  1. hey saevel im pretty sure my AoA with the driver is downwards thus hitting too high on the face...i checked my impact marks and seems like the top 1/3rd of the golf ball would be above the crown at impact (plus, im breaking my tees) so youre saying that its high launch with high spin? i thought that the higher you go on the clubface it reduces spin thanks
  2. im hitting wayyy too high on the face with my driver and the ball is going about 240 yards carry- with a real high ball flight (hitting relatively center of the face horizontally) fyi my distance with my 3 wood is 250ish carry with a piercing ball flight my 7 iron is around 170 carry i know this is caused by hitting the driver with a downward angle of attack but what does this mean regarding spin? does this mean that im getting too much spin or too less? is this called ballooning? thanks
  3. almost everywhere i read says you will lose several yards if you go up in flexes. but i guess your right...if im swining it the same speed it shouldn't change
  4. hey guys, i tried out the same 7 iron in R, S, and X flexes at a hitting bay the other day and they were all going very similar distances (between 170-180) at 85-90 mph ss. i thought as you go up in flex the distance should get lower (and yes dispersion was obv better with the stiffer flexes). I was trying the Mizuno JPX 825 Pro forged irons what's going on here?
  5. hey all, im currently playing a cavity back set of irons in regular flex...however my swing speed is around 110 and carry the 9i about 150 yards. im playing extra stiffs in my woods and can hit it long and straight but my long irons are going right. even if i try to grip the iron closed or even when i don't swing out to in and swing in to out-staring the ball right of target...its still curves right. would this be a problem with my swing or is the shaft flex too soft for me any thoughts or tips?
  6. im playing my rbz 10.5 driver but lowered to the 9 degrees setting. this means that the face will open up slightly... is there a way to counterbalance this? possibly lead tape?
  7. i'm stuck between these 3 similar shafts- low spin low launch- also similar price. i'm leaning towards the grafalloy bimatrix prototype s 65g and 2.0 torque- but worry it may seem too boardy any thoughts?
  8. hey all im planning on getting a new after market shaft online and have never installed a shaft before. it comes without the grip or adapter. can anyone tell me what i will need to do once i have the grip, adapter and shaft? from my understanding...I will have to put on the grip then put epoxy on the shaft tip and put the adapter on and wipe away the epoxy. is this true and all i need to do? thanks!
  9. hey all i am planning on getting a new shaft for my driver without getting a fitting...i am currently at Regular flex and can get the ball around 270 yards and want to go up in shaft to increase my accuracy and feel. if i go up to a stiff or an xstiff will i lose distance? thanks in advance
  10. Hey, I've sent my cobra amp irons to the local pro shop for a 3/4 of an inch added to the clubs. I am 6ft2 and my wrists to floor measurement is about 38 inches. Can anyone tell me without looking at my swing if it would be a must to get a lie adjustment? Ps.yes I do know that the best way to find out is to get fitted but id just like a general answer
  11. when i swing my irons 3/4 it has a better trajectory and distance than when i swing fully why is this? am i not accurate when i swing fully?
  12. when im hitting my irons at the range, im getting 2 different impact feels for the straight balls... there is the straight and mid trajectory ball which feels and sounds like a small pop- which I know is dead flush and pure but im also getting a more harder blunt feel/sound that has a lower trajectory which still goes straight- I know for sure im not hitting the ball centre where is the ball meeting the club face for the blunter and harder ones? is it bad to get that blunt noise?
  13. lets say that i go golfing with a friend of mine and my girlfriend wants go follow along only to watch. would she have to pay a green fee to step on to the course?
  14. apart from looks which I don't mind, what do you guys think about the putter? i am thinking of buying it used and it seems like a decent putter. all i've read from other reviews are regarding its looks... its the 2003 model- any thoughts?
  15. does anyone know of a good trusted site to get lots of cheap golf balls? doesn't matter if they are used but would like a decent brand.
  16. would it be fair to say that there is an error in the swing even if you make nice contact and good ball flight but create no divot?
  17. i recently purchased a new iron set with 3 and 4 hybrids, and although i dont really have a hard time swinging long irons, decided to get the hybrids. should my swing for the hybrids be identical to how i would swing an iron?
  18. need to buy new irons but i'm stuck between these two both are about the same price any recommendations?
  19. got mine today, and posted my review! this is an awesome product but would be even better if it were in color and was to be a bit heavier. nonetheless, this will def help in speed, lag and muscle strengthening and will be excellent for beginners
  20. Hi guys, I plan to get new clubs but used ones...but I also want to get a custom fitting session. Would it be better to get used clubs and then go in for a fitting/adjustment session? Or, go in for a fitting session, get the results and look for similar clubs? -I've never been custom fitted before fyi Thanks!
  21. hi guys, does anyone know what the next best mizuno alternative to the mizuno mp-53 irons are? would they be mp-h4 or 825 pros? thanks!
  22. guess i'll probably go for the mizunos
  23. hey guys, has anyone had any experiences with burner 2.0 or mp h-4s irons? although my handicap is high, im not such a bad iron hitter. im pretty accurate and getting the ball high and far isn't too much of a problem (of course with game improvement irons) i'm having difficulties choosing between mizuno h4s or jpx 825 pros, which i can get for very cheap from a friend (half the orig. price), or buying burner 2.0s which I've tested briefly and liked. its either cheaper slightly used mizunos which aren't totally for my level but i intend to reach over this summer OR burner 2.0s that are at my level for about the same price. pls help me choose :)
  24. hey guys, i need some help getting more distance by putting some oomph in my downswing. i have been trying to hit the ball by letting my swing feel natural and powerless- a smooth upswing and a smooth downswing. by doing this, it travels a decent distance but during my time at the range, i get these odd balls where i put in a bit more power and it flies 15-20 yards farther. however, i don't know exactly how i did this. can someone please explain to me, on what part of the smooth and easy downswing i should put in the force? is it right before impact? i can't seem to combine both smoothness and power together for example, 9i can sometimes go 110 yards when i put in just power or easy swing or up to 140 yards when both are combined
  25. hey guys, i was wondering...(esp regarding irons) what are the cons of game improvement clubs that are usually for people with high handicaps? what are the actual differences compared to a higher-end forged irons? thanks!
