Just got back from the range.

Last weekend, my Golfsmith order arrived and I reshafted my 3-wood and my 2 Hybrids.
I was dying to hit my new shafts, and I'm thrilled with the changes!

I've been using an NV in my driver for a while, but my 3-wood and Hybrids have always had steel shafts. I changed my 3-wood to an NV-85X, (my driver is an NV-75X), and I reshafted my Hybrids with a pair of Graphite Design YS-9.1+.

The 3-wood is BUTTER!

And hitting the Hybrids now feels like a well struck iron! The steel shafts always felt too "whippy" because the 3-wood and Hybrid heads are naturally heavy. I was using TT X-100's in them, but it still felt like I wasn't "connected" to the head.

These new shafts are lighter and much less whippy, so it really feels like hitting irons.
Everything feels so much more solid and in control. It's like, "Point and shoot".

It appears that the extra NV and the two YS-9's are the best money I ever spent!

Oh, and I also changed all of my grips to Tour Velvets. It's the first time Ive ever used them and they feel pretty good. I'm not sure if i like them better than Tour Wraps, but I will give it some time to make that call.

But the shafts?

Cha-ching!

Nice, why didn't you try the six wood shaft from graffaloy, those are really nice. Also nvs shafts are amazing for hybrids, the ball dosen't balloon but goes high and the wind dosen't touch it. It's kind of like the NV, with more distance and air time.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂
