Does not look even close to a 250 yard 7 iron swing.


It does look like he can get it out pretty far, though.

Jamie Sadlowski.can probably nudge it 250?

These were recorded at Golfers world  (indoors) on their swing machines and on the Driving range under the auspices of my coach.

I've had to replace my irons and woods as they got damaged..bent at the hozel.

I now have his brother's (also a pro..but on the tour) , then sponsored Hogan Apex tour blades with x100 shafts.

The putter is heavier than the 7i. ;-)

Here's the link where it mentions that he hits the 7i 240-ish.

Look at the arc Sadlowski gets on his swing compared to Neal. It's not even close.

Dude, I can play with X100 shafts. That's not a big deal.

Thus far, as I said before, you're not offering anything that even approaches "proof."

Probably about 200 degrees more?

This guy is obviously messing with everyone.  Never thought about creating an account just to mess with other guys here?  It gets pretty funny sometimes. ;)

Gorilla James, hitting 6i 260 yds.

Exactly. Best evidence to date that @NealR is off in someway or another.

Maybe @NealR was hitting it down a blacktop road?

Just switched from 1973 Hogan Apex blades to new Callaway Razr.  BUT...I changed my swing to accommodate a 50 plus body.  Now the old man easy well timed swing.  Works well.

Distance basically the same with less effort.  7 iron about 150.  6 about 160. Wedge under 100.  Driver my strong point.  Still hitting 250 to 280 with new 9 degree club.

Shortened my backswing on all clubs and got things alot straighter.

Putter....varying distances and barely none of them hitting the hole on the first putt.  /This is my game killer!!

No matter tho.  Enjoy being out in nature,  Quiet.  Serene.  Talk to the squirrels.

Golf is good.

Agreed, but what about the bunnies? And the deer?

What is the attraction for these guys to come in these types of forums and strut around just regular folk who want to talk about their simple golf game and other golf related topics, it really gets boring and downright tiring.

You only listed 12 clubs with a gaping hole from 115-145, your wedge distances seem a bit short for how far you say you hit a 9 and 8 iron.

I agree. Those distances from 7-9 iron are almost identical to mine, but my 46 degree PW goes about 130. Is your PW part of the same set? It seems surprising you would only hit it 115.

    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.  
    • I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though. 
    • Hey, many thanks in identifying those.
