Yeah – I like Rory, about time someone had some balls and a bit of character.

He and Sergio are top to watch… HOW GOOD is Rory’s pitching and chipping.

BTW: Rory and Tiger a good mates according to Faldo

Geez,

now you get a caddie… are their not Carts ???

Where does Sven, I mean shoulders live, he owes me a favour or two…

This thread, as said before, was to find out what shafts are like planks, nothing more.

Yeah – right . . .

Read your first three posts again and come back to me on that…

Is your real name Sven ?

It is OK, but tip it half an inch… they are a bit of a spin machine.

NXT Tour – feels a bit wierd in the hands – but it is a top notch ball.

o.k. mate, look for a long drive plank. If you have a hard time finding one, I know where there is 12 of them. Sorry I miss read it.They will be the best bet.

Yeah, I give up to . . . I just cannot argue with him anymore… every sentence that comes out is unknowledgable drivil with absolutley no effort put into learning at all.

Go and find something is 105gr and X or XX. UST and Aldila do them.

“Feel” is distance control, but that is a whole new thread. Though I do love “Feel is the receptor for feedback”, I can’t stop laughing at that one.

...& how much will that add to the total $$ of the clubs?

Most clubfitters will do it for $5-15 a club depending on the work required.

Topic: Golf Equipment / Stiffest graphite driver shaft.

Please explain?

Love to . .

If the shaft is too stiff, you don’t put enough load on the shaft to kick it forward and square the clubface and add the correct loft to the shot.

So all shots with good swings go low, right and about 150m … (Right handers . . .)

SO then you try and swing harder… and on a couple you may get them a touch higher – but still going right with no spin…

SOOOOO then you start flipping the hands to square up the clubface – now it is going straighter, but still way too low or you come up with some BS line about “Yep… lots of run on that shot”

But every now and then on the range – you will time that flip of the hands to perfection – and it will beautifully through the air… low spin and a decent height…

The problem being – you have butchered your once great swing to suit a shaft that doesn’t suit you.

Hence as I said – the wrong shaft will butcher your swing.

Topic: Golf Equipment / Stiffest graphite driver shaft.

OK,

Let’s see if I can have as much patience as Nigel.

1. You don’t know what “feel” is… you are replacing “feel” with feedback. Feel is created by mechanics – and you don’t have the mechanics….

2. Learn what the shaft does – WHY it has to flex, and why the ball will go about 40m further if it does flex. Look at photo’s of the shaft at impact and try and work out why we NEED the shaft to kick.

3. The part I quoted is proof of someone searching for something that does not exist, and nor would you want it to exist. I would compare your questions and theories to some describing “4 wheel drift in a car doing 20km/h”.

4. Your preferences are rubbish and they are caused by a person who thinks the shaft flexing is why he cannot hit a fairway when it is actually because he is swinging the shaft in the wrong direction.

5. You are still at a stage in your golfing career where you are fixing made up symptoms instead of actual causes, and until you sort that out in your brain, you will continue to be heading out on wild goose chases like this.

So “Cowboy the f*ck up” and start working on the parts of the game that will actually get some results while you are young and have the time. Otherwise you will end up in your 30’s still searching for something that never existed.

Sorry Nige – guess I don’t

Topic: Golf Equipment / Stiffest graphite driver shaft.

Nice cop-out, but not up to your usual standards.

Your Quote – Merely preference. I like a “concrete” feel in that the shaft doest move anywhere it is not directed, and that simply isnt possible ifyou can feel the shaft flex.

The tail is wagging the dog . . . and I ain’t feeding the monkeys anymore.

I have found my TM rescue mid is becoming a hooking machine. I’m a lefty, so it’s difficult to trial different products, so any recommendations would help narrow my search.

Don’t change the club – just get get the club more from the inside and out the the left more…

I repeat DO NOT CHANGE THE CLUB, it actually suits you.

Don’t quit now on me !!! You are so close to a decent shot.

Topic: Golf Equipment / Stiffest graphite driver shaft.

Mind you, the more I read around here, I’m getting this uneasy feeling I’m actually one of those turkeys that flips the club through impact. I certainly don’t roll the R wrist over the L in the through swing like Tiger does…

Don’t worry – you are not alone . .

The shaft usually throws the body out of whack to cause the hooks – the lack of feel in a stiff shaft just adds to this.

If you want to learn how to lose the flip – grab a ladies shaft and swing that at a ball…. you will learn way more.

Topic: Golf Equipment / Stiffest graphite driver shaft.

I’m a little intrigued as to why you are so fascinated by this thread?

Because not once have you asked what a stiffer and heavier shaft will do to your swing . . . You are in fact, re-inventing the wheel.

I have seen your swing – it is pretty ordinary and while I love the experimentation – it really is just a waste of time as anyone here with half a brain will tell you.

If you want the right shaft – post your latest video and Nigel or myself will spend 5 minutes and come back with 4 or 5 shafts to choose from based on our shaft profiling software. Give us your driver swing speed as well as the video.

Your REAL problem is finding the right head . . . and then finding a swing that doesn’t quit at the ball…

In fact forget project X unless you can get the 8 iron past 170m

Topic: Golf Equipment / Question - New irons?

Good move – now go and take the X-18 to a clubfitter and get the lies done and shorten the bloody things…

They will be at least 1” long…

God I hate these Callaway pricks. Lets make the head stupidly light so I can make the clubs longer . . . then the one time they get it in the middle . . BOOM – big long shot… makes you forget the other 50 shots all over the place…

Who ever you take it too will weight the head down and shorten it to something like standard – or whatever suits you…

Topic: Ask Golf Guru - Golf Instruction / Hockey to golf

The alignments at impact are not much different . . .

Like most sports – the arms and hands lean the club, or bat or javilin or ball…

So why is it different for 95% of golfers. . .

Topic: Ask Golf Guru - Golf Instruction / Selecting a Driver shaft

Isn’t it possible for a 16 handicap to actually hit the driver pretty well? And just be really crap at hitting wedges or chipping or putting or all three?

Nope – if you can get your impact alignments correct for a driver – then you can VERY easily get the alignments right for a wedge and 8 irons…

Thats whu all these wankers who reckon they can flush the driver 260-270m but “just can’t chip or putt” are full of shite.

What is really happening is that they are timing the flip of their hands every now and then with the big dog, but when the “finesse” shots come into it – all the badness shows…

As I tell most of my students – LISTEN to the ball – forget watching it… LISTEN…

Virge, heres a real test for you, GGM+Diga+myself 3BBB Vs you.

Would love to play – not fussed about where – though I will be in the Gold Coast. Brookwater is fine… I played off the blues and shot 76 there last year, and I absolutley love the place, but it may be a bit far for everyone.

Otherwise the local or the Glades is good. I will be up on a Sunday morning and leaving late on Monday, so I guess a Sunday tee time in a local comp will be good.

Let me get my dates right and I will come back…

Easy EE – thursday nights, Narabeen range… anyone else is invited also, I usually take the video camera and if this place ever gets it’s act together with some decent bloody software, i can do the video appraisals again.
