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.

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) =)

Speed of service in internet golf equipment stores
goatlord replied to goatlord's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
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. -
How much is your golf set worth?
goatlord replied to billysandy's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
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. -

I have shopped in 3balls earlier, it worked nicely without any delays. The store I used last week has been a bit slower now. -
Yes, easily.
-
307 yards, said the GolfBuddy Tour at last week.

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.

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.

43 in 9 holes last Friday in winter greens. With my HCP it´s -8 net =).
-
My first par for this spring, since the courses are just opening up.
-
Fastest measured 123,8 mph. Ordinarily 115-118 mph. Measured with Trackman.

New lefty from Northern Europe joining in. My father is a lefty and so are two of my brothers who golf rarely. In my own family which I work as a father (3 kids and wife) the skirt department is only heretic, playing from dominant right side. I could consider it as a contra-statistical issue that 4 out of 5 in my family are lefties.

I have two Audis, my wife usually drives the Allroad 2.7T quattro. Yours truly goes to golf course by S8 D2.

That´s more like it. So, not so much findings of different torques and other measurable issues. As a Finn, I don´t believe in money, I´ll buy everything second hand.

I was trying to avoid getting a ton of those "ahina is sh*t, get some other" -style "personal opinions," which are plentiful over other threads. I am interested in this issue purely by scientific curiosity and possible reason for some odd twitches in shafts while hitting. Despite extensive search in Taylormade web page, I was incapable of finding out the "Made for Taylormade Diamana Kaili 80 X-stiff" torque and compare it to aftermarket Kaili-version which was available immediately in Mitsubishi Rayon web page. Taylormade does not point out easily where they hold the past model cheat sheets. Now, the question was: how do the "made for whachamacallit" differs from genuine aftermarket 300 € shaft which has same name?
-
I own a Taylormade driver with Diamana Kaili 80 X-stiff shaft (Taylormade) and I´m getting soon Titleist 901d2 with Diamana ahina 72 x-stiff (Titleist). I would be interested to know, are those a lot different than aftermarket versions of the shafts? Please, save me from personal opinions, I would be interested about torques and other measurable stuff.
