  1. I currently have the Taylor Made Super-Tri Driver. I was fit into the Aldila ReAX 60 gram regular shaft. Currently the driver sets up at 45.75 inches. When I hit in on the screws it soars. Then there are those times that I occasionally get quick on the downswing and it's too much to handle. I will admit that I am looking for more consistency. However, I do not know how to find out what length I need. Some have said to just choke down. However, that gives me a totally different feel in the downswing. Some suggest cutting the shaft down. Yet, that changes the swing weight. I need some "expert" advice to get me on the right track. I have a number of tournaments coming up and want to get back in the groove. Love the driver, but need help "tweaking" it. Thanks for any input. ***If this helps, I currently play to a 6.4 handicap.
  2. Thanks for the info on chipping. If anyone can come up with the youtube.com site for using the plywood or The Golf Channel site, please reply. I looked through this morning, but cannot find it.
  3. Our grass here in the south is just coming in (bermuda). I regularly play on a course that has a sandy soil, and it really thins out in the winter months. There is hardly any fluff there for about 4months--just thin, dormant grass. So I am grateful that the heat and humidity have finally kicked in.
  4. I can tell you that I have had the 2, 3, and 4 Heavenwood in my bag for over 2 years. These clubs are absolutely amazing. You will not be disappointed. Have you hit one yet? If so, it is worth the money you discussed. I was under a tree today with low hanging branches and in the rough 150 yards out. The lowest iron I had was a 5. I took out the 4 Heavenwood, placed the ball in the back of my stance, weight on front foot and let her go. The ball rolled right past the hole and left me with a birdie attempt. Go for it!
  5. Yesterday I finally played on a course with grass. I noticed when my clubface came into the ball that I hardly ever took a divot on the target of the ball. I usually just catch the ball and have very little grass to be displaced afterwards. I am not looking to dig up the earth, but I understand that this is where the pros get their distance with their irons--when coming into the ball their irons are delofted--they contact the ball first, then the ground next. How do you swing in such a way that coming into the ball your hands are in front of the ball? I even have difficulty with this when I place my irons in the middle of my stance. I just do not find myself hitting ball first then ground second. It is always just the ball--a very shallow swing. Any ideas, swing thoughts, drills, etc.?
  6. I am putter shopping right now. For years I have been using a mallet putter and came across the Odyssey White Hot XG Marxman Mini in a golf shop the other day. Has anyone had any experience with this putter? What did you find were the pros and cons?
  7. I am moving through Pelz's Short Game Bible right now and have a question concerning defining your distances with his 7:30, 9:00 and 10:30 positions with your wedges. When seeking to find the average distance of each position do you hit balls into a green or out in a fairway? I have tried to make plans to go out and do this, but know if I just find an empty fairway and go through the process myself, that I would not have anyone to mark where the balls land. I might get 5-10 yards additional roll and not have an accurate yardage as compared to hitting into a green. Just need someone to guide me through the proper way to do this. I am looking to do this with my PW, Gap, SW, and Lob. Thanks for any help you can give me.
  8. I am a minister.
  9. Mine is golfhv.com This course just began a major renovation within the last few weeks with one of Jack Nicklaus's leading architects.
  10. One of our main golf shops is in the process of closing down. Yesterday I found myself walking out with a sack full of golf gloves and shoe trees for my golf shoes. (Shoe trees for golf shoes are one of the greatest investments but one of the most overlooked by golfers to help prolong the life of their golf shoes.)
