Well mother nature and I had a conflict of interest this weekend
We recieved about 1.5" of snow in one day...it was like friggen November here
And winds over 100 + mph - wow
So needless to say, I did NOT golf this weekend
I was almost nervous to go as well.....maybe more excited I guess
So an indoor practice session was in order

We headed to the Golf Dome here in the city for an hour session or so
Now i despise indoor golf.....just cant stand hitting off mats - but I made the best of this session
I was able to figure to my hook - I was coming OTT a bit and releaseing my hands to early
couple swings and everything seems to be back in order (thank god)
Played a few games w a buddy w the wedges - hitting to certain spots on the floor - it was actually really fun! (and man those new VR wedgies are soo nice!!!)

Didn't even pull driver - im just over this thing
It's out and a new "build" is on the way
I picked up a FUBUKI Tour x5ct Stiff (tipped 1.25") measuring 45" - so it will play closer to an X rather than a S
combined that w a brand new Bridgestone J33R head 9.5º - all the reviews were amazing on this head, so i had to try it out
the head is a super low spin and the shaft is about a low/mid traj. - the combo should be good
and of course wrapped in a Tacki Mac Itomic White grip (these things are amazing)

Sunday is suppose to be 15º Celcius and sunny....new time is booked for 11:46
Trying to get out and putt before the round, but its raining for the next 3 days.......man Mother Nature needs to get off my back already!

well we woke up to another snowfall last night....arrghhhh....
just a skiff, but still
weekend is looking great - actually Friday and on looks to be double digits and sunny (praying for that first round)

They're downgrading tonights storm - only 2-5 cm of snow and some rain during the day tomorrow (down from 15-20cm of the white stuff). Woot!! I'm glad I didn't cancel my Thursday tee time. Are the kids still saying "stoked"?

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.


rather than start a new blog, I thought i would come back to this one
my first round of the year will be tomorrow @ 12:30
its has been a VERY stressful week and work has pissed me off ALL WEEK!! aarrgghh..........
screw it, im takin the day off and voice mail will say "sorry you missed me, im in meetings all day w limted access to email and voice mail. I will return your call as time permits. Thanks for calling!" ............. hahahhah!!!!

so to get back out there is gonna be great
although we got pounded w rain, its suppose to be sunny, 18 degrees celcius and low winds - HELLO SHORTS! break out the whities!! haha!

I hit the practice green this morning, but dude was it cold....+2 and 20km/hr winds = -3 or so....i could only stay out for about 45 mins
my hands were numb and snot was runnin down my face
hit some puts and a fw 30yd and in chips.......starting to get some feel back, but tough to practice when ur hands are cold

so...IF i break 90 tomorrow i'll be happy!! hahahha!!!!!!
stay tuned....

PS - my Sens are up 1-0 against Erik's (iacas) Pens..........SAWEEET!!!!!!!......maybe he wont read this...hahha!
PPS - i have an official hcp now, registered w the CPGA and all......even though it's only my last 7 rounds of last year, its enough to enter tourny's
So as soon i get the proper 18 or 20 rounds in, I will see what it comes out as........lowest score of the 7 was 73 and highest was 78

    • You're right. I haven't really had an issue with this before, but it's definitely worth closing the legs a bit to see what happens. I've had 2 of these and never had this problem before. About 5 years of use between the 2. It's really odd. Yeah, I've always had a bit of inconsistency and misreads, but this is a new level. I did a baseline session last night, and all my of stack speeds had decreased by roughly 5-10 mph (with me throwing out the obvious garbage readings). Weirdly, the driver speed actually seemed to be right where I expected it. I guess maybe it's having trouble with the smaller head of the stack vs. a driver? Whatever it is, I think it's time for me to go with the stack radar.
    • @DeadManI used to use the Swing Speed radar and, in hindsight, it seems very unreliable.  As @iacassaid, it's prone to misplacement, and I'd sometimes get wildly different speeds from swing-to-swing: like a 103mph, followed by 118mph, then a 102mph, then a 114mph.  I didn't know any better at the time and thought that was normal.  I've since upgraded radars and the new speeds seem much more accurate/consistent. Also, Mike Carroll (FFG) used to have the SSR and he now calls it a 'random number generator'.  
    • I have it. Works good. As all things electronics, there are analog elements that can 'weaken' like the microwave signal emitting/receiving or the contact between it and conversion module, etc. Might be time for a new one.     P.S. I've had it for a few years. Other than replacing the battery haven't had any periods of wild reads.
