I sole mine. Seeing your a 7.7.......did you ask him what his cap was? 
 

don’t you just love unsolicited comments?

I did not ask him. I've seen him play a few times though. He and I frequent the same courses/range. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I sole it.  I try to have as little tension in my forearm and hands as possible before pulling it back.  At least that is my thinking why I sole but I have been accused of not having enough grip pressure

I sole every club with face square to target to take grip and stance. But I hover the club head just slightly before starting backswing.

I tend to "sole" it when I'm getting my grip and stance set up and hover it just before the backswing. 

I Posted my answer the same time "daled" did...….  LOL

I do the same thing, helps me get my grip correct.

    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
