Villegas at -10 !

Hey Ryan, To your question, No, they don't have a lot of offset. My buddy has some Taylormade RAC and those have a lot of offset. I hit his irons and was hooking, which for me is very rare. The Ci7's look thin and have flighted shafts which is nice for the longer irons. They also come with a gap wedge (I used to think pitching, sand lob was perfect) and are cheap as anything out there. I didn't get them fitted, so I had to adjust a bit to the length. Maybe I will cut them down 1/2" to std someday. Don't hesitate and get a used set on Ebay, if for any reason you don't like them sell them again and lose maybe $20

I think the Ci7's are awesome irons for low to middle cappers. They look like players irons but they are slightly bigger. They play a little long because of shafts and lofts but I think I will keep the Ci7's til I am low single digit. Never heard anything wrong with the sticks especially for the price.

Thanks for the tips. Only problem is I don't have friends who are better than me. Maybe I'll ask someone at the course. Anyways another question, when you say your friend can't line himself up, do you mean reading the putt? Does he use the line on the ball? I set up the line on the ball, make sure is the read I want and align the putter perfectly with the line. The thing is I am not really sure if I am starting them on that line or if I am pushing/pulling. It is getting frustrating to shoot 82-85 when I know I had a 78 in me somewhere!

What would entail a green reading lesson? I pisses me off because I have a few makeable birdie putts every round but end the round with no birds.

I forgot to add that I use the line and completely trust it. Also I generally play the same courses, so I "know" the greens. I just feel like I am misreading everything, although it could be speed related too. Anyone in the same boat?

Any tips?? I am not holing too many putts these days, missing on both sides but with good distance control. Is this green reading? Stroke?

Hey guys, I have been improving a lot this year, currently playing to a 10 or 11. I am interested in those of you who play to a low single digit and keep stats. How many GIR do you average, FW and putts? I've had quite a few good rounds including a few 80's but with a few GIR only, like 3 or 4. This may indicate a very strong chipping game, so I am going to start working a lot in the 3,4 and 5 iron area. TIA

Brian Gay on fire

Please try and post your review! I am in the same boat as you now but don't know if it will change the game for me for the better or worse.

Are cord grips designed for wet/humid weather? I've heard they are terrible for the hands is this true?

Guys, Now that the high 80's low 90's are here to stay, I find my Wilson Ci7's slipping more than I like. I tend to walk and carry which makes me sweat a lot, what grips should I go to, generally?

I was in the same boat as you, putted with the Cleveland Classic #1 and the difference is minimal. The Karsten Anser on the otherhand has a very different feel. So in summary get the Cleveland for $69 and be very happy.

Broke my record for 9 holes, shot a 39, 6 pars 3 bogeys. Nice thing is it could've been better. Shot 83 for the round 44/39.

WOW Cejka is on freaking fire!! Wish I could watch his round.

Agree, nice guys both would love to see them at the top by Sunday. Wasn't Camilo 4th last year?? Something about the course maybe. Hopefully we will see more aggressive play by tomorrow.

I use a SBST and find I am a much better putter with it than the arc. Trying to hit the ball at the exact point of the arc where the face is square relative to the line is very inaccurate in my opinion, causing misses right and left. After seeing Tiger block short putts to the right it kind of hit me that even he has trouble timing the arc sometimes. Anyways, try different strokes and see what feels best. For me it is a close to the ball tight stance and a flatter lie angle on the putter. I went to the arc stroke for a little bit and it was the worst most inaccurate feeling, especially on 3-6 footers. I don't know about the 99.9% comment, seems about 49.99999% too much.

I am thinking Phil and Villegas with a close Tiger. Don't see Sergio anywhere close.

I agree, depends on Tiger. Camilo and ZJ with good rounds today. If Tiger shoots 1 or 2 under it should be a fun weekend. On the other hand if he shoots 4 or 5 under today, it could be a solo run.

I added 9 grams of lead tape to the head and got it to 349 grams. That took the swing weight between D4 and D5. My stroke improved drastically in the practice green and on the putting training aid I have at home. I have one of the 7 ft putting greens at home and went nuts, made 150 straight puts and got tired jaja. I will keep going to see how many putts I can make without missing. For anyone interested I will let you know how it goes when I get out to the course. If anything I will add a bit more weight to get it to D5-D6.

http://www.ralphmaltby.com/home/267/ Doing more research I found that the Classic #1 has an estimated swingweight of D2 at 340 grams / 34". I am going to add lead tape and take it to around D5 to see how it feels. That should help stabilize the head on the short putts. I have a read quite a bit and a lot of people like to putt with D5 and above. Would like to hear from those of you that monitor swingweight on the putter.

Also anyone know the mass of a strip of lead tape?? Say 1 inch long standard width??

Thanks Neudi, I was thinking of lead tape because if I don't like it could remove it easily. Can you comment on what has taken you to the heavier putters?? Short ones, lag, better stroke??

Guys, I have a Classic #1 and love it, but have been having trouble with the 3-5 footers, making a jaby stroke for some reason. The weird thing is I am making more of the 8-20 footers. I was thinking maybe 340 is a bit light for the short strokes and would like to add some weight. I know scottys come 340/350/360. Can some of you who have putted with different head mass give some insight on differences for those of us just trying it out. Maybe would like to add 5 to 10 grams of lead tape and see what happens. TIA

Love it I have the 11.5 degree. This club took me from low 90's to low - mid 80's.
