Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and are serving especially my fellow Vietnam vets.

Comment from an old fart, age 75. Have recoil shafts in a couple woods but have upgraded to UST Helium in my current driver and 3 wood which perform even better. Playing Ping G700s in my irons with Ping Alta sr flex shafts. Still get good distance with all and easy on the joints. Avg 230 with the driver and 150 with 6 iron. Exercise program also helps.

Played for the first time in 2 months last week. First 2 drives out of the gate with the SZ were slices. Turned my right hand under a little more and it straightened everything out. Also try the 8 deg draw setting. Works for me.

If you can try a 44.5 inch shaft, go to R flex and a little lighter say 55 grams. I had a lot of problems with heel strikes and the shorter shaft allowed for consistent center face strikes. My swing speed is about the same. May help.

Srixon makes a very good ball for use on a windy day.. Shot an 84 today in a two club wind using a Q Star Tour. Ball performed really well.

I purchased a standard Speedzone because it did go 10 yds farther.

Play Pro V1, Srixon Q Star Tour, or Taylormade Tour Response

As you age you will find lighter shafts are of benefit. Once your over 65, you'll be loving them. Am 74 and that's all I use.

I play what works best for me. Have a mixed bag. Driver and 3 wood are Cobra Speedzone, 5 Wood is Callaway Fusion, Mizuno 4 hybrid, 5 iron thru gap wedge are Ping G700s, sand wedge and lob wedge are Cleveland and putter is a Cameron Newport 2.

Hit an 8 iron from a fairway bunker 145 yds from the green to within 3 ft of the pin on a par 4. Sank the put for a bird. One of two birds yesterday. Was a good day on the links.

Nailed it as far as I'm concerned. Gaming a Cobra Speedzone with UST helium tour shaft R flex. Set to 8 and a half degree draw. 74 yrs old. 91 mph swing speed. Constant center face hits averaging 230 yds. Consistently hitting 8 - 10 fairways per round. Love this driver.

Supported local Edwin Watts store yesterday and purchased a Ping Traverse cart bag, a box of Taylormade Tour Response balls and a Bionic golf glove.
