be 105, and PW be 120. I know that's possible for me; it's not a matter of speed but of consistent technique.
    Anyway, the potential is there for this to be a workable system for me. I use a laser rangefinder on the course, which is an important component for making this usable.
    I'm continuing to love the SkyTrak data. In addition to the matrix itself, it gives you the dispersion chart for each club. Here's my SW:

    With the 1/2 swing, I had one shot that was an outlier, otherwise all the partial swings had pretty tight groupings. I really think I need to look into getting some wedges that are a degree or two flat; the wedge pulls are a regular feature of my short game.
