  1. A new set of 755's.
  2. Yes. The swing on the right also carries a little further back than the swing on the left. It does seem to have at least a short supply of power. Club head speed while swinging in a controlled relaxed fashion is right at 105. And the carry with that was into or in front of the trees at the end of the range, which I can fly and then some on a good day. But the consistency still bites me, and I still work to fix it. Thank you for the words.
  3. Good deal. The flexibility comes as a bit of a surprise given the numbers: 205/5'7". However, I'm very long torso'd and simply have no legs at all, so I guess that's part of it. Something I've been working on is that backswing. Because of the fact that right at the top of it, my wrists break down and I fall out of a single plane. If I focus on keeping my left arm straight with the wrist flat, it controls the backswing as it should, I'm just finding it absurdly uncomfortable and I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I just keep practicing it and waiting for it to click. It will get here eventually. My ball striking consistency with mid and long irons is poor. However, I've been playing with a regular flex standard length and lie dtr titleist. My fitment was for a +1/2" 1*flat x100 shafted 755. I'm still waiting to recieve these clubs as they're being made, but when I hit the demo 6 iron in those specs, my ball striking becomes very strong and consisting with only an occasionally thin shot which I can attribute to rushing the swing. I also step off the mats when no one is looking and hit out of the surrounding grass (a mixture of weeds and short grass) and continue to strike the ball very well. I think that having fitted clubs and a more controlled backswing in my arsenal will help cut my scores substantially.
  4. I think the correct answer is yes. However, I've yet to play with my 755's which are the first clubs I will have been fitted for at my age. I either usually just play with an 8 and 9 iron that are too short, or standard length clubs that feel too short. Given the fact that the fitment was +1/2" I'd say they are. So I actually tend to catch it thin if anything, rarely do I hit it that fat, however, I'm sure that will just step down a half inch to catching it fat and occasionally clean.
  5. I was having a terrible time at turtle creek sunday, but my recovery shots were just on. I had a really tight par 4 up to water, so I played 3i and 3i again, since I duffed the tee shot. I put the second one wide right and into someones back yard. I was in st. augustine yard grass with two tree trunks directly in front of and slightly left of my intended path. past that, a large tree on the right side blocked me playing to the right of those trees any at all, so I set up with a slightly closed sand wedge from about 60 yards from the pin (pin high) and threaded right between the the two trees dropping it maybe 4 feet from the pin. Made the put for par.
  6. This is what I've been doing for a short while. The vid quality is bad so there are quite a few important frames missing. However, just curious as to how bad it looked. This is the swing I'm trying to work from. The plane starts out somewhat singular and then falls out of that as I bottle my wrists up at the top of the swing and have to force my body around to make room for the club. http://youtube.com/watch?v=9MCm8JkzOoI
  7. Good deal. I guess it's measured on the inside. I don't know too much about clubs, I just know what I've been told by the guy who fits me and I know of what I've hit, what I like and don't like. Thanks for the info.
  8. Personally I have no idea. I just recieved a free hibore when my dad was fitted for some cg4 tours. I didn't think vijay would be able to play the club. I thought the club was 520cc's. (well, I've read that it's a 520chassis with actually displacement in the 300 range, but I don't know how it's measured.) I'm curious as to whether or not it's a legal club.
  9. Do any shipping to or from the east coast of florida?
  10. In all fairness, understanding that both draws and fades are hit with glancing blows, wouldn't it be fair to say that a high launch angle was the answer to that? Hitting it straight with a higher angle and more carry at his club head speed seems to be a better idea than manipulating less lofted clubs.
  11. I'm a detailer at a local honda dealership. The only career type job I've had was teaching music. I taught guitar (professionaly) for a little while. I'm going for a degree in english/journalism and am working towards becoming an editor.
