jlh1508, read your PMs. There's enough banter in this thread already. Let's return to the topic, shall we?

When you say, it doesn't go anywhere, what do you mean exactly? I don't have much trouble hitting it squarely. I've hit good enough shots to know when it feels right, after I hit it. I still get mishits of course but I know it instantly.

My irons are are stiff shaft (see sig) But my driver is inconsistent, and my 3-wood as well. My new 5-wood performed better, but that didn't mean I didn't hit a bad shot with it today.

Believe it or not, I used to swing faster (or at least it seems like I did). And I used to be steeper, which caused a slice. I just brought my hands on an inward path during the backswing, as well as putting the ball more forward in my stance. I don't feel like I'm swinging very hard, honestly. It just feels like my body naturally unwinding from the top of my backswing. In other words, it doesn't feel like I'm doing too much. I've tried to swing slower, but I think my tempo over a period of time has been kind of engrained.

You're right. Edit: Honest question, I thought the whole straightening-the-right-leg-on-backswing thing was ok?

I never said my swing was perfect. Who's is? Surely not yours...and nobody else's is either. Everyone's got something. PS I didn't even think about how fast I was swinging, so I wasn't just blatantly showing my machoness. That's how fast I swing. Deal with it. Can't wait to see your videos.

That emu would kick you in the nuts before you could get an accurate psi reading.

Alright, so I know this is in the middle of my apartment, and it's a foam ball, and it's a PW, but it's all I have at the moment. This was just recorded. Be as critical as you want. I don't care.

I'll be there half of Friday and all Saturday.

I'll sell you my 60* if you decide on that.

Yes, but I turned it into a positive

I said I was done arguing. I have an iphone, and I'm playing this Sunday, hopefully with people. Maybe I can get them to film me. I'm not really scared of what people here think, to be honest. But I've wanted to do a "look at my swing" vid for awhile.

I think shaft selection matters, ball selection has a bit to do with it as well. And I'm fairly certain amateurs hit it farther than in the 60s. But I think a good swing is a good swing, no matter what decade.

F that. Seriously? Unless shanks wants to buy me one...

No. How much do they run?

I've always thought that as well.

Just tried my new 5-wood out on the course, was definately hitting it straighter although it wasn't within 5 yards. More or less I was just hitting the fairway with (almost) every shot. JB: Thanks man, maybe one day I'll get there.

Yeah, my distance didn't increase when I changed to a stiff shaft, I just got alot more accurate. The LM said my deviation L or R using a regular shaft 5-wood was 15 yards or so. When I tested the stiff, it was down to 5 yards or so. I need to get my driver re-shafted as well.

What is this "claim" crap? I saw a number on a screen. I posted it. Call that golf shop and tell them their machine is jacked up for all I care. I know what I've seen. Other people have too. I'm done arguing in this thread.

Haha... If you want to know, the first swing I took w/ that Cobra driver on the LM was terrible. I hit it too close to the hosel, and it told me it went a total distance of 230 yards. Was THAT one off too? You still can't comprehend the fact that I have no reason to lie. And that, annoys me.

Agreed. Come on.

The Par 4 9th hole is a completely straight, uphill hole. According to the markers, I have hit a 302 yard drive on that hole, albiet with a 15 MPH wind at my back. Does that sound humanely possible? I think it does. Also, the fairway grass is very tight here, so the ball rolls more as well. The fact that the launch monitor said I hit it in the low 270s and given the air and the fairways on the actual course give me some added yardage, a 280 yard drive doesn't sound too far fetched.

So let me guess Shanks, all of the launch monitor's stats were fine EXCEPT for smash factor. Because smash factor makes or breaks a club sale, right? That must have been the one they skewed on me. Damn them! The problem I have with these little theories is that they can't be proven wrong. They'll just be refuted with a new twist to make their argument fit. It's like watching a Michael Moore movie.

buy me a camera......

Also. The way that launch monitor calculated the smash factor, it was not in decimal. It was in percentage. I don't know what the difference is, if there's one.
