Europeans, with a few exceptions, hit the ball much lower than Americans with just about all clubs. Generally makes sense due to weather conditions and style of golf each would learn to play as they grow up.
As i've said forever, many guys on tour aren't as super long as you might expect and...
The facility i practice at has a great short game area but none of it is closely mowed to simulate a fairway lie. I'd like to purchase a nice practice mat for chipping/pitching/short wedge shots that i can bring with me. Note that i want a mat that's big enough for both the ball and myself to be...
Tiger Woods, 15th hole, has 104 yards left to the hole and here is another gem from Ole Mr. Miller:
"The only thing i don't like about his game right now is he is aiming left on wedges, he's sort of trying to cut them instead of trapping them in there."
Tiger proceeds to hit it to about 2 feet...
Maybe this is old news but is a bit of a revelation for me. We all know that the driver swing is very different than the iron swing due to the tee and hitting up on the ball and vice versa for irons.
However i also feel you need a slightly different iron swing for long irons and short irons...
Here's the course i played today: Forest Preserve Golf - Cook County, Illinois - Managed by Billy Casper Golf - The Course
I have a soft spot for it because i grew up playing it and learning to play. It's short and if you're a big hitter you should be greenside on most of the shorter par 4's...
As Bmanz has said in the past, without a trackman or flightscope you are pure guessing and as usual, he's right.
I was messing around on a flightscope over the weekend and worked out some iron issues. Hit my 1st practice bucket of the year (yes that isn't a typo) trying to work on those things...
So this is right out of Happy Gilmore, some of you may not even believe me.
I'm at the range last night testing out some new equipment when i saw a friend from work there. I help him on his swing a bit and he decides to leave and go get his friends. They are a few range stalls away from where...
Ok
I went to the range last night and did some club testing. I am currently gaming some Ping S58's with their stock ZZ65 shaft. From what i could find out about them it is essentially a lightweight S300 shaft that Ping has True Temper make for them. I had my club guy put a KB C-Taper X flex...
So i play this course once in a while that will be remain nameless no matter how many times i will be asked and/or how many PM's i may receive on the subject i am not going to name.
ANYWAY
It is my belief that this course has borderline unplayable greens on many holes and some could even be...
shouldn't be grabbing a driver for anything under 420-430 yards imo. I hit driver between 280-300 depending on conditions and about 260-280 3 wood. I played a 7000 yard course yesterday (that i play about once a week) and didn't bring my driver.
I only missed 2 fairways and they were just in...
