Funny thing about generations, we typically favour the one we are part of. I won't argue Orr or Gretzky because I watched them both. If you never saw Jack, then you don't know Jack! When you age a little you might understand.

79 - Why? Because he quits playing when he knows he can't win. I don't need to say anything else, he proved my point today.

We will never know who would have triumphed head to head in their prime, but some things to considered when comparing careers. 1) The times Jack did not win the big tournaments but was still top 3 is 19, Tiger 6 2) Tiger did not spend the first 5 years of his career with spectators yelling at him in his backswing; he loses his mind when someone whispers 3) The equipment, training, and support was a joke compared to Tiger's 4) Today's tour player is catered to, they want for little, they have people that do everything for them, in Jack's day they carpooled in caravans, they didn't get mattresses flown in because they slept funny. 5) Eighteen minus fourteen is FOUR as in the four that gets him to par with Jack; as a golfer that is, he'll never be the man that Jack is. As a final thought for all of those that think being one dimensional makes a person great, they should meet their idol, that can change your mind as to who you think is great.

Bit higher than the DG S300, but tight, and the way the shaft bends has helped reduce my AoA which was always on the steep side. The six iron on the trackman had me in at -4.1 average, but with the S300's I was -6. The club head speed was very similar, approx 91mph. In the end, I am 49, I still hit the ball hard and far, but my hands, wrists, and elbows hurt if I practice too much, I never expected the added benefits of AoA. Great shafts, I was told by the people at Aerotech that there are approx 24 guys on the seniors tour playing them, and more than a dozen more trying them. I could still play X100, or the C taper S+, yet these are up to the task.

Have you ever played The knives they played, or hit the ball they used. I grew up and learned how to play on Wilson Dynapowers, hitting balls that quickly went oval on you. For anyone to compare any modern player with a guy that came out of that era, they need to tell me how many strokes their new super ultra game improving equipment saves them. Jack is now and always will be better, until someone else can keep the 6" between their ears together long enough to win 19 majors. As for competition, Palmer, Trevino, Miller, Watson, Casper, Floyd, Weiskopf, Player, Littler, Crenshaw, Kite, Norman. I am missing a number of guy's, but the point is, the field was never weak, only one can win, and he put himself in contention more than everyone else.

714's, With the VBR grips, I am getting serious about protecting the wrists and elbows before things get bad.

Or get blown out, I love Watching Tiger, but look at the amount Jack was top 3 in the big events, he was always in it, Tigers wins or is out of it. Jack was more methodical, he took risk when required and tried to be in position at the back nine in the final round.

Jack dominated some of the greats, and when he lost, he was second or third. Loved watching him in the 70's & 80's. Miss his character. Today I compare Michelson to Palmer, and Tiger to Jack, but Jack is the better golfer.

This may be a little late, but I have found raising your hands and taking the club back straighter with a steeper swing path helps. As for the high shots, a steeper angle of attack definitely creates this if you have a higher swing speed. Most amateurs don't understand how a negative angle of attack makes the ball fly higher; truth is the spin. The average PGA pro has a negative 4.1 attack angle with a 6 iron. I have suffered with this for many years, I am a fantastic iron player from 7 iron in, better than average mid irons, and fantastic 3 wood. For the driver where you typically want an ascending attack angle I combat it with mid bend profile shafts i.e. The RIP Phenom in the Titleist 913 D2 with 10.5. As a final note, try the hand thing, and if you can try the new Aerotech Steel Fibre shafts in the i95 or i110 models, the results were incredible for me coming from the DG S300 Matt Kutcher, and Brent Snedeker play them, and more than 2 dozen other pros are testing them.
