I've been reading the wealth of information contained on this site for a few months and decided I'd finally sign up in hopes of being able to contribute in some small way.

This year was the first I got really serious about golf. When the rest of my foursome consistently used their "hand wedge" to get them out of trouble, I played every shot I could even if it was in big trouble. Right now my handicap doesn't reflect the improvement in my game because I spent a good part of the summer fighting a slice off the tee. Thanks to some good reading on this page and a lot of practice I am now playing a decent draw off the tee. I have only been able, however, to get 2 full rounds in since the swing change due to winter's not so subtle arrival.

This is a great forum and I look forward to spending the winter reading and learning until the snow clears.

Living here in SE AZ, we don't see much snow except on the mountains. I do have to sometimes put on long pants in the winter though. ;)

That's just not fair! This Saturday was nice and I was able to get 18 in, but Sunday brought a few inches of snow. It's a 5 hour drive to play anywhere without snow now.

I'm new here also, nice looking forum and happy I joined. I know what you mean about winter golf. I live in Billings,MT and although we have mild winters here in the valley it's still not great golf. I did hit a bucket today and it felt good, no snow yet and temp about 58...not bad for day before Tday.

A hand wedge is how some people refer to people picking up and throwing their ball to improve their lie. Good luck making it through the winter. As you get more addicted to the game, winter becomes more of an annoyance.

OK I get it "hand wedge", pretty funny. As for your question Sean, I'm in southern Ontario and get my fair share of snow too.

      The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.

      Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part.

      FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
