Ever heard of Google?

I read that a good time ago before there was much for comments. Sorry for not making it my homepage and religiously checking to see if any new comments were posted.

???????

Good grief - what raw nerve has been exposed here? My comment was related to your question "Would they be considered a "blade" or are they one of those combo irons that use a little bit of both?" My point was that with a few keystrokes you could find out, rather than asking for a whole bunch of "opinions" about what, surely, is a relatively objective topic.

Well you should really find a better way of making your point. "Have you ever heard of Google?" is seen as a smartass way to say something over here. I apologize if it's different over there, but a lot of people would take offense to that if they heard it.

I'm sorry for getting upset, just watch that next time.

They have. Try out the Cleveland CG-Red or Callaway x-20 tour. IMHO, the CGred is closer to a players club and x20 tour is closer to a GI, but..

INMHO, X20 tour plays like a plyer club with forgiveness for mis-hit that gives me a fair feedback, so probably is in between two genres.

Workability is up for definition, no? Most good golfers work the ball to a certain area of the course. I don't know anyone who says, "Well, I teed up, I'm going to hit it straight." Andulations, slope of the green, traps, doglegs, trees, etc., dictate whether you're going left, right, hitting a ball lower, higher. I don't think every golfer

I consider trajectory and short game to be part of that issue also. I chose my irons because I could knock them down fairly easily. Also the slightly thinner sole gives me more options, our turf varys from soggy to rock hard. I fade or draw the ball only minimally unless hitting a recovery shot.

That's the next thing I'm putting in my hands when I go back to the golf shop. AP1s were good. But I'm excited about trying those next.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
