Hi Mandrin, Something that has been on my mind for a while... Some time ago I bought a dvd from a club manufacturing co (US based)... They produced a line of expensive clubs made from boron with diamond faces (circa $400 each) and also space tech woods... One of the points made was that the...

As above.. And are you willing to do an unbiased and honest experiment?....

This has been on my mind for a while now…:) Last year we had a very long thread about club head speed/effective mass etc etc…anyway, Mandrin more or less proved (scientifically..:D) that it was pure c/head speed that dictated the final velocity of the ball…and you can’t add/create any...

Thoughts?....

Hi Guys, Would be very interested to get your input re the poll questions.. brgds..

Hey Brian, I put this up on the "lag loading" thread and mentioned it would be interesting if you did an analysis, especially re his left hand positions....maybe you missed it...

It occurred to me recently that most players unmanipulated bad shots were based on an out to in motion of the club... By unmanipulated, I mean when they are not forcing the clubface to stay open (push or push slice)... Even the pros unmanipulated misses are mainly pulls (as far as I can...

An interesting snippet for the, "Off-the-shelf clubs are the same as the pros use" brigade.... Ian Poulter's new Cobra clubs are specially milled for him from a dedicated block of steel... He said they cost $20,000 per set to make, and he has another "spare" set coming..... Food for thought...:)

Hi guys, Any clubmakers on the forum?... Was doing the sweet-spot test on my clubs (Tileist) the other day (tapping a tee peg point along the clubface while the club was suspended at the end of the grip).. I am finding my iron's sweet spots are more towards the hosel than I expected... Does...

On TV last night they showed a drill Luke Donald has been using on the practice ground... He has a clubshaft attached to his belt buckle, It is horizontal and parallel to the target line. Apparently the objective is to swing back and through (full swing), without the hands catching the...

I hit a lot of balls in practice... Why is it you seem to feel more of what is going on with your swing with the driver and 3-wood especially if you are making swing changes...Compared to the woods, irons, especially as they get shorter, seem to feel dead and lifeless... Apart from the extra...

Portugese Open Europen Tour event won by an amateur.... First time ever on the Europen Tour.. And he won it, nobody gave it to him....:)
