  1. I checked it out, and it said I should be using extra stiff according to my 150 yard club (not sure about torque, I'll have to go get my measurements), would that by any chance give me more distance, especially with my woods?
  2. I'm 15 and 6'1 and the only advantage I seem to have is power. I can generate more power with less effort, but I have trouble drawing the ball. Of course, this could be nothing but a swing flaw on my part, but all of my shorter friends have a mean draw and have trouble fading, while I have a great fade but can't draw well. It may be because I have a much steeper swing plane.
  3. I tried the URL and it didn't work. Says the website's down :( Will do, I'll try to get somewhere in the next few weeks to do that! I'm only 15. Haha. I just prefer control over distance so I slowed my swing speed down considerably.
  4. My driver, 3 wood, and 5 wood are all equipped with stiff flex shafts, but I have a 3 hybrid with a regular flex shaft. This year I'm aiming at slowing down my swing a bit and focusing on solid contact. I haven't gotten to actually measure my swing speed yet, but I've noticed that when I hit a nice pure shot with my irons or hybrid it goes 5-10 yards farther than usual, with my 3 hybrid going about 220, even with only a 75-80 percent swing. But, my 3 wood is going only about 200 with just as solid contact, and it should be going about 260. My drives seem to only be going 240-250 when they used to go 290-300 pretty easy, even with a the huge slice I used to have. I have had a few snap hooks with these upper clubs, and I am slicing it a LOT less, but I feel like I'm overswinging on the tee. Should I wait till the year goes on and gradually speed my swing up or get regular flex shafts so I don't have to overswing with these clubs?
  5. I went out and played nine today after school, I played absolutely terrible in my eyes. I shot a 41, which doesn't sound bad at first, but I only hit 2 fairways and 2 greens. On the 3rd, a downhill 150 yard par 3 with a TINY green, I hit a pitching wedge dead at the pin, about 10 feet short, and 3 putted. Did the same thing on the other par 3. Everything for me was terrible today except distance.
  6. I've been Playing Golf for: 13 years My current handicap index or average score is: 6 Handicap, average score is 76-78 My typical ball flight is: Med-High Straight but I also have a strong fade and use it often The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I have a tendency to pull my irons, especially when I hit them pure, which is becoming more and more often [rule] Videos: I can't embed off of my phone so here's a link:/B] [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/s-HYMWdND0w[[/VIDEO]
