Maybe once or twice every 3 rounds. I have a new driving iron that i hit extremely consistently and gets me out about 15 yards shorter than my 3 wood, but eliminates the hooks. On the typical course I play, I can live with hitting one more club in to the green from the fairway, vs the rough. That's not to say I dont hit my 3 wood well, but when I really need to hit the fairway, the driving iron is just much easier

That's the hope. I haven't been a straight driver of the golf ball and its really held back my scores over the last few years. I think being able to find 2-3 more fairways a round with the driver with my length would be huge

I currently am playing the Ping g410 LST and I am getting lessons. We decided to do a driver fitting for one of my lessons and I was getting good numbers with the Ping around 280 carry, but he noted my spin numbers just seemed way too high and my dispersion was a little too big. On a whim, he gave me a Sim with a ventus blue shaft and had me take a couple swings. First drive I thought I miss hit it of the toe based on the feel but it carried 315 right down the pipe. My spin was down from 2800 to 1800-2100 and my launch was 15 degrees. I hit 6 more and my numbers were great. More notable was my dispersion was down to 25 yards between left and right shots. Ball speed was maybe 1-3 higher, but the key for me was the spin reduction. I had not planned on buying an new driver this year, but based on the numbers we saw, it was a no brainer to order a SIM. It will be here in about 2 weeks and I cannot wait. Just hope I get similar results to what I saw in the fitting.

I recently did a driver fitting and we found that going from standard length to 44.5 greatly reduced my dispersion by increasing my center strike. I didn't sacrifice anything distance wise as well. I went from around 45 yards between left and right shots to 25 yards. It felt strange holding a shorter driver, but I couldn't argue with the results.

Still a good performer for me. I have switched over to the bridgestone tour b series but I still really like the feel and performance of the kirkland balls and wouldn't hesitate to using them

I wash mine every hole if I am able. No ball washers at most of my courses so i'll wash my ball in the water hazards by the green

I have recently switched over to the footjoy weather soft from the nike dura feel glove. The dura feels usually lasted me a full season to season and a half. Based on how my new footjoy 1 is wearing i'll probably get about the same out of it. I also use a footjoy rain glove if its humid or in the rain. A must for me is a glove with the extra leather padding on the palm
