What are your thoughts on this statement?
I think it has some merit, although leaving out the huge variable named perception.
Edit: I should clarify that I'm not talking about getting fit, per se, but about those clubs that just work for you, regardless of how they ended up in your bag.
I have ordered and received a set of Pinhawk SL iron heads from Value Golf, which I intend to have built to my current 7i length. I’ll use thread to document my results, but not the actual building process since I will be working with my club builder and he will be doing the assembly and...
I'm no club design expert by any means, but I have looked into this a lot and find that what I have read seems to be true based on my testing.
It seems like, from what I have read here, and other places online, that having a very high MOI puts some amount of draw bias into a driver. And, again...
First off let me say that I have no issue with what others get paid. If pros can get paid big money by companies to rep their equipment, then I think that's great. And obviously they all want to win every tournament they are in. I can't help but wonder, however, if they keep the same drive to...
My first birdie was at Electra GC, in Electra TX (a goat track). It was on the first hole, a ~300 yd par 4. I finally listened to my dad and hit his 2i off the tee instead of driver, found the fairway, hit PW to around 10', and made the putt, obviously.
My first eagle was a year later at...
Lets say its fairly straight, between 270 and 300, not too much trouble, but a really wayward drive could cost you. What is your most likely play?
Are you more likely to play to a number to set up the next shot? Or do you get greedy and try to knock it on, or as close as possible?
I will...
I haven't yet, but have been a few inches off several times. The last was in Iowa this year at Coldwater. 104 out with a wedge, ball mark just a few inches from the cup.

My first ever, official, round of golf was at Shepard AFB in Wichita Falls TX. I hacked my way to a 127. What was yours?

Only to find you couldn’t stay away?
I have done this several times, but something always brought me back. Usually it would be good shot, or hole, or “discovering something that worked for my swing.
The last time ('96) it was discovering single-axis golf, and Moe Norman--revealed to me there...
Also known as "jointly developed" shafts.
Just like many others I have often viewed these shafts as cheap versions of the "real deal" shafts that were designed with cheaper materials for a certain price point, and basing the marketing on the name. Maybe that has been true in some cases, but in...
I have seen pictures of them, and the back is covered with tape (embargo's and all that I'm sure), but they look to be some sort of King CB's. I'm hoping these will be a release not just a one off for him only.
Is it wrong to have them pick up on a hole vs. just topping ball after ball when the course is pretty full?
I’m talking about people who were playing with me because they wanted to take up the game now. Not people I may have been paired up that were obviously new to the game because I would...
Have you ever been a little too hasty, or generous, to let a group play through and then really regretted it?
That has happened to me a few times when playing with beginners and such. Most recently, a threesome caught up to my son,gf, and I , and sincethey were just starting out, I asked the...
Since it is all but impossible for me to try single length irons right now I can't help but wonder how adjusting my current irons to only be .25" between clubs instead of the normal .5" would work.
Has anyone ever done anything similar?

The thread about finding vs buying made me think of this and I didn't want to go OT, as I often do.
My dad taught me not to pick up balls that I came across on the course unless I found some while retrieving mine out of a water hazard, or in the OB deep grass, etc. If the ball was in the...
I have said this before, but it bears repeating that Freddie's tips and advice have helped me immensely to improve hitting down and through the ball. I have honestly holed shots from 40, 60, and 110 yds working on the things he has suggested.
Now I'm wondering is it possible to hang on too...
Like the birdie streak thread, this is how many rounds in row can you not hit a single ball OB, lost, unplayable, etc off the tee.
I'm up to six rounds now without hitting a single ball out of play off the tee.

The bag as it sits now. Probably the only changes that will come in the near future are a few more wedges and a different hybrid.
Vapor pro at 8.5 w/ Grandura 550 S
Titleist 915f at 16.5 (B4) w/ Rogue 80 black S
Cleveland Altitude 3h w/ c.kua
Callaway XR Pro w/XP 105 (S300)

I have talked to several fitters about wedges and how they should be set up to fit in with the set and the answers were pretty much all over the place. Some say a wedge shaft should be heavier that the iron shafts and a softer flex. Others say it should be heavier and stiffer flex. I have even...
