i only started playin in October with BLADES........HICKORY shafted blades at that and its been tough,but im startin to improve steadily,and figure some things out...........for me it was just how I wanted to learn the game.....i feel its not that playing blades makes me a better player but rather makes me a better player than i HAD to be.........its a fun challenge,and rather than being frustrated ,its got me HOOKED for life................and i gotta laugh,ive been paired up with guys who've been playin awhile,with MODERN clubs and ive matched em on the tee shots..........its a game,a HELL of a great game,and sooooooooooo much fun..........someday ill break 100.......and keep on goin from there i hope.................ill learn everystep of the way.....and have FUN doin it..................my $.02 -
my Tee shot on the FIRST whole i EVER parred(been playin since October).with the hardest club for me to hit in my bag,Cleek Iron(18*),perfect straight shot to edge of green,1 short putt,then 1 LONG putt and IN...........par my second hole,2 holes later.................all and all a great day.......shot 58 for 9.......................got the bug bad for this game

Which irons do you use?
knuckleballer71 replied to hypergolf's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Tad Moore And Louisville Golf Hickory shafted Irons.since ive never used anything else,i cant say as theres any cons to them,the guys ive been paired up with say "THEYRE BLADES!!! WHY MAKE IT SO HARD ON YOUR SELF? lol"on the pro side theyre a lot of fun -
14* on my Brassie

ALWAYS walk........NEVER ride..................in rain n snow alike....lol...........
-
as far as i know they are remolded modern balls,very low compression with the old style aerodynamics.........they seem to work a lil better than some of the modern harder balls ive used http://www.tommorrisclubs.com/clubdetails.php?cat_id=86
