Just ordered an used Adams 2014 Tight Lies Fairway 5 Wood for a nice cheap price. Very curious to test it out.
Been looking for a fairway wood to replace my 3 hybrid to help give me a bit more distance on par 5's and long par 4's.

@retoid you’re gonna like the vice better. I use them both Bridgestone e12 and vice 

Well you were certainly right about this. Didn't notice much difference from when I switched to the e12's from the Kirkland balls. But today when I first tried the Vice Pro's, wow noticeable difference. Longest drives I've had so far and I think I need to club down on iron shots with it. Kept overshooting the green with them. Great feel and sound too.

I am using up my Taylor made distance balls. Went thru half of my tp5’s. Prolly finish the season with axt titliest. But not buying any. I still have a few hundred maxfli balls in my safe.

They are Still in the box. lol

   Maxfli softfli is the specific name. I hate hitting a ball that has anything solid or like hitting a rock. In the past (a few seasons ago) I remember using maxfli but they scuffed easily. So I went with a more expensive albeit “soft” ball. 
With the maxfli purchase ,off season, I. got over a hundred balls for eighty bucks so I figure what the hell.

54 and 58 degree SM9 wedges, replacing 4 year old Callaways.

Have chipped with them twice so far and 1 range session.

Carry yardages were right where I expected, nothing crazy there. They did seem to launch MUCH higher than what I'm used to, but it possibly could have been the range balls too since I was at a different range than usual and they weren't the best quality balls.

 

Chipping has taken some getting used to, significantly more spin and stopping power especially on uphill shots. 

Generating quite a bit more spin out of the rough too.

I went through those Vice Pro Plus' too fast lol. Loved them but I lost 6 the other day. 2 over the fence and the rest in bushes/tall grass. Decided to pick up and try out the Sugar balls. If those go just as fast, I'll probably resort to looking for a deal like you just got :D

Just picked up a mint condition Spider X Hydroblast putter. 

35", small slant neck. 

Been putting with a blade for a while but haven't been a fan of it inside 10 feet.

This Spider X seems much better inside 10 feet so far during my practice session today.

What I like best about that putter is the ability to tap in the small putts from the opposite end. I have the ordinary knock off.  By far the best club in the bag.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow..
