Definitely room for improvement. If you are getting 10-11* and sun 2500 spin that’s going to be a problem especially with that land angle. With that low launch you would want/need more spin to help keep the ball in air probably around 2800 spin.

Your land angle should be 40-45ish

When doing your testing pay attention to all those numbers on each strike. They all matter when trying to find the best fit 

agreed. hence why i want to try the AV Blue (i know shafts to affect launch too much). As well, I am wondering with the swing work i have been doing, if my high spin off the tee has now gone low and now my epic max ls may be too low spin for me. May need to play around with the loft sleeve to find out. When i up'd my loft with the ventus up to 10*, i was seeing spin around 3k.

Follow my journey to enjoying golf and going low

Typically more loft is going to add spin. I know Howard posted in one or several threads what the change in loft would do to spin as well as how much it changes based on every iirc 1/8” change on the face location. Based on the ~800-1000rpm change iirc from a previous post you had the added loft it closed the face and quite possibly what happened is made your face to path worse and probably changed your dynamic loft as well which when all combined added the large increase in spin. 
 

I’ll be curious to see what your numbers are with the tensei shafts.

Its possible the swing changes have affected your swing path, face to parch, dynamic loft, aoa and possibly contact point on the face that when all combined don’t produce the right launch  characteristics. But you would need to compare all those numbers from before and now to see what/if anything changed

Thanks to Ebay I now have a matching 3&4 irons on the way to fill out the 5/PW MP 60s I bought the other day.  Total investment will be just shy of $150.  😀

Hit up the Peter muller store in Chicago. Got a sweet transfusion polo and a really nice quarter zip hoodie for fall golf. The sizes really work well so it’s a treat to get to the store vs online shopping. Plus the Father’s Day cooler bag was a nice touch even if I spent a little more than I wanted !C70A39F7-34E2-4BAA-8D66-D557CD631841.jpeg.1a4d349afde3e39cdcfd3d8491f4f967.jpegD6DB445E-E8A0-4873-A822-BE9692ABBE21.png.41935b984f9c0a47273b6ed81acdefd2.png

Having given up on Arccos, I decided to try Shot Scope.  It should arrive tomorrow.  I understand there will be a learning curve as I get accustomed to how it works, but am looking forward to it for sure.

Yeah that's what I was thinking - hopefully one or more of the kids is, or gets into, the game and eventually uses it themselves! 👍

Bought 4 Hirzl Gripp Fit gloves on Amazon. With as hot as it is right now I wanted to try these since they can be washed/rinsed-out, and they have a good bit of Lycra on them and no synthetic leather that feels hotter to me than regular leather. Putting them in play tomorrow.

Not good. Too much Lycra in the glove, so once it got the least bit sweaty it started slipping. Sent them back. The ones that are all leather would likely be better than these.

Ordered a few Jumbomax grips to test out. I've always had issues with golf grips feeling tiny coming from tennis (used 4 5/8" grips that I built up larger) so I'm hoping some larger grips will feel a little more comfortable and I won't feel the instinctual need to death grip the club. Grabbed a couple different sizes to experiment with once they arrive. Also had to grab a few new gloves since I wore my last FJ one out practicing today.

I posted about this elsewhere but I am so firmly in the honeymoon phase it is unbelieveable. I bought a 12* Speedzone Xtreme to test against my 9* Speedzone SZ (same shaft in both) and the early returns are amazing. My dispersion is much tighter and launch is obviously significantly up but really I just feel like all my strikes (both centered and otherwise) end up in about the same place distance wise. I didn't have any poor strikes off the tee, missed 1 fairway and overall just felt so in control of my driver. I will need to revisit this post in a month and see if I still feel this way.

What a difference a round makes. Played twice this past weekend and the second round my driver was bad, again. Distance wise it is doing fine but I was spraying it more and more (not as bad as the 9* but still not great). So, just lesson #1million that you must remain humble in this game and there is no magic equipment fix. The 12* is better than the 9* but, as I should have expected, can still get squirrely. Oh well. Golf is hard.
