Rickp Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Rick. I believe I should qualify this by saying. Not all 85 mph swing speeds are the same. So much more in the swing such as your transition from the top to beginning the down swing and such. That said. I think averaged 85 mph on my drivers this week at TXG and was ultimateky fit into a Regular flex. If it's possible I would get to a good fitter and see what he has to say.

ole gray Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Somehow we got 18 holes in. Windy and rain squalls for most of the morning. I had 41-42=83 pretty good for conditions. Played ProV1. Dragged out the SC200 LM. Entire 4-some early 70's years old. Swing Speeds on hole #2 went from 78 to 86. Mine was 85 smash factor 1.47. Now gotta figure out what this means and how we can use it to improve. One of my thoughts is should I be using Senior shafts? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy My fitter at Club Champion put me in a stiff flex which I was surprised at. He said my transition was strong so a stiff shaft would help me. He was right because my driving is pretty darn good right now.

He was right because my driving is pretty darn good right now. This is why fitting matters. I have a high swing speed but smooth tempo and transition so I fit into an X but not what a chart would tell me. I played the AD DI 7x in my Epic SZ for a year and had a right miss that would pop up at least once a round. Went to the AD TP 6x this year and have been driving it great the last few weeks after some swing flaws got fixed. I can move the ball both ways and flight it up or down at will. Heck I missed one fairway in my last two rounds combined. Sluggo42, Rickp, JAGolfore and 3 others 6 Quote WITB 2024 Driver: Qi10 LS 9* Ltd.

Sluggo42 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Shot good, a 1-under 69. (White tees tho) Had back to back birds again today, like yesterday. Narrowly missed the bird on the holes befor and after too, so I came close to 3 birds in a row. That's my new goal now...

yungkory Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I played out of my mind today during our after-work 9 holes and shot -1 with 4 birdies (started with a double). Hadn't played for a week and a half because I got sick, but I was practicing with my putting mirror while I was at home. Today, I made 2 birdie putts from about 18 feet, maybe even longer, which was nice to see. It's an easy muni and pretty short, but at the end of the day you still have to make the shots and rolls the putts, and I did those things chisag, PING Apologist #9 and MattF 3 Quote Driver: Rogue ST Max LS Tensei AV Blue S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: RTX Zipcore Tour Rack 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: LAB Link.1 Ball: Z-Star Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TR1PTIK Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Shot 81 Wednesday while doing some driver testing and it didn't even feel like I was trying (I've only broke 80 once before). Short game was off quite a bit, but my approaches were solid. My ball striking has taken a huge leap forward recently. Looking forward to Saturday with some buddies.

null Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 First round in over a month and the swing did not translate from range earlier this week. Struggled off the tee and struggled getting the speed of the greens on long putts. Yet somehow I managed an 83. Iron striking was pretty good and wedge game was phenomenal. The D Grind saved me at least 3 strokes today. Big fan of the D. chisag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozcycle Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 so, I received my Cobra Connect Challenge golf bag on Wednesday, and after carefully loading it with my new Cobra F8 clubs, I decided to put my Ben Hogan PTx irons & Tkt wedges in my old bag. Then, I added a Cobra King Driver, Bombtech # Wood & 4 Hybrid. Finally I threw in my Bellum-Winmore putter and walls! I now had a third full set, bag and all. Then I decided to low tech it today and give my Cobra F8's and Arcoss a rest. So I shot 45/47:92 with one birdie today. It was fun trying to figure out yardages using the Hogans(have not played them since January) and no Arcoss. Tomorrow, I debut the Cobra F8's, bag & all at my club. The four rounds I have on them were in Gatlinburg on vacation. I sure hope they will be ready for me..... chisag, cksurfdude, StrokerAce and 1 other 4 Quote Driver: 0311 XF 10.5* w/Project X Cypher 40 gram Senior shaft or 0811 XF 12* w/Evenflo Riptide CB Senior shaft Fairways: 0211 5W & 7W w/ Evenflo Riptide CB regular shaft and Tour Edge E521 9W w/Fubuki HD50 regular shaft Hybrid: None in bag at the moment Irons: Titleist T300 5-PW w/Fubuki MV Senior graphite shafts w/Golf Pride Tour Wedges: Edison forged 49*, 53* and 57* wedges with KB PGI Senior shafts(80 grm).

perseveringgolfer Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Played 3rd qual round club championship- long game is good, chipping is better than before but putting!!! when putting for birdie from 5 feet, its 2 putts, from further its 3 putts or hole a 3 footer for par 37 putts today which included five x 3 putts. 8 bogies and 2 double bogies with 3 birdies for a 79. I could be dangerous if I could putt. 86% of putts come up short (shot scope) and approach shots are not close enough (shot scope analysis again). I think I need to get a mini spider mallet or 2 ball putter- blade putter is killing me from all distances (yes I know its the Indian not the arrow) but putting is 85% mental imo. cksurfdude, Nunfa0, Kenny B and 1 other 4 Quote Driver Awaiting NEW Driver (after 10 yrs) 4 Wood Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead plus 4+ Callaway shaft in 'Firm' flex Hybrid Titleist 910H 19* Diamana ahina 'flower' shaft in 'S' Irons Mizuno MP18SC 4-PW N.S Pro Modus3 Tour 105 in 'S' Wedges Callaway Mack Daddy forged in black 50* and 54* KBS Tour in 'R' Putter 'YES' Tracy 11 C groove 34.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back wasn't as good and so I ended tied with my best (89), but now I'm already excited for next weekend. Hopefully I can put two 42s together and drop 5 strokes.

Kenny B Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Temperature drop last night; cold and a little rain early this morning with winds 15-20 mph. My hands were cold! However, I birdied the first hole. When I do that I always say "I could break the course record, theoretically." Then 3-putted the second hole. Oh well. That was the only green with bad putting. I drove the ball poorly all day, but I scrambled after my drives. I birdied #11 and #13 but doubled #18. All three birdies were putts over 15 feet. Shot 81.

RoverRick Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I played absolutely horribly today and couldn't be much happier. First, off I have been injured and could not make a full swing. So Friday, I go out and move up a set of tees, and actually play fabulously. The best round I have had in several years. All this was because I was very careful and kept an excellent 3/4 tempo. I shot an easy 76 and didn't make a single putt longer than 3 feet, but had no 3 putts. Saturday, I played again, but this time I sorta got caught up in the "gamesmanship" with another player. We have been sorta challenging each other for 15 years so it's not unusual and quite fun. My full shots were not great, but my putter was so hot. I made, by his count, 10 15-20' putts. And in spite of playing poorly, my putter cut my score to an 84. Now comes Sunday. Putter was cold all day. I mean freezing cold. I had more 3 putts than every round this year put together. On full swings (actually 3/4 swings) I had very weird day. I started out not getting through the ball at all. 1/2 the distance as Saturday for about 6 holes. Also, I flipped the wedges and had horrible shots. I had 2 triples and a quad and the 3 doubles the first 7 holes. Then I started getting through the ball and had 5 good holes, but still not putting well. Then suddenly, I was getting full distance with 3/4 swings and flew the green on 4 of the last 6 holes. Well, the bad news was a 54 on the front and a 42 on the back. So I shot 18 strokes higher on Sunday than Friday, but I'm still very happy. I had no expectations of playing well this week, and since going into Friday I feared I was going to have to have surgery on my shoulder, and I instead I got to play golf. I didn't care what I scored. It was still better than sitting at home "recovering". I was given new medication. Friday, I still had a lot of pain and was much more conservative with my swing. By Sunday afternoon, I had virtually no pain on the back 9 and I fell like I really learned some things this weekend making partial swings that I can use in my full swings, hopefully this week.

Kenny B Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Horrible, disgusting day today!!! Cold weather moved in for the weekend, and wind and some rain with it. Not rainy today, but the wind picked up to 25-35mph. Couldn't stay warm. Shot 87 with two birdies and 5 doubles. I'm still not driving the ball to my usual normal. I was in a record (for me) 5 bunkers today, but none of my 5 doubles came from being in a bunker. I made 2 pars and 3 bogies from them.

Peaksy68 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Another round of wasted opportunities. Started with a very soft double after an awful layup. Got things back together and was playing ok, only to finish really poorly. Bogeyed the last 3, one 3 putt, one missed putt from 3 feet, one missed green after a great drive left me 120 out. Finished 8 over when it should have been much better. cksurfdude, MattF and Rickp 3 Quote 849 Pro Evenflow Riptide 6.0 F8 3 & 5 Woods Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 TS2 7 Wood Project X Evenflow Blue 6.0 MP18 MMC - Project X LZ 5.5 Zipcore Wedges 50,54,58 - Project X LZ 5.5 MLA Tour Mallet 33" Z Star Pioneer bag buggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
