A block of 6 hours of lessons.
2 hours will be used for an on-course session in a few weeks, the others to look at short game and bunkers before then.

Welcome back. You realise there’s no escape, right?!
Enjoy the on course lesson, the pro May not say much while out there and just observe, or may be talker, feel free to ask him which if u like!
Sounds a great idea. I love having online lessons and always reveals something new. Short game and bunkers are always worth revisiting

I went into American Golf for a custom fit out of curiosity and to see if I could justify something shiny. Went thru a few options - Ping, Mizuno and Wilson. The Wilson D7 Forged just felt and looked right. After a bit of tinkering with shaft and lie angle I suddenly started hitting sweeter and more consistent. I was offered a more than fair trade in for my current clubs, so got my dosh out and ordered
I've been looking into Srixon and Wilson Forged clubs for a short while and was initially keen on the z785/585 but when I tried them I was quite a bit down on distance. Mizuno JPX919 Forged were very nice as well but the D7s were just right. Not quite as trendy as Titleist or Callaway but that suits me just fine. Cant wait to get them on the course.

How reasonable was the trade in price if you don’t mind me asking?
I like the look of the d7 as well

I was offered £194 for my 5 to SW M4s that only cost me £380 about 18 months ago - they were standard. I'd recently been offered £110 as trade in elsewhere. I'd been thinking about putting them on Ebay but that seemed hassle so close to start of the season, so the trade in has saved me some mither as well. So, £400 cost to change for clubs that 'feel' better for me - i'm very comfortable with that
I should have a couple of weeks to gap and get on the course with them before the action starts proper.

How long did the fitting last? Only asking as I had a fitting with them and was not impressed.
Especially after looking at other club fitters on YouTube I realise they cost more but you can get most of the cost back if you purchase clubs
Hope you enjoy the new clubs ant they do as there told

I plan a trip to the bookstore today, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to buy.
There's a café inside, near the periodicals section, so coffee and a muffin for sure.

It lasted about 45 mins or so? I had another a short while ago when pondering Srixon at another retailer and the two processes were slightly different and had slightly different results. Ultimately I went with the one that 'felt' right to me. Its difficult to quantify in specifics to be honest.
IMHO the fitting process is going to throw out different results based on how I swing on the day and how the fitter interprets that. Ultimately, its down to me to 'feel' the improvement or benefit and make the call myself whether its genuine and worthwhile. I do intend to visit Tour X in Wigan at some point this year for a proper independent driver fitting that I *pay* for as they have a very good reputation. Should be an interesting experience.
Cant wait to play the clubs, genuinely felt great to hit and at £400 cost to change I can live with it if I fall out of love relatively quickly...

Sparkbrook Golf, 3 iron to Wedge but unfortunately missing the 9 iron (anyone having a spare knocking around please shout up).
Persimmon 1B and 4B woods and yet another unmarked brass bullseye type putter.
Sparkbrook advertised heavily in UK golf magazines during the 1960s.
These are called Cypress Point USA Model, I'm pretty certain that they were made in the UK (stainless steel cast heads) and just using the "USA Model" name for some glamour.
Not bad for a tenner.

Broke my own rules and bought an used TS2 driver on Ebay. £190. Head is in great shape and pretty sure its kosher. Took it out on the course yesterday at Weston. I am sure the ball was coming off much quicker than my 917 and flying nicely. Will have to check it on the trackman next week to compare. Pleased so far

TS is a definite improvement on the 91x range, I went from 915 about a year ago and haven’t looked back ??
