Yeah I've noticed that for a while now and wondered why.

Personally I like to set up with the ball in the middle of the clubface - looks right to me.

I also setup with the ball in the middle of the clubface, I have to have a solid visual before my backswing or else it just wont feel right.

Be careful of camera angles, they can distort this. At the range look at your ball and check your position with one eye open at a time. A lot of people suppress one eye or the other [kind of super dominant eye] and this can lead to your position not really being what you think it is.

I was working at our sister club when the Nationwide was there (Henrico County Open). And I was following one of my buddies Kip Henley (Big Break II winner) and one of his pairings hit a Clevand Hi-Bore off the deck on the tee box. I mean NO TEE or anything just dropped it and swung away. I can't remember his name but he was averaging 260-275yds or something crazy like that. It was amazing.

I hit the HiBore off the deck once. It took one swing and this was just as talk of the HiBore fairway woods were coming out. It convinced me that they were worth a look.

(And yes, even the shot off the deck went left. Everything with the HiBore went left on me.)

      Hybrids

      By p1n9183 ·

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.

      Hybrids

      I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.

      Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
