Rebby- I totally agree with you that is why I am torn! Love my baby blade Miuras and the wedges as well but don't want to play with pain. Help!!!

the S56 also has PX 5.5 with exact specs. To be honest, once or twice around I skull it that's when it stings my elbows.

Bubba Watson doesn't know how big he really is, I am in Indonesia and follow him and use Ping equipments because of him. My friends and I stay up all night untill 6 am in the morning just to watch him play golf (it's 12 hour different timezone). I hope he learns his lessons and come back as a down to earth guy. Apology accepted, Bubba!

Me! I have a very good friend off the course, but when I play golf with him I shoot way over 90s or even 100s. This guy constantly talks and talks, uses his mobile phones, during swings, during puttings. And the talking is so constant that when he actually shuts up I can still hear him ringing in my head. He does not have any golf etiquette whatsoever, or does not want to understand rules! constant muligans, swinging and cleaning the flowers in the flower beds, bunkers and if I impose penalties he says that I am a snob and calling me "a failed golf pro wannabe" and "too much rules!" What to do????

Last Saturday at my home course Emeralda Indonesia designed by Arnold Palmer. My best shot came after 3 horrible shots: 1. 100 yards drive with a driver 2. 100 yards with 5 woods 3. 100 yards with 5 woods Fourth shot 130 yards used a Pitching wedge uphill and it went straight to the hole for PAR!!!! WOA

Folks, I love my small blade Miura,'s irons, it is the purest thing in my opinion. People always say that it is difficult but I have own a set for a year now and do not have any problems with hitting them. However, when I use the Miura's my elbows hurt pretty bad after a few rounds, when that happens it forces me to rest for a month and switch to my Ping. The Miuras have Project X 5.5 shafts. My questions if anybody has the same experience are: 1. Is this problem common with the Miuras or Muscle back? 2. Will it be a lot less vibration if I switch the shafts to graphites? any recommendation which shafts? The Ping S56s are NOT bad at all, but the Miuras are even better. Can somebody help me out with a suggestion since I love the Miuras (they look WOA too) Any ides will be highly appreciated.

I strongly recommend Epon Forged 701 for great distance and maximum forgiveness. I used to switch my iron like every couple of months until I tried these. They stayed in my bag.

Scotty is a very consistent putter, but what they say when you put well you don't hear the sound at all. The most important sound is the one when the ball hits the bottom of the hole.

Golf Ball Suggestions?
Laurentius replied to Leeds's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Titleist NXT Tour, a decent ball. It goes straight and long on drives and stop (not on the dime) on the green. -
My personal preference is always with the Scotty, it has an exception feel and when you miss putts you know for sure that it is not your putter but your hands.

Mine was a week ago: Very long par 5 550 meters downhill fairway and uphill green. Great drive and average 3 woods gave me 50 meters steep uphill to the hole. I hit a 60 degree wedge that hit the post for almost an eagle. Tapped in for birdie and won my match play........!!!!!

What are your top 3 drivers for a high handicapper?
Laurentius replied to Sheekamoo's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I have used Nike Square for a couple of years now, and it is one of the most forgiving driver ever. Nomatter where you hit the ball, it will go straight. I also recommend Taylor Made Burner, and Callaway FTi, -
Get forged irons such as Mizuno MPs, they very good irons.

Yesterday, I played at my home course, hole 6, par 4 at 402 yards. I outdrove my friends to 130 yards (my best drive of the day), pulled my PW and did not calculate the head wind came out 2 feet short from the green. My friends already laughed at me because they were around 160-170 from the hole. They reminded me that drive is only for show!!!!. They all pulled their 7 irons and put their shots on the green. I got my SW and knocked the ball in with the softest chip, they got their pars and I got my dough!!!! so from now, Drive for show, chip for dough.

Tiger's performance should scare other players for next year
Laurentius replied to chriskzoo's topic in Golf Talk
Tiger still dominates golf in my opinion, right... last 3 weeks, 1st, 1st, 2nd. But, this time he didn't play to win but he played not to lose. If he just attacked the PINs on Saturdays and Sundays, he would have won it by 10. -
You should try Dunlop DDH Tour, they are very long and rolls forever. But, it is hard as a stone and if you play in tight fairways and greens, you will have lots of problems scoring.
-
Paddy wanted the win which is good. If he played safe and took the bogey, TW would run away with the win anyhow. But, if Paddy hit a decent shot. He for sure could have saved par.

What other way can the PGA make a course harder?
Laurentius replied to Msokol13's topic in Tour Talk
I am with you on this one! 3 woods on second shot on par 4 is not fun to hit nor fun to watch, I would like more hazards around the greens, super difficult flags, and more dog legs. I want to see more shot makings then miserable tour players hacking around 6 foot rough. -
Ouch!!!! That looks ugly, I can feel your pain. The new driver man!!! But, try call Callaway, they might have a solution! or let it be and continue playing it. If your friends ask, tell them you just hit the ball so far that it leaves a nasty mark on the face!!!

how good is the nike sumo (not square) 460 head
Laurentius replied to maraca2020's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Before the square one, I used the 460 Sumo with Tour AD shaft. And, it was the best driver I ever had (feel and sound). I don't know if it was because of the shaft or the head. I would buy something new if I were you. Just wait a couple of months and new models should be coming out, or buy a used one for less money. -
220yards with 13.5 degrees, tight hole or not I always prefer to pull the big guy!!! or use a 3 iron for tee off. I only use 3w from fairway.

I am 46...... feels like 46, still 2 rounds of golf a week!!!
