Highland Falls Golf Course in Summerlin, 20 mins from the Vegas Strip. This elevated par 3 has an incredible view. Not sure how a panoramic photo will be on here. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I'm really curious to see these results as well. After some videos on the TXG youtube, different golf balls have really peaked my interest. Mostly in the spin category with them testing and sometimes seeing up to 1200rpm spin difference in a 6 or 7 iron.

I played a set of one lengths but have now switched back to variable length set. I guess you might see more consistency. When you get into the "longer" irons 4, 5, and maybe 6 you dont see the same trajectory as you do in variable length irons. So unless you're a player with a pretty good swing and create an ideal ball flight, I wouldnt switch. First thing I noticed when switching to my variable length set is a higher peak height with my new 5 and 6 irons.

Not sure I'll be able to join in and play as thats the Masters week so I'll be glued to my couch watching and the other days fall into my work week. Courses- Chimera Golf Club is in phenomenal shape (minus the range). They have rentals but no idea of pricing. (East side towards Lake Las Vegas) Las Vegas National is a great courses and is pretty popular for visitors. They have rentals as well. (central in terms of Vegas being minutes away from the strip) Another centrally located course which is Vegas's muni course is Las Vegas Golf Club. Cheaper and have rentals Rhodes Ranch, Siena, and Bears Best are all great courses and in the southwest (They have rentals as far as I'm aware) In Summerlin (West Las Vegas) there are a handful of good courses. I'm not sure of which have rentals but courses would be Arroyo Golf Club, Highland Falls, and Palm Valley.

I think right now it's just comfort. I've just always gripped it that way so its whats most comfortable. With the shorter chip shots I'm not bringing the arms back and turning the shoulder like I would on a full length swing and thats where I feel the biggest difference.

Around the green and anything under 40 yards feels very comfortable with a more neutral grip and helps generate more spin which helps. Its just trying to implement that same grip into full swings especially in the longer clubs.

That makes sense for sure. My problem is a very strong grip with the right hand/ thumb basically on the right outer side or under the grip. This alone is making it harder for me to get a better shoulder turn because arms just dont work that way haha. I try to fix it at the range but I just feel out of whack trying to have a more neutral grip when making a full swing and after a few shots I slowly start fading into the old grip.

The one issue I see with this is how you get your ball to that distance. Carry vs Total distance. My 7 iron is 80-85mph ss and carries 170ish and rolls out to 185 because of low spin and being a picker. So my 5 iron while it might go 200 yards, it doesnt carry near that. More like carrying high 180s and rolling out 200-205. So for me, playing a course at 7200, if there is any sort of long carry par 3s then I am screwed. Or if its soft/ wet conditions and my ball doesnt roll out like it normally does, I'm very short on everything.

Spring is most definitely in the air. Even my apartments are getting in the spirit. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Mojave Resort Golf Club in Laughlin, NV. Almost like a hidden gem. Loved the layout but couldn’t get away from 25-30mph winds which made for a tough day. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
