Working at a golf course, you meet all sorts of golfers with different goals and aspirations. Jay started out by working as a cart kid and played golf a little bit. A taller fellow who just wanted to rip it. It was always funny looking at his clubs. It was a bunch of different club makers and irons and wedges, because he kept braking everything quickly from swinging hard and hitting turf or sand or something. He also went through drivers super fast. One day working he got injured and tore his hamstring which put him out for a few months.
Now, he's back at it. I gave him my old set of Apex Pro irons, of which he has 3 clubs left, because he broke the others. Biggest change though is his driver. He bought a Krank Driver 48in, 3X-Stiff shaft and like 4 or 5 degrees of loft. He also bought a swing speed monitor to use at the range. On weekends, he's out there swinging away now and I can't help but try to swing that thing and give him some advice on technique. I can't swing that darn club; it's swing weight is off the charts for me and I hit a wicked slice. I did manage to hit 131mph with it, which is cool. But that's all I got (my average with my own driver is 117mph). He rips it but wants to get a bit more consistently in the mid 140's for speed (his top speed is 148mph I believe). Take a look for yourself on one he was at 144mph...
