  1. This is going to turn out to be a battle on the back 9. Scott wants the Australian triple crown and Rory wants to show he's back from last year. If you are still awake tune into the Golf Channel to catch the matchup.
  2. Like the old saying "if it aint broke don't fix it."
  3. Definitely chipping in from 40 yards while playing with strangers. It felt good off the club and continued right on into the hole. Another good one was a birdie on a pretty easy par 4 followed by a birdie on a par 5 dog leg left where i bombed my drive over the trees in the dog leg (mainly an accidental hook that just happened to land in the fairway but I'll take it). Par 3 followed with a par and then another birdie on the next par 4. Needless to say that was my best stretch of holes of the summer.
  4. Thank you very much for your help MVMAC. Also thanks k-troop for that tip. I will definitely look into it.
  5. Thanks for the help. You may have explained this but l may not understand completely. I understand that there are different weight shafts as well as each weight shaft having different flexes. So say I'm going to buy the club from globalgolf.com or another online retailer, how do I go about getting it fit with a heavier shaft? Or do I need to go into a store in order to get the club I want with the heavier shaft.
  6. If was testing out 3 woods at a golf store today and the person I was talking with suggested a 83 gram shaft for my swing speeds. I was swinging in the 105-110mph range. When I went online to look at possible used clubs with 83 gram shafts all I can find is stiff and extra stiff clubs. Would an 83 gram shaft be extra stiff? He said that I wanted "the heaviest shaft that didn't involve getting a custom shaft." When I tested out the heavier shaft it definitely made a difference in my accuracy so I know that this is the shaft that I need to get. Thank you for your help, Casey
  7. Lately when I've gotten stuck in a bunker it has been a death wish. Yesterday I made a ten on a hole after I nailed a bunker shot 30 yards into another bunker which I then took 3 shots out of and then 3 putted. So what's the one thing someone has told you to think about in the bunker to get back out?
  8. I played mojo balls at the start of the summer as they were given as a gift from my parents. The green side spin leaves a lot left to be desired. I usually play a pro v1 and where the pro v1 checks the Nike mojo glides another 5-10 feet across the green. I can get plenty of spin on them from 100+ yards to stop it on the green but green side shots roll out quite a bit.
  9. Not sure if you are still looking but I just found this on the web.com tours website. http://www.pgatour.com/webcom/news/2013/06/26/qualifying-tournament.html
  10. Recently I have been hitting the ball well until I start setting up to close to my ball. This causes my arms to just flip around and who I knows where the ball is going to end up. Is anything I can do to work on how far I set up my feet from the ball?
  11. I got them at golfers warehouse and they were the demo model so 500 dollars and then I paid for larger grips.
  12. I just bought a set if the taylormade mc irons today. Got the lies adjusted and larger grips put on. I hit them on the range after and I've never hit the ball better or more consistently. Highly recommended.
  13. I am definitely not old enough to be telling someone else how to parent. However what Spyder is talking about parents taking the time to actually teach a child how to behave is something that is rare these. I have a few friends that have parents very similar to Spyders and when we were young they always thought it wasn't fair yet today in their twenties they are very glad their parents raised them the way they did. To an extent it is difficult to be mad at the kids that have never been shown "correct" way to act.
  14. I have been working on a one piece takeaway which is helping me square the club at impact. My problem now is an outside in swing path. I have been trying to shorten my backswing and keep my right elbow from fish tailing out. Are there any drills that will help me with my swing path?
  15. Is the biggest advantage to playing blades the ability to work the ball?
  16. I have been looking at the swingbox as well. Any chance you could do a little unbiased write up about it?
  17. The one thing I noticed was that you flip your wrists slightly during impact. As you can see your left wrist is flipped through impact. I have been working on eliminating the same thing. Try to work on keeping that left wrist firm through impact.
  18. I see you guys all talking about hitting into a net but I have no yard so I can't put a net outside. Have you guys seen the swingbox? Does anyone have any experience with this product? It seems pretty well built from the videos on their website.
  19. I've been Playing Golf for: 1 year only been serious though for about 2 months My current handicap index or average score is: 90-92 My typical ball flight is: lowish The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: the slice Videos: Any help you guys may have would be very helpful. This was one of the worst days I have had at the range all spring so all my flaws will hopefully be evident.
  20. Thank you guys very much. Definitely going to get them regripped now.
  21. As a graduation present I was given a set of ping eye 2's. At the time I just played once in awhile and was not to concerned about how well I played. I have since improved immensely and just shot my first round under 90. I have only been playing for about 1.5 years but have fallen in love with the game. The problem with the ping eye 2's is that the grips are pretty shot and need to be replaced. I am having a hard time to deciding whether to replace the grips or replace the clubs. Seeing as getting the clubs regripped could run from 60-90 dollars and I could buy some newer used clubs for 300 or so I can't decide what to do. I am certainly going to continue playing and once my NCAA sports career ends I will be playing even more. Those of you who have more knowledge than I do about golf equipment could help me out with a few options of used clubs I could look at and any experience you have had with this same problem. Thank you very much.
