A little background on my playing history, I started playing at 15 and played almost weekly into my late twenties. Consistently shot low 80's and then life happens. Kids get older, baseball, dance recitals, etc. Started playing consistently again around 10 yrs ago. It has been a struggle. I...
I had always enjoyed the Cleveland Mashie hybrids. So much so that when I started playing regularly again I quickly scoured the earth for the M2-M5's to go back into my bag. I like the draw bias, weight, and the shafts are excellent. My irons are Srixon ZX5 MKII's so my bag isn't completely in...
As long as I can remember I have always used a grip that leans to the strong side. My driver grip is actually what they call a double strong grip. I could always hit with plenty of power and it would be either straight or slightly left (I’m a righty). The key to this grip for me has always been...
I like the older 2021 and under Bridgestone e6 ball. It plays well with my game and it has a great price point for the quality in my opinion. I will probably hit these until dealer outlets run out of stock. The new 2023 e6 is a soft ball which I can only guess is similar to the Callaway Chrome...
Irons have 5 rounds and probably a dozen practice sessions. Excellent shape. Golf Pride Z grips, Modus 120g Stiff shafts. Standard lie and length. ZX5's are lofted to ZX4 specs. I currently play a complete set of ZX5 MKII's and love them. I could not get use to the ZX4's. They hit long but just...
I was having a difficult time on the tee box. I had changed drivers and although i tried several brands I felt like I settled for the lessor of the evils. Of course it wasn't the club. It was me. It seemed no matter what I did I just couldn't become consistent. I would move the ball forward and...
So after an entire year of playing with my new set of irons, hybrids and driver, I have come to the conclusion that I need regular flex shafts instead of stiff. I have recently replaced my driver with a regular flex Cleveland XL 270 which I love. I was going to possibly get new irons this summer...
My sons and I played a round at Magnolia Grove on The Falls course this past Saturday. Tanner, my oldest, hits a drive and lands next to the woods on the right side of the fairway. I take my 5 iron and proceed to walk into the fairway to hit my next shot leaving Tanner with the cart up by the...
We have three kids. One daughter and two sons. Daughter is the oldest. She leaves for college next month and its just gut renching to me. I think my wife is coping better than I am. She has a good head on her shoulders but its a damn cruel world out there. Anyone else go through this? How did...
Well, I had my second lesson yesterday. First one was about 10 days ago. Since my first lesson, I have found my driver swing thanks to using a strong/strong grip. My iron grip has also changed to a strong/neutral grip. So the new grips, along with his tips for staying on plain have shown drastic...
Well, guys and gals, I need some suggestions to complete the last spot in my bag. The clubs I have in my bag are as follows:
Driver- 9.5
Mashie M2 18* (Corrected)
4i- 21* thru GW- 50*
SW- 54*
LW- 58*
Putter
I was thinking of the following clubs:
3 wood
M3 Mashie
M4 Mashie
Your thoughts?
Thanks
When my bag was under construction a few weeks back I entered a WTB thread here for a few Cleveland wedges. I knew they were good and although I realized the black pearl would wear to some degree I wanted them.
Thainer then replied that there was a sale on Nike VR Forged wedges at a few places...
Actually ordered the V3 from an advertised vendor here and the order never shipped after 3 weeks. Nightmare of a purchase experience. I need to fill the gap in my bag with one of the two listed.
Thanks
I am standing on the 18th tee box right beside my 13 yr old son. We had a great time all day. The 18th fairway runs beside the 10th but in opposite directions. We are getting ready to tee off and a cart dashes from the 10th fairway across the 18th and stops. A guy gets out and hits his ball out...
I played a round today with my 15 yr old son. I thought it would be a nice change of pace to walk this time. Good exercise right? Well we both have stand bags so we carried them the whole way. I have been contemplating getting a push cart just for the exercise a few times a month.
We started and...
