What's a snake draft? I, like ChetlovesMer am looking forward to this one. Good drills and bad ones sounds interesting and informative.

Bounce and a roll but it gets on in one on a 200 yard hole so I’m counting it. I’ve been trying that hole with a 3 iron and feeling insufficient so I more or less gave up and started taking the 3 wood with me. Last two times were within 8’ of the pin so it got me thinking maybe I can play this game. Doesn’t take much to pop that bubble though.

Yeah is the 3 wood 200 carry or is it 175 with roll out?

Day 172 - 2025-03-21 Got an hour of work done on the backswing and transition after an early morning lesson and before some later lessons.

For your price range I'm not sure why you are limiting yourself to Callaway. Callaway drivers hold their value better than a lot of other brands which truthfully are pretty equivalent.  Firstly, if you are hitting your 3 wood 200 yards at your age that's phenomenal. Keep your Burner.  Secondly, if you do want new different woods,  at your price range I'd look to Wilson, Tour Edge, and Cleveland. Their woods don't hold their value well at all. But they are perfectly good clubs. You can in all likelihood get a closer to current model if you consider non-Callaway clubs.  As @Typhoon92 mentioned, roll into your nearest Play-It-Again-Sports and you'll likely find something in your price range.  Lastly, be patient. A lot of times you can test your buddies clubs. A lot of guys at the range will ask other folks at the range "Hey, how do you like blah blah blah...." Most guys will let you hit their clubs if you are patient you may stumble across an older model you really like. I've literally sold one of my clubs at the range to a guy for 50 bucks. I've seen other guys buy clubs off guys at the range. You just never know. Your Taylormade Burners really aren't bad clubs so unless you are going for something fitted, I'd suggest taking your time.  Anyway, good luck
