So far I've got 3 sets 06s, 99s and 79 IIs. I have to say 99s look the best but IIs I’m probably the best with the leading edge sits very well behind the ball and seems to encourage a clean strike. Have nothing against the 06 models I know Callaway design, can't seem to find too much out there on the history of the design. Any other favourites out there

What shaft do have in them, what's ur opinion o n the apex 4 shaft

I have Apex 4's in them.  To be honest I'm not exactly sure of the technology behind them.  I think they're similar to Rifle shafts from about the same time.  Like a Rifle 6.0.

The 74 were directors correct ? Yes apparently PC were not an easy club to hit

No, my '74's are Apex. The original Apex blade was released in 1972. Mine are the second year of the next generation of the Apex blade that ran from '73 - '78. Your avatar is an Apex II blade which I guess technically is the third generation of the Apex blade. I have a few of those sticks in my collection also, but not a full set. I also have a collection of Directors that were made from '74-'79 and they have some resemblance to a '73-'78 Apex blade.

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
