Cheers buddy, played the first 9 then got caught up behind the 'turkey trot' at which point my legs were aching anyway (due to 3 weeks of doing nowt I expect) so was more than happy to walk on in, I'm happy to report that the back was absolutely fine though, bonus, soon be up to speed again I...

As some may remember about 3 weeks ago I managed to put my back out whilst lifting at work, well consequently I've not swing a club now for about 5 weeks so at 11am today I'm off for a knock about just to see how things are, wish me luck !... :thup:

50°...:thup:

What are the irons, the 5 wood and the 3h will produce pretty much the same result, would have been better off with a 3 wood really, matters not though, at least you've got something to work with for now... :thup:

Man after my own heart, nothing worse than standing around waiting, luckily when I play in a group they're all usually quite quick, never found myself in a slow group yet...

No, hybrids are hybrids, some people mistakenly call'em woods, 3-woods are generally 14-16°, 3-hybrids are generally 17-19°, 4-hybrids are generally 20-22°, all depends on the manufacturers interpretation...

Most will hit the 5 wood better than the 5i off of the fairways, can't vouch for everyone though, t'is something you're gonna have to discover for yourself... :thup:

Thanks for all the well wishes chaps, actually managed to spend a full night in bed last night without having to get up, been splitting sleep between the bed and sitting upright on the sofa although it's been more sofa than bed for the last 10 days, top that with having to get up and walk around...

Crickey, and you're only 30 you say !...

Thanks for the wishes buddy, this is the first real hit I've taken so far where back injuries are concerned but as I said in the above post I seem to be wearing out real fast these days, one thing I will say is I'll not be lifting anything more substantial than a cold beer from now on, don't see...

I'm at the other end of the spectrum to you then, years of hard graft out in all weathers winter/spring/summer and fall 6 and sometimes 7 days a week, I'm lifting heavy cutting units etc on a regular basis, I'm a green keeper by trade (I was an agricultural tyre fitter in my previous job) I get...

A week ago Friday I was at work lifting some reasonably heavy mats about (with a work mate, not on my own) when a sudden twang announced the arrival of lower back spasms and the immediate inability to do anything other than hobble about like an old man... They say an active working life helps...

Very much depends on how well you hit them, I don't use a driver much preferring my 3-wood and on an average day I'll get somewhere between 225 and 250yds out of her (allowing for wind etc) on a good day (wind behind etc) I'll get more... Never used a 5-wood 'well' not in anger anyway although...

All I can say on the subject is I had a set of 'Speedblades' with 'XP95 regular' shafts in, standard length/lie etc which I couldn't hit for the life of me, all over the place they were, I now own a set of 'King Cobra 3100i/h' irons with 'Nippon NS Pro 1030h' shafts in which a also regular flex...

Apparently it's nothing to do with shaft technology 'apparently' it's all to do with our poor swing issues, if this is the case then personally I just don't understand why shaft manufacturers bother going to all the trouble of manufacturing different shafts for different swing speeds etc when...
