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.

Went to pga in paramus last night. Messed around for an hour and a half on the putting green. Had a 100 dollar gift card to blow so was seriously considering upgrading my putter. Loved the feel of the odyssey metal x two ball. Got it for under 100 so very happy

Just got 2 dozen Taylormade Lethal golf balls for 30$/dozen with free shipping from 3balls.com -- Pretty good deal, although I think they are prior generation. Love these balls, they still might have some available if interested.

Same deal going on at Dicks starting today. I picked up the TM Penta Urethane balls for the same price. I also believe that the new generation is dropping next week.

Always birdies and pars, Henry The room for improvement is vast that three lifetimes could be spent roaming the fairways,carving away at it, convinced that prefection lies just over the next rise. And that hope,perhaps,is the kindest bliss of all that golf bestows upon its devotees. - John Updike

Just got a couple dozen myself.  They were only out one year so there is no "prior generation" that I know of.  When they're gone, they're gone, replaced by the Tour Preferred  that just came out.  May be better deals going forward but $30 delivered is a pretty good deal right now.

    • Day 26: first night range session of the year! Worked with slow swings on the twist and roll. A lot of rehearsals, too. Very productive, and much happier than yesterday. 
    • Day 569 - 2026-04-23 Played ten holes. Hit about three good shots, but only one with the old left wrist stuff. The rest were just peelers to the right because the face was open. So, progress.
    • Day 245 4-23 worked on slight cup in backswing and arching in downswing. Having a slight cup in my backswing makes a big difference for me right now. Hit foam balls, recorded swings. 
    • I am wondering if this is worth asking ShotScope (the company) about.  I have been thinking of my short game a bit and looked at my statistics.  Compared to a 10 handicap (I am a 10.9 as I type this), past ten rounds, I am losing 0.06 in short game.   That's close enough that I want to look at myself now compared to a 5 here.  Losing 0.55, that tracks, and now I want to see where. From the rough, I'm gaining 0.03.  Cool.  From the fairway, I'm losing 0.13 ; some practice and being more certain of my quarter and half swing distances will shore that up I think.   Bunker, -0.45;  I could have guessed that.    I have one greenside bunker shot per round average (if I'm reading this correctly) in the last ten rounds and it appears it wasn't a particularly good shot (when I won my flight of my club championship a few years ago, 54 holes stroke play, I hit into zero bunkers the entire tournament;  that's my favorite kind of bunker play).  That's cool, and I love the drill from LSW about long bunker shots.  And I do try to prioritize not hitting into bunkers, and when I'm in one, my goal is get out to where I can two putt or, failing that, to where a decent putter (which I strive to be soon) can two putt.  Getting up and down is a bonus, and I haven't holed out from a bunker in over 15 years.    And then we have distance, where every short game range outside of 10 yards, I'm losing to the 5 handicap, and not gaining all that much inside 10 yards.   10-20 yards is the most concerning, at -0.30.  My quarter 58-degree is 20 yards, so these are more touch shots, something I don't really practice (I have a few estimates for what eighth shots do, which I don't have a better term for other than "using this wedge, imagine it's a long putt motion.") I wish I had a grid:  for each distance gradient, for each short-game lie type, how's my SG?  Are my losses primarily a bunch of bad bunker shots with some decent-to-good not-bunker shots or do I have some distance from the fairway/rough where I have plenty of room for improvement?   This isn't quite the joke about Game Golf telling me to improve at 25-50 yard shots from the other to gain 0.2 strokes per round, but something in between is what I'd like to know. 
    • Day 15, April 23.  I have spent over an hour hitting balls today in my practice area;  primarily 6-iron, the usual drill.  I have noticed that when I take a backswing and check the mirror, I've stopped well short of parallel, but when I record it, I'm getting to parallel.  Maybe something quantum is going on?
