I have been playing a set of Titleist 695cbs that are shortened a 1/2 inch because I have pretty long arms. I was just wondering, how does this affect the swing weight since they were originally D2?

Dminn23,

Reducing the overall length of a club by a half inch will cause a six point loss in swing weight. This is more than enough for the average golfer to feel. This could have a drastic effect on your tempo and timing, or it could have none. Give them a try and see. If you're not hitting the ball as consistently as you would like, I would use cork and tungsten powder to get some weight into the hosels of the irons (2g equals one swing weight point).

      One Swing With Many Clubs, or One Club With Many Swings?

      I think mixing and matching makes you a better golfer over all.  Having said that, I don't do enough of it.

      Playing a tournament out in Vegas the first weekend in May. I've been playing this tournament since 2009.  Our tournament is hosted at Bear's Best.  I'll probably grab an additional practice round somewhere else in the Vegas area. Not sure where. Any suggestions?  So far around Vegas the ones I can remember I've played are:  Bear's Best ... obviously Prim Valley Resorts ... 20 years ago it was awesome, then it was bought and sold like 4 times.  Angel Park. ... Great deals. Not a bad course, 36 holes plus a 13 hole lighted executive par-3 course. It has a solid practice area. It gets a lot of play.  Wolf Creek ... I freaking love Wolf Creek, but it's 80 miles North, so a bit of a drive. ... Also, you can only hit irons on the driving range, which is interesting.  All three Paiute Golf Courses  ... I really enjoy Paiute as well. The Wolf course is my favorite, but you can't go wrong with any of them.  Bad Lands (Been closed down for a while now) ... Not my favorite, but gone now anyway.  Vegas National ... Surprisingly reasonable in terms of price. Also surprisingly forgettable.  Cascata ... I enjoyed it. But man, it's spendy. (A foursome can cost you $2500 all in.) They do give each group a forecaddie, so there's that.  Anyone have a suggestion as to where to play in and around Vegas. Let me know. My group is always looking for new places to play a practice round.

      One Swing With Many Clubs, or One Club With Many Swings?

      Same, I rather be able to mix and match to get the ball flight I want. Chip a 9 iron or crush a 9 iron. It gives a lot of flexibility. It makes golf more fun.

      Swing or Hit?

      By saevel25 ·

      Most feels need to be extreme.  Example, I have to feel like my hands go down towards my right ankle or right hip pocket from the top of the backswing. I HATE IT! But the club gets on plane in the downswing. It is stupid difficult for me to do because of my old patterns. So, I may need to SLOW it down to be able to do it.  You have spent years ingraining movements that feel natural. So, if you are feeling a golf swing that feels normal, you are 99% likely using the old swing. It sucks, but you will need to make things uncomfortable till they become comfortable.  I can't find the video, but Tiger mentioned once, and I am getting the general of the quote not exact, but the feel of like 2-3 FT of clubhead position in the backswing is like 3" of real position change. There are videos of him exaggerating movements, and when he takes a normal swing, it is nothing like what he is exaggerating.    That isn't him making swing changes. That his him just being able to time up path to clubface more consistently.  At a certain point we should be able to move the body without needing to look at the body part moving. This is why training with mirrors can be a double edge sword. It is great to be able to see where the club is at, but in reality, you are not training your body to do that without looking at it. Sometimes you need that initial feedback to get things started.
