I am glad that I was not the only one intrigued by this club.

Im still not sure I will pull the trigger since a Scotty Cameron, a new bag and possibly a new set of irons are on my list first.

I am glad that I was not the only one intrigued by this club.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I said coming into the season that I was going to concentrate on getting new (better) irons. Instead I spent a bunch of money on a bag, 3 wood, 3 different hybrids and some other junk. Going into the "offseason", I'm more focused on the new irons and possibly a new Scotty. I certainly wouldn't mind getting this though....

Could you use it for chipping?

Absolutely...you could use it for many shots.....

Chipping, Pitching, Approach, Trouble, Sand.... I have a lot of problems getting the ball to the hole from around the green. Typically my best bet is to use an 8 iron and swing it somewhat like a putter....problem is I don't always swing it "somewhat" like a putter and end up boning it across the green. I'm thinking this would have a shorter shaft and would set up better for a putter/short chip stroke. Of course, it doesn't come out until the middle of October so it's hard to say one way or the other. Definitely an interesting club though!

I could stand to take a few clubs out of my bag anyway (that thing is either heavy or I'm way out of shape!). The 4-iron could come back out since I don't really use it (rarely even use my 5 iron....I play on a pretty short course). I've threatened to permanently dispose of my driver quite a bit this year....

In actuality, I probably won't be picking this club up.... I'm going to be concentrating on acquiring some new irons and a new 56° this off season.

I'm curious too. But, is it really anything more than a regular chipper? I had read it can be used for up to 100 yds in?

I use a similar club the MARXMAN X-ACT. It is a niblick with the WHITE HOT XG insert. It is awsesome around the green. You can use it to bump and run, chip shot, and pitch shot.

it definately looks ugly > but so did the original Big Bertha.

personally, i think the clubs is trying to do everything. Badly. I would rather the know-how to create different shots via:ball position, changing follow-through, open face, close face etc

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
