Anyone else read that in a long island accent?
Straight Muggin' after a great round with a bag filled with awesomeness, all while repping the swaggerific apparel! The VLine was a lifesaver this morning.

You gotta be close to having that kid, right?
Is that your MikeG game face?

Phil those two days on that course taught me a lot about my game. One thing I learned I can put under pressure. I might have missed some longer putts, but I drained all the come back putts and didn't miss one in two days.
I miss this team and our time together. Life might be crappy at times, but I open this thread and I can't help but smile.
Now excuse me while I go have a shot of Patron!
Its not babbling, its great stuff and fun to read. I remember being over in the short game area and looked over at the group of guys getting their club fitting and saw the guy on the end just blistering iron shots. I said to JB, "whos that on the end?" and he says thats ddec. I wasnt surprised that it was you, i was more surprised that it was one of us 12 that was up there hitting crisp iron shots and not someone like finley or harry haha To say you were hitting your irons well is an understatement.Was listening to a Callaway Podcast yesterday that featured Hank Haney. The topic that struck me was when Hank was talking about fitting and the utilization of Trackman. It immediately gave me flashbacks to my fitting at ECPC.
Haney said that the ball flight tells the story, so look at your trajectory and shot shape, and if you like it, go with it. Golf is what the ball does. It's exactly how we approached my fitting, and I loved that. I'm not a huge numbers guy, yes I know my numbers, but I'm not chasing those magical launch and spin numbers. My fitter was the perfect match for me as we did majority of my fitting away from trackman.
We started off with irons, I told him I preferred to be in graphite. Right off the bat, that limited my options. We started with the stock recoil shaft. After hitting them well, my iron swing was really good that morning, we saw some misses a little left, pull draws, or hooks. We then went to a heavier option, and it was down to the Recoil 110 and the Steelfiber 95. Based on flight alone, again no numbers, the steelfiber was the clear winner. Shots were straight with a touch of draw, and at one point we rattled off 7-8 swings where the flight was nearly identical. It was a great feeling. Jumped over to trackman to confirm everything checked out, and sure enough that's what we ended up going with. We did toy around with the Apex Pro irons, which he recommended to me based on my swings, but I opted for more forgiveness because I knew my iron swing was really good that day. Let's face it, it's not always good.
Similar process with the driver. GBB head, grabbed a few shafts. By the end of it, swing was getting tired. I was fortunate of being fit at Callaway during GBB Week in August, so we used some of that info to go off of. That fitting put me in a Fubuki shaft, which I told me Grandaddy fitter I liked, but what a touch heavier. The most consistent flight came from the Speeder 565. I know it's not the exotic option that gets people all sorts of excited, but hell it worked really well. We jumped to a few other options, but the 565 was the winner. Confirmed numbers on trackman, and they were similar to what I saw with the Fubuki, however it felt better to me.
The other clubs went quick, and by quick I mean very limited swings. I never swung a 3 wood, just knew what I was going with based on my homepage review of the 816. Did hit the heavenwood, and we ended up stock there -1°. Took 5-7 swings with the Apex hybrid, which Chuck recommended based on the internal weight structure and my swing. I hand picked the shaft for that one as I love the UST VTS Silver hybrid shaft. I threw a Divine 9 in the bag too because I had an extra spot. Probably should have gone with the Mini Driver, but at the end of the week the bag configuration was really good for the course. 3 wood and D9 got very little usage.
Anyway, this is just babbling, but it was Haney's podcast that gave me a great flashback to it. No chasing numbers, look at the flight, and confirm with the numbers. For me, that was perfect. For those who enjoy numbers, it might not have been as good a session. Either way, it rocked.

haha you and me both. The best drives i hit that day were with the XR 16 Proused up all the good swings on them. By time the longer clubs came, the swing felt like I played 72 holes haha Until I found the XR16 Driver that is. Should have stole that thing.
He's a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad man.
