  2. Thanks for the response! I've uploaded a new set today hope this DTL view is better. Thanks for the tip about the elbow, it does look like my arm is steep comparable to my shoulder plane because of it . Do you think the towel under the arm drill or something similar will help mediate this ? Sorry in advance for the weird sounds of the video.
  3. I've been Playing Golf for: 5 years consistently now My current handicap index or average score is: 87 My typical ball flight is: Slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: duck hooks Videos:
  4. I started playing when I was in high school and playing sparingly through college. I always did terrible, like 120+ terrible. I had my good shots on every hole but also had shots that would ruin a hole. So going in this winter I was determined to get better. I spent at least 3-4 nights a week at the range. Worked all on irons (full shots, half, etc). I watched a lot of videos on the different swings out there and settled on one principle. I think a major part of me not doing well was I was taking a little bit from different instructors on youtube and each one had different swing principles (ie: one plane, two plane, stack and tilt, rotary etc). and that did more harm than good for me. Once the weather got better I worked a lot on my short game at the local par 3 course. This summer, I'm playing at least once a week and average in the mid 90's with a best of 89. I still tee off with a 5 iron, which is my 200 yard club. I recently got fitted for a 3 wood so hopefully the added distance off the tee will drive me into the 80's consistenty. But what i've really noticed is if you damage control and make smart decisions. Breaking 100 is very doable. For me, that was realizing that hitting the fairway with a 5 iron is better than hitting from teh trees with a driver. An older golfer to just treat every hole as a par five and so far its worked.

  6. Got fitted for a 3W 913fd and the oban devotion 75g 04 (stiff) gave me great numbers. The feel of it is just incredible. Very well balanced and felt perfect for my swing. I have a SS around 105 with a quick tempo coming down and this worked perfectly for me. On the LM i was averaging a 250 carry and 260 total with spin rates around 3000 for the 3W. Put in the order and can't wait to hit it!. For the money I think its a great deal and i just love the color of the shaft paired with the titleist head.
  7. Thanks! I studied a very little know field called cardiovascular perfusion.
  8. Hey everyone. Just joined and just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I've had a box set since my high school days and played sparingly. I've only really gotten into getting better in recent months after finishing grad school. And since almost every google search I've put in has lead me to the TST forums. I thought I might as well join!
