My pitching wedge is 46degrees. What the preference be for wedges after that 52 and 58 degree or 50, 54 and 58 degree. Below pitching wedge I play very few full shots am fairly happy hitting a 100 yard and even 80 yard shot with a pitching wedge. I’m thinking a 52and 58 will suit me as I...

So, I’ve been thinking for a while about some new irons. To be fair, these are a treat. I have no need at all of new irons, but… First thing, I don’t expect them to make me play better. I’m pretty much of the attitude a good swing is a good swing and a bad swing… But, I do play with Wilson...

Could anyone suggest drills or feels to help me reduce casting the club?

Emm, tricky, on one hand it’s all about speed - correctly applied. I suppose I average about 90mph with the driver, 78 with 7 iron. It takes a fairly poor strike or a pretty strong wind for me not to carry somewhere between 220-240yards. A range and ball speed is okay but not a patch on a...

It’s a good walk. I love being out in the fresh air. I love the technical aspects of the game and the balance of trying to make technical improvements in the various parts of the game. I know I’ll never be as good as I’d like to be. Ultimately though I never really worry about the score or...

Well, in my experience- that’s golf - it’s just a ridiculous game that will keep on kicking your butt until you’ve hold you’re last putt and passed on to whatever is next.

This isn’t boasting because there’s some fantastic golfers on this forum. But, a significant moment on my golf journey today. For the first time 3ver I broke 80😀😀😀. I’m over the moon. Now, advice please. I’ve been playing a Srixon AD333 which I’m really quite enjoying. What would I gain...

I’m taking a 2 week holiday in a week or so. We’re going in the car@van and staying at Ferry Meadows at Peterborough. I’m going to play Orion Meadows and Thorpe Wood just because they’re so close. Any other nice courses nearby. Not top end or pretentious , just nice sensible courses which...

It really is. Helps with the strike as well when I feel really confident to go through it.

Cheers Bobmac, just had a range session, really backed off that right hand. Fantastic, straight, long, can really confidently get through the ball and release the club now😀😀😀

Predominantly. I have a bit of a 2 way miss going on - golf is a hard game just at the minute. I’ve filled my head with all manner of swing thoughts as well. At the minute I stand over the golf ball a nervous wreck!! Bit of a chicken wing, separation and disconnection of arms and body is...

I’m thinking similar, play with for the summer (if we get one), do some serious work on it over the winter.

I’m more inclined to draw it. The occasional pull though.

Devastated am I. Since the beginning of June I’ve been working on 2 things:- reducing a flying right elbow, lessening a flip/chicken wing. It’s felt really good, I was sure I was getting it. Got my lad to video my swing tonight…. Gutted! Not sure there’s any difference at all, perhaps a...
