Cobra Irons Cobra Wedges Odyssey Putter (0 Works)

Shot a 91....had a pretty good round going and them made a 7 on 18, a par 5. Great drive, great 2nd shot, hit chip across the green, chili dipped next one and 3 putted...But overall, I played pretty good for me....

Took me about 6 years to break 100... From there, it took me about 25 years to break 90... Probably will never break 80...I do believe you play by the rules of golf, and if you really want to know what you really shoot, you just play what you hit...no do overs, no mulligans, no move the ball to improve your lie, etc... I am 70 years old and figure I will need to be playing for another 16 years to be able to shoot my age...

Never been a club ho.....I have only had 3 sets of clubs in the 35 years of playing golf. I retired 3 years ago and purchased a set of irons, 5-SW, that I got fitted for. Bought a Driver and a Fairway wood a couple of years before I retired and kept them. Bought a putter for my birthday to replace the SeeMore that I have used for about 20 years. Also kept a 3H and a 4H. I don't anticipate the purchase of any additional clubs until I get to point where I hang it up....I am 70, play at least once a week, sometimes twice. Have been playing with the Callaway SuperSoft since it came out and don't anticipate changing that.

I think the number on the club relates more to the other clubs in the Nathan other sets of clubs. I hit my 7i 150 yds. I hit 9iin another set 150 yds. I play the distance not necessarily the club.

I have tried using a chipper, but decided it would probably be best to just learn to chip with the cubs in my bag...

I only own one set of clubs, so I play and practice with them...

I am on a roll and I hope it keeps on rollin'...Shot my 3rd consecutive round under 90. Shot an 88, and for the first time I played a complete round with the same ball. I did not lose one ball today.....

I use baseball grip. Don’t know what orthodontist grip is. I use baseball grip, use to use overlap be, because of pain in fingers. I have become more consistent with 10 finger grip.

All that stuff catches golfers like fishing lures catch fish....

I turned 70 yesterday and played golf today....I played last Tuesday and shot 85. I shot 89 today. This is the first time in my life the I shot under 90 two times in a row, and only the 5th time that I have shot under 90. I usually make a couple of pars per round. Today I had 4 pars and a birdie on the front 9 and 3 pars on the back 9. Unfortunately, i had a couple of 8's. Gonna play again next week, gonna see if I can make it 3 in a row...

Maybe not for everyone, but have been playing them for about a year. I will say that it does take some getting used to. Not just the single length, but the single plane swing. I am 70, and was struggling. Got fit for a set of Cobra SL clubs. Spent 2 weeks at the range before I attempted to play a round. I generally shoot around 90, and just recently shot 85, lowest score yet. Here is what I would say....my set is a 5i thru SW. I use a 3H and 4H instead of the irons. My distance before changing was: 5i I would not even hit it... 6i is 160 yds, 7i 150 8i 140 9i 130-135 PW 120 GW 110 SW 90 My distances with the SL irons are almost identical, but the biggest difference is that my shots tend to be straighter. I am getting better and have to say that I would not go back and will stay with the SL clubs. I wish I would have discovered them a few years ago. They are not a gimmick, but they are not for everyone. I will honestly answer any questions anyone might have.

2 scrambled eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, glass of orange juice, and a large glass of water or 2....usually keep gatorade or 2 and an apple in my bag....usually grab a burger or chicken sandwich after the round...

Hit 'em both and see which you like and feel best with and about....no one can make that decision for you.

I think Hogan used to make one called Fairway...May not be right, but seem to recall it...

To piggy-back on this...do you go spike or spikeless?

Tee It Up.........

I carry two hybrids...a 3H and a 4H...

7i would be the one club for me...probably putt better than with my putter....

After shooting backs to back rounds of 97, I shot a 92 this morning....Had one hole with a 4 putt, and a couple of double bogeys that should have been bogeys, so I felt pretty good. Hit the ball well, only lost 1 ball, so now my next goal is to break 90 next week....

Seems it is personal preference for many...but wouldn't carrying a hybrid be more versatile than carrying a driving iron. Is the only place you are gonna use the iron is off the tee, while you can use the hybrid off the tee, off the fairway, out of the rough, and in some instances around the green?

I use the Thomas Golf 3H and 4H...I like them, find them not to be extremely long but they are consistent and I continue to play with them for the past 3 years. I tried a few others but settled on the Thomas Golf 3H and 4 H and am still playing with them and not looking to replace them...That is the best info I can give you...

I guess my number 1 objective is to remain healthy....right now I am good and looking forward to 2019, but still have 2 months left in 2018. Golf wise, i would really like to break 90 twice in the last 2 months of 2018 and shoot under 90, 6 times in 2019. To accomplish this, I know I have to improve my putting. But along with that, I need to improve my chipping game and get the ball closer to the hole leaving more opportunities for 1 putts and not 2 or 3 putts...also, I want to get to the point that I can average hitting 7 fairways per round off the tee. Right now I hit about 3 fairways per round and probably hit 3 GIR... If I can bogey all the holes except the par 5, and par the par 5, I believe I will break 90... To improve these areas, i need to practice more. I will commit to practice more and learn to control my distance on the pitching and chipping parts of the game giving me shorter first putts and getting the ball in the fairway.

Over paying for AVX or Velocity?

For the past few years I have been playing with the Callaway SuperSoft. I like the ball, hit it okay, and don't have any issues around the green with it...but, my game has virtually been the same for 3 years...(I know, it is not the ball it is me) so I decided to try a new ball. I have played my 3rd round with the Titleist Velocity and not much has changed score wise, but here is what I have learned about the Velocity....Seems to be pretty straight and at least as long as the SuperSoft. Ball flight off the driver is not bad, just a tad bit higher but roll out is good. Ball flight off the longer irons is a tad bit higher. The ball feels pretty good, but a bit firmer than the SuperSoft, especially off the short irons and the putter. Price point is virtually the same. I will likely continue to play with the Velocity and wonder if any of you have played the Velocity and have any opinions on it....
