Got my Newport 2 used from GG for $130. Looks basically brand new too.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

Got mine as a present for my 17th by a couple of friends. They ordered it online from a European store.

Holy crap that's awesome. I thought I was lucky to get an Adams Pro Black hybrid and a Scotty for $150.

So far I'm loving it. I need to put a big emphasis on so far because I've only been able to practice with it indoors with 7 footers or shorter.

I love the look of it and it feels much softer than I would have expected. I also like that you get a bit more feedback, making it easier to "feel" a mishit.

As of now, this is going straight into my bag when I'm able to get out on the course.

    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image):
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
    • Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
