  1. My miss is sometimes a hook, my ball flight is draw. The Trackman shows approx. 10 degrees from in to out club path with 5-6 degrees open club. The swing speed is now between 119 and 122 mph. I hit now only half swing of that with irons, I do not carry the 2 iron anymore.
  2. I've been Playing Golf for: July 21, 2013 My current handicap index or average score is: HCP 11.3 My typical ball flight is: Fast The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Off the fairway Videos:
  3. Well, down, I guess, my EGA handicap was 54 in July 2013, now it is 15,8.
  4. Is there stll a country club for this game available for the Sand Trap and what name it has got?
  5. Since it is winter here in north, no outdoor gaming, but recently I made in indoor golf arena 9-hole par-2 close encounter course (chip and putt) for even (E) =)
  6. A new personal record in Trackman. Swing speed was 114,3 mph.
  7. Updates with new equipment: Changed my Diamana Ahinas to Aldila VS Proto X, 80 to woods and 95 to hybrids Driver: 300 yards 3-wood: 270 17h: 240 21h: 215 5I: 200 6I: 185 7I: 160 8I: 135 9I: 125 PW: 115 52: 105 56: 90 60: 80 64: 65 Putter: 211 Woods and hubs are all Titleist 910-series. Irons are Mizuno MP-59 and 64 wedge is Dunlop 10-bucks-miracle-next-to-rock-shanker. Putter is some cheap Wal-Mart-model, 211 yard putter drive was measured with GPS from tee in par-4. Swing speed measured with Trackman, record speed 123.8 mph, of course a bit slower in ordinary circumstances.
  8. I made the order August 17th and now it seems to be arriving soon. Let´s see. I do not like a company which values "honesty" in their web page and customer service says "we have shipped it yesterday" and I get a "shipped today" -notification 6 days later.
  9. No idea, but here in Finland they would be 910D2 + Diamana Ahina 500 e 910F + Diamana Ahina 299 e 910H 19* + Diamana Ahina 279 e Mizuno MP-59 5-PW + R12 52, 56 and 60 would be 1350 e 64 Dunlop Wedge 10 e =) Some 10 e putter Totals as 2448 euros = $3182 I know, golf equipment is quite expensive here. I bought all of those in total of 450 euros used = approximately 600 USD.
  10. I have shopped in 3balls earlier, it worked nicely without any delays. The store I used last week has been a bit slower now.
  11. How have You been treated in the internet stores? I bought some Aldila shafts from one of US Yahoo-based stores a week ago and they charged me immediately. After that, no messages of sent order or others.
  12. 307 yards, said the GolfBuddy Tour at last week.
  13. There was some debate over the reality of Trackman results earlier spring. Tried it last week in competition where I measured a drive of 307 yards with GPS. I shot in the long drive competition 273 yards at another hole. Trackman estimates were something like 280 yards, so it seems accurate, at least with these results.
  14. I am right-handed in general, nevertheless I can live with left hand only decently (tested due injuries). Yet, I play all games which require bats, rackets, clubs or cues by holding it from the end of the butt with right hand (it means I play tennis and snooker from right side, ice hockey, baseball and golf from left side.) My friends told I should start playing golf from right side, even it felt completely unnatural when I tried it. So, I chose to be a lefty. I feel my shots from left are significantly harder and more natural to me. How can I tell in my profile I am "lefty?" I could not find the switch from the settings. Here in Northern Finland it´s rather easy to be lefty. I would say the ratio of lefties to righties is 1:4 or 1:5 whenever I visit either range or course. I use Mizuno MP59 irons and Titleist 910 woods, both of them available for lefties also.
