Just curious, who are you pulling for in the World Cup? I bet Germany will be good - as usual.

Good luck!!!!!!!!

I tell you....I could not truly believe how much that adjustability would matter. I went in with a hook/draw...now the way my driver is set up it is straight as a string. It makes me feel bad because I was doing it by cheating....so the first thing I did was neutralize the drivr and try to work my natural swing into the club. I could understand if someone had a drastic problem or didnt want to put the time into the range trying to find out what is happening. For instance...the guy at first had me anti-drawing /with the settings. I could not stand it....I figured if Ben Hogan could do it without the adjustability so could I. So....I adjusted it to neautral, stopped swingging on such a flatter plane and now I have my baby slice back....LOL

They ARE NOT as forgiving as the Burner.....I really have to watch my backswing (cupping the wrist) on my backswing,,wiih my wrist breaking at the right time to get a great shot. With the Burner i could swing away and expect a straight shot....but with the R9 I have to work at it...but that is what is all about right......with the Burner I coud shape a shot.....with this R9...with a little shoulder turn and wrisit action...I can now shape a shot.....boy what a upgrade and boy what a learning curve...LOL

BTW...I a getting 10 more yards
How are you hitting the R9's?

BTW...the R9 are not as forgiving as my RAC OS either.....so I am learning to pay balll short and long

Some people think I am SPAMMIN....from what I see on my pc is one post?? moderator...if theyre are more than one of my post on the subject let me know and take the others down

TPs or regular? I played the R9s as a rental set last month and like them. They felt good.

I've been debating the R9 tps, last seasons TPs (at a discount), or the Titelist AP2s. Playing the 2006 RAC tps now (forged cavity back). Still like my irons very much but feel like I could probably benefit from some newer technology in the long irons.

Did you hit anything else before you bought?

I like going in without a favourite (other than the obvious nationality based allegiances), but the OPs photo has me thinking about Team Germany.

      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
