    Are My Shafts Losing Me Distance?

    Make...?....kick point...?...must be written on them somewhere. Also, the swing weight of these is D5 which t.b.h. if I played with, would be a disaster....

    Par 4 or 5?

    Hmmm?????? I'd rather play the par 5. Yes, I'd play them differently. My game is all about saving bogeys when a par is out of the question. As I wouldn't be able to get on either in two, I'd be playing for a 5 at both. Am I going to be patronised now for admitting this? Truth is this; I'd...

    Where have Macgregor gone ??

    It's a sad day. I've been in mourning for 72 hours. I'm also picking up odds and ends (455s 565s, 675s, spare irons, wedges etc.) everywhere I can. Better get a set of MacTec NVG2s before they're gone too. Currently £199 at DG, how low can they go before I crack???

    Woman killed by husband on golf course...

    A couple were on their honeymoon, lying in bed, about ready to consumate their marriage, when the new bride says to the husband, "I have a confession to make, I'm not a virgin." The husband replies, "That's no big thing in this day and age." The wife continues, "I've only been with one guy...

    Are My Shafts Losing Me Distance?

    GB.....what shafts do you have? i.m.o. this is an odd discovery. Normally, I'd expect a marginal increase in distance. Is there any info on the shaft about the kick point? Do you know your driver c/h speed? - - - - - Crikey, been gone 72 hours, just the 480 posts to read!!!

    Weight Transfer - What a difference.

    Good for you! I felt a huge improvement in my game once my pro told me "how" I ought to be standing at the end of my swing... to get here, I needed to do quite a lot more than I was. For me, turning "over" the right leg and sitting into the flex has proved my make-or-break thing over the years.

    Whats your Drivers degree of loft...............?

    Couldn't agree more....... I have exactly this combo and a 13 for "ease" on the short course. I CAN hit all of them, but I do find the more loft, the less sidespin. I got a good grilling on here for suggesting that 11 degrees is a happy medium. Try a 13, but maybe not with the intention of...

    Putting Stats

    Hmm, this is quite fascinating..... I'm seeing everyone's point of view on this. There was a time when I would NEVER putt from off the green (more than a foot say) because I wouldn't want to have "yet another" 3-putt, which my playing partners (then) would have always called it. That was silly...

    Whats your Drivers degree of loft...............?

    bagz, I treated myself to a 13 degree driver for the winter (short course) and don't carry both. I put a review of it on the "post a review" section.....1st post....benny HT. Compared to my 3-wood, it's extremely easy to hit (massive 460cc head) and goes a bit further, though not a lot....I...

    Dissertation on golf performance - any help much appreciated!

    Is the Pope Catholic? it's an easy answer. I'd have thought the questionnaire will answer itself. Sounds to me like GCSE.... :) - - - - Nothing personal (I don't mind the post) but I gave this type of thing a wide berth during my degrees. People that spend time trying to gain an edge...
