Ese, took off Oct.-late Jan. to focus on hunting, rounding back into it. 4 rounds now under the belt since Oct., striking driver well, TSi3 and Ping 425 LST, both x-flex shafts, Mitsubishi Rogue MSi30, 70g in Ping and Project X, White Evenflow 1100, 75gr in TSi3. Wedge game is rusty and putts not dropping. Iron game coming around considering tough course conditions transitioning from winter. Shooting around 80 on avg.

Wedge game is rusty and putts not dropping. Iron game coming around considering tough course conditions transitioning from winter. Shooting around 80 on avg. I I wasn't on speaking terms with my driver for a good while. I finally decided to face the demon. I've been swinging it for about 2 weeks and managed to get by Club head speed into the mid teens, occasionally in the twenties. Which is a good 10 to 15 mph jump from what I had been swinging. The guy at Golf Tech suggested I get an extra stiff shaft, I had been playing a Tensai Orange 65 G stiff shaft and followed it with a rogue White 70 G stiff shaft. So I bought a Kai’li White 70g X shaft, now I had already hit 300 balls or so when my new shaft was delivered. Even though my back was stiff and I was tired, I dropped it in and started tinkering with the loft on my G430 Max. It's a 10.5 but I dropped it down to 9°. Launch angle was 14 to 16, head speed lingered around 110 but it cut my backspin by a thousand allowing a slower speed swing to travel farther. The ball carries 280 plus and rolls out 300 plus. I'm going to give my back a rest for a couple of days and then see how far I can really hit it. It does feel like swinging a telephone pole, but my ball doesn't move side to side as much, keep it in a fair way a lot more often.

My mom and dad were avid golfers and so are my sons. Apparently the desire to play skipped a generation in my family.

In the process of upgrading all of my clubs (irons & woods) and trying to get some good online opinions/reviews for these clubs. Every set of clubs that I have considered and did an online research for review/ratings for these clubs automatically get rave reviews Guessing they all suck up to the clubmakers/manufacturers? Is there a web site that actually gives honest reviews on golf clubs? Skinnerback did I use enough questions marks?

Is there a web site that actually gives honest reviews on golf clubs? Don't read reviews, they're merely advertisements thinly veiled as honest opinions. I use dedicated forums for info like this. The large golf forums (I am not a member of any) let you see the skill and experience level of the posters (if they are honest) by the data in their profile information ... like handicap and years experience.

So many things come into play and we all have different swings. I'm gonna get fitted probably a year and a half after I bought my last set, because my swing has changed to much.

Got a couple of free passes to Stevens Park in Dallas. Teeing off at 11:00! It's going to be a gorgeous day!
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.
