Its time to revive this thread again.  Amazingly enough, our friend Tom still likes us enough to invite us to Palm Springs again.  We'll be arriving on January 11, leaving January 18, and hoping to play every day in between.  I believe we have 6 golfers, and no specific golf plans as yet.  Its been a lot of fun in previous years when some of the California friends have come to join us for a round or two, it would be great if we could do it again.  Please let me know if you're interested

Assuming you are striking the ball in the same place on both club heads, it means that the heads are different.  They have different sweet spots and hence different spin rates.  Most likely the Epic will benefit from hitting it lower/higher on the club face depending on its sweet spot and spin characteristics.

Do most golfers inherently cheat themselves? Sometimes I kind of watch what other golfers do and I notice the many ways they cheat themselves. I remember a couple of us walking away from a hole one day and from the corner of my eye seeing this guy finishing up and do two extra puts after he had already two putted and then later he says, oh hole x? Yeah, I two putted that. I simply think to myself, why do that? The way I look at it, you ain't fooling anyone but yourself. What you shoot is what you shoot no matter what you wrote down.

HAHA...I knew there must be a very simple secret that I had missed along the way! So when is your new "What you really need to buy to be great a golf" book coming out?

I typically play a Callaway GBB, 9 degree driver, with an "old man Bassara" E42 Lite shaft because, well... I'm old.  Regardless, today I tried using that same shaft on an Epic Flash 9 degree head.  Same settings on the shaft.   Two heads, same shaft.  I hit several, ok, a lot of range balls.  The results were.... "wonky", odd, but reasonably consistent.  Ball flights were very similar EXCEPT.... with the Epic the ball got out there 80% of the way it then "knuckleballed" or appeared to.  It really looked like it was a serious major league Phil Niekro knuckleball.   The overall distance was about the same for either head.  But the Epic flew very strange as the ball flight peaked.  The range balls were clean.  The weather consistent.  If I went back to the GBB, no knuckleball at the end.  Back to the Epic, knuckleball.  Normally in baseball you would equate a knuckleball that "lack of spin", by definition.  I assume.... this may be occurring here as well.   The first 80% of the ball flights were not noticeably different.  But to see a ball fly out most of the way and then noticeable move side to side, drop, seemingly randomly shudder in its flight is.... weird.  What don't I get ?
