I know @dlow206 has played a lot of different clubs, but who's to say this isn't his first Vokey!? Haha. Lately, i have been more thoughtful about the clubs I have been buying. Besides getting fit for and buying the Ping 10K, I haven't really purchased much lately. The missing thing for me with wedges is that I have never been fit for them (besides the Edel fitting which was off a mat). Assuming the fitting I have is a good quality fitting, I will stick with whatever is recommended, at least for a while. sirchunksalot, cnosil, ejgaudette and 4 others 7 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My iron set now goes up to a 5 iron and have some odd gaping issues. I had a 4/5 hybrid as because when I first started golf a couple years ago I didn’t have the ball striking to hit anything above a 5 iron. My 5 iron and hybrid go roughly the same distance now (within 5 yards of each other). I’m thinking I’ll trade in the hybrid as my ball striking is now one of the stronger parts of my game. I still have a 3H so I’m on the fence about adding a 4i to my set and just going 3H 3W Driver or adding a 17-19 degree driving iron as they are a little easier and more forgiving than a 4 iron. I also like the idea of having a club that can stay low and I can hit off the tee on windy days or narrow courses. My have have down to a 4iron and considered a 3 long iron just to fit my gap but i ended up with a 2 iron the ive found i can choke down on confidently sue to it just being longer. Now my problem is that i hit my driver with so much spin and inaccuracy that im basically just hitting the 2iron and leaving the driver in the bag. For reference i hit my 4iron consistently like 230-240 and the 2 is hitting around 270ish (still need more reps to know my certain distances) and my driver is around 285in the air. My ability to hit my driver is something to be seen. It could be a chip cause i strike so high on the face it is could be a hammer. Theres no telling whats gonna happen when that clubs in my hand cksurfdude, William P and aguybadatgolf 3 Quote Been playing for about 2 years in total. Winter breaks and a 6month period when I got sick. Starting to feel like myself again and recently played a “okay” round. I currently have custom fit Cobra LTDx irons/wedges, a Vokey 60(cause my short game has been the best part of my game, and a Maverick 9 deg. Driver. Driving is the worst part of my game so My 4 iron usually takes alot of the long game abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I’m spraying it all over the face and can’t control it at all. On those days I’m usually not hitting my 3W or 3H well so a driving iron does sound appealing because my irons are solid 95% of the time lol.

For whatever reason that one worked the best for me and dialed in my putting quickly. There are two totally different putting strokes one that as you say rotates a bit on an arc and a straight path thus the reason for toe hang and such iam more of a straight path but this reminded me of my buddy who was convinced he could buy the game of golf but we all know how that works out. He is actually a decent putter and has the arc like you do BUT he bought this crazy putting aid that you actually put your putter in and close the lid and it supposedly shows you takeaway to follow thru BUT it's a straight line so he spends hours on the thing and we go to the course and he has his flowneck Newport (which is absolutely an arc style putter) and he is missing putts by four feet and getting madder and madder every hole (I couldn't stop laughing it was so funny because I could clearly see what was happening) by the time I pulled into his driveway he was fuming mad and jumped out of my truck ran in the garage and threw the entire putting aide setup in his pond only after it sank did I have the heart to tell him he was training for one thing and doing another. So I saw a DIY where you stand on a sheet of plywood or similar and tape a pencil to your putter and take a couple strokes and that shows your arc. You then get a small thin piece of trim that will bend like foam core or such and nail it to your arc, now you have an edge to guide the back of your putter and this helps you perfect your arc William P and cksurfdude 2 Quote WITB Driver is PING G430 MAX 10K 9° W/VENTUS BLACK 44.5" TOUR VELVET GRIP 3 WOOD TAYLORMADE M2 15° W/ADDI BB TOUR VELVET GRIP IRONS PING G410 4 AND 5 IRON W/X100 IRONS 6-9 PING I200 W/X100 WEDGES TITLEIST VOKEY SM8 48° CHROME VOKEY 52° 56° AND 60 ALL IN CHROME FINISH WITH DYNAMIC GOLD AND MCC+4 GRIPS SCOTTY CAMERON TOUR RAT GSS 350G MATADOR GRIP SUN MOUNTAIN C-130 CART BAG NIKON LASER TITLEIST PRO V 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it was explained to me was that this thought is a way to avoid decelerating through impact; if you go back 4 inches and through 12 inches, you won't quit on the stroke before impact. All depends on how you swing. With the hit approach, how you make sure you are accelerating at the right pace to control distance. My stroke is a little more gravity controlled so I try to avoid the subconscious swing a little harder since this is uphill or a little less hard since this is downhill. Just move the putter back and let it fall through the ball.

Another Steve Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Been pondering grip size lately and thinking about going bigger. Glove is a 2x and i’ve played midsize + 3 wraps forever. Think I’ll get some raquet tape and put a wrap over top of my Golf Pride tour wraps… cksurfdude, William P and ZJeb67 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually trying the JumboMax grips right now myself. I got a ultralight and the tour to start. I did gain a little speed with the ultralight but was not as consistent with my strike and the tour and the counter weighting I was make center contact basically every time. So I plan to get a few more tours this week and will put one on a wedge to test with short game and one on the driver. Unless there is something with the driver of in the short game I really don't like I am thinking I will be switching to them.

Steve F Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I have been considering driving irons: I have an absolute terrible time with my fairway wood no matter what I do. If I'm at any distance, I automatically pull out the 4 iron and go from there. The M2 and I just don't get along at all: I always seem to push the ball right. 4 iron? Long and straight most of the time, which is leading me to believe that utility/driving irons may be my best interest to pursue. I've been looking at the Titleist 5 series, Cobra and the PXG long irons. Does anyone use them and are they worth a good hard look at? Thanks!

cnosil Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Thinking about getting my putter adjusted. Been working on my putting a bunch since it is the only thing I can work on right now. During todays most wanted putter testing session they happened to take a video of my stroke and based on setup the putter heel was off the ground. My practice and testing seem to indicated that a little shorter in length and a more upright lie angle seems to help with start line, stroke, and rhythm. cksurfdude, ZJeb67, William P and 1 other 2 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: Paradym AI Smoke Max HL 16.5* w/MCA TENSEI AV Series Blue Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Render w/VA Composites Baddazz Backup Putters: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe, Milled Collection RSX 2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
