Hello everyone, just joined the board and wanted to introduce myself. Have played golf for the past twenty years, but laid for the last five and just getting back into it. I originally took up the game since my father was a golfer and all I remember is watching all the those old tournaments on T.V. when I was kid. You know the ones where they all wore those outrageous pants. :)

Anyway, getting back into it. Had a set of custom clubs made a few months ago and have been pounding balls at the range almost everyday. Have been on the course a few times, but my short game sucks. So I am working on that now.

Just went out today and picked up another set of used irons at the local golf store since I like taylormade products, I went with the a set of used RBZ's. Took them to the range and love them! So now I am pretty set up with the equipment, just need to keep working it out.

The best thing I did is when I started playing again was took a half of dozen lessons from a teacher out at the range. Things are getting better each day.

    • Day 359 - Mostly worked on chipping/pitching today. 
    • Day 11 - Hoped for a range session but sadly a home improvement project went on three times as long as it should have. So more mirror work today.
    • Day 179: did some mirror work while watching the playoff game. Working on the early backswing stuff. It’s looking pretty good I think. 
    • There are several things to unpack here.  First, start a MySwing Thread. It's always tough to help anyone out without seeing their swing.  Second, if you have a "big 2 way miss" and your "all over the face". There isn't a driver that's going to fix that. ... If there was the USGA or the R&A would ban it.  Third, The PING G LST is a great driver. ... just my opinion. But I think its a great driver. I'm not a fan of how it sounds, it's loud, but it performs great.  Forth, I would never cut down a shaft without a fitting. Just choke down a bit. Lots of folks, even some tour pros choke down a bit on the grip.  Fifth, why do you want to hit a pull fade?  Sixth, do you have a swing coach? I'm a firm believer in getting coaching as regularly as you can.  Seventh, I think waiting on a fitting until you feel you've achieved some consistency is a good idea. Again, on this note, work with your swing coach. He or she can help tell you when your ready to get fit for a new driver.  Finally, I think chasing better drives by constantly changing drivers is folly. Drivers are so good now a days, if yours is less than 5 years old it's probably fine. Having said that, if you like shiny things ... and I do... then go for it. Tinkering with your equipment can be fun. I know I like to make some changes in what's in the bag now a again.  Let us know how you get on. 
    • You need to push into it, not let it push you forward toward the ball. Stand with your left hip 1" away from a countertop and make a simulated swing there, where your left hip doesn't touch the countertop.
