Nice! How did you like the 12 degree compared to 10.5? I'll hopefully get fit for a driver once I get my slice under better control but until I do I'm not sure what loft would be best at my low swing speed I did get fitted for g425 irons which I'm very stoked about arriving in the next week or so

This is what a 135mph swing speed does to a brand new Stealth 2 driver, apparently.  A piece of the bottom just exploded off of it after his 2nd drive today. Lucky for him he hits his 3 hybrid 290, so he was able to keep playing the rest of the round without much issue.

I checked out a stealth 2 at the shop and man I hated the way it looked at address. Not sure why. The paradym was a little nicer but the one i really liked was the g430.

Josh Lyman posted:I wasn’t watching. Is this so he can hit the last putt for the title? It's more so his playing partner can finish out first. If he putts that and the crowd goes wild Victor still needed to finish out the hole. So it's a little bit of both respect for his playing partner and so he can have the final shot on the hole.

Viktor Hovland's Stealth 3-wood failed on him last weekend. https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2023/03/05/2023-arnold-palmer-invitational-viktor-hovland-3-wood/

I don't know if it's the insanely tight tolerances everyone has to build these clubs to get improvements out of nowadays, or a general decline in overall QC with TaylorMade specifically, but every TM driver and 3W I've owned over the last 6 or 7 years has failed in some way and I keep hearing about it happening more and more with other guys I play with. Both my M1 driver and 3W had cracked faces after about 1.5 years. The SIM driver that replaced the M1 had something inside the head break loose after just under 2 years (SIM 3W seems to be hanging in there still though) and I just witnessed that Stealth 2 driver explode yesterday, which led to a conversation among our group and a bunch of other guys at lunch after the tournament about how many of our woods have cracked or broken in strange ways over the last few years. The good news is at least in my experience TM is extremely lenient when it comes to warranty replacements of all of their clubs, even after they're out of the standard replacement period. That's nice, but it also kind of makes me wonder if they know their clubs are built like poo poo and don't want the bad press of refusing to replace these things for free when they break in ways they shouldn't. Also probably at least part of why new woods are like 3x what they used to cost a few years ago.

First nine of the year. Figured I'd take it easy, hit my 7 wood off the tee mostly, just go for fairways and ease my way around. Warm-up bucket convinced me to hit a couple of drivers to see how it was going. Driver on 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16. Hit 6 of 6 fairways (to be fair, the drive on 15 was down the left side with a bit too much draw, but hit a tree and came back to the fairway. 3W on 18, fairway. Greens in regulation? #14, #17. So, 7/7 fairways, 2 of 9 greens. The grass around the greens was allowed to grow, so no fringe to speak of, but fairway-ish. However, spongy soft. Did I learn that after approaches on 10 and 11 landed just feet short of the green and one hopped and stopped? I did not.

I'm nutting my irons so well lately my distances need to be recalculated because I am straight up airmailing greens. Old swing, my gap wedge (Callaway Apex @ 48 degrees)was a pretty reliable 100 yard club, now I'm hitting it more like 110-115 but my SW(56 degree callaway jaws) only goes about 75. I guess it's best to try and play around that for now, but there's going to be situations where I need an accurate 100 yard shot and I currently don't have that. My old gap was 50 degrees and maybe that's what I need to add back. I have a free spot in my bag because I carry 1 driver 1 fairway wood 1 hybrid, 5-AW irons, SW LW Putter. At a 15HCI, I don't think I should be going at greens beyond about 180 yards( and that's a stretch) so I'm really not taking approaches with anything more than a 5i outside of big Par 3's hence the absence of a 5 wood. My Hybrid goes about 210 and my 3 wood goes about 230. If I'm in the deep poo poo, I'm no longer trying to get it home from out of that, so no real need for any lower irons for now, since I learned to take my medicine with a 7 iron and get it back in play to save a par or bogey.

Yeah, I have massive swing speed, but absolutely no spin on my driver. I’ve been playing a cobra f9 with an x flex hzrdus black, but I found out in my fitting that I was averaging around 1400 rpm spin. No wonder the ball has been dropping out of the sky at 250 yards. Playing the higher loft had me carrying more like 280, which is shocking to me. Apparently fittings are important.

Fooled around at the range yesterday, first time in a couple years I've picked up the clubs. First shot was pure of heart and straight as an arrow, and I did not hit a single ball afterwards that even rose to the level of mediocre. Now how the gently caress can that be?

12.5 with a stiff shaft seems like an unusual combo. Most drivers are adjustable +- 1.5 or 2 degrees, getting a 10.5 degree head would give you a pretty wide range to test or just get fitted

Off the top of my head: 1. you need some cavity backed 53° and 58° wedges like a Glide/CBX 2. ditch the 5 iron for another hybrid

It's this. You can crank the loft up and down, but that changes face angle and potentially lie angle, which can mess your swing up. I had turned my 10.5* F9 up to 11.5*, but that closed the face and made my mishits hook even more than normal.

My tsi3 is 9 degrees and it feels like the harder you swing the better the shot is, which sounds great...unless your swing is off for whatever reason at which point it turns to absolute dogshit.

I played in a 4 man "major" with a few buddies this past Sunday at one of those "PGA Tour replica holes" courses. I have to spot them shots (as few as 8 and as many as 14 for the highest hdcp guy). Though I don't average even par, especially during the school year where I don't get to play often, I still play off 0 for these tournaments. After the round, we calculated a best and worst ball score for the group. Best ball was an 81, worst ball was a 120. I shot an 85 and won by 6 net strokes. Nobody played great, but I played the least worst and won. I'm hoping my lovely Masters win gives Rory the energy to win the real one next month.

I don't like 25 yard gap that creates between itself and the 56, so I think I may be best served dropping my 58 in favor of a 53 and let the 56 be my LW.

Well, looks like this is going to be a thing. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tiger-woods-ex-girlfriend-lawsuit-2023 And I just got given tickets to the Monday practice round at Augusta. Exciting regardless of whether or not Tiger is playing, but it would be cool if he'd just stop doing dumb poo poo.
