Thought I'd do one of those WITB things since I'm almost happy with what I've got. A couple of shaft changes and a hybrid addition and I'm set.

Here's what I've got:

Driver: Titleist 905T 10.5° Graffalloy Blue R-flex (need stiff)
FW Woods: Titleist 904F 15° and 19° YS-6 R-flex (need stiff)


Irons: Titleist 690.CB 3 through 9-iron Dynamic Gold True Temper Stiff




Wedges: Vokey Black Nickel 248.06, Vokey 254.10 Oil Can, and Vokey 258.04 Oil Can


Putters: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 and Yes! Olivia Mallet

The whole bag:

18°, 20°, 23° Adams Idea Pro Prototype Hybrid

4-9 Titleist 690.CB
48° Titleist Vokey Tour Nickel

You could put something together for Cafe Press, but I'm guessing you might get sued...

I'm glad this WITB (Whats In The Boxers) thread is generating such lively discussion.

Anyway, I've got a Grafalloy Blue stiff-flex shaft on the way. Should be here the beginning of next week. That should help bring the ball flight down a bit and add a bit of accuracy to the bag. I'm looking around for just the right fairway wood shafts too so that I don't have to play those whippy regulars this season. I'd like to have them all replaced by the beginning of February as I've got a tee time at Gold Mountain, home of the upcoming 2006 USGA Amatuer on the 3rd and 4th.

I've added a Grafalloy Blue stiff to the driver. Wow. I hit it strait compared to the hook machine I had in there before. I was constantly hitting 8 yard draw-hooks with the regular-flex. Shaft flex makes a world of difference.

I didn't give up any distance in the transaction either. Probably gained a little.

Eight yards is nothing. Dunno if your Newport Cup experience was typical, but you were hitting balls everywhere with the R flex. Toldja.

You weren't kidding about flex making a difference. I'm still inconsistent but I'm seeing now that its ball placement and a bad swing not so much my highish swing speed causing problems.

Yeah...I think those whippy shafts were causing some big problems but you've already found out that your problems will move to other areas. The good news is that, at some point, the problems get smaller and smaller and easier to identify.

Fairways and Greens.

Yeah, its very important to get fitted for shafts. It seems that in Jeff's case his regular flex shaft was whipping through the ball making it hook, but thats the opposite of the case for me. Whippy shafts make me slice the ball. I think it has to do with the way I accelerate throughout my swing, through the ball etc etc. Anyways, the point is get fitted ! it just makes life easier.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
