Quite honestly, I think people who dip, smoke, or even drink alcohol excessively are - in that small part of their life - incredibly stupid.

I agree...however I'm proud to say I'm 23 and have never even tried smoking once!

Amen!!! I totally agree. It is just sometimes hard to practice what you preach!!! Sort of like my golf swing, but I am trying to improve in both areas!

In my bag:

Driver: R7 SuperQuad
Woods: RPM LP 3W & 5W
Irons: MX-25 4-SWPutter: Detour

I think the key is the word "excessively". An occasional cigar during a round (light up around 7 and enjoy through the turn) or a single glass of JW Green after a round is why I am coming back to golf. We are grown-ups participating in a grown-up activity and we can do grown-up things. The key being not "excessively".

But no spitting on the green.

I'm a dipper and proud of it! on top of that, i use pouches... not because i'm a pansy or anything, but because i don't like the stuff getting stuck in my teeth like a bad piece of asparagus.... also, when i start laughing, the pouch won't start spreading all over my mouth, forcing me to swallow some, and getting sick....

    • 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?
