Recommended Posts

Driver, new putter grip and do I really need a 14th club?

SMT 4 wood bassara R flex, four wood head, 3 wood shaft

Ping G410 7, 9 wood  Alta 65 R flex

Recoil or dg120 would work. Looks, sound and feel of both heads were really good

It’s amazing how a round can derail all based on a thought. Same can be said with equipment I can play just as crappy with the original golf club as my set now guarantee it!

Others have said it, but the mind is a powerful thing.   I have been frustrated with my game over the past couple of months.   Got the opportunity to get with my coach last weekend to work on my swing.   As I have been playing and hitting balls this past week I am seeing progress and balls are being well struck.    Today,  I was just so excited about how well I hit the ball.  It wasn't equipment;  it was practice and learning the swing that really helped move me forward.

I don't know why but something about the MIzuno ST-Z Driver caught my eye.  Maybe it was Keith Mitchell last week who knows but $400 for a driver with some of those shaft upgrades for $0 is Reeeeeaaaallllly tempting...

Don’t tell @Shanksterabiut practice! He’s on fire!

I would say equipment can help you get an edge while your mental can put you over the edge (good or bad edge our choice)

Seems like they’re onto something this year. The TXG boys have been enjoying it and they do have some great stock options. 
 

I also noticed they were pretty much out of stock on mizuno’s site the other day, hopefully because of demand and not just Covid.

I had a driver fitting this past Sunday and the ST-Z just so happened to be my final choice. Everything about it was good for me so I had to buy it. The $400 price tag was definitely a nice touch.

You saved $500! Maybe you should get a new Cobra Putter since you saved so much!

I laugh when I check out at Kohl’s with two tee shirts and a pack of socks and the receipt is like “you saved $78.35 shopping with us today!” Like when was this tee shirt ever not $9.99?

I’m carrying 12.

For me its definitely a product of not hitting the ball as far as I used to and then also finding that since I grew up at a time where there were big gaps between wedges I'm more comfortable, wait for it.... with a big gap between my wedges - simpler is better has become my motto on the bottom end.

 

I did notice that Patrick Reed has a gap with his wedges and only uses two for all of his chipping and pitching.

Bonus!  Which shaft did you end up with?

I went with the Project X HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 60 6.0. It works really well for me at keeping the spin down. I also tried the Fujikura Motore X F3 6 which was not as consistent for me.

It’s amazing how a round can derail all based on a thought. Same can be said with equipment I can play just as crappy with the original golf club as my set now guarantee it!

 

... Yup, let one new swing thought creep into your mind when swinging well but looking to get just a liiiiiitle bit better and the whole thing can fall apart. Crazy game.

I don't know why but something about the MIzuno ST-Z Driver caught my eye.  Maybe it was Keith Mitchell last week who knows but $400 for a driver with some of those shaft upgrades for $0 is Reeeeeaaaallllly tempting...

 

... Easy for me to say because I have never played a Ping driver, but I see so many really good players hit the 400 series so dammed good. One of my biggest personal gripes is the sound but the guy I played with Monday had hot melt in his G400 and it sounded awesome while watching it sail high, far and straight. But I certainly understand the itch...

Sound and feel go together like smell & taste. 
 

When I was fit for my 3wood I took 10 swings with my 400 and I was mid 160’s, low 2’s for spin and that right there told me I was just about maxed. 
 

It was nice validation knowing it’s in its fourth season.

Undersized grips. 

I have small hands to begin with, and the butt diameters of the MMT are slightly larger (.606) than previous shafts I've played. Haven't measured yet, but guessing I'm at least 1/64", if not 1/32", oversized with my .600 round Lamkin Sonars + painter's tape. Been struggling to find a good grip on the club lately, always seems to want to work into my left palm and it feels like I can't close my fingers around the shaft enough.

Looking at Star Sidewinders as I know I could completely eliminate the tape to get the size down as much as possible. Also not terribly expensive, in stock and only six grams lighter. But 14/15 clubs x $7 is still ~$100. Might have to experiment with a few first.
