Very nice site. I love the page view, very clean.

I noticed that some of you are members at 'another' golf site, however diversity of opinions is always a good thing.

Glad to be here, as I love to associate with the golfing community!

Ahem, nice pictures.

Hey, how is that Sotty Cameron? I'm thinking about getting one and trying it out, I'm experiencing a problem with my rossa and my white hot. The rossa doesn't have the feel the white hot has, but it gives me true distance, the white hot has the distance, but not the feel...

I have a couple of Scotty's. The one that I'm using now is a RED X2. This is the simply one of the best of his designs to date. Pundits of cameron may complain that he's simply copied either PING or Odyessy or whatever, but Scotty simply makes the designs better. Think of the RED X as a ultra precise white hot. I too have a white hot, however I couldn't get over the fact that a toe hit on 'my' white hot was ULTRA hot, and a dead centre hit was, well dead? I think it was due to the consistency of the polymer that they pour into the face cavity. The RED X is finely machined GSS steel. Ultimate touch & feel.

Give one a try & I promise you won't be dissappointed. jp

I sure will, maybe I will try out my friend's Scotty Cameron (he actually got it from a Tour Player, can't remember exactly who he got it from) first and then I will get something myself.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
