After getting my handicap down to ~10 this year I bought a set of Mizuno MP-58's and turned out my swing wasn't ready for these clubs and needed something more forgiving. I picked up a set of Mizuno JPX800's on ebay and although they played pretty good I don't think the shafts were right. Thanksgiving week I bought a Titlest 913D2 driver and fell in love with it.

So, I decided that I would jump on board with Titlest and got fitted for a set of AP1's. I picked them up last Saturday and to go along with them I got a 910F 4 wood and a 910H 19* hybrid and also a vokey 56* SW. I played Sunday morning without hitting any balls with the new clubs. Scraped it around for a 81, not bad considering it was the first time swinging these sticks. Now to become a complete homer, I'm shopping for a Titleist bag. Merry Christmas to me

Very nice pickups -

I hit the 913D2/Basarra and was impressed - it seems more accurate and had length similar to my Adams 9088/Fuji Blur. To me, it's a curious thing to mention accuracy - a big head on a stick with a nice shaft, but it had something.

I'm waiting for the Adams and TM Drivers - it just seems that different drivers with similar specs still get different results.

I did purchase two Bobby Jones-Ortiz 2012 Hybrids - beautiful clubs redesigned with a much larger, deeper more forgiving head that frames the ball beautifully.

Other than a driver, I might change shafts in fairway woods as my senior swing is now in the 90 mph range with driver.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

I'm waiting on the Nike VRS Covert to come out - hoping that it features some of the input from Tiger and Rory - though suspect it was designed long before that was announced...Going to just swap my current Razr Fit from golfredefined for the VRS Covert early next year.

I may possibly make a ball change as well, to Titleist, of course. I've been playing the Srixon Z-Star and the best thing I like about the ball is the way it putts. I've tried ProV1 and V1x in the past and really didn't care much for either ball, so yesterday I was at Dick's and picked up a dozen of the new NXT tour. I'll try them this weekend.

I also ordered a Titleist lightweight cart bag, should be here on the 19th.

The Bridgestone guys stopped by my course this summer, and I got a ball fitting with my driver. According to the comparison, their e6 should go 12 yards farther than my TF Gamer .

Only question is, will the e6 have any stopping power. Don't get me wrong, I don't back the ball up except on occasional full short iron shot. But, I want at least a little check spin - hit and release a couple of yards.

I got a dozen e6 on sale, and will do a nine-hole Gamer vs. e6 test on a warm afternoon.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I've tried the e6 and and got about a clubs worth of added distance and the stopping power seemed okay. The thing I didn't like was the way it putted, like it would come off the putter face hot sometimes, and sometimes not.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
