  1. I used the word feel alot... Another way to describe what I was looking for would be consistency. My goal was to remove a variable from the equation. The clubs are fitted and matched to me, so they can't be an excuse. Any problems are my fault, not the clubs', and this helps me focus more on swing mechanics.
  2. As a 15 Hcp...I would lean towards an improvement to the swing with a by product of saved strokes. I want my swing to feel the same no matter the club I choose, meaning I want to feel like it takes the same effort to swing a 4i as it does 8i. This is essentially what MOI matching achieves. Since each club now requires similar effort, for me, I can more easily tell when tempo has increased or decreased, etc. I also feel like I have better awareness of where the club is throughout the swing. The common thread here is I wanted to a repeatable feel and MOI matching was a method I thought would help me get that. It wasn't terribly expensive to have done either. It works for me but I don't necessarily have any measurable stats to back it up. It was all about how the club feels in my hands.
  3. Agree. It's is all dependent on how much weight needs to be added as well. I highly doubt the COG of my clubs have changed by 1.5-2 inches, but I didn't have anywhere near 57 grams added either. To clarify slightly how MOI was done for me, now that I have a chance to look at things, my 4-PW were done as stated above with powder in the shaft. My wedges were built at the time of MOI matching and weight was added to the club head which would be the preferred method. Here is the chart I have showing the changes. 19 grams was the most added to a club head, all other were 10 grams or less.
  4. I've had my sticks MOI matched. MOI matching is obviously best at time of construction, but mine were matched afterwards. I believe lead powder was poured down the shaft and into the hosel with a small cork shoved down behind to keep everything in place. I have a chart showing before/after stats and total weight added to each club. Unfortunately I don't have it here at work, so I will post it up this evening.
  5. I have always driven a manual car (3 cars total). It's the first "option" I will look for when it comes time for a new car. My wife does not know how to drive manual, but would like to learn. I will attempt to teach her before getting a new car. For the time being though I enjoy a working transmission...
  6. If you have a compressor, and depending on which superstroke you are using, maybe try a quick blast of air in the end. May provide enough separation to get mineral spirits in and allow the grip to slide off. I use the superstroke slim and installed the grip using air, so they do expand a little.
  7. Hardcover is a must for as much use as I expect to get from this book. Can't wait!
  8. If you have the extra cash, this would qualify as exclusive. http://humanachallenge.com/Humana-Challenge-Pro-Am
  9. I've never played in this but have heard good things from those who have. Open to all USGA handicap levels. http://www.worldamgolf.com/

  12. No complaints here. Thanks for everything you guys do!
  13. Every once in a while I get to have some fun at work. I'm the person repelling, not standing in the road, since it isn't obvious.
  14. I use saddle soap. Saddle soap isn't specific for white shoes, but obviously the before and after is the most dramatic on white.
  15. I'm not a scotty expert but does it have the appropriate Titleist Authenticity sticker? http://www.titleist.com/security-label-program/ Looks something like this..
  16. Quote: Lots of high ranked amateurs not in the top 64, including Fox Forgive me if he was outside when you posted but Steven Fox is T58 going into today.
  17. Had a ton of fun and loved meeting everyone. Thanks to those in my group (saevel & dad, uncle robot) for putting up with my "rough patch" in the middle of the round. I have some work to do... Special thanks to Erik, Mike, & Kick X for everything they did to make it happen. Looking forward to playing with everyone again. [quote name="Golfingdad" url="/t/67534/first-annual-pittsburgh-erie-cleveland-get-together-august-3/300#post_877729"]Well, how'd it go? Lets hear some details! Hopefully y'all took a lot of pictures too![/quote] Epic fail for me... Didn't take a single picture. I hope others can pick up the slack.
  18. I believe there is a Dick's Sporting Goods near that same Golf Galaxy as well.
  19. I wouldn't put any stock in the forcast yet. I've looked at it a few times today and it hasn't been the same twice. It's Ohio...
  20. Dustin Johnson -9 Billy Horschel -10
  21. Sorry to hear about your recent losses. Falls-Barberton was always a tough match up no matter the sport. I haven't kept up with Barberton in a while, especially with them bouncing around conferences and now independent. The Western Reserve Conference during my time was tough for everyone....Falls, Barberton, Stow, Hudson...
  22. I'm in. Grew up in Barberton, easy drive from Cincinnati. Current players are (add yourself to this list and re-post the entire list, please): 1) iacas 2) mvmac 3) Slice of Life 4) saevel25 5) Spyder 6) jamo 7) dave s 8) vasaribm 9) kregan? 10) TN94z?
