i too enjoyed the TXG video. The difference in sound is interesting to me as well. Can't wait to give these new drivers a try! -

Titleist Introduces New TSi 2 and TSi 3 Drivers
JScott replied to Golfspy_CG2's topic in Boom Sticks
i agree. Wonder 2 things: 1. will quality be impacted if mass produced 2. is DG getting its butt kicked with the wave of Ventus shafts? all in all, pretty cool to get a premium shaft...yes $200 uncharge but still not bad. -
Titleist Introduces New TSi 2 and TSi 3 Drivers

agreed! I am really looking forward to understanding the face design and what the new materials bring to the table. Also, Titleist site is updated with their selection tool and info as well. -

This is a good point. Not to get too far off track ,but i want to put myself in the best position to make the best score i can. My old mindset was "hit fairway, hit green" and i was still not really making much progress. I am trying to think about where to hit shots instead of just hit the ball. Lastly, I have been thinking of the green in quarters. I am not going after every pin, but i am going for the best chance to make birdie or par. If the pin is in a good spot, i go for it. If it is in a "sucker" position, i will try to hit shot in that quarter of the green. For whatever reason,

100% agree with you. I am rethinking my approach to the game and have been thinking backwards (where is the pin from the tee). I am really trying to understand where i SHOULD NOT hit it off the tee instead of where i should. EXAMPLE: pin is back left on a hole that doglegs left. I really don't want to be in the middle left of the fairway or i am blocked out. I want to be middle right of the fairway. By understanding where i can miss it, i have been hitting more greens and am closer to the hole. My handicap has dropped this year with just a mental adjustment. I agree with you that Stro

Here is what i mean. Yes, I want to hit the fairway, yes i want to hit the green, and yes I don't want to 3 putt. To me, it has to do with how close I am hitting it to the hole. Like someone else said, you hit every green, be 40 feet away and 3 putt half of them. I try to hit every shot within 20 feet. (even chip shots, bunker shots, etc.). If i do that, i probably will never 3 putt from that distance, make more birdies and less bogeys (or more pars and less doubles). If i can hit a lot of shots closer, i probably hit a good drive, a good approach or chip. This all came about when i was

I am more focused on proximity to the hole

2020 Official Member Review: Hogan GS53 driver
JScott replied to StrokerAce's topic in Official Forum Member Reviews
Quick update. I have been playing the Hogan driver exclusively for a month or so now. For kicks, I put back in my old Titleist driver. I am sold on the HOGAN for one very simple reason....the trajectory is so much better. Still loving the HOGAN! -
2020 Official Member Review: Hogan GS53 driver
JScott replied to StrokerAce's topic in Official Forum Member Reviews
OK, so went to my home course with the intention of walking 9. Got paired up with another person and wound up walking 18 on the tougher, narrower, course (my home club has 36 holes). Really starting to love this HOGAN driver. The club now sits square (at least to my eyes) and i am having a much easier time getting lined up. I am growing more and more confident in this club. I will point to a few things. 1. feedback--the immediate feedback coming off the face is great. Also, i love the sound this driver makes and the feel of it. 2. ball flight--the ball is coming off the f -

I agree with this. Played 18 yesterday and did have a chance to hit two drives on a few holes. While I hit my Titleist driver further on average, I am finding myself more consistent with the HOGAN driver. Also played around with the setting Friday night until the driver looked square at setup. I set up much easier yesterday and I still love the feedback the Hogan gives. The sound is a perfect blend between too muted and too loud. The feel is amazing. I also am finding a more consistent flight and i am hitting it higher, which i like for total carry distance. I am still finding (for some -

Yep, that's it. It is probably me but it find it very distracting. When i feel i am square (club face to ball) and look up, I'm way off. When i get lined up square with feet and shoulders and put the club down, it looks really shut. -

JScott replied to StrokerAce's topic in Official Forum Member Reviews
Played 9 last evening. No Rattle. This driver sounds, looks, and feels awesome! I am having a hard time getting set over the ball and I think i know why. The face bulges out (at least to my eyes) and it seems that the toe and heel sit further back. In other words, it seems the actual hitting area for the face is small. Anyone else noticing the face seems overly rounded? Results from practice session with my personal launch monitor (VoiceCaddie SC300)--Ball speed 156ish on average, swing speed 105ish on average, carry was 260ish on average. The ball did not curve at all. If i -

Very windy here today. This driver seems to launch the gall higher. I also kept noticing a left miss. Most ball marks on the face are center to slight higher than center. Still love the sound of the ball coming off the face -

Hi all, a way more detailed review soon but I hit some balls w this yesterday. The set up behind the ball is fantastic..the contrast of the ball and the dark head is stunning. The head is slightly rounded and I like that classic look. The sound of the ball coming off the face is so nice. It is not muted nor does it should like a gun being fired. The only ‘downside’ I see is the club seems to looked closed to me. I found it slightly hard to get set up. I need to play around with the adjustable settings. More soon, but very encouraged so far! -
2020 Birdie Every Hole Challenge
JScott replied to GolfSpy MPR's topic in Arrange a game with fellow Spies
At this point, I would be happy to play the "play every hole" challenge. I am in MD and we are one of 6 states remaining with no course openings. -

I can't do that from 4 feet, let alone 40. Crazy good!
