    Srixon 945/ 745

    Not the same model but I still love my Z545's and thats a season in the bag now. Can't fault them except they lack a little feel that the Z745's would have got me for sure.

    Srixon Z575 Driver

    i have it with a RST Mamiya Shaft in. I also have the weights in the head set as 3/3. Overall I get along well with it, in comparison to the Cobra, Titleist, TMR15, JPX850 I compared it against (all used the RST Mamiya shaft so no difference there) it was as long as any of them and dispersion...

    Titleist bag quality!

    Used to be Sun Mountain that made all bags for companies that fell under the Acushnet Group Banner. That was a long, long time ago now so likely to have changed and looks have after a quick rummage on the net. Ignore my ramblings....

    Custom Fit tips and suggestions

    I think and for me at least, it hasn't worked out hugely more expensive than had I bought the latest AP2, Apex Pros, JPX Forged and equivelant woods. It is more expensive but working out prices from club house golf I only paid £150-£250 more for a custom fit set than buying from them. That...

    Custom Fit tips and suggestions

    Its an educated risk we all take surely? And as the lessons for the OP are for the top end of the bag it's unlikely to have a huge effect on the irons. Also as we don't have all the facts and figures from that fitting we can't estimate the huge amount of change that may come. However I can...

    Custom Fit tips and suggestions

    Sounds pretty much identical to my fitting in terms of clubs etc. I loved the srixons from first sight, took a bit of shaft changing (and a lot of balls) to get settled on my PX5.5's. I can relate back to feeling physically exhausted after just sorting the irons out too! Reads like you had a...

    Which would you pick?

    Have hit both Apex Pro and AP2 during fitting. For me the AP2's were nicer overall. I noticed they were a few yards shorter than the Apex Pro though. Dispersion was tighter with AP2's. But to be honest that fitting session was so poor I could have had more from the Apex Pro's. Never hit the...

    What HC would you have if you didn't practice?

    I put 26-28 category. If I didn't practice I would be a high handicapper. that is for sure. I'm not blessed with lots of ability but have a good work ethic and rely on lessons to get me swinging somewhere near correctly!

    Recovery from Injury

    I had my dislocated shoulder operated on 3.5 years ago now. I dont know how similar the operation is ad I am left with 3 permanent pins in the right shoulder. Along with arthritisarthritis (arently quite common result), and restricted movement in all axis on the right shoulder. wasn't playing...

    Custom Fit tips and suggestions

    To that end I wouldn't worry from my personal experience with Scott. When it was clear my swing wasn't right with the driver he called the end of fitting. I did have a 3wood/shaft combo picked and I ordered it there and then. Turns out when we went through the driver / hybrid fitting we...

    Walking the course... with a 5 year old

    I had my 6yo son out on Wednesday night for 5 holes. We tee'd off late. Basically I played the 5 holes as normal and dropped a ball about 50-70yds out in the first cut to let him hit on and putt out. My experience was exactly that of the OP. However I have taught a friends son the same age to...

    Custom Fit tips and suggestions

    My advice and this is having been fit by Scott is this: try not to follow what shaft is being selected. You'll go through loads. Scott will get it right. Just focus on what looks good or not in terms of club design. Full bag is tough going. I ran out of steam after the irons. That took around...

    Are we obsessed with number nowadays?

    We as amateurs who aren't the most skilled at the game shouldn't be worried about the numbers. The results, the lessons to get there and the fun should be in front of worrying about AofA, shaft flex, kick points, how many degrees of loft we use. For example I've had everything custom fitted...
