I use The Claw gloves. Nothing can destroy them!!
Besides, its only in my front pocket while I'm on the putting green, and I don't keep anything else in my front right pocket.
Lie angle was the big eye opener for me when I got fitted. With my swing, I was at 2 degrees up, and the irons I had were 1 down.
Made all the difference in the world when it came to learning how to hit the center of the face consistently.
Front right pocket for me, always has been, no idea why.
I don't like anything in my back pockets when I play for some reason, I guess that's just the psychopath in me?
I've tried replacing them a few times in the last couple of years, but I always seem to go back to them after a few bad rounds with anything new. Old dogs > new tricks
My first driver was a Nickent and I loved that thing! I also had the 4DX hybrid but I gave it away to a friend of a friend who was just starting to learn how to play. He loved it, became his favorite club.
Last round I played with all my "backup clubs", except putter, because I've become too fixated on shooting low scores to get my handicap back to a single digit again.
Broke out the old Titleist driver, 2 old Diablo hybrids and a set of Cleveland Launcher irons along with 54 and 58 degree...
Every year my whole family rents a house for a week on Pensacola beach on Santa Rosa island. A couple of years ago I went and played the Pensacola Muni course as a solo and I get paired up with an older couple, like in their 70's I'm guessing. No problem for me, as I expected to get paired up...
Last week at Quail Hollow GC in Mississippi. Short par 4 over water, thought I could drive the green. Dunked one off the tee. Took a drop at edge of water and hit a 4 hybrid right off the back of the green behind the hole, about 15 feet, bit of a downhill shot onto a recently sanded green...
I think I'm getting a bit more distance since my accuracy has majorly improved, but not like crazy longer. Ball definitely rolls out longer in the short grass compared to the rough though!
Also might be due to getting more comfortable to how it now feels, and having the confidence to swing a bit...
I've used GolfShot as my GPS and round scoring app for the past many years and it keeps all my stats for me.
However, I'm not sure what is considered good vs bad on some of these stats.
Putting for instance - for all of my rounds going back 15 years or so to when I first started I'm at 1.91...
