Ok, that's kind of what I suspected, thanks for the info! Scott

Hi folks, handicap question here, does it reset each 'season'? In other words, do you count scores from the previous year for the handicap calculation? I am by no means a handicap 'expert', in fact I'm not even sure I know the rules, but I was just wondering this. Thanks for any info. Scott

I think I may know the answer to this already but I will throw it out there anyway...I use a stiff shaft Burner driver and also have a 10 year old basic TaylorMade 5 wood with a regular flex graphite shaft and I typically can hit the 5 wood almost as far as my drives (with more control as well). I would say an average drive for me will go about 230-250 yards, and I can hit this 5 wood about 220 pretty consistently and even draw it on purpose once in a while. My question is, should I be hitting a driver with a regular flex shaft? I know the answer to this is to go get my swing measured, but I thought I would ask this in case anyone has experience with switching from stiff shafts to regular ones and can chime in. I am guessing the stiff shaft is a bit much for my swing, hence the long 5 wood shots (if that is considered long). I have a pretty basic swing speed tool (it's a spring loaded plastic thingy) that tells me my swing is about 85-90 mph, which on charts I have seen is right on the line for regular/stiff. Any input is greatly appreciated! Scott

Yeah the spin doctor will definitely tear up the green as well as put 2 or 3 little 'smiles' on any softer ball you hit with it, but it is pretty funny to whip out when playing with those who don't know you have it. And I agree, you CAN actually hear the ball in flight whizzing by with it. You can also chunk the hell out of shots if you are not careful... Scott

I am 38 but I look 30 and feel 50 Scott

I got 'serious' about golf last summer and ditched my baseball grip for a more standard overlap grip and will never go back. I'm still only about a 11-12 hdcp but I now hit much better shots this way, although it was very awkward at first. Scott

Excellent point... Scott

I switched from Pro-V's to Maxfli Noodles believe it or not, and have had great success with the Noodles. About half the price and I can spin them quite a bit. Scott
