Just wanted to give a little praise out to Sam at Taylormade golf costumer service. I recently purchased some speed blade irons. They were steel shaft unlike my past 2.0 in graphite. I didn't think it would be much of a big deal. I have some arthritis in my hands and when I played about 4 days in a row. My hands were killing me. So I thought about putting some graphite shafts in which would be after market. I did some experimenting with my old clubs and new ones. The graphite shaft really felt better in my hands and inspecting the clubs a little closer I noticed they were stiff shaft which I am a reg shaft player. I know I looked at them when I bought them real close and I never saw or noticed the stiff shaft. Boy what a screw up on my part what a d??? a??.  So that was the decision maker. I was going to replace the shafts. I had one (kinda) pro tell me The heads were different between steel and graphite and if I switched them they wouldn't feel right??????? I have never heard that before. So I thought I would call T M and ask them. This is where I got a hold of Sam in customer service and asked him. He said no they were the same and I could do that with no problems. I also asked him some questions about shafts and he very politely answered. I then asked him if they could re-shaft them. I figured if the shafts were gonna cost me $20 to $30 anyways and if they didn't charge me much I would just have them do it. What Sam said next just blew me away. I had to asked him twice. He said why don't I just exchange them out for ya. After saying Really! your kidding a few times.. He said it would be no problem. He said he would send me a new set of clubs out and when I got them put my old clubs in the box and put the return number on the box and send them back to him. I even told him I had new grips on the clubs and he said if I could get them off just keep them which I did. With in 7 days I had a new set of clubs that fit me better. Free of charge. NOW THAT'S IS WHAT I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! THUMBS UP TO SAM & TAYLORMADE. That's why I have played T M clubs for years and will continue to play them for years to come. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SAM

That's good to hear. I don't think people should feel that a company has to do things like this (I'm not saying you did, you obviously didn't), but it's nice when they do.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
