Those uniflex shafted irons would impossible for him to control. Playing against the best players in the world on the toughest courses in the world, he would be a non-factor, plain and simple

I want to know what he'd shoot at highfieldsgolfcc.com (where I just played districts) from the middle tees (6,024 yards) using my clubs, carrying his own bag the whole time using my clubs, with no caddy.

61

Any other questions?

You don´t need to guess. You can try it yourself. I´d say Uniflex is to tiger´s swing what lady´s flex is to your swing.

Borrow a set of lady´s and play a round.

Tell us all about it...

Please don´t swing while I´m talking !!

Yeah - except I am assuming that Tiger, or any pro, could probably adjust and compensate for the shaft flex a lot better than you or I could. If you swing correctly, you can use a really whippy shaft and still hit straight (ala whippy tempomaster).

I actually don't think he'd have much of a problem with my clubs. May not be ideal for him, but I think he can play alright. I think he uses x100's too so it won't be too bad. It's the putter and the ball that I'd be more worried about. I'm not sure how he'd do with an insert or a taylormade ball. Wouldn't be the best round in his life, but i"m sure he'd do alright.

yep, i think your set would suit him pretty good. i love those arc blades. i want a set of those (5-PW) with the matching Nickent Arc wedges

Straight perhaps, but not as far, and not without some adjustment in the swing. He already hits snap hooks - can you imagine how many clubs would end up in the gallery?

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
