I've been a golfer for a lot of years but really only decided last year to get serious again. I try to get out 2 to 3 times per week whenever possible. Last year was kind of rough as I started the year with a new set of Cleveland Gold irons that just didn't work for me. Not a fan of the uniflex shaft now. Traded those in on an R11 driver and went back to my Cleveland TA2's.. Then last summer, bought a new set of Cleveland TA7 tour irons which I liked a lot. Replaced those about a month ago with a set of new Taylor Made Tour Preferred CB forged irons that I REALLY like. Won't get a chance to use them much until spring though.

I've also been custom fitting/making clubs for a long time. More as a hobby than a profession but I sure learned a lot about what makes a golf club tick. I mentioned above that I bought an R11 driver which I have since shelved and went back to my Snake Eyes driver that I built for myself. I'm much more consistent wtih it and just as long. Current set make up is:

Snake Eyes 10.5 driver

Taylor Made 15 degree 3 wood

Cleveland 18/21 degree hybrids

Taylor Made Tour Preferred CB forged irons

Cleveland CG 16 5054 degree wedges

Taylor Made EST 79 putter

Taylor Made cart bag.

Welcome to the site!  Very cool to hear you're into club building.  I'm slowly making my garage into a workstation.  Have a nice grip, air compressor set-up.  Just go a PING swing weight scale for Christmas.  Next would be a lie and loft machine.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
