Hi all, my name is Stuart, Im from England and im an electrician by trade. A little bit about me....
I started playing golf at the age of 14 and within a few years got down to a handicap of 9.
My first set of clubs were Ram FX with graphite shafts, followed by a set of Ping i3 'Blades'.
Unfortunately due to membership costs and doing an apprentiship I had to quit golf at 18 and didnt go back to the game for 3 years!
I remember when the Mizuno mp-33 blades came out and a guy I knew as a junior had a brand new set, I was so jealous, they looked amazing!
After 3 years I got an invite to a round of golf, I went to the local range every night for a week and managed to shoot a 7 over par 79! Couldnt believe it, it even had two drops from the bushes....
Anyhoo, I only manage to play about 5 times a year which i shoot around about a 15 handicap, not great but not bad i dont think.
I treated myself to some mint condition Mizuno mp-29's from ebay for £125 absolute bargain, 2-pw, s400 and an inch longer that standard shaft.
Im 6'2 but thinking about getting the shaft sized correctly as i believe an inch is too long for someone my height....?
Back to the blades.... in theory i shouldnt be playing these, but I absolutely love them! Im yet to get out on the course but at the range they are so sweet, hit a bad one and i know it, hit a good one and I cant wait to hit the next!
Well, thats all there is to know about me and my golf, I look forward to reading about everyone elses problems and reading lots of reviews!
Stuart

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
