... my first thought is holy S**T that thing is going to have to be cleaned with a brush after every shot - the base is so busy with all kinds of crevices & slots, it will get packed with all kinds of dirt and mung.

I just wish hybrids and fairway woods would have a smooth featureless base ... wouldn't look cool enough I guess when everybody is making this kind of club today:

Yeah it is pretty "busy".  I know I get tired of pulling the grass out of the slot of my RocketBallz 3 wood every time I hit a shot off the deck.

But wait, aren't you supposed "try and hit UP on the ball so you don't hit the ground"? ;-)

I always heard you hit hybrids like long irons. :scared:

As for woods - I can't hit up or sweep them ... creates a hook for me - hit slightly down on those too to straighten them out.   I guess it all boils down to preference ...

Yep, a car speaker. My hybrid is a Cleveland Launcher with Glide Rails. I'm sure it helps a little, but maybe more so subconsciously.

I put a brush in my bag recently.

Yup, unless you frequent courses where someone washes them after the 18th hole is done. :-P

Yep, a car speaker.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that resemblance. I spent way too much time working on car stereo systems in my car I think.

Meh. A wet towel will get everything important and you can detail it when you get home. If you are in to that sort of thing. And admit it.

Eh, grooves and chunks of mud get cleaned but if you cleaned the mud out of the sole of your club every time, you'd spend half your day cleaning. My home course stays soft.

      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.
