I just got a brand new set of glubs over the past week. I am also new to this forum so this is my way of saying hello to everyone. I have been playing for about 10 years and unfortunately last year my family and I ran into hard times and I had to sell my clubs and hang my golf shoes up for a while. Now that things are back to normal ( i think), my wife let me go and start the process of building a new set. So far I got a great deal on a set of Taylormade burner 2.0 hp irons that hit great. Taylormade white smoke putter, Taylormade Superfast 2.0 9.5 degree driver, and Taylormade superfast 2.0 3 wood. I am currently testing wedges right now. My iron set only goes down to AW 50 degrees. I can only afford one wedge right now and I am leaning towards the Vokeys. I just have no idea on what degree wedge should be my next club. I am leaning towards a 56, or a 58. Good to be hear everyone hope to make a few friends here.

Well my set is now complete. Just spent about 2 hours at the golf shop and tried out tons of wedges while a club fitter monitored me on the launch monitor. He was actually very surprised that the wedges I hit the most consistent and the farthest was the wedges from the Adams Tom Watson set. The club fitter told me there was no reason to buy more expensive vokeys since I hit these the best. I saved alot of money today by not going by impulse and buying three Vokeys. Instead i took the smarter sensible route and came out very happy.

My uncle plays the Tom Watson classic wedges and loves them. I think he got them in a set of 3? Welcome to the site.

      The Pro Tours Random Thoughts and Musings Thread

      That's part of why faster greens reward better putters. Given time to acclimate, golfers of any level (not talking about utter beginners or people who can't break 100 often) putt better on faster greens.

      Smoother greens rewards better putters. The faster the green, the bigger the error in distance control. But, if you make the greens too slow good players are not used to hit the ball that hard so it can make them struggle a bit.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11 (August 21).  Practice session this morning;  chipping for a while (focusing chips that aren't "on the number" for me --- I'm very comfortable with 20 and 25 yard chips, less so with 15 and 10).  Then full swing work, shared a small bucket.  For my share, I was focusing on setup and where I'm aiming.  It dawned on me that I've been hitting some really nice drivers and woods lately, as far as contact, flight, and distance, but not getting them where I want them to go, and the conversation from yesterday's Spin Axis podcast (nice to finally be caught up!) made me realize I wonder if I'm adjusting my aim for the difference in swing path.  I definitely put my woods closer to my intended target line today;  not sure if that means I'm adjusting for a pull or aiming correctly though. 😕

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By elementz · Posted

      Tied my season low with a 79 at an away course.  Nothing spectacular on the front (3 pars, 6 bogeys), but on the back I had 3 birdies (should have been 4 as I missed a putt from 5').   This round almost dropped one full shot from my index....from a 13.4 to a 12.6   Also....just a on side note, I have a consecutive 72 hole streak currently on playing the same ball.
