After getting my handicap down to ~10 this year I bought a set of Mizuno MP-58's and turned out my swing wasn't ready for these clubs and needed something more forgiving. I picked up a set of Mizuno JPX800's on ebay and although they played pretty good I don't think the shafts were right. Thanksgiving week I bought a Titlest 913D2 driver and fell in love with it.

So, I decided that I would jump on board with Titlest and got fitted for a set of AP1's. I picked them up last Saturday and to go along with them I got a 910F 4 wood and a 910H 19* hybrid and also a vokey 56* SW. I played Sunday morning without hitting any balls with the new clubs. Scraped it around for a 81, not bad considering it was the first time swinging these sticks. Now to become a complete homer, I'm shopping for a Titleist bag. Merry Christmas to me

Very nice pickups -

I hit the 913D2/Basarra and was impressed - it seems more accurate and had length similar to my Adams 9088/Fuji Blur. To me, it's a curious thing to mention accuracy - a big head on a stick with a nice shaft, but it had something.

I'm waiting for the Adams and TM Drivers - it just seems that different drivers with similar specs still get different results.

I did purchase two Bobby Jones-Ortiz 2012 Hybrids - beautiful clubs redesigned with a much larger, deeper more forgiving head that frames the ball beautifully.

Other than a driver, I might change shafts in fairway woods as my senior swing is now in the 90 mph range with driver.

Ping G400 Max 9/TPT Shaft, TEE EX10 Beta 4, 5 wd, PXG 22 HY, Mizuno JPX919F 5-GW, TItleist SM7 Raw 55-09, 59-11, Bettinardi BB39

If/when the Ping Nome starts acting up I will, but I love the Nome and it's staying in the bag for now.

I'm waiting on the Nike VRS Covert to come out - hoping that it features some of the input from Tiger and Rory - though suspect it was designed long before that was announced...Going to just swap my current Razr Fit from golfredefined for the VRS Covert early next year.

I may possibly make a ball change as well, to Titleist, of course. I've been playing the Srixon Z-Star and the best thing I like about the ball is the way it putts. I've tried ProV1 and V1x in the past and really didn't care much for either ball, so yesterday I was at Dick's and picked up a dozen of the new NXT tour. I'll try them this weekend.

I also ordered a Titleist lightweight cart bag, should be here on the 19th.

The Bridgestone guys stopped by my course this summer, and I got a ball fitting with my driver. According to the comparison, their e6 should go 12 yards farther than my TF Gamer .

Only question is, will the e6 have any stopping power. Don't get me wrong, I don't back the ball up except on occasional full short iron shot. But, I want at least a little check spin - hit and release a couple of yards.

I got a dozen e6 on sale, and will do a nine-hole Gamer vs. e6 test on a warm afternoon.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I've tried the e6 and and got about a clubs worth of added distance and the stopping power seemed okay. The thing I didn't like was the way it putted, like it would come off the putter face hot sometimes, and sometimes not.

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.
