I think getting used to playing a hybrid is a really good thing. I use my 20 degree as a utility club mainly and man is this thing clutch when I'm in some rough with a decent distance left to carry. It's just really effective at getting through some heavier thicker grass to still impart a lot of club head speed to the ball. There are a few times when I hit it off of the tee as well when my 3 wood is a bit too much and it can shine there as well. It's honestly really really hard for me to do anything but hit the ball dead straight with this thing.

Guys,

I really appreciate all the help.

I have managed to source a TaylorMade Spider Mallet putter locally, in good condition and only £20. So think I will grab that tomorrow and stick with what I have for now.

Many thanks for all the assistance :) - Tried out the Rapture V2 driver last night, and there is a massive difference when compared to my current driver, hope the irons and hybrid feel the same! :)

That’s a heck of a find on the putter.

Is it good then? I was only going to get it as a stop gap until I could find a decent one cheap! 

My current one is unbranded and just can’t judge it well! 🙈

 

just gone for 9 holes! My god these clubs make a massive difference! Keep sending it to the right with the driver, but not bad apart from that!

Thanks!

Depends on which version exactly as to how great of a pick up but probably still a good find if even one of the cheaper options.

Sounds like someone has a shot pattern :-) 

It keeps going right with the driver?  How many holes can you aim at the left fairway or even left rough off the tee and not be in serious trouble if it goes straight and also if you get the curve you typically get?  If you keep sending your driver right, and you mean something like "30 yards right" and not like "100 yards right," that's not a problem.  Yeah, tighter dispersion would be nicer obviously, but you have a good start.

Thanks, managed to stop it travelling as far right by tweaking my grip. Getting a lot more consistent now but still big improvements to be made. 

 

Putter plans have changed, ended up with an Odyssey 2 ball fang! Hopefully I like it, but cant complain considering it was a friends old one!

Opted for the GMax due to age and a physical handicap.  Forgiveness made the game a LOT of fun as I learn to get the best out of these clubs.

    • Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

    • Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.
    • This is a great discussion. Other parts of the course where there are houses have white stakes and signs. This keeps people from trespassing and hitting shots on their property. There is another county road on the east side of the course that does not have white stakes like the hole I described. I checked the score card and there is nothing to indicate these roadways are OB. I think a county drainage ditch would be considered government right-of-way so it is the peoples land 🤣. But you are in the power industry and know more about those sorts of things than me.
