    Driver alignment aid - doesn't make sense?

    I was hoping I could get some opinions on this. I have an X2 hot driver which has the normal callaway V alignment aid. I know some like these and some don't. The issue for me is that it doesn't seem to make sense. The aid is right over the sweet spot (I guess) laterally. But for me this would...

    Temperature and yardage

    I was wondering how people adust for temperature, in a similar way to allowing for wind strength and direction. I played today and it was around 40 to 45F, and I was allowing a good half to 3/4 club more than summer where it will be mid 70s. Wondered if that sounds about right. The air felt...

    Hi there i was wondering if anyone has found a good solution to this. im 56 and my eyesight has always been pretty good. With time however, I have found it harder to focus on objects close up, so have to use basic reading glasses. In the past this wasn't too bad as I only needed them mainly at...

    Swing weights

    Hi. As I'm sure this has been requested before, please could someone point me towards an article or discussion explaining swing weights. I don't understand if it's really simple, or more subtle. E.g. does it normally relate to the shaft or the club or could be either etc. Many thanks
