If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Yeah...I need this thread to bitch about how I don't golf enough and then to bitch about how bad I suck when I do finally get out. Don't ruin this for me!!

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

I still need to get a new (to me anyway) driver before the season ramps up.

Ah, Lemonparty, the 8th sacrament.

I got a used Callaway FT-9 driver for $50 on eBay.

Dudes getting rid of great stuff on eBay after a year or two is a joy in life.

New gear that manufacturers unload through eBay is where its at. Or callawaypreowned.com.

Quite frankly, I think JLN owes me an apology. That first page is peppered with answers, explanations and useful information from me.

[Well above 120 mph with a hybrid is only happening in fantasyland.

These are stats from the golfers on the PGA Tour. Juice is claiming that he generates a higher club head speed than the average professional golfer. Fantasyland indeed.

Honey, not vinegar.

So you're saying I'm lying about the output of the system, when the reliability of the system is what I asked about when I brought it up?

Thanks for proving your own condescension.
Will these apologies from you two be via PM or what?

I'm saying that your claims are bullshit, because they are.

If anybody needs to apologize, it's you to Furious Styles.

So you're calling me a liar. That the system didn't really say that. Thanks for perfectly illustrating your condescension, I'll keep an eye out for that apology!

You want me to apologize for not believing that you generate far more club head speed with a hybrid than the average professional golfer does with a driver?

You fucking baby.

TaylorMade releases a new driver every two weeks. Prices won't go up.

Club Champion is offering 50% off full bag  and 33% off all individual fittings through end of January. You can basically hit every head/shaft combo.

I know nothing about that simulator, but you should try to see spin rate and launch angle at the very least in order to optimize the driver/settings

There is typically no medium flex. Keep in mind flex is a relative term - shafts can play weak to flex, stiff to flex or anywhere in between.  What shaft do you have in the R15? It's common for Taylormade stock shafts to play weak to flex.  There are also "made for" versions of aftermarket shafts that are typically watered-down versions of the original. I generally play regular flex in my clubs (better shafts that play true to flex), but would probably be fit into stiff for stock shafts.

Also, Taylormade is known for horrible manufacturing tolerances. Your 12* driver could actually be anywhere from 10-14*. Same with the shaft specs. That is why you should get fitted, especially at higher swing speeds. I experimented last season with a "made for" Fubuki shaft in a newer Callaway driver and it felt "loose" compared to the real- deal Fubuki.  My dispersion was clearly much better.

If the current R15 shaft isn't a good fit, there are tons of inexpensive aftermarket shafts w/the appropriate adapter on eBay.

Also JLN, flex is just one factor when it comes to shafts. Weight, length and bend profile are just as important, if not more, than flex.

We lose a lot of rights when we look the other way when it doesn't affect our lives or it isn't a cause we agree with.
