What a difference some time off can make! For a few weeks I'd been playing terrible, hit all sorts of wayward shots, chunks etc. I got so frustrated (as you do) I decided to de-tox for a bit over a week. For 9 days I didn't touch a club. Went out and practised, and found I was hitting the much better, and swinging differently. Went out yesterday and shot +8 (which is actually my best score) Feeling much better about golf now :)

I shot the best 9 hole score of my life on the first round of the season after not playing for 7 months in the winter. I was 2 under going into 9 and finished the 9 holes at even par and went on to shoot and 80.

:whistle:

Your irons

"Great for sweet-spot hits," this baby "works the ball like a forgiving blade," but "mis-hits are harsh." "Fat shots end up short and thinned ones can run twice the intended distance" on this "attractive," "great feeling," "solid," "distance hitter." It's "better for low to mid handicappers," which explains why so many reviewers lamented that they "are not skilled enough to deserve them."

If +8 in 9 holes is your best round ever those dont sound like the clubs meant for you. Just saying.

Ah, it was +8 in 18 holes.  I was +6 thru 5, got it back to +5 for the front. Shot +3 on the back (bogeying 17 & 18).

I usually hover around my handicap (12) Just been off lately... My irons are usually ok, but I average around the 33 putt mark and miss a lot of fairways.

    • First going to spain for a long weekend in March probably going to play La Quinta, Los Arqueros and Fina Cortesin, and first week in May will compete in the Crawsnest Tassie at Carnoustie golf links, that will be a full week of golf golf golf and more golf. Did play it last year for the first time and it is awesome.
    • Scrubs is coming back to ABC. February 25.
    • Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well. 
    • I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
