I ordered my new driver after finally going through a fitting on a launch monitor a couple of weeks ago (after a few months of trying them all out), and it arrived yesterday - a Titleist 909 D2 10.5* with Matrix Ozik X-Con 5 Stiff. Spent about 25 minutes at the range and it felt great, hit some beautiful shots with a nice penetrating ball flight; can't wait to try it on the course.

Also, I finally decided to replace my SkyCaddie SG4 which I'd used for two years; for various reasons, I wanted a rangefinder and ordered the Leupold GX-I (the review and comments on this site helped a lot!) - arrived in the office an hour ago. This thing is very compact, and feels nice - looking forward to comparing it with my SG4 for a round or so before I sell the latter.

Phil Mickelson's Secrets of the Short Game DVD also arrived, so that'll help :)

Have lots of golf planned for the week starting tomorrow - at least 5 rounds - so I'll be able to update this thread with actual playing experience soon.

I think my bag is all set, no more "stuff" needed!

    • Day 24 9-7 Worked on lower body movement with full swing. Focused on hips. Need to work on setup a bit. Was hoping to get to the short game area today, stayed home and recorded some swings instead. I've come to the conclusion I learn the most with my practice setup at home, just a net and a hitting strip. Overall happy with the progress this week. 
    • Day 2 (September 7), still with the grip and the medicine ball (using weights).   Still on vacation and really aching to be able to do a full practice the way I'd be able to at home.  Also bought a 1/2" section of pipe today at the hardware store and have been regularly practicing the grip with that too while watching Sunday football with the family.  
    • Day 1: Worked on feels for wedge swings. Primarily getting everything to move from the top of the backswing in the correct sequence. 
    • Day 6 (7 Sep 25) - Afternoon pitch session with the 54 and 58 in the backyard. Keys: Alignment - Setup - Smooth swing thru - working on each to be as “automatic” as possible - not mindless, but deliberately repeatable. I have found the precision required to properly execute carries well into the full swings.  
    • 180% is the threshold. But yeah, many of them are close to 200%. Not 120 and 123%. People generate speed differently. I think your speed will come more easily when this stuff gets sorted out. Stay disciplined. Stay on the road. You can't get off exit 74 before you hit exit 32.
