Callaway Utility Wood.
Honestly it’s a ridiculous club, teamed with a Tour AD DI 8X it’s probably the best club I’ve ever played.
just want a 15 degree one now.
*** Also learn to swing like Nelly Korda. Game changer from the deck.

Better and it’s not even close.
in casual rounds I have a tendency for the “watch this” shots.

Hey guys,
I’ve been out the game for 5 months now after a work shoulder injury. I’m getting back playing but feel my shoulder after 7-9 holes.
I’ve been advised to try graphite shafts for a bit to build up the strength and muscles again but can’t find any local to try. so I need help on finding a graphite shaft that plays like my Modus 120 X
my swing speed has remained the same it’s just the impacts that get to me.
any advice is greatly appreciated on the 105TX vs 95S in the mmts

Purchased a Radspeed 3 wood then got a Tour AD for it at 42” for more reliability and less distance off the tee.
felt the Sim titanium was a bit to long for gapping and when a steal comes along it’s rude not too.

As do I. On the way to the range with a small bucket before a round, I will stop at the pitching green and hit maybe 10-15 balls. Each time out I vary the distance from 10-30 yards.
If I am at the course just to practice, I will hit maybe half a medium bucket working on trajectory. Then pick them up, and head to the range. After the range I head to the putting green to putt. If the green is mostly empty, I will practice chipping using my lob and gap wedges with my gamer balls. Focus is where I want to land the ball. The more you practice with gamer balls, the better you get at predicting the amount of rollout when you play.
Whilst I completely agree for roll and spin. Range balls are great great tool for drilling chipping swing lengths.
really getting a feel of what a half swing is takes a lot of reps and watching it back on video to say yeah or no it’s miles off.

I’ve been really working in flighting down the golf ball for months now and I finally after todays practice round think I am now in control of it. Plenty low flighted 7 irons that still span and stopped and a lush if I say so myself pitching wedge kept well down out the wind that one hop stopped exactly as planned.
course was too wet to really do much practice practice but the thought of an hour on the range didn’t find joy so I meandered along enjoying playing golf.

If I hadn’t bought a spider recently, if you didn’t live on a different continent and that was 34” I would buy this.
truly special looking flat stick.

You can plug the gap or learn a 3/4 smooth PW. Maybe choke down an inch. That should fill the gap perfectly.
it’s something I think every player should know is the gapping of full 3/4 and 1/4 PW and Gap wedge as well as choking down with the same wedges. Usually find you don’t need the exact yard club often and we as amateurs are not anywhere near good to 100% swinging a wedge for accuracy.

Warmed up and practiced with the new 3 wood tonight. Focused on pausing at the the top to keep the swing steps in step.
will need to probably adjust the shaft length as I forgot how long Cobra are from standard.

Bought a new spider(again) so rolled the ball indoors today, rolling great on carpet will see on the green stuff next month.
playing the reopened Dundonald Links better find some game to take.
-
Has anyone bought these?
how did they fit? Small or large?
-
I practiced bad golf it seems.
pulled every iron 10 yards off line and pushed every 3 wood 20 yards off line.
bad day at the office but it’s winter so hey ho.

What part do you need clarification on?
Eurgh my first reply failed.
bit ultimately I’d like clarity on why you think club design/developments warrants a 30* 7 iron.
it’s just not necessary.

It has nothing to do with the my X goes further than you X crowd.
Just completely ignoring the whole design aspect and how things have to be done to fit into launch windows and not have balls just balloon and fall out of the sky. Which is been discussed over and over on every golf forum forever.
Some people are just never going to accept club design aspect and the lofts and numbers stamped on that club.
Pardon?

It can be annoying, and I was in your camp and nervous about playing the Forged Tec's in CC4. Turns out I play those lofts awesome and have about 15 yard gaps through my irons and wedges. Now I'll concede that I have a Forged Tec Gap Wedge AND a MIM Black Gap Wedge. But one is 48* and the other is 52* so while they're both "GW" in name they're not in reality. Took me a round or two to get used to it, but since then its been gravy.
However, I will agree with @chisag that 5* feels a little much. I would love to have it tightened up to maybe 12 yards per club, but that also creates a gap at either end I'd need to figure out.
It also helps that I like to play 3 "scoring" wedges with different bounces. I find myself in all sorts of interesting places on the course... some very lush and some very firm. I need options there! But I know other guys have been on here that still rock two scoring wedges with their iron set PW and up.
Just mentally looking at my bag and seeing two gap wedges would play on my mind for 18 every time.
am I mentally weak? Yes.

P7MC have arrived. Very happy back to Z Grips

... I don't really care about lofts per iron as it makes no difference to me if the Pw or 9i is 44* and a Gw is 48/49* because it is the same club with a different number on the bottom. As long as all my yardages are covered I am not gonna complain about modern lofts. What I really dislike though is the 5* gaps between clubs with 4* gaps in ( ) making a full 1/2 club difference. My Cobra's have strong lofts but have 4* gaps. I had more 3/4 shots than I would have liked when I played the P790's with their 5* gaps. I get it simplifies things for the higher index player that may not be as accurate with distances so it works well in SGI's, but I have to imagine some older low index players would be interested in the 225's:
Pw ... 44 (44)
9 ... 39 (40)
8 ... 34 (36)
7 ... 30 (32)Yeah I get it’s just a different number but the 7 iron was a degree stronger than my 6 and that means I need a ton more wedges and it’s just A. Pointless and B. f****** annoying.
I thought Mizuno were above the “my pw goes further than your 8 bro” crowd.

Did some swing work today to try and limit the pull hook and wide dispersion. Like most everyone, path was pretty consistent and face was a little wild (most people's variation is about double). I was actually hitting the ball pretty solid but noticed my path ranged from about 1 degree in to out to 1 degree out to in which seems to be leading to hitting pulls, pushes, draw, and fades. Unsuccessfully tried to get my path to be a couple of degrees in to out or out to in. Will give it another go tomorrow.
Get that face open and keep the out to in
