i use my 9i only b/c when i had my pings, the loft on my 8i is now the same as it is on my 9i.

In my Titleist 2014 9.5" Staff bag:

Cobra Bio+ 9* Matrix White Tie X  - Taylormade SLDR 15* ATTAS 80X - Titleist 910H 19* ATTAS 100X - Taylormade '13 TP MC 4-PW PX 6.5 - Vokey TVD M 50* DG TI X100 - Vokey SM4 55 / Vokey SM5 60* DG TI S400 - Piretti Potenza II 365g

8I generally for a true roll.  If it's downhill or a fairly short distance, then I'll use something more lofted, but that depends on the situation.

I never use anything under my pw I always seem to hit it way to far, I feel like I have no touch with an iron, When I use my pw I normally get it down pretty quick and normally do about a 25%air 75%run. but can do the 50/50 if need. My short game is actually the best part of my game I love to practice chipping. I normally try and spend about two hours a week on my chipping now only if I could spend that much time on my driver and consistantly hit that.

I said LW, but learning how to chip with a lower-lofted club is one of my goals...one that has me hitting shots through various configurations of my apartment with 8i, PW and LW.

My basement setup is so simple. I chip with each club from LW to 3-iron into a flexible soft plastic laundry basket (laid on its side) at different distances. The basket sort of collapses so the ball must be rolling before it gets to the basket (or sometimes I try to fly the ball into the narrow opening).

I also have a drill with long irons and a cardboard box that's best tried when the wife is away (involves ballistics).

I use my 7-iron and treat it pretty much like a putt.  It can sometimes depend upon the shot though.  If Im on the edge of the green and its a green with a downhill slope, I will pull out the LW, pop the ball into the air so that it just catches the edge of the green and then less the slope draw the ball towards the hole.

Whats in my :sunmountain: C-130 cart bag?

    • Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month. 
    • Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough. 
    • Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.  
    • Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft. 
    • That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
