I try to play twice a week, 52 weeks a year. Even I don't get the time to practice in between rounds. I'm going out tomorrow morning without swinging a club for a week which I'm sure will be disastrous. But, it's still better than not playing!

Axing Norman as the captain because he prefers Omega to Rolex is a joke. Sad that he will no longer involved in the tournament.

Vr Tw Blades are sweet :)

In my fitting it came down to the razr and the 913, I only went for the Titleist for it's bigger head. Averaged further distance on off centre hits.

So I went to my driver fitting yesterday with my heart set on yhe SLDR. I tested it, PING G25, Callaway Razr fit and the Titleist 913. It was ruled out in the first round of hitting averages which surprised me. Get a proper fitting. I went from hitting a Taylormade Rbz 10.5 in stiff and averaging 285 yards, 18 degree launch and 3900 rpm of spin with a 115 club head speed. My fitter found me 15+ yards more with an average from 305-299. My new Titleist 913 is set at 8.75 degrees with a adilia tour stiff shaft (extra weight, higher kick point). My average launch is down to an average of 11-12 degrees, 2900 rpm all with the same club head speed. Big changes but it works if you just trust 'em!

All distances in metres, I'll use google for the rough estimates in yards. Driver: 250 carry (275) 3Wood: 220-230 carry (245) 3I: 205 (225) 4I: 195 (215) 5I: 180 (195) 6I: 170 (185) 7I: 155 (170) 8I: 140 (155) 9I: 135 (147) PW: 120 (130) 52*: 105 (115) 56*: 90 (100) 60*: 80 (87)

That's only 200m right? I suppose you're right, if there is any sort of breeze hurting I'm hitting my 17* rescue haha.

I purchased blades early this year and added a club of distance. I can generate so much spin with them. My 4i often sits behind its pitch mark on long approaches. While my handicap may not reflect it, I have dropped 4 shots since gaming these clubs. My inconsistencies lie in the short game. Purchase whatever you feel confident standing over 220 out with a water carry and o.b behind :)

I discovered the sliding of hips in the downswing (awesome!) and have dropped from 18 to 14 in a month. Short game is holding me back, last round I had 10 GIR's and about the same three putts which is frustrating. Focusing on distance control with the putter at the moment and will hopefully be a single digit soon.

Agreed! I just trust my swing, even if it isn't agreeing with me at the time.

Two rounds a week most of the time, usually hit 100 balls at the range the day before I play, might squeeze in 4 hrs per week on the practice green chipping/putting split over a couple of days. I often arrive early before my tee time for more short game practice. The only time practice becomes too much, in my opinion, would be if you are further ingraining problems in your swing. Thus, making it harder to rectify these problems if/when you do decide to drop cash on a lesson.
