...results with my gamer I was working way too hard - basically I was holding off the face by "chicken winging" my left arm. My attack angle was 9* in to out and yet I was launching at 8.5* due to a turned down face at impact. Lots of effort to keep the ball straight.
Once we realized this and...
Anybody using their Apple watch for gps purposes? What apps have you tried/liked?
I'm a laser guy myself, but the wife wants to get the apple watch and doesn't want to wear both that and her GPS watch while playing.

I'm just going to say it... what is your damn hurry?! I play close to 100 rounds per year and can count on 1 hand the number of time a round takes longer than 4:15, but I'm being pushed around the course on 25-35 of those rounds. I am SICK OF IT!!!!
Golf is a leisure activity. An 18 hole...
...remedy this, not by changing my motion, but through a lie angle change. After hitting the standard 7 iron left 5-6 times in a row, I grabbed a 2* flat iron with the same XP115 stiff shaft in it and ta-da!, straight as a freakin' arrow. I mean I painted the center line with roughly 175 carry...
So, on Saturday I had my first hole-in-one! :banana::banana::banana:
It came on the 7th hole at my home course, a par 3 that with the pin in the front was playing 148 yards. I hit a 9 iron that looked really good in the air, but we couldn't see the cup itself, so had to wait until we got up to...
After countless failures to find a hybrid I can hit without hooking the bleep out of it, I'm leaning toward going back to a 4 iron. Looking for steel stiff, preferably a mid weight shaft like KBS or Nippon 950 but if you've hit one let's talk.
I'm looking for a shaft I could swap out in my R9 Supertri. If it's tipped for TM great, if not, i'll get that done. Not looking to spend a ton of money but let me know what you have. I know there's a million variations. I'm looking for higher launch, low spin (I know - who isn't) and have been...
...and the results were fairly typical. I was pleased to see that as I wanted to know I was having a "normal" swing day. Ball speed 144, launch 9*, side spin mostly low enough to be in play but with one 800 R and one 800 L, backspin over 3000, carry 240.
At this point it was time to start...
I'm down here for a few days and playing each morning around 9am. I've got plans tomorrow but would love some THP company for Tuesday and/or Wednesday? Thinking of playing Magnolia Landing and Palmetto Pines those days, but I'm open to other suggestions.
Guys,
I was at a charity tourney and decided to help the cause by bidding up this driver. Problem was, nobody else in the room wanted to cooperate, so I ended up with a brand new driver that I don't need. Just not ready to give up my Supertri yet. I'm not looking to make money here. I paid...
It's been a while since I've been able to get on here. Work has been insanely busy and I haven't had time to do much more than the very occasional lurking here of late, but I had to jump on today to share the good news.... I've finally bought new irons!!! Well, it took me long enough, right...
My wife and I will be on our annual trip to Ft. Myers Beach during those dates and I'm trying to decide whether or not to bring my clubs. If I'm playing alone I probably won't bother, but if one or more fellow THPers are up for 3-4 rounds during that week I will.
Would like to tee off 7:30-9am...
I posted this in the trying to break 80 thread, but you'll have to pardon me if I'm so excited that I double post and give this news it's own billing. I've been off the course for 5+ hours, and I still can't believe what happened. My previous best was an 80 and I'd only done that once, so to...
I was going to just post this in the Cleveland black irons thread, but realized it's about so much more than just those...
It's so obviously true it seems silly to say this in the form of a question, but are we living through the golden age of golf equipment? Some evidence to support the...
Yesterday I watched the video at the link below which was posted by someone else here on THP. It's about fixing your slice and it works, but that's not the breakthrough...
In the middle somewhere, he says something in passing that really resonated with me and got me wondering. He talks about...
So I got to go through the Bridgestone Ball Fitting yesterday and thanks to luck there was no one waiting to go next so I spent nearly 30 minutes with the guys. They were fantastic to talk with. I thought I knew enough about golf balls having read so much here, but I still learned more...
...continued to be horribly short.
Clubs: Same stuff I've been playing all season. I will say with the driver I did switch it from NU to L (closed the face 1* more) to fight my slice. It was much straighter and trajectory was good, but SHORT.
I don't get it, do you? Any thoughts appreciated!
Okay, it's time for a true THP style "get together" in the North East. Here is my rough sketch plan for this. Just ideas at this point and open to suggestions.
Dates: Sept. 17 & 18
Location: Worcester, MA area

...standard shaft offering. Here's the skinny...
2.0 6 iron - longer than the others, but only 5-8 yards and these had the worst launch angle 14.3* with the 6 iron, widest dispersion (though it wasn't that bad) and greatest length dispersion (20 yards between shortest and longest). Twice I've...
Hopefully there's an expert or two on here who can help me with these....
1. A layer of tape equals how much change in size? 1/16th, 1/32 or something else.
2. I've done my own regripping once putting midsize grips over a single layer of tape; how much harder is it to put a standard grip over...
