Settling in a bit with the pros in the second round with them. They're in that sweet spot I like in an iron - there's enough forgiveness where I don't feel scared pulling a 5i, but they have a predictable flight/spin profile. They remind me a lot of the i series irons I've played in the past...
Long time coming, but maiden voyage with the Apex Pros today. First few swings were pretty rough, but they were right after an hour long car ride and straight to the tee, but settled in nicely. I much preferred these to the '21 Apex Pros from a feel perspective - they felt much more solid...
First time out for the year and first time with the Darts in the bag. I'd played the Recoil 110 in the past, and it was nice to get back to having them in the bag. I forgot how much I liked the vibration dampening you get with graphite. One of the things I love about the shafts otherwise is just...
The answer should be something like the Launcher XLs - I played a stupid good round with the Altitudes and once of their successors, but more likely it would be something like the AI Smoke or G430 on account of the ego.
Been away from Callaway irons for the last couple years - had the Apex 21 but the shaft wasn't a great fit for me - but the combination of picking up some speed after getting back to strength training and healing up from a long-term injury, as well as age taking its toll on my joints had me...
Very true - in fact, two of the most fun courses in the Boston area are munis - and I've seen plenty of people use muni as a derogratory term when talking about courses.
Stowe Country Club is always in great shape, and is a fun layout - especially if you like fast greens. Ryder Brook, right down the street in Morrisville is a 9-holer that has some fun holes and great views from the higher elevations, though it's not exactly a destination course. But it's super...
It really depends on the round. I'm not going to have a drink during most of my usual rounds.
But if it's a "for fun" event, or if there's some sort of must-have drink (looking at you, blueberry lemonades), I'll have a couple over the course of four hours.
I had a set of the copper finish irons they had - they looked awesome, but it was clear the PVD wasn't going to last particularly long. It got to the point that I was debating whether I should hit them off of mats in the offseason for practice, so moved them for close to what I paid for them...
I play a lighter flex in the majority of my clubs than my swing speed would indicate - I just don't like the feeling of a club being really stiff feeling. A few years ago I got fit for a driver that was probably close to 2 flexes down from what I was playing - my speed's picked up since then and...
For me it's seeing a consistent miss, specifically when I'm practicing. On course - that's understandable because I'm seeing different putts every time, hitting shots in between, and all that.
But if I'm missing consistently when I'm in a groove practicing on flat surfaces - I start to wonder...
There's a whole other discussion about courses that do the bare minimum, and don't actually put the forward tees where they should on the course so that someone driving the ball that distance is playing a similar hole.
I play a lot with my wife - and we're lucky that our course has a large...
