heavygolffeels Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I've been looking for another tee club to use on shorter par 4's or where some water or fairway bunkers just call for a shorter shot. Right now, I do not game any fairway woods as I get along much better with hybrids and have a 17* degree that is effectively a 4/5 wood. I am testing the Hogan UiHi so that may become an option for me, but with my current bag setup I'm thinking strong 3 wood, mini driver, or even a second driver at a higher loft. I've tried some stronger 3 woods. I just moved on from testing an Adams Super XTD at 14.5. Was long, but no more better dispersion than my driver. I picked up a x2 hot 3 deep pro at 14.5. Only had range time, but have really been impressed. The only problem is it sits open and I hit nothing but fades. I can live with that, but thats the ball flight from my driver and in an ideal world this secondary tee club would be easy to draw. So I just made a move on a Callaway Mini 1.5 at 12 degrees. Will probably bump it to 13 or 14 to close it a touch and we'll see. Still have an eye out for a F9 Tour Length at 12*. Maybe a PING rapture.

tony@CIC Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I have a question for anyone who plays a 48* gap wedge, or those of you who are better at this wedge set up thing than I am... My Rogue X irons had a 46* gap wedge. The lofts were so strong in that set of irons, I had to give up something somewhere, so I used a 52* 56* setup at the bottom of my bag and dropped my 58*. The 52* - 56* gapped very well behind the 46*, but there were times I really missed having a 58* for short side bunker or flop shots around the green. I made do by opening up the 56, but... My question is, now that my GW is 48*, should I go 52-58 54-58 52-56 current set up I'm just wondering what you would do. It will be a painless switch financially, as I have over a month left on a 90 day playability with my current wedges. *** I should also note that the 0211 GW is a lot better to chip and pitch with than the Rogue X AW, which was very "hot" off the face. I find myself using the 0211 GW now for the greenside shots I was using my 52* for.***My GP is 48* as well and I use to have a 52*, 56* and 60*. I changed up my bag about 2 months ago and got rid of the 52* and 56*. So now my wedge grouping is GP 48*, 54* and 60*. This seems to suit my game well.

Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Yeah, it might be the same thing with me, Tony... I'm not missing the 56* either. I went with @chisag's recommendation of 52* bent to 53, and a 58*. So far (early days) I couldn't be happier with the 58* Vokey SM7. The M grind on it works very well for me, it's so easy to open it up when I need to, and it's been great from the bunker. I like it much more than the 56*. I'm not too sure about the 0211 gap wedge though. It seems to play short to it's loft, if that makes sense. I'll wait until the weather warms up and see if that changes. If not I'll see if I can find a 48* LH Vokey somewhere... you know how lucky us lefties are with those type of searches.

Grvng_Bgys Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I’ve been saving up for a few months for a Skytrak. The Rapsodo MLM has been a temptress, especially with the holiday sales that have been available. I’m not sure it has the full functionality I’m seeking though. Winter appears to be upon us in MO. I’ve had a net set up for a while but generally miss many more ways than left and right. I’m hoping this would allow me to hone in on some faults without the need to bang buckets at the range. We recently welcomed our 2nd boy. Time for golf was already a premium with our 1st. I’m hoping this allows me to sneak in rounds and range time during naps. I’m also the stickler on our family’s budget. This has been good to drill in the need to follow our budget and set a good disciplined example of how it can be used for frivolous things too.

Gotta say when the fitter handed me a Mizuno wedge I just was not interested but it was a fitting I paid for so I tried it and glad I did. No need to change my 52* since my Vokey was as good as any of the wedges I hit but the Mizuno 58* was a clear winner for me.

Like you, it’ll take something pretty, pretty, pretty good, to take my Vokeys out. I've been playing Callaway wedges for years. I just switched to the Vokey SM7's a few weeks ago. They are really good. I have a 52F and a 58M and love them both. I mentioned in one of these threads that I'm noticing my 0211 gap wedge is playing short relative to loft (48*). I'm not getting the gapping I really want between it and the 52(even after bending it to 53) so I ordered a 54F last night through my pro shop. I had $200 left in pro shop credit from our Tuesday members league that I have to use up by years end, so I figured why not? If the 54-58 setup works better, The 52F isn't going anywhere. I'll put it in my 2nd bag with the Rogue X irons. It will fit in perfectly behind that set's AW. ***Please check out my post below this one. I'd love your input*** Edited December 6, 2020 by Grand Stranded Golfspy_CG2 and sirchunksalot 2 Quote Driver: G425 Max 10.5* Fairway: Stealth 3HL & 7W Hybrids: Stealth 22* & 25* Irons: JPX 923 HM 6-AW Wedges: Tour Issue Glide 4.0 54-12 Tour Issue Glide 4.0 58-10 Putter: ER7 34” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Stranded Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Thinking about a ball change.... I have a question for any of you who know about ball fitting (if that's even a term?) Let me start by saying I've never been fit for a driver, and my G400 Max has the stock Alta in regular flex. I'm 66 years old, and my driver SS is about 90mph, 7 iron is my 140 club (playing at or below sea level). I've had two very good players tell me in the last week or so that I'm getting too much spin with my driver. I'm hitting it as good as I can right now, but even my centered shots seem to take off on what looks like a perfect trajectory, then seemingly drop straight down with little roll out. My best drives seem to end up about 210-220, and I always felt that was about what I should be getting with my swing speed but I'm being told I should be getting more. Any advice on whether a ball change might help (I've played the Srixon Q Star the last two years) would be appreciated. If it turns out it isn't something a new ball will fix, and that a shaft change is the answer, I'll just have to suck it up until the spring when the new Callaway and Ping drivers come out and THIS TIME I will get fitted for the best match of all the '21 drivers.

Rickp Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Here’s 2 charts that I found a while ago. My swing speed is around 80-82 and right now 200-215 seems to be normal. It’s work in progress at the moment.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Grand Stranded, sirchunksalot and Kenny B 3 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I looked at the numbers for 90 mph swing speed it matched my yardages perfectly with every club EXCEPT the driver. I'm losing 15-20 yards somewhere... This chart seems to confirm something is going on, but now I'm starting to think it's the shaft, and maybe a new ball won't the answer? Or could it?

If you’re missing 15-20 yards using a Q star, I’d start looking at a shaft fitting. Do you happen to know your launch data? Launch angle, and backspin and side spin numbers would help you know definitively if it’s your shaft. If all your other clubs are in the appropriate yardage windows I doubt you have a serious delivery/swing issue, and doubt that switching balls would close a 15 yard gap. But if you have a PGA tour superstore in your neck of the woods, they do free ball fittings.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy sirchunksalot, Rickp and Grand Stranded 3 Quote Driver - Cobra LtDxLS 3 Wood - Ping g410 LST 2iron - Titleist U505 Irons - Ping i59 Wedges - Vokey Sm9 Putter - Mizuno Mcraft IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your swing speed is about 5 mph faster than my average , i csn get 88-90 on occasion but for the most part im living in the 84-85 neighborhood. Side note, I was at 90 2 years ago and hadn’t realized i dripped that much until my Titleist Thursday fitting. Your description of yours drives is exactly what my drives were doing with my TS1 and Fubuki Sr shaft. It was a high spin head. I believe the Max is in the same category high spin, designed to help get the ball in the air. Obviously a fitting is the best way to go, to see exactly what is happening in your swing, delivery at impact and ball flight. You mention balls. You might want to try a sleeve of the AVX. It is the lowest spinning of Titleist’s premium line. Good luck, i am getting a few less yards than you out of the driver. So I know what it feels like to think there has to be a few more yards out there. sirchunksalot, Grand Stranded and Rickp 3 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
