  2. Hi Marvin Welcome to TST and indeed to the UK
  3. I try to play it with a 'neutral' club shaft, not leaning forward or backwards. Then easy swing and the club does the rest....don't try to hit it too hard.
  4. Welcome aboard. Whereabouts in the UK are you?
  5. Play MORE golf. Enjoy MORE golf. :-D Current handicap is 19.6 but can play to 15,16. Here in UK, need to play those rounds when it counts; in competition.:~( so goal to get to play off 15.
  6. I have a Garmin GPS watch, and have ordered a laser rangefinder. I am determined to get really comfortable with what my yardages actually are on the range and then know what I am faced with on the course...
  7. Wow. Somebody touched a nerve here. I can only speak personally, but the marketing stuff appeals to that little 1% inside of me that WANTS to believe that new kit can help me be better. I agree with the majority of posters, money would be better spent on practice, outlandish claims are always undone by the small print, and a moments logical thought would tell us that if half the claims were true, we would all be hitting it 750 yards with an 8 iron. In actual fact, the technology undoubtedly already exists to do this, but the rules guys prevent this technology being used. Marketing guys are many things, but not stupid...that irrational 1% + 'new shiny bright things.....' I am one of the suckers! Anybody need some of last years irons???
  8. Money Transfer Specialist, based in the UK
  9. Bad habits! That's all I've got! The name comes from partners..most of the time El Bad is mor appropriate!
  10. Truly tough day for the credit card, got seriously carried away on the web... Set of 5 Scor wedges Pre ordered stage 2 RBZ Rescue 4 iron to extend my new rocketbladez set of irons Footjoy gloves Iron covers Bushnell range finder Ouch......
  11. The 2010 Course at Celtic Manor in Wales on a wet, windy winters day....humbling...
  12. My PW is 45, then I have 50, 56 and 60. Spent some time on the range looking at gaps today, and there was not much of a difference in distance between the 56 and 60. Clearly logic might suggest changing the 56 for a 55. Will keep in mind as the weather warms up...
  13. Hi Hacker101. I'm new to the forum. 42 year old, largely spherical, lefthanded golfer playing in the UK. Playing off 20 and have just started playing the rocketbladez. Now, my technical knowledge is pretty sketchy and I am no expert on golf clubs. I can make the following observations. As many on the thread have already noted. These are not blades. The lofts are 'jacked up'. BUT...I have to say, that for me, they seem to be working. For example; the 7 iron goes around as far as my old 6, which would kind of make sense with the lofts. However, the difference is the height. The ball flies higher and comes down steeper. I am told this is all to do with shafts and weighting...and that's ok with me... Maybe it is all in the head, but my iron shots are going further, higher and landing softer, right through the set. I'm sold!

  15. Hi Bing. Just signed up myself. Sounds like you are flying! I'm off 20, but not progressing as fast as you. Play at Tidworth, not far from Andover.
