I bought a head off ebay that is 9.5deg. I was gonna put my Grafalloy Epic in the head but the shaft is .350 and the head is .335, so instead of waiting and ordering another shaft I just had the shop install one that they had in house. The UST Proforce V2 in stiff and 67g. The UST website says that this club is for 90-100mph SS and smooth tempo. My SS is 105-109mph with my normal swing. I have a pretty quick tempo and a short backswing...which shouldnt fit this shaft. The first thing I noticed about this club is that the face is pretty hot. Not as hot as my Redline Ti460 but hotter than the FT-iz that I have...and any other big name driver that I have hit. The trajectory is about the same as my Redline...high, straight ball that doesnt balloon. Just takes off and goes forever. The club feels a bit light with the shaft and Winn Lite grip but I can feel the clubhead just fine and only hooked two balls. At the range I went to, there is another set of tees 340yds down range which face back toward our teeing area. The range is flat and you can see the ball hit and roll. I hit several balls that rolled up onto the teeing ground down range. I was getting some good roll out despite the high launch with this club. I am a believer in the hype on here and wrx about this club. I was hitting some similar shots with my gamer, however. Adams sure knows how to make golf clubs.

I found that I couldnt overpower this club despite the website saying that it was for slower SS and tempo players. I did swing the S flex heavier 77g Proforce shaft but with the 909D2 head and I liked it as well...but the shop that built my club didnt have one in stock. I would need to swing it with the 9015D head compared to the one I have to make a better comparison.

    • Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing. 
    • _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.
    • Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well. 
    • I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers. 
    • I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
