Do you have a standard practice routine? Sometimes I work my way through the entire bag from wedge to driver. Other times I take only a couple clubs and alternate back and forth after 6 or 8 balls. Just wondering what others do.

I don't have a set routine, but my practice time usually goes something like this:

Wedges 20%
Short Irons 10%
Long Irons 10%
Woods/Drivers 25%
Long Irons 10%
Short Irons 10%
Wedges 15%

Sometimes I'll go through the clubs skipping one on the way up and hitting the ones I missed on the way back but usually I will just go SW-GW-8I-5I-3I-Hybrid-Driver.

The routine...if you can even call it that...will change depending on what I'm struggling with. Lately I've been spending more time with the driver, but I'll still work up to it and back down to the wedges.

Fairways and Greens.

    • Day 6: played a 9 hole match play. Won 3&2, and shot -1 for the 9 holes. Stupidly made 2 birdies after I won the match 🙃
    • I’ve hit them all and had a set with MMT’s. Recoil…. Don’t know which one you’re talking about.  The Dart 90 felt the most like steel and had a lower ballflight.  Similar to my Steelfiber i95 iron shafts.  I preferred the Steelfiber but could have done Dart and been ok.  The Recoil ESX felt more like traditional graphite and got the ball up in the air quicker.  Had a softer feel, as I said, more on the graphite sided than the steel shaft feeling side.  If you’re looking at the recoils with SmacWrap, those are great as well, felt a little stouter than the ESX. MMT… Did not care for them at all.  I had a set of 105 and a set of 125.  First off, they are tip heavy…. So it throws off the swingweight.  Similar to Steelfiber where strands of steel are woven into the graphite but Steelfiber feels 1000 times better.  To me they felt awful.  To get the swingweight right I would have had to put lead tape under the grip.  And then I have a heavy club that still doesn’t feel right.  They also play a half flex stiffer.  One day I was good hitting them, the next day bad.  I can’t vouch for the 75 and 85 gram but I believe there are better choices in that weight range.  Not a lot of graphite choices in the 105-125 gram range.   KBS PGI…. I seriously can’t remember much about them.  The fact that the “P” stands for players tells you they are demanding. I believe I didn’t think much about them because they lacked feel.  If it’s any consolation… I never see anybody using them and I never get a request to see if we carry them.   To summarize, Recoil ESX for graphite feel, lighter weight but good dispersion.  Smac wrap for a little tighter feel.  MMT feels weird, low ballflight, plays stiff.  PGI  very demanding.  I would give Steelfiber a look.  If you do, go down a flex.
