Hi everyone,

I live in Mechelen, Belgium and playing golf since October last year. Saturday is my second qualifying game, I hope I can improve my handicap. My dream is to travel and play on the many beautiful golf courses around the world en meeting other passionate golfers. Looking forward to reading your posts and advice.

Welcome fellow countryman.  Looking at your nickname, I can't help but wonder if you are in IT / Linux by any chance ?

Great place indeed... especially Oostende and Bruges.  We sailed an ISAF World Championship there and enjoyed Belgium and her people.  I will never forget an elderly man who came up to me and said, "American?"  I said yes and he smiled and said, "We will never forget -- thank you."  He was apparently alive during WWII.  It was an unexpected and touching scene.  I was also told that what we call French Fries originated in Belgium and should be called Belgium Fries.

Enjoy your golf here and whereever you travel.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
