You need to go see a good instructor.

You're trying to get from NYC to LA. By car. Without a map. On a bicycle.

Just get to the airport and buy a ticket. There might be three connecting flights, but it's the faster, surer way to get there.

Well when I came hear a year everyone said the best and easiest way to hit a golf ball successful was stack and tilt....I have to disagree I've read the book three times and have practiced my butt off.... I'm going to either quit playing or break down and see an instructor

If you want a small dose of tough love, you aren't doing it right. And it's not really a book for a raw beginner (nor is Hogan's book, really).

I'll re-iterate what I've told you several times now one more time: go see a good instructor. Don't see just anyone, don't see the cheapest guy necessarily - find a good one and commit to something.

It just would not be my starting point.

If you can't do lessons, video yourself and join the club here so you can get an evaluation.

You might try youtube for S&T, and www.stackandtiltgolfswing.com has beginner type videos.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
