Hi All! I am a long time lurker of the forum who finally decided to register and start participating in golf discussion.

I’m eager to improve, currently taking lessons at GOLFTEC, and have reduced my handicap from ~18 to 10.9 over the last 5 years in a self-taught manner.

Broke 80 twice last season which was a big confidence boost. I am hoping to bring my 20-round rolling average differential down from ~14 to ~11 by the end of this season. I focus more on average differential than handicap as I prefer a flatter distribution of my scores, it allows me to enjoy golf much more.

Bought and read LSW last season which was very helpful from a strategy perspective. Primarily working on technical improvement to full swings with my instructor, distance control on chips/pitches, and lag putting.

    • I had a few tweeks in the bag. I took out my Mizuno pro FliHi 3 iron replaced it with a Titleist GT2 7 Wood. what a change that is, so easy to hit, it goes so high without it ballooning on me. I couldn't get rid of my callaway woods ( Rogue ST Max LS ) but changed the shafts to Diamana BB 63 stiff for the driver and 73 stiff for the 3 wood. Than i got myself a new putter Odyssey S2S jailbird yes i joined the centershaft family
    • First off all i think you should use the same ball all the time. We all strive for consistency on the course, the only factor you can be sure it will be always the same is your ball if you always use the same. So i think we should always use the same. I recently switched from Titleist Pro V1x to Srixon Z-Star Diamond because it i get a bit softer feel around the greens and same results on driver and irons
