The Smokehouse is nice local BBQ joint. Perfect for a relaxed post-game lunch/dinner.

One hybrid and four wedges is the way to go. You'll need to drop your three iron, but it shouldn't be an issue if you're comfortable strengthening the lofts of your iron set. I had my irons bent one degree strong across the board, except for the 4i which is a touch stronger. I haven't had any problems digging and I'm really happy maintaining 12-13 yards between clubs. My setup... H . . . 225 . . . 19° 4i . . . 210 . . . 21.5° 5i . . . 197 . . . 25° 6i . . . 185 . . . 29° 7i . . . 172 . . . 33° 8i . . . 160 . . . 37° 9i . . . 147 . . . 41° Pw . . . 135 . . . 45° Gw . . . 122 . . . 50° Sw . . . 110 . . . 55° Lw . . . 97 . . . 60° Hope that helps. I feel your lefty pain.

Please reference the above video. Do most tour vans offer the same service? Can you send in metal woods to the manufacture for custom bending or make custom orders? None of my local club fitters will bend metal woods, what about 3rd parties offering this service? Any info is much appreciated. It's nice that TM's FCT and Titleist's SureFit will obviate the need for this in the future. I'm sure other manufacturers will follow suit. For now, though... I would really like to open up my 905 or a G15, I can't stand closed faced drivers.

I think you know this, but just to make sure... Lie angle is the angle made between the shaft and the floor when the club is sitting flush on a flat surface, it has nothing to do with grip. A midsize grip, while it might not be ideal for you, really shouldn't change your swing in a way that would cause you to be toe-up at impact. More likely, the previous owner had these clubs bent from standard lie angle. I would go in to your local club fitter and get the lofts checked and have the lies adjusted to your swing.

One other thing to mention before you buy (especially if you have a stand bag) . . . Go to a golf mega-store, find the bag you have, and place it on the demo of push cart you are thinking about purchasing. Certain stand bags will sit better in some push carts than others. For what it's worth, my Titleist Lightweight Stand Bag fits in the Speed Cart V1 perfectly.

I picked up Sun Mountain's Speed Cart V1 last year and couldn't be happier with it. I don't know if anything better has come out since, but I exhaustively researched all of the major offerings at the time and it was definitely the most solid option. If you look at any online reviews, don't pay attention to people saying that the tires go flat. That may have been a problem with past models, but the current Speed Carts have high quality solid foam wheels. It even has an optional seat attachment.

Congrats!

I'd be interested in reading this, please post a link if you can find it. I have always felt that the effect of temperature on ball-speed was negligible, but I think most people do experience a distance loss in cold weather. I believe that low temperatures have more of an effect on swing speed than ball speed. Even in warm weather I require a bit of pre-round stretching to make my normal shoulder turn... and I'm in my twenties. The colder it is, the more time I need to get warmed up and stay loose for a round. I think that many golfers don't take the time to warm up in colder weather and don't even notice that they are taking an abbreviated swing due to decreased flexibility. I would not be surprised if some golfers lose 10-15 MPH of clubhead speed because of this. If this is the case for the original poster, it would explain why you saw less of a distance loss with a two piece than with a three or four piece ball. Your slower swing isn't allowing you to compress the ball like you do in warmer weather. To answer the title question of the thread, I usually switch from tour balls to the Nike PD Soft in the winter. Mostly because I can't stand losing expensive balls (and valuable daylight) to fallen leaves 5 yards off the fairway. But, also because it feels like hitting a marshmallow, which is nice on cold weather mis-hits.

This is my most favorite comment on my most favorite thread. As a kid, I always felt that golf was the perfect fusion of piñata parties and Easter egg hunts.

I have a couple golfing buddies who have had the same thing happen. For them it was a small crack/fissure that developed on the driver face or head, which resulted in the distance loss. I don't know if that is the only way for a driver to go "dead". I'm not sure if it was caused by a manufacturing flaw, wear from frequent play, trunk heat, or some combination of the three. Regardless, it's not a good idea to keep your gamer clubs in the trunk during the summer.

You are altering what you originally posted. To be clear, you said... Key distinction, dude. You made no mention of ball striking or the relative importance thereof in your original post. You merely stated that short game isn't important for high handicappers, which is preposterous. Without that distinction, I was honestly wondering if you were attempting sarcasm. Take a chill pill. I have read, and don't disagree with, the thread you later alluded to.

For a high handicappers you may be right, but this is certainly not a "false relic" for a consistent ball striker. Just as a hypothetical... Say we have a low handicapper, with equal confidence in his clubs. When he hits a straight ball, usually his max miss is 5° left or right of his initial target line. He is set to tee off on a par 5 with a fairway 45 yards wide, bordered by deep rough. What should he hit? From here it's just simple trigonometry. His max miss with a 200 yard 4 iron would be ~17 yards, on either side. Likewise, his max miss left or right for his 250 yard 3 metal and 285 yard driver would be ~21 yards and ~25 yards, respectively. So, in this case our hypothetical player should pull his 3 metal because it is the longest club he has that should still hit the fairway on a 5° miss. Are you joking with this one?

The lavender cardigan is an interesting move for national uniform. The rest of the line is pure class. Timeless.
