Just a little change of pace from club talk.

 

Played with 3jackpar today - he flew into SoCal from Mich for biz and we played - from plane to rental car to course. (El Dorado for any of you in SoCal)

 

Early this summer I was playing lights out for me. Now I’m just playing in the dark. Good lord that was awful. The only thing I did well was club-slamming.

 

But 3jack... this is the 3rd time we’ve played together. Last time he drilled an ace from 175 with a 7 iron.

 

But this time. Wow. He drove the ball farther than I ever saw anyone hit it. Several past 300, one in the 340 range. Just killed it and just to top it off he must have had 6-8-10(?) birdie putts inside 15’. Iron play was just consistent great with his sweet Scratch blades. I was telling him I have seen lower scores but I don’t think I ever saw anyone hit it as good as he did today. Incredible. If he had putted a little better he could have been way under par. I told him he was channeling McIlroy.

 

(Did I mention I sucked? In fact, ‘sucked’ exaggerates my performance. I mean you usually have something that works. Nope. Not today. It was the kind of day you look at your blades and think ‘who am I kidding?’)

 

So we finished 4:30 ish and I played 9 more. Walked 27. I am Thor. (He can’t play, either.) By the time I finished that 9 I started to find something. Left feeling optimistic again. Found the secret. Just get the crap beat out of you till you finally find some rhythm.

 

Can’t wait to play again.

 

Stupid game.

I needed clubs with AI and a battery pack. No speed, left then right, chunked chips, putts that rolled like they were drunk. ("Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?")

I had a round like that last month. Didn't have a clue what I was doing with the swing, Your description of "playing in the dark" is fitting. I was even topping my 4w off the tee. Terrible ball striking, but at least my wedge play and putting was OK.

 

Now I'm hitting it OK again. Golf is weird.

[BIG STU]

I have a questions for my blades people. I currently got a set of MP-32's in a trade and finally glued one up to toy around with. I was at the range this weekend and hit the MP32 8 iron that has 39* of loft and compared it to my JPX 900F 9 iron with 40* degrees of loft. The flight of the MP-32, was a lot lower. I have PX in my 9 iron and Modus 120X in the MP-32 8 iron. I was expecting a the MP-32 to launch a little higher because of the shaft. Is it because of the added spin that the MP-32 is launching lower?

Your expectations were incorrect. Mp32 and jpx 900F are completely different heads and the shafts are pretty irrelevant in this scenario. The mp32 is going to launch lower than the jpx.

 

In general, are blades going to launch lower? Or is it just the MP-32 head that is lower launching? I don't mind the lower launch since I am a high ball player, but it was weird seeing the ball in a different launch window than I am normally used to.

32s and 33s are an entirely different head weight wise and weight placement wise from a JPX--- And I do know gram wise the 32 and 33 heads themselves are lighter. When I played 33s I had to lead tape the crap out of them down low to get them to launch like I wanted them to. My friend that is a Miura dealer and builder cut me in on that little tidbit about the weight

I've been through that. I played Eye2+ for an entire year. Didn't change a thing, had a lot of the same crap rounds that WB described. It was one of my motivators in playing what was going to be a single round with blades again, which resulted in my friend telling me "you hit those better, why aren't you playing those all the time."

 

And here we are.

 

There's no magic wand

Now I'm hitting it OK again. Golf is weird.

 

As I'm sure I've mentioned I've had my fair share of rounds like this this year, from monthly medals where I never saw a fairway, to a round at the 2010 at Celtic Manor where I was far enough off to spend most of the day looking into water to see if my ball was reachable - in every single one I've been contemplating if all this work and turmoil is really worth it, then I'll put a 7 iron to 6 feet and I'll decide that it is. Well, apart from the game at Celtic Manor, I could still be playing that today and not have that moment :)

 

Having said that I have been going through some Faldo-esque swing changes to try and gain some control over where the ball is going to go off the tee, which has resulted in far too many days where I'm stuck between the old swing and the new swing, and end up with the worst of both worlds. Happy to say I feel like I'm getting there now in terms of keeping arms and body in sync on the way through (it's all in the shoulders), but it's been painful getting here. I have found OOB that people weren't even aware was reachable, had more unplayables than I can ever remember and managed to miss the fairway by so much I needed a 6 iron to get back to it. But the last couple of weeks I've been hitting it beautifully, and have gained a useful bit of distance to boot.

 

Just in time for the end of the season. Yay.

I just dropped off my backup set of '99 Ben Hogan Apex Blades (3-E) at the Iron Factory in Glendale, AZ for some spa treatment. I'm thinking of softstepping TT DG Tour Issue X100s in those and adding wooden dowels and 8" of caulk backing. Grip with BestGrips Augusta microperf grips.

Can’t wait to play again.

 

Stupid game.

Always a pleasure playing with you, C! While I appreciate the sentiment, I think my man is giving me a bit too much credit for this round. I did hit the ball very well -- probably in the top 5 for the year for me when you add up driving and iron play -- the drives I missed were pretty big misses (a big hook off the first tee; a snapper later in the round, which is very out of character for me since I switched to hitting a fade; and a couple of really bad blocks). I can only think of one iron shot that I really missed, which is a really, really good day for me. In a year where I've drastically improved my putting and generally struggled with ballstriking (the opposite of my game for almost my entire golf life), it was a bit disappointing to hit it so well and get nothing out of it scoring-wise. For the most part this year, I've been grinding out scores by making putts and making up for my mistakes with the short game, and to finally hit the ball so well and still shoot 3-over just feels like a missed opportunity.

As wmblake mentioned, I hit some pretty huge drives on a couple of holes that put me in really good positions to score. Two of the better ones, were on short par 4s where I was left with about 30 yards on one of them, and little more than a straightforward chip on the other. The first one, I had a bad lie and hit a terrible pitch that barely stayed on the green, and I 3-putted, and the other, I only managed to convert into a par. Those two holes are the difference between 75 and 72, and there were a bunch of other missed opportunities on the greens that could have made that round something pretty special. As always, golf is hard.

 

One other thing I took from the round is that there can be value in just taking a little time off. My last round was over a week and a half before in a tournament, and I struggled badly off the tee, and to a lesser degree with my irons. The second round of the tournament, I finished birdie-eagle, and still shot 83. Because of travel for work and some other commitments, I didn't touch a club between the tournament and yesterday (but did have a chance to hit some balls before the round to get a feel for things), and I generally felt refreshed and excited to play again. I know a lot of us, especially those like me who live in places where the season is somewhat limited, feel the need to play and practice as much as we can while we can, but there are times, where a bit of a mental reboot can be helpful.

When I glued the 8 iron up, I was able to get D4 swingweight with no added weight to the head. I do play my irons a 1/2" long.

The 1/2 " does make a difference. I had always hit heavy clubs having grown up hitting Spalding Elite Blades and Mac Blades. I could still hit a club then and I think I had mine around D4 or D5 @ std length. I think Standard SW in those days with tip weights was D2--- I do know I had the tip weights out because I could never stand a club "slugged in the hosel" as the old timers called it. I had a bad hooking problem in my teens and 20s and a club with hosel weight only added to my woes

I just dropped off my backup set of '99 Ben Hogan Apex Blades (3-E) at the Iron Factory in Glendale, AZ for some spa treatment. I'm thinking of softstepping TT DG Tour Issue X100s in those and adding wooden dowels and 8" of caulk backing. Grip with BestGrips Augusta microperf grips.

Robot explain to me what you are talking about on "caulk backing" seriously because that is a new one on me

[Fellaheen51]

Not RD Stu. But I think what he's referring to is using 3/8" foam backer rod (aka caulk backing) down the shaft for vibration dampening. A DIY version of Prosoft inserts. Jam the length down the shaft to set it in place. Obtained very inexpensively at places like HD. Read about doing this over in tech.

 

The wooden dowel thing is interesting. Old school. Been curious how much of a difference adding dowels into the tips makes. Supposedly to make the club feel more solid at impact.

Stu, the caulk backing is like sensicore vibration dampening. I just did these to the AP2s I am currently gaming. Not sure how well this works (along with the wooden dowels) but then again I am a head case and technical junkie. Softstepping, wooden dowels, caulk backing. Good grief. :D :D :D

Thanks Fella ok got it now. I thought for a minute he was talking about putting liquid bath tub caulk down a shaft. Adding dowels will stiffen a tip in addition to adding weight both depends on how far up length wise you put the dowel. The real old school guys used to use oak or hickory plugs

What should the general weight a 5 iron blade be? 257g? I have never weighed my irons heads before and know there should be a 7g difference between heads (progressing higher in weight with the shorter irons). I prefer a D2 swingweight and have always added lead tape to achieve this. I am not opposed to shaft plug weights but knowing the head weight is essential in this, I would think. Thanks in advance.

That sounds about right but there is no "standard" as far as I know. I have a slew of irons and finished weight can vary 35 grams for the same iron number. Obviously shaft is a big variable but that does not account for all of it. More important that symmetry from club to club in set is done to desire.

Went out for a round today. Bit of wind, humid, with some rain. I was going to take some Tourstage CBs, but decided at the last minute to put in my RAM Tour Grinds (4-PW), with a V-steel 9w instead of the 3i (the 9w is more like a 4i in terms of distance, however).

I've been having a terrible time with golf the last 3 months or so, as my swing had gone completely to pot. However, after some time off, I figured what I was doing wrong, and knowing is half the battle, right? I am now working on ways to fix it, and I think I pretty much have it, just need to ingrain it.

So I played to today, and managed to go out in 39, including a triple on one hole when I had to take a penalty. Coming in was not so good, mainly because my tee shots were poor today, and I had an OB when I aimed a blind 5i shot too far to the right (I aimed the next ball correctly and put it on the green, but cleverly chose that hole to have my one three-putt of the day for another triple).

Wedges were OK, especially from 50 yards in, which was pleasing because that's something I've been working on for the last 2 years.

I still need some practice to get the new swing feeling ingrained, but I think have seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Aside from a couple of horrors, I hit some good irons, including this 7i that landed about a foot and a half from the hole and span back to about 4~5ft (I made the putt).

Nice shot. Seriously though, who brings their putter headcover onto the green? :D

You do still have MP18s, do you not? I don't think I could bring myself to leave them at home.

[No_Catchy_Nickname]

Oops. Fair point. Not sure why I left it on, but I was rushing a bit because I ran back to the cart to grab my phone to take the picture (my playing partner's suggestion). Not that I needed to rush because there was no one behind us.

Leaving my MP4s at home is even harder
