That's funny. :) I wish the french tourist girl part was true. Got my ass kicked by a girl this past weekend. Was the second round of my club's match play tournament. Had just beat a young man the day before, totally unexpectedly. He's also a 5 handicapper, but definitely more consistent than I, better swing, etc. My flatstick and good driving really saved me. Anyways the next day I am slated to play this lady from the UK. She's a 13 handicapper. I definitely should not have gone out the night before till 5am, but there you have it. She beat me so bad, the match was over by the 14 hole...lololol. Now that is an asskicking.

Funny that you should say that. I just came back from the golf shop after trying the Rick Smith glove.

My head pro and I were discussing the Swing Glove one day and loved the idea, but $35 dollars and no way to transfer the mechanism to another glove.

How about using medical tongue depressors. They are flatter and longer than tees, and you can get about 100 of them for $5 from your local drug store.

I use the Rick Smith swing glove along with a Momentus Swing Trainer. I take 5 minutes once or twice a day to do the short drills. Hadn't hit a ball in a month, went out yesterday and shot an 81, on a hilly, unfamiliar course, hitting the ball better than I was at the end of last year. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the combo.

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.


I think the medical tongue route may be the best route. Sounds like a plan.

    • While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?

    • By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.
