I have fallen into a severe slump. I have lost distance with all my clubs and feel no power in my down swing. The last few weeks I've added about 10 strokes per 9 holes. Here are some of my consistent problems: - weak slice with driver, ball flight is high and then turns right - 4 thru 7 irons: hitting thin shots to the right, some fat shots. Straight shots have major air time and not going as far - 8 thru wedges are very weak pop ups. Sometimes 8 and 9 irons go about 100 yds. I almost feel like that I cannot get off my right side. Should I take a break? I been playing golf 5 to 6 days a week this summer, along with range sessions. My body feels tired; could this have any affect on my ball striking problems? I have a lesson scheduled with a PGA professional one week from today. I hope he can diagnose the problem. The loss in swing speed really concerns me :~( I welcome any thoughts you guys may have.

I love you Nicole Aniston

sounds like you just flip at it and your timing is off lately.  I would love to be able to play golf that much but, I'm sure taking a couple days off even a week would help get you energized.

      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.
