    TaylorMade RBZ bonded driver

    I haven't seen this discussed in any other thread, so here goes. TaylorMade is coming out with a bonded version of the RBZ driver. Bonded means there is no shaft adjustability. You have to stick with the loft and face angle you buy it with. They are pricing it fifty bucks less than the already...

    Who sleeps with their smartphone, within reach?

    I used to do this. Not just my phone, but my tablet also used to be on the nightstand beside my pillow. Check email, news, and THP from bed. How convenient! Not anymore. I moved the chragers downstairs. I plug them in and leave them there before going to bed. A major improvement in the quality...

    Gamma's lessons journal

    I have been playing golf for three+ years now, but never got better than the 95-105 range, and if it is a course I am unfamiliar with, it is 110+. My initial lessons came from a community college course, and while it was good enough to get me on the course, that was about it. So, when my...

    Slice, but only on one shot?

    My natural shot shape is now a draw and my misses are hooks. Especially with my 3 hybrid, I just cannot get it to go right. It will reliably curve left and give me good distance, and it has become my go to club. Except for one shot. There is this one dogleg left hole, with water right at the...

    Driver swing. Take two..

    First of all, thanks for the great advice from Robert the last time I posted my driver swing. I was told to lower the shaft at setup and to improve my grip. I did both and saw a big improvement in ball striking. I am more consistent with my driver now. Thanks again. Here is my current swing. I...

    My Driver Swing. What are the two things I should work on?

    I am sure there are several things wrong with my swing. I have been working on my balance recently, but I am not quite there yet. Anyways, please take a look and tell me the most important two errors I should work on. Thanks in advance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB3-QRyhLjo...

    nytimes: Golf as a Window to the Soul.

    http://onpar.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/28/not-just-a-sport-but-a-window-to-the-soul/ What it really is is good advice for on course behavior. I certainly learned a thing or two on what I should change, (I'd ignore the comments, btw).

    Do you "recoil" on your drives?

    That is, at the end of the follow through, after hitting the driver, do you stop with the driver behind you, or do you recoil and pull it forward? I've heard that the recoil indicates higher club-head speed at impact. If it is true, I would like to incorporate it into my swing.

    How to practice for better up and downs?

    I have been keeping track of how many strokes it takes me once I am within 50yrds of the hole. If I get on the green from farther than 50yds, I just add one to the number of putts for that hole. Actual up&downs have been rare, and my average is actually closer to 3.5, which obviously is very...

    Head thieves

    Because anti-theft devices are usually attached to the shafts, thieves are stealing clubheads from golf stores. http://www.centredaily.com/2011/03/03/2557772/thieves-stealing-expensive-golf.html

    Club cleaning. How often, and how much effort do you put into it?

    Other than wiping them down during the round, I mean. I just realized I've been putting it off for a while and it is time to give my clubs some TLC, hence the question.

    Consistent contact with wedges.

    My starter set did not really have wedges worth talking about. So, I just got myself a new set of wedges. The work great when I hit them right, but I m having trouble making consistent contact, I have had the gap wedge hitting the ball too high and falling short, and the lob wedge hitting it...

    Direction accuracy with the short irons.

    Hi, except for occassional mishits, I believe I have reached a point where my ball striking with the short irons is reasonable. My distances are consistent, but not the line. With a 100 yd short with a PW, for example, my ball lands upto +/-5yrds on either side of where I am aiming. I am...
