  1. For me.. once I made the decision on which line am taking, am very comfortable over the putt. I just pull back and forward. Even if I miss, as long as I was hitting the spot I was intending to hit am ok. All that mean need to adjust my aim.
  2. After switching by Putter back to my StrokeLab 7, notice that my stoke was back to normal. Sometimes switching back and forth helps when you loose your feel on your putts. Played some fast green over the weekend (I think the pavement might have been slower). But I like the lines , I wasn't lost like I was 4 rounds ago. So back to practicing my chipping and putting to keep my consistency and throw in some Iron work to work the kinks out of the new set.
  3. I need to go back and practice my putting again.. i have been horrible the last 4 rounds. I even went back to old dependable StrokeLab 7 since I lost the feel on my Evnroll Outback 10. Then I have to make some range sessions with my irons, need to get those dialed in. Am still not 100% on how to hit them and how far they are going. Last 3 rounds. Some shots felt like I hit them on the sweet spot and went no where and others I felt like I missed hit went the yardage.
  4. Well look at you with the cool gear. Now its time for you to come out and play. I have been on the fence on that Wellputt mat to replace my current putting mat. You said you got it used? or is that new?
  5. If you haven't tried or even considered a Sub70 949x Fairway wood, you should. I was a 5 wood tester earlier this year and loved that club, out of the box it just perform and exceeded expectation. SO, I was struggling with my TE 3 Wood and decided to get the 949x 3 wood. Took it out for the first time yesterday and it played like I had in my bag for years.. Straight and long, even on miss hits. definitely I have regain confidence on my 3 Wood again. Take a look you wont be disappointed
  6. Ha. I wish it was just a week.. am original from NYC, so by now my clubs would have been put away until March (maybe) But here in Texas its weird.. it was jus 70s the week before, then down to the 30-50s and next week down to the 10-20s. BUT the following week "suppose to be in the mid 50s" who knows.. all I know that in February there will be a week that it will be in the 20s, then Winter is over and summer begins the week after.. Thanks.. they are good looking clubs.... my friend thought they were blades when he first saw them.. he was like WTF you doing with blades.. lol
  7. I hear you.. it was 39 degrees when we started and finished at 49 degrees on Saturday.. just hard to get going, super inconsistent round. This week temps are dropping to 10-20 degrees.. no golf this week/weekend.
  8. After testing the Pro 223 (which were similar to my MMC MP-18) Tested and decided on the Pro 225. They gave me the better spin and launch rates and was more forgiving. I like the smaller head and blade like looks. Took them out for the first round yesterday. They were solid, need to do some work on the range to dial them in. They are stronger loft than the MP-18. And going from Aerotech 125cw stiff shaft to Nippon Modus 105 stiff, it will take a little adjustment. But so far I'm happy with them..unfortunately Winter is here...need to wait a week or so before temps get back up to playing conditions.
  9. I just purchased the 3 wood after having test the 5 wood earlier this year. It has become my go to club of the tee /fairway. Hoping the 3wood will permorm the same way.
  10. After been part of the @Sub70 5 Wood review and this becoming my go to club, I felt it was time to get the matching 3 wood and added to the bag. By far the easiest 5Wood I have ever hit, 3 wood can't be to far behind.
  11. Finally got my new Mizunos Pro 225 irons.. can't wait to test them out on the course.. And some Paige for company
  12. Well, after years of go no go.. I have made the switch from my Mizuno MMC MP-18 to Mizuno Pro 225 with Nippon Modus 105. Should have them by next week. Looking forward to starting new season with new sticks.. Hopefully my game doesn't go to the crapper.
  13. Well, the iron work this pass week payed off, hit irons like I haven't in months and was able to capture a tournament win.. NOW, I need to find the balance on practicing short game/Iron and some driver work.. just for good measure..
  14. After years on focusing on my short game, my iron game as suffer.. it is the worse its ever been. Its time to start hitting the range and working on that part of my game.. its always something.. stupid game.. lol
  15. I have been gaming Odyssey Strokelab Seven putter for years, and just like you the Evnroll ER10 caught my eye, the size didn't bother me or back of the putter which people complain about that they couldn't get pass was not an issue. I was more concern how it roll and if it could dethrone my Seven Putter (at this time there was ZERO reason to change). But made the purchase anyway, compare both at the course putting green, and right away i notice there was a more consistent roll and confident stroke (I took that as new putter honeymoon). After a month or so I notice that i was hitting the line with the same stroke but was coming up short, compare to the same stroke with the Seven. Did some further research and practice , that the because of the designed of the face, which no matter where you hit rolls the same distance, you need it to hit a bit harder on longer putts. Other than that, its the most consistent putter I have ever used. A year later , I have had the best putting stats in years, better than my Seven.
  16. About 90% of the time use my 60º around the greens, specially on tight lies, front, side, back.. I feel i have more control and very little run off from my target. by focusing on using this wedge primarily , has improve my short game significant. I only use my 56º from the sand and longer shots to give me that low or high shots around the green. For ME, i like the ball just slightly forward of center, i get a better feel of the bounce and contact with the ball, resulting in more consistent chips and stops. anytime i try to lean forward or put the wedge back in my stands,, there is no consistency , and I have practice those shots to get a feel for it, but just doesn't work for me.
  17. This last 6 months of practicing just chipping (with 60/56 Wedges) and then practicing putting from 3-5 feet. Has paid off significantly. I'm to the point now that if I missed a green (which I normally do), the confidence that I will either chipped in or get it close. And then putting, the fact that if you chipped to that range of 3-5 feet that you will make that putt is such a stress free environment. Specially since off the tee is not an issue, fairway finder 71% of the time. Next is to find a routing for my 8-7-6 irons, need to find the same consistency I have found in my short game, it will be amazing if I can get that GIR average 20-30% to up to 40-50% would be a monumental improvement. 2020 Stats 2021 Stats 2022 Stats
  18. Has anyone, has purchase and used this grips? I heard about them yesterday, suppose to keep tackiness for a long time. According to their website they do not need to be replace for 2-3yrs.
  19. I don't think is longer than the AVX but it better around the greens, in my opinion. The AVX to me is too jumpy, specially on the greens, putts will fly by on normal strokes.
  20. I continue to work on by chipping and putting at least 2 times a week. With 60/56 Wedges and then putting from 3-10ft . This routine has help my consistency with the wedges specially, builds alot of confidence when you head out to the course that if you missed the green is not a big deal you will get close and make those putts from 3-6ft. But I do need work on doing some Iron practice sessions.. that is loosing the effectiveness.
  21. Has anyone seen these lately? I saw a sleeve at the local golf course, and some on EBay, but non anywhere else. Are these coming soon? I like this more than the green stripes. Anyone has any info?
  22. I need to find a good affordable Portable Launch Monitor
  23. Some chipping and putting this morning, pretty solid practice session. Doing practice at 7am before the sun is out and its Hella Hot.. best option evah. Need to do that more often. If only I could fit in 9 holes before 8:30am that would be great..
  24. Played a very consistent round on Saturday with @TR1PTIK . Course management, played the percentages and didn't get greedy even thou i could easily have on some holes. Happy with most of my game, continue to drive the ball well, Irons are still a little thin for whatever reason. But not getting me in trouble. Wedges and Putter are steady. Sub70 5 Wood is absolute money, it will stay in the bag for this weekend tournaments. Holes, 13/14 lack of concentration.. I was on the fringe in 3, try to get cute with a chip, resulted in a slick down hill putt that ended 15ft. Then on 14th fried egg, not getting out, blasted to end of the green. But then settle down and back to normal operations.
