I've been on a big classical kick this week.

How Do You Organize Your Bag?
russtopherb replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Introduce Yourself/ WIYB (What's In Your Bag)
I've got a 5 way divider in my bag. Top section is driver, fairway, putter. Middle sections are 5h/6i, then 7i/8i/9i. Bottom two sections are PW/GW then 54*/58*. It works well for me, although I will say that I want my next bag to have a separate putter well. -
Golfspy_CG2 Driver Shootout
russtopherb replied to Golfspy_CG2's topic in Drivers, Fairway Woods & Hybrids
Interesting, I had a 910 D2 and it worked amazingly for my terrible swing at the time. Short, but an absolute fairway finder. -
Are there any anti-left hybrids?
russtopherb replied to GT1885's topic in Drivers, Fairway Woods & Hybrids
A hybrid that doesn't hook for you may actually be a higher lofted fairway wood. That was the solution for me for a long time, using fairways instead of hybrids. Then some lessons fixed what was causing hybrids to hook, and now my 5h is one of my favorite clubs -

Titleist drivers just always seem to work for you, Rob. -
Last year I went the opposite way - lighter graphite to heavier steel, both in R flex, and I found that my dispersion tightened up significantly. Next step for me is to go back to graphite but in a heavier weight.

issue facinng in hitting straight shots in golf?
russtopherb replied to Eman_Sh's topic in General Q&A
Tough to diagnose without seeing your setup and swing, unfortunately. You could be coming over the top, you could be hitting with a wide open face, your shoulders may be misaligned and what you think is swinging down the line is actually swinging well left of target... could be a number of reasons. If you could post a video of your swing from down the line, you may be able to get some decent advice. If you have any reputable pros in your area, a lesson or two so you have a set of qualified eyes on you in real time might not hurt either. -
So no one watched on TV and no one was there either. My father in law had it on for a little bit yesterday afternoon while he was channel surfing, I've seen bigger crowds at PGA Jr events.

Ideal irons and setup for tennis elbow recovery
russtopherb replied to Fe-man's topic in General Q&A
Graphite shafts, arm band, and LOTS of stretches/exercises. -
Ferrules for me have gotten loose due to keeping the clubs in my trunk for a long period of time. Now I try to keep it to no more than a couple of days, max. In the winter, everything goes in my upstairs closet where it slumbers awaiting spring. My local range just opened a few days ago, so we're getting very close for my bag to wake up.

Bifurcation/Ball Roll Back Discussion

"Hey let's go fix a problem that doesn't exist" - Some old guy at the USGA, probably. -
Wilson Staff Dynapower Lineup
russtopherb replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Drivers, Fairway Woods & Hybrids
Is it possible the previous owner modified it in any way? Definite possibility. In any case, purchasing a driver off the shelf is always a crapshoot either way. I know of the W/S drivers I've owned, I've been inconsistent with 100% of them. It simply may not be the best club for you, regardless of swing weight. Rob, why you gotta do this to me????? -

Were you fit to it, or did you buy it off the shelf?
