Distance is obviously based on speed and strike. The guys you see on YouTube are most likely pros with 7i swing speeds around 92mph where your 7i swing speed is going to be around 82mph with a 155 carry. 155 carry is around average I'd say maybe slightly above.

Cheers everyone. I've not had a lesson but have been working hard this week to sort things out one way or another. On Wednesday I played 9 and dropped the ball back in my stance a couple of inches and it made a big difference to my game and I knocked it round well. So confidence went up...

Thanks for the replys. Bobmac I think you are correct about me not continuing to turn through impact. I can almost feel myself stall and throw my hands at it. My weight is hanging back too. Could ball position being too far forward be an issue too?

Yes I could easily get a quick lesson in with the pro before Saturday.

I'm in a right mess at the moment with my game mentally. I am at rock bottom confidence wise with my game and I am struggling with a big pull draw with all club's which turns to a snap hook with driver. I've got our club champs this weekend 36 holes over two days. I played in the monthly medal...

Wow, that's some divot!

I have seen 'Island Green' clothing being sold by golfbase I think. It looks pretty good and a guy I played with a few weeks ago had a pullover on by them and it looked good, perhaps slightly more stylish than your typical nike, fj, Callaway etc. It's much cheaper too. Anyone with any experience...

I don't notice much discolouration that people mention. The odd yellow mark maybe but nothing out the ordinary. Changing bags last week and pulled a Pro plus out I had played a full 18 with the week before and apart from the odd scuff, the colour was the same as the new ones.

I have been using the Pro plus since last summer and played the tour through winter. The Pro plus is in a different league to the tour. The Pro plus is easily a match to other premium balls I've played. The tour was an OK winter ball but felt too hard for my liking in summer. I have just placed...

I get where your coming from Bob but you could argue that they all do something different and no two are the same.

What do you think of unothodox styles? Do you see many on the course and if so what and do they work the same or better than more orthodox styles? The most obvious unothodox style tour is Bryson Dechambeau and his outlook on the golf swing and differing style to the norm seems to work for him...

How do you rate Hearsall against CGC Fish? I've played Hearsall about 5 times due to knowing a member there but have never played CGC. I do like Hearsall though so if CGC is better it's a must play for me when the weather gets better.

Yes I have a cure. The same issue has plagued me for the best part of two years and I have recently found the cure. Keep your right heel down through impact. Absolute game changer for me.

I feel your pain. I have tried everything and one thing that has transformed my shanks is keeping my right heel down through impact.

On the strength of this thread I too bought an RX3 off eBay during the 20% off period and paid £89 for it. Well it is big and ugly but it does roll the ball well and after only the second time on course, I've just had a PB round off our back tees which included 4 birdies and they mainly came...
