Had a driver fitting at lunch, tries the TM QI 4D, the Callaway triple diamond, and the new Ping, while all their number were a significan jump from Titleist Tsi2, Found the Ping to dead off the face with 0 feedback, and the Callaway to hot off the face. The TM numbers were insane, club head...

yeah it's weird isn't it, somethings we do completely naturally no thought, but stick a golf club in our hands and suddenly we try and think about every aspect of what we're doing. As an experiment I have started to putt with an open stance to mimic rolling a ball with my hand as much as...

I mean yes obviously there are variables, but that would be the same as any putting stroke or style we can't know the variable speeds until we hit it. The idea is the unconscious brain is far better at doing these calculations than our conscious brain. He also did teach that this theory means...

I read a book that taught this idea. The author put it as, when we jump across a stream, our mind calculates the distance and effort perfectly, we always land, just on the other side, if it's 0.5m or 1m the brain calculates and gives us exactly the amount of power we require to just get over...

got mine out on the range for the first time. mixed bag for me, not the TRS's fault, just retraining by swing, which is very armsy. When it did go well, with the sliders help, like a revelation, just rotating through the ball no effort and the ball flying off into the distance. Will keep...

Finally actually got out onto the course, greens were soft so obviously that helps. But yeah it checks up like crazy, chipping from the fringe or apron, about half as much run out, little pitches, stop almost dead, one bounce stop

When I did GCSE PE, we did a section on the yips. Fascinating stuff. When it goes right, sporting action is done almost entirely by the subconscious, the yips happen when out conscious mind takes over, trying to consciously control our movements, then they become less coordinated and out of sync

I was also very sceptical, as someone really into their racket sports, but think paddle is really going to stay. It's far easier than the other sports, you can pick it up to a standard you can play a decent game within an hour. Whereas tennis you need to get a decent standard before you can even...

Kind of but not absolutely, they try to avoid bunching, so front 9 will usually have SIs that are odd, and back nine evens. So if the 4 hardest holes on the course are on the front 9, they would have SI 1,3,5,&7 even though harder to play that 2,3,&6 on the back nine they would have higher SIs...

It arrived today, will give a review once we get a break in the weather

smithworks 60 degree lob wedge, the non conforming one, just to have some fun

welcome, and good luck with coming back agree mostly with whats been said, the only addition I have is that if you gave steel shafts, and they have been say somewhere for 20 years, they have probably age hardened, so will likely be quite a bit stiffer than when you bought them. That's not to...

I would recommend a read of the rise and fall and rise of wilson staff very interesting

e very Hogan I've hit has felt lovely, then they go bust, disappear for a few years and then come back. I still rue picking Ping 13s when I was 16 (which were lovely clubs) instead of the Hogans that felt beautiful off the face. But 16 year old me wanted the brand name
