I think I have the lowest launch angel in the history of golf LOL.

I went and played on a custom swing monitor as I got fitted for a new 3&5 wood and hybrid, and used a 7 iron to warm up...

Launch angel of 17*...7 iron should be around 21.

I was loving the results though, carry of 192 yards...those steroids must be working

I just thought it was interesting and thought I'd share my rare oddity.

Wow, you carry a 7 iron 192 yards. That's amazing

Fishing for compliments?

Golf is a game in which the ball always lies poorly and the player always lies well.

hmm i might be able to give u a run for ur money on that one.

i was hitting a few diff. drivers on the golfsmith launch monitor earlier this week and at first my avg. launch angle was around 7 degrees or so and i was only carrying the ball 200 yds. we made a few adjustments to my grip and got it up around 11-13 though and a carry around 220 yds. the guy said that it was still a bit low, but if it was working for me then to just stick with it till the rest of my swing comes around.

longballer, i think you might have been fishing for compliments when you claimed your driver ss was 145 mph....

LOL oh well. At least when he was a 20 handicap he averaged 350 off the tee according to him

Are you sure this wasn't just a jab at the ridiculous swing cameras they use when trying to sell you clubs and how they always overestimate distance?

lol of course the distance was over estimated. I know damn well my 7 iron doesn't go 200 unless I have a nice breeze helping it.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.

      Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
