I just got my new irons last night (see sig) and went out this morning to hit them since I'm working evenings. Both of the ranges close to my house were closed! The first one, at a nice course nearby, is closed about half the time I go; anytime it rains or whenever they feel like it. They treat their range like its freaking Augusta National. I don't know why.

The second one is more of a goat farm but its fine for hitting balls. I got there about 8:50 and nobody was there so I gathered up a few balls from near the hitting area and hit maybe 30-40, until about 9:30. Still nobody there so I left $6 under a weight on the outdoor counter (since I hit about a small buckets' worth). Pretty annoying. They don't seem to have any hours posted but it is a beautiful day, you'd think they'd be there by 9 at the latest...

I love the new irons from what little I was able to hit them. Glad I went with the DG shafts as opposed to the PX flighted as I had no trouble getting the long irons up in the air, which I was a little concerned about (only hit them on a launch monitor before I bought them). Felt sweet and seemed pretty easy to work the ball either way. Other than a couple s****s they even seemed more forgiving than my old Adams clubs - a tighter dispersion on balls that weren't hit well (probably because my old clubs were regular shafted). I got them from Callaway preowned and was very satisfied with the condition, even though they were "average".

Oh man, they are lucky to have such an honest player like yourself to leave money. If I had new irons like that I would probably find anywhere to hit them, hehe. Good luck!

At least your in TX, everything up my way (Mass) is closing up for the year. Can't really blame anyone though. Not a ton of fun playing in 45 degree.s

I was thinking that if he picked up the balls himself then he should have got to hit them for free.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!
