I'd be tempted to take the bet, that's a lot of chances.- 158 replies

Anyone Just Accept Their Swing?
tristanhilton85 replied to Sandhills Golfe's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I would say that I have accepted my swing; at least for the time being. As things are right now, I don't have time for more than the occasional round of golf. If I'm lucky I'm playing once a month; usually more like once every other month. Between work and two young kids, that's not likely to change for at least a few years. Once it does however, I'll be back to practicing and looking to make improvements. -
The Golf Smith that used to be near me had a bunch of these in their hitting bays. I always thought that they were very good.

Tiger Woods Master Catch-All Discussion
tristanhilton85 replied to Valleygolfer's topic in Tour Talk
I think that Tiger is going to be just fine playing multiple weeks in a row. Like you said, it's not like he does nothing. I really think that the injury stuff is overplayed; it seems like that is done with now.- 3,542 replies

It's really hard to go wrong with one of the major companies out there. Nike, Adidas, Ashworth, etc. all make some really good clothes and if you keep an eye out you can get some great prices as well. While not pants, I have some shirts and shorts from Linksoul that I really like; you should check them out as well.

Do You Hit Full Shots With High Lofted Wedges?
tristanhilton85 replied to 1badbadger's topic in Golf Talk
Generally, no. I'll hit full wedge shots with my 52° and that's about it. -
The march of technology?
tristanhilton85 replied to easyjay39402's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Yup. Pretty much this. Most of the technology is centered around producing good results on not so good swings. For the OP, both clubs may essentially have the same "max" yardage, but I'd say that he's more likely to get more consistent results (get to that "max" yardage) more often with the new driver. -
I used to be pretty concerned about having specific gap intervals between wedges, but I've come to realize that loft is just one factor. What's more important is the distance gapping between the clubs and then being able to hit the in between shots. I like what @iacas does (although I've always been too lazy to do it myself) of putting a label on the shaft of each wedge of the distance it goes with a full, 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 swing.
-
There are a lot of variables with drivers and loft is just one. Shafts, as @ScottyT pointed out can make a difference. In addition to that the CG of the club has a big influence as well. Take the Taylormade SLDR from a few years back; with the CG so far forward, people had to "Loft Up" to get the proper trajectory.

That's my zone as well.
