Looks like some kind of driving iron - couldn't find anything on the net. Does anyone know?

Just to the right of the red stripe on the driver cover.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Perhaps it's a Ping Rapture driving iron - lines just look different.

Having a great conversation with myself here.

More likely this Callaway prototype utility.

During Scottish Open they went through the bag a bit on Sky Sports with his caddy. But I can not remember details at all. Perhaps someone else does.

It looks like it is the Callaway utility to me. Has anyone here ever used a driving iron? I assume you just get a lower ball flight than say a GI long iron?

Just the opposite, they help you get a higher ball flight, they have a lower center of gravity.

I just found out they are hollow. That would makes sense then.

Yeah, they're an alternative to the hybrid - different look at address and different turf interaction.

More geared for off the tee box than the turf I would imagine?

Of course, but hitting it as an iron, you hit the ground afterwards also.

I gotcha, I was just thinking they may be geared more for hitting it a bit higher on the face.  As in when they are tee'd up.

Hmmmm... You got me on that one, I'm not sure. Being that I suck and don't have the most consistent contact I really couldn't say...

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
