    Game improvement or player distance

    Yes I think that's what I will do.

    Game improvement or player distance

    Thank you. They both felt good. Good contacts felt better on the i540s, more crisp, but that happened less consistently. I am leaning towards the g440. I think it will be better for me confidence.

    Game improvement or player distance

    I tried Taylor made, srixon and calloway clubs and those were the two that felt the best and I hit most consistently on the trackman.

    Game improvement or player distance

    Hi guys. Just a bit of advice. I am currently playing off 18-20 but really intend to dedicate my time over the next 6-12 months to improve my game. I have very old clubs, my irons are 18 years old so I went for a fitting and had the choice between ping g440 or i540s. The g440s were more...

    I don't keep a handicap score specifically, I'm just referring to roughly what I go round in. I don't have an official handicap. I'm usually between 18 and 22 over.

    I think you're being too generous! My last round in the rain, I was 22 over, had 6 pars, (3 par 3s, and 3 of the short par 4s) a 9 on a par 5, and 8 on a par 4 and then smatterings of double bogeys and bogeys. But I think your suggestion of recording rounds is a really good one. @bobmac my...

    Poor contact from the 6 iron upwards. Hybrids and 5 wood weirdly better than 5 iron and 6 iron. But in general I don't seem to achieve penetrating flight with any irons, seem to come off high and weak.

    consistently, 7 iron about 130 yards, 6 and 5 irons very inconsistent, 4 hybrid is my most consistent 'long' club, 160-170 yards. I don't really have a consistent 200 yard shot. I am accurate from 130 yards and closer. So I usually par most of the par threes, and the shorter par 4s and par 5s. I...

    You suspect correctly....last round 21 over with a 9 on a par 5! Topped the driver, then topped two consecutive 5 woods before calming down! It was especially frustrating because I usually hit my 5 wood really well...

    Thank you Ian. My long irons and hybrid consistency off the deck is the problem....I have 20 year old irons and putter, I love my putter so that won't be replaced, but I have been advised that the new technology would make a difference, but I am reluctant to invest yet....as you say, keeping the...

    @Springveldt thank you! That's good to hear, it's just all the high level golfers I come across tend to have started playing as children!

    Thank you, yeah I have booked a set of lessons, and I know golf is an inherently frustrating hard game, but I want to also feel that I can achieve something and really improve, not be 6 months down the line with no measureable gains.

    Hi, just joined the forum, 52yrs old pretty fit, and currently play off around 20, my round typically looks like 6-7 pars, and a few blow up holes. I love short game, and rarely 3 putt. My long game isn't great, and struggle with distance. Now my parental responsiblities have eased, I am looking...
