So you would use the same swing speed if your club head was smaller or would you tone it down to get the strike quality?

I would definitely use the same swing speed

Having a PHEV I quite like the fact it is auto. But I agree that when riding a motorbike it's a much more organic thing, and slipping up and down the gears is part of the whole experience for me. (Probably OK for Harley's, Gold Wings and others of that ilk though ?).

I was trying to draw the analogy with a small headed driver, it allows you to play all these different shots where as a large corrective one doesn’t really. Some people want that some people don’t.. ultimately a larger headed driver offers a little more average distance but isn’t a challenge.. like a bike with no gears is quicker seamless probably more in tune with other riding attributes.. it’s just a difference of opinion

So do you use a 460cc driver ?

So do you use a 460cc driver ?

Absolutely I do

 

[harpo_72]

Absolutely I do

So do you play vintage clubs as well?

No, my driver is about 6 months old my irons 3 years, except a driving iron, I bought a month ago

So this is just an off the cuff flippant remark based on no recent experience.

So not about speed ? The freedom to concentrate more on the balance the line etc … I am sure if a racing bike with no gears was released it would dominate.

No, it’s about pleasure, not purely speed. The line and balance can alter with the gear used.

Do you ride?

No, it's a statement of fact - if I want more control, and am content with shorter distance ,I'd move down to my 3 wood, 3 iron or 19° rescue club. I know by and large how far and in what direction my driver is likely to go

Followed a huge Tesla through town just now...horrible paint job.
A real Pearl finish but it just looked like it was white and had streaks of mid down it..
Anyway, I think he must have been low on battery as he didn't use a single indicator through about a couple of dozen junctions....

Nothing quite beats dropping down a cog to hit the power band and yanking the throttle open ?

That is an answer to another question

Used to but not seriously. Ultimately no gears is faster though always will be .. but I understand your opinion it’s just I am content to lose the gear shifting

Getting massively O/T but. What shots can’t you play with a 460cc driver?

 

[PJ87]

Well this is disappointing

The way I see it is there are 3 main reasons why some people may not want to buy an electric car.
1. Cost, they are too expensive to buy.
2. Nowhere to charge.
3. Range isn't enough.

Mercedes seem to have improved no. 3
