WITB: Jeff (muskegman)

[muskegman]

Thought I'd do one of those WITB things since I'm almost happy with what I've got. A couple of shaft changes and a hybrid addition and I'm set.

Here's what I've got:

Driver: Titleist 905T 10.5° Graffalloy Blue R-flex (need stiff)
FW Woods: Titleist 904F 15° and 19° YS-6 R-flex (need stiff)


Irons: Titleist 690.CB 3 through 9-iron Dynamic Gold True Temper Stiff




Wedges: Vokey Black Nickel 248.06, Vokey 254.10 Oil Can, and Vokey 258.04 Oil Can


Putters: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 and Yes! Olivia Mallet

The whole bag:

Ya might as well ditch the Yes! and make it an all Titleist bag.....hmmm who else at TST is all Titleist

I'm not.

See profile. All Titleist except my underwear

Anyone know where I could purchase a pair of boxer shorts that say Titleist-#1 Balls?

You could put something together for Cafe Press, but I'm guessing you might get sued...

I'm glad this WITB (Whats In The Boxers) thread is generating such lively discussion.

Anyway, I've got a Grafalloy Blue stiff-flex shaft on the way. Should be here the beginning of next week. That should help bring the ball flight down a bit and add a bit of accuracy to the bag. I'm looking around for just the right fairway wood shafts too so that I don't have to play those whippy regulars this season. I'd like to have them all replaced by the beginning of February as I've got a tee time at Gold Mountain, home of the upcoming 2006 USGA Amatuer on the 3rd and 4th.

I've added a Grafalloy Blue stiff to the driver. Wow. I hit it strait compared to the hook machine I had in there before. I was constantly hitting 8 yard draw-hooks with the regular-flex. Shaft flex makes a world of difference.

I didn't give up any distance in the transaction either. Probably gained a little.

Eight yards is nothing. Dunno if your Newport Cup experience was typical, but you were hitting balls everywhere with the R flex. Toldja.

[muskegman]

You weren't kidding about flex making a difference. I'm still inconsistent but I'm seeing now that its ball placement and a bad swing not so much my highish swing speed causing problems.

Yeah...I think those whippy shafts were causing some big problems but you've already found out that your problems will move to other areas. The good news is that, at some point, the problems get smaller and smaller and easier to identify.

Yeah, its very important to get fitted for shafts. It seems that in Jeff's case his regular flex shaft was whipping through the ball making it hook, but thats the opposite of the case for me. Whippy shafts make me slice the ball. I think it has to do with the way I accelerate throughout my swing, through the ball etc etc. Anyways, the point is get fitted ! it just makes life easier.
