  1. My personal preference is that both feel great, I just do not like the dot instead of the sight line. I just could not get good alignment with the Circa 62 so I sold it.
  2. I think this is what it was. I went to the range today and worked on a drill which takes the position at the top thoughts out of my head and just focuses on weight shift and getting to my finish. I hit the ball much better aside from the few hooks. Thanks for all the help keep them coming cause I always like new drills.
  3. You are talking about height not launch. More spin may climb high but has a lower launch angle. Like Erik said, if you have high spin with a high launch it will balloon like crazy. A low launch low spin ball may not stop on a green.
  4. I seem to be pushing everything right about 10-15 yards of target. No slice, just a straight push. I assume my swing is on the correct path and I am just not closing the face. Anyone have any drill that I can work on to get the club face closed or ideas of what else would be causing this. Thanks!!
  5. Because wedges get used so much that I only buy new wedges, and usually, I can get them locally at the same price after shipping as new wedges from Ebay. If I were to run across a new wedge that was for a good price, that would be another story. Good luck!
  6. I agree! I have only been scammed once on a $20 shaft and the other 30 items I bought off ebay were great. It is hard to pay that extra money to the golf store. I do buy some things from the golf store to stay in good graces with them, but clubs (other than wedges) come from Ebay.
  7. I go with a square back foot because I think it makes my right leg more solid and creates more torque in the back swing. I have never had a problem with not enough turn, maybe to much at times.
  8. One of my biggest faults in my swing is when I start to think about what my wrist is doing. I have found that if I have the proper posture and a smooth back swing, the wrist take care of themselves. Also, I found out through video that what I THINK is cupped at the top is really flat, and what I THINK is flat at at the top is really bowed. I am talking about my own swing and your may not be the same, but may be something to look in to. Good luck with the changes and be patient.
  9. First thing is that you are hitting golf balls with flip flops on. Tenis shoes, if no golf shoes, will offer better balance and stbility through the swing. Secondly, I strongly agree with reading a book to learn the fundamentals of the grip, stance, and posture. Third would be to make sure your weight is getting over to your left side and you are not hanging back through the swing. When you are just starting, I would suggest plenty of range balls focusing on posture and taking half swings. Good Luck!
  10. I am going to go back this weekend and hit some more putts with it and if it still strokes it well I will sell my Cameron Studio Stainless (plan to buy a Mid Slant Select) and buy the Spider in hopes that I get used of the look. If I can't, then will just sell it in July when I get my new Cameron. Thanks for the insight. I agree that if it lowers my score, I could get used to anything!
  11. Someone help! I went to the golf store today to hit the Odyssey White Hot Tour and the Cameron Red X3 to add a mallet putter to my bag for a bit of change every so often. I quickly ruled out the Odyssey, I just do not like the feel of the face. I was enjoying the Cameron until the store employee comes over and starts talking about the Taylor Made Spider. I hit a few putts with it and it was amazing. I was trying to mis-hit them on the toe and heel and it still rolled good. It felt very solid through impact and has a good weight to it so there is no loop in the stroke. BUT... it is UGLY, really ugly. I know that you do not make putts with the look of the club but that is a tough pill to swallow. Please someone tell me if you get used to the look of this thing after you start sinking putts with it. I will hit it a few more times to make sure it is as good as I think, but do not know if I will be able to get over the look.
  12. Grip: I tend to get my right hand to far on top of the club and my palms do not face each other. This causes me to not square the club face consistancy. When my palms face each other, I have a better feel for where the clubface is throughout my swing. Tempo: I tend to get to quick with my lower body which gets the club stuck on my downswing. Although I know I am not actually doing this, but the feeling is that my club beats my lower body through impact.
  13. I have a buddy that hits a big draw/hook. Recently he took a lesson and the guy told him he needs to fly his right elbow to straighten his shots. On the other hand, I try to keep my elbow tucked against my body to avoid going right. This may not have anything to do with why Quinney does this, but I find it interesting how two people can be working on the exact opposite things, both to straighten their shots.
  14. I have to agree! I love Titleist, but there is something about the feel of Mizuno irons.
  15. Has anyone tried these wedges? I just watched the infomercial and was curious if they really are legit. I have heard good things about the utility club made by Ortiz so figure the wedges should be pretty good, but can they compete with a vokey or a cleveland. For $150 p/club they better be pretty darn good.
