Here in Connecticut we got about an inch of slush last night, with another 2-4 inches tonight. Leaving for DC on Saturday for work, followed by 2 weeks in Florida. 3 rounds planned so far. Just hope I don't pull something after a long winter without full swings!

I think it's too late for that. . .

Those pictures make it look so enticing, I might even have to come up to Vancouver from So. Cal. !

Play shorter tees.

By shorter tees do you mean the old wooden 2-1/4" long ones? Those work well with irons on short holes.

Kentucky got creamed last night, but up here barely a dusting. Driving in I saw honest-to-god grass. Two cold days and then we are promised a thaw. At the risk of the jinx, I'm feeling slightly less depressed.

YES! Awesome idea! I hope @ay33660's fridge is stocked.

Okay everyone, let's not freeload too much. Everyone who goes has to bring a 6 pack of a decent ale or beer to cover the living costs and such. :roll:

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
