Possible commotio cordis from the impact.

This is the real problem with strong lofts. Personally I don't care if your 7 iron is 28 degrees or 33 degrees. But in order to achieve 28, it means your wedge gapping is likely too large. PW to AW in the stealths is 6 degrees. 9 iron to PW is again 6 degrees. That's not helping most people in the scoring clubs. And theres an even bigger problem on the other end of the bag. OP has speed, but most mid and high cappers these clubs are targeting don't have the speed to launch a 21 degree 5 iron. Even a 24 degree 6 is questionable. If you end up replacing these with hybrids you payed alot of money for a mini iron set. If you keep them you have clubs with limited gapping. Or you've committed yourself to buying new hybrids and 5 woods to try to fit in.

Yeah. Brysons contract with Bridgestone is over. I'm sure he is heavily involved in the development of this ball.

Very cool to set this all up. I've got my money and vacation time in a Scotland trip at the end of may and beginning of june otherwise I would be all over this. Maybe a west coast swing next year?

Can we get a colon and a space after the Location? Should match the Instagram and Handicap lines. Seems like it could be an easy fix.

I wish I had the answer for you. 44s are clearly not made by people that wear 44s. A little more crotch seam and a little less ankle cuff. Cant be that hard to figure out.

If you havent seen it...

Just dropping off a positive review for Jason at Sub70. I had email some questions about a very specific driving iron build that I had in mind, and he called me back same day on the cell phone. Talked to me for 20 minutes, answered every question I had, and ultimately had me going in a different direction as they couldnt achieve the specs I was going for. He pretty much knew that when he called, but wanted to take the time to explain everything. I appreciate that honesty and service. I was trying to give him some business, but I'll be back.

Got a Scotland trip booked up for next year and am looking at add a utility iron to the bag as a secondary tee club. Testing has begun with the Ping G425 crossover, Cleveland UHX, and Tour Edge EXS TI, but I'll add a few other I'm sure.

Nice. Those shafts are sick. As I Oregon State grad, I'm always partial to the black and orange.

I've seen some tests before, and as long as the balls were in excellent condition there is just a minuscule difference. Like 1-5 yards less carry. If your playing great golf and are happy with with lake balls, I dont see a reason to change your strategy. The problem for me is the ball that is unknowingly damaged. Maybe its sat much longer than one week. Has some UV damage on one side that has degraded the dimples on a 1/3rd of the ball. Perhaps there are chemicals in the water that chalk or degrade the outer layer. If the shell had a small crack would that weight dissipate as quickly? What sort of balance does the ball have? If you've hit driver on a range that has bad range balls then you know the feeling of a well struck shot out of the middle that you are expecting to go 270 and then it drops out of the sky and top spins into the ground at 160 yards and that only reason is that was a bad ball. I'm not looking for one of those on the course.

Albatross for sure. Statistically much more difficult.

Congratulations and welcome!

This is a little different, and hence why its called a unicorn or goat. They are hard to find at all, and especially under $200 despite being released in 2007 from whats largely considered a 2nd tier manufacture at best. The driver sells for pennies. The 2 wood is different. Its not a 12 degree driver that numerous manufacturers produce. Its 16 degrees of loft. The head is heavy. Mine plays D4 at 44 inches. You cut 12 degree driver to 44 and its playing in the Cs without lead. Very unique club. Most comparable clubs are ladies drivers or old man drivers that are light and tinny.

Sorry to hear about the layoff. I dont have a ton of advice, other than mentioning that at 35 I made a major change in my career path and now work in the aviation industry in Chandler, AZ. Of course I am doing IT, so I don't have any ins about piloting, but no time like the present to veer towards a genuine interest. Seems like there is plenty demand in the industry right now as well. Perhaps, in the interim, it could be worth looking into working in an accounting department in the aviation industry. There are opportunities for sponsored pilot training from major airlines at flight schools in Chandler and Mesa, and maybe these companies would be more receptible to working around your training schedule.

I've been forced to experiment with some unconventional setups because I am absolutely terrible with fairways woods off the deck. I played 17* hybrids for a while. Tried 16 and 18 degree driving irons with no luck. Finding the Cobra F6 Baffler was a revelation. Finally gave me a weapon on par 5s and off the tee when needing to layup. That really completed my bag and let me play a pretty normal 13 club setup with D, 4 wood, hybrid, 5-PW, GW, SW LW. But then I found the ultimate unicorn... The Cleveland HiBore XL 2 wood. Very odd club. Is it fugly? Yes. Does it hit straight bombs? Yes. Ok then. Shaft is 44 inches. I'm not sure of the official specs on head size, but I'd put it at 400-420cc. Bigger then mini drivers. The loft is at 16 degrees with a very tall face. Its basically a massive 3 wood. And as such is a tee only club, but its near impossible not to hit the ball high and straight with predictable carry. I find myself using it more and more. Started off as a layup club off the tee. But it launches so freaking high that its great for cutting corners over trees or houses. I've got complete confidence that its never going left which basically puts a form of driver in my hand when the hole was designed to take it out like the 17th at TPC Scottsdale. So now, the bag is somewhat odd with D, 2 wood, 4 wood... etc.

He's going, going, back, back, to Cally, Cally.

What was the change in your strategy? Seems like you hit 5 greens in a row, and nearly got on a par 5 in 2. Fairways, greens, and 2 putts is a great strategy but not all that realistic. Your going to hit bad shots and miss targets and scores will waver, but how did you deviate from the plan?

I've heard of CPO for a long time, but finally used them for the first time about a month ago. Bought two putters in good condition and they still had shaft, sole, and grip stickers on them. Could pass for brand new. I ended up sending one putter back, but it was a great way to test them out.

What were the results of the lie angle fitting for irons?

Had the smoker fired up to do some spatchcocked chickens, but decided to prefunk with some smoked queso first.

Definitely removeable. There should be a number on the underside of the weight indication the weight in grams. 7 grams is quite common. I've got a 10 gram and 13 gram as well. If you add 2 grams of weight to the driver head, you will increase the swingweight by approximately one point.

I've been holding off on a review because I've yet to play a round with this bag. But its been living in my car and getting used constantly at the range and practice greens. I love always having a variety of clubs with me. Its really served me well at the chipping area where I used to just bring one club and have at it. Now I'll take turns with different wedges and really test what shot types work best from different lies.

As I said, grips are very personal. I do not believe their is a singular correct grip, as so much has do with swing matchups, hand size, comfort, swing intentions, etc. Ultimately, the correct grip is the one that helps you play your best golf. Then its no surprise that you will always find good players that are outliers like Bryson or a 10 finger player like Tommy Gainey. You are right that there is more than one way to play this game effectively. Thats exactly what I alluded to in the paragraph that you did not quote.

There's no one size fits all here answer. Grips are very personal. Alot of it is based on your hand size. Some if it is based on the action on the ball where someone who battles the left miss might like a larger grip. Theres many, many, valid reasons why one player might prefer a smaller or larger grip. That being said, in my opinion, the explosion in midsize offerings is because a decent percentage of people grip the club incorrectly and a larger grip feels more comfortable and natural. For someone that runs the grip more through the palm of the hands and less through the fingers a standard grips feels too small. A larger grip is easier to hold with less pressure and feels better. I'd rather see the root of the problem addressed and the grip fixed, but if you are going to hold the club that way you probably do play better with midsize or +4 grips.
