Been experimenting the last few days with my driver as the teebox is the only thing that goes to crap on me at times.....i have 2 identical adams 9064 ld heads and my gamer has been one of the heads with an oban devotion 7 shaft and the other head is used for shaft experimentation. I also have the luxury of being able to check things on a trackman if something works well. Anyway....long story short is that ive been playing a 44 " driver and it has honestly always felt too long. Im 6'4" but my wrist to floor is 34 inches.....so very very long arms. I have been talking recently with some seriously knowledgeable club builders and upon their suggestion of me needing a heavier shaft i setup one of my heads with a tt dg x100 steel shaft at only 42.5 inches. Holy crap what an improvement....love a shorter stick. The shaft is 120+ grams and im still generating an average swing speed of 118mph.....but omg straight.....it is so easy i feel like I'm cheating. Just ordered a ust vst 95 black graphite shaft (100grams) for the other head abd will go 42.5" again.....ive played 4 rounds in 5 days and have hit 86% of the fairways!!!! The shorter length worked great for me and my ballspeed has been nuts. Anyone else play a shorter than retail length driver? Any success?

I played a cleveland cg15 56* before I demoed my miura K grind. was very very happy with the cg15.........but that K grind....there is nothing I cant escape from with that rediculous club......it never ever gets hung up.

2011 Subaru STI......built and rediculous

funny this topic came up.....I had to reshaft another club today because I had a club that was ballooning hard that I recently reshafted with a DG x100.......the shaft in question actually freq. out at senior flex......JUNK

I use a towel and brush on course as well as covers ALL of the time. take the cover off, hit the shot, towel and brush, and cover goes back on.....I've only ever gotten crap for it one time until the guy saw what clubs I play (Miura baby blades)......then he said if he had my gear he would think about using them too. the set of blades I had before these didnt have covers and got a ton of nicks from the topline of the club going back into the bag hitting the sole of another club in the bag......they looked a beaten after a year and a half, and I'm not doing that to the Miuras

I've found that the majority of people score pretty close to the following: 95 - (2 X GIR)......so if you hit 5 greens your'e around 85.....but they are legitimate GIR's.....not the no count OB ball or the ball on the fringe with a 70 footer left GIR.....but all straight forward scoring. not 100% rock solid all the time, but if you look at your rounds it is uaually within 2 or 3 strokes

65....par is 71.....3 on the front and 3 on he back......played great.

8.....i enjoy funnies like that

If you could carry and game a 15th club, what would it be and why?......... I personally would carry an extra 60 degree lob wedge .....but in lefty (I'm RT handed).....just in case i got hammered against a collar of a bunker that i couldnt get to rt handed

How about........"never saw it"

I usually wont play unless I've gone to whole foods and gotten a container of french vanilla almond granola.........I'm addicted, and have learned my lessons about playing like crap due to no food

I have found that tight grip pressure and a jerky transition cause heel shots, especially if you have an in to out path.........relax the hands, and shoulders........my wife tells me that she can see a bad shot coming before I swing because if I'm trying too hard my face looks tense......which means so is everything else....even if I dont feel it consciously

I generally play really fast and know when the courses I regularly play are pretty empty........I hate the group of guys in front of me that slow the ENTIRE COURSE down by one guy lining up his putt by plumb bobbing, viewing the putt line from 3 different angles, and then lining up an alignment mark to hit his putt............then, and only after all of that, the next guy in the group gets behind his individual ball and does this himself.....and this proceeds for all 4 guys, for all 18 holes.........OMG, get off the green and start looking at your line while the first idiot is putting.....especially if you show up in a t shirt and jeans and they let you out!!!

I was playing as a single yesterday on a course I've never played before......drove about 40 miles from home looking for something different......made the turn, and there was another single on number 10 and asked if I wanted to pair up.......how about after we tee off, the dude pulls out a bowl and starts smoking a bowl on course............I politely excused myself from his company. to each his own, people party their own way, and I'm ok with that......but I didn't expect it on a golf course.
