I made an educated buy because I couldnt test the ft-5 first. At 100.00 its not that much of a gamble. Most people recommended the burners, I could only check out the 09 burner and wasnt impressed. I dont like the g15 that much so I didnt go for the g10 plus I couldnt find one that easy. Ive always liked callaways drivers, my current driver is the great big bertha so I looked at the ft-9 driver. I thought it was a decent driver after hitting. I read around alot of read that the ft-5 is liked more than the ft-9. I went and looked at the golf digest hot list around 2008 and the ft-5 was the top gold one and picked as editors choice out of them all. hmmm cant be that bad.

I didn't like the G15 either.

really. Have you ever hit the ft-5?

No, sorry, but I've heard it's a keeper.

When the time comes, I'll probably replace my G10 with another just like it - if I can find one.

well the guy questioning my buy got me thinking of trying the g10 so I went to my local driving range that had a g10 and also a f-5, lol luckily. So I got to hit them side by side. I was surprised, I loved the f-5 and hit it better than the g10. Only thing that's a little weird is the sound, got used to it though and for real I couldn't put the f-5 down. I think the f-5 was a tour model though cause it was 9.5 degrees. Before this I was thinking of canceling my order if I liked the g10. Glad I got to hit the f-5 as well. It's a keeper, very accurate

i had called first though and asked if they had a f-5 too and they said they only had the g10. so I was looking around before going out to the range with the g10 and a f-5 headcover caught my eye. take off the headcover and bam theres a f-5, cant find them anywhere around here to try out. They had it priced at 420.00 but they had all the old models priced really high as well. Like the g10 they had at like 260.

I may have to check out used F5s when it's time - the only thing I don't like about the PING is the sound.

When I was comparing them the shaft of the g10 is a little longer, like an inch. Yea the sound of the F-5 is different, it will catch you by surprise at first, but it delivers. Its almost sounds like a professional baseball player hitting a basebal with a wood bat. I didnt notice the sound of the PING very much, had a high pitch titanium sound.

I probably have low standards. So do guys like Hunter Mahan I suppose.

Said the guy playing TM Burners and PING raptures - LOL.

the raptures were cheap, availaible and easy to hit. =D before them i was playing traduitonal forged lynx master model blades. and i could hit them. but required sme real consistency. however, if i could put better and improve my sand saves , i would be a single digit capper. the only thing i cant seem to do is hit low shots with my short irons.

Burners are forgiving and workable. =D

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      Day 552, May 7, 2024 Played nine holes with @NatalieB with irons only from her tees. Didn't really finish out any holes, just hit the irons and approaches and some chips.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
