I’ve been working on mine, a couple months ago my launch was too high, too much dynamic loft so I was spinning the driver too much. As usual with golf I’ve overdone it the other way, taking too much loft off now so launch and spin are too low on a lot of my shots. Hopefully I’ll find a happy...

PRGR isn’t expense, same with the first Rapsodo MLM, both are about £200 new. I’ve had the MLM for years, it’s actually pretty good for the money, got great reviews from MyGolfSpy and other sites.

Yeah, that’s what I thought. I wonder what they are going to do for the club card instead. Not that it concerns me that much, I’ll be going back to my old club in April anyway.

It’s the launch angle, some of them are launching at 8 degrees. I had a couple the other night on trackman with 154mph ball speed that only carried 180 yards as they launched at 8 degrees. Us hackers should be launching it at between 15-17 degrees or so with lowish spin (2k or so) to get our...

Just received a notification from my club. We are ditching HDiD altogether and going with Golf Genius and BRS. We already have BRS for casual booking but used HDiD for comp bookings. No idea if Club V1 will still be used for card since that’s integrated into HDiD.

It’s pretty close but not perfect and you also have to consider the launch monitor. Trackman typically measures a couple of mph slower than a GCQuad due to how they track impact. Best smash factor on Trackman is 1.5, I think Quad is more around 1.45. My one and only ball speed of 160mph on...

Depends on the type of ball you are hitting and if they have it normalised or not. If it's range limited balls I'd guess they are slower.

Sounds like you need to get those speed sticks you are thinking about, 135mph is around my 4 hybrid ball speeds. You can't have a fat old duffer hitting it further than you. :)

Course back open today and it was pretty dry, no mud on the trousers as they put us on the "Dunes" layout which misses out 3 holes that can get wet. Was good to just get out and swing the club though. Tried to play with the new swing feeling I practised this week and results were not good. :LOL...

I try and play a round each time I go now as well. Currently use Trackman twice per week, I played Lahinch last night and struggled as it seems really tight and I wasn't very accurate. Played a lot from the long stuff and was just rubbish. I don't do putting, I just set it to PGA Tour putting...

Second visit to the swing studio this year and although I haven't done any superspeed stick swings I do try and hit a few drives flat out just to see where I am. I bought some RCT balls so I know I'm getting proper spin readings now. I used to be a high spin player with irons but it seems in the...

Some Titleist RCT balls for when I'm on Trackman. Since I'll only be using it till the end of March I bought a sleeve off eBay rather than buying a dozen of them for £70 from Titleist. Used them tonight and it would seem that the big toe duck hooks I was hitting on Tuesday night were in fact...

So you could get a strange situation of a club not purchasing this for all members and the member refusing to pay £2.99 a year. How would a member be able to put money on their card etc if the club uses V1 for that kind of thing? I guess since you are not paying the £3 a year you won't have an...

Looks great. Where you not tempted to get the roof a bit higher and get a screen and launch monitor?

My brother has switched to the Wilson Model X ball and says it's great. A few other low handicap guys I know have also changed to it. I should have enough Left Dashes to last next season even although I'm planning on moving back to a parklands course so I will lose a lot more balls than last season.
