Hey guys, I'm new here. Glad I found the place as I have killed many of hours just browsing and reading different threads!

Anyways, 28 years old, married, 1 year old daughter.

Left handed - long swing (I'm 6'4"), non-consistent hitter, nothing outstanding about my game.

 

WITB

Driver - Taylormade R9

5w - Taylormade V-Steel (at least 5 years old, I'd bet)

 

Irons

4-A = Taylormade R9 irons

(I swear, I'm a bit of a Taylormade fan boy...)

56 degree Cleveland SW

60 degree Cleveland recovery LW (not a huge fan of this club)

Putter is a mallet Odyssey White Hot

 

I hit a stiff shaft on my driver and 5 wood, irons are all steel shafts.

My local tract is a 9 hole, par 36 that has three sets of tees, reds, whites, and blues. Slope from the blues is 114, rating 35.1 - I know none of what those mean.

I have no idea what my handicap is...I shoot anywhere from a 40 to a 46 when I'm out playing.

 

With my height, I think my shafts are a bit short, and I might look into customs. I play about 3 times a week, if all goes well. Nothing real competitive on our course, club championship, the rest are mostly best ball tourney's which turn into booze fests (which I'm perfectly okay with).

 

I was hitting my irons solid to start the year, but was working to fix a troublesome slice on my driver. I turned my bottom hand over a bit more, which kept the club face square through impact - however, that has now rolled over into a draw/hook (duck hook sometimes) with my irons, which I hate. Working it out...or trying to.

 

So, that's me..

Welcome aboard!

Yeah, at 6'4" you may need longer shafts. I'd suggest seeing a local pro for a fitting. Nice bag, though.

You're my son's age and I've been playing longer than he has been alive and I still can't hit my driver consistently

Welcome to WRX.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Hopefully I'll get out for our courses weekly Men's night, and see if I can get my irons figured out. Maybe even sneak in a lunch break round tomorrow..we'll see!
