Hello, am newbie about 3 months in, and feel really positive about my game and it's improvements... My driving though is like a toss of a coin, good or bad... One of my problems, is when I try and take what feels natural to me a backswing that is above my head (not parallel to the ground) but getting close, the swing plane goes all over the shop, and the shot is terrible!!, as compared to one much lower where I feel that I can be that little bit more consistant and straighter (hitting 200m on the full)...

My question is should I be practising the fuller or bigger swing plane, or focus on smaller swings with a driver?? I don't mind sucking for sometime for the longer view of improvement rather than a short term gain...

Love any thoughts here.

Cheers

      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.
