Aloha,

Couldn't commit to playing a full round of golf today, so I did the next best thing and went to the range.  Actually I stopped off at the golf store and picked up a new set of clubs on the way!  :)

I've sat through a couple fittings in the past couple weeks and the recommendations I got were kbs 90's, or project x 5.5 or 6.   Ironically enough during my fittings, the stock steel stiff shafts on the burner 2.0's actually felt the best to me.  I picked those up today and hit the range and it was a real eye opener.

Going from graphite to steel my tempo was way off.  My distance with the steel shafts were a few yards shy of my graphite regular shafts ( when going loft vs loft).  Miss hits felt like jolts of electricity running up my hand into my arms and body.  And callous' started to develop on my hands where they didnt normally with my graphite irons.

Are these normal growing pains going from graphite to steel?  Or are they more associated with going from a regular shaft to a stiff shaft?  I know its the first time hitting the clubs outside of golf shop, but I am still on the fence if I made the right decision to move from graphite to steel.  Thanks everyone for any advice!

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      Its way past time both tours  have  major  penalties for  slow  play. I  hate  it when they say" This group is  on the  clock". Big damn deal. Issue  penalties. Maybe Hull is a  bit too harsh but  its time a slew  of  2 stroke  penalties start  being  issued.     Charley Hull is fed up with slow play on the LPGA, so she offered a ‘ruthless’ solution “I’m quite ruthless, but I said, ‘Listen, if you get three bad timings, every time it’s a tee shot penalty; if you have three of them, you lose your Tour card instantly.’ I’m sure that would hurry a lot of people up, and they won’t want to lose their Tour card. That would kill the slow play, but they would never do that.” Who knows if that will work. But if it does not, maybe the PGA Tour should adopt Hull’s idea. The LPGA should, too, or at least assess penalty strokes for slow play. Five-hour rounds for a final group on Sunday is unacceptable and a quick way to lose interest and engagement from fans.

      A hair under 190. It was pretty downhill, though, so I think we were playing between 180-185 to the pin. My 6 iron went 187 according to shot scope and ended up 18 feet away.

      That's a tough pin on 14 at TR, had to make the hole play much longer, how far was that shot? I've only played that hole with a front pin.

      No, but I spent (marginally) less time in the trees at Southern Pines, so it definitely played wider for me 😆. It definitely felt wider.
