Hello guys this is my bag... 

 

just started 9 months ago, super in love for golf.

Sweet setup, looks like you got some great advice in setting up your first bag! How do you like the SIM Max and SIM Driver & 3W as a new golfer? Do you find them forgiving, or are you still having difficulty with them?

I got some help from my coach to set up my first bag, all except the irons (was my choice) he was pushing for ping g710 but I can t stand black clubs..

 

for what concern driver I am pretty satisfied with SIM Max I can hit quite ok, my main miss right and the reason is that I keep holding the angles forever and my face is wild open at impact.. 

I noticed that I hit with a little too much spin 3300 3400 rpm ( few times i tried on trackman the attack angle is positive) so i am not sure what i am doing wrong...

 

My 3 wood is my nightmare, i can t hit this club consistently, fur sure lack of practice is not helping but when the ball is on the ground there s no way that I can hit a decent shot, 

I bought that Miyazaki shaft as a second hand and here in China is considered super premium stuff but I really can t stand it.

Yeah, both of those are normal for new RH’d players...I’ve traditionally battled bad slices right and have just recently started to get it under control (usually). The biggest thing that helped me was a tip I got from an older gentleman I got paired up with one day. His tip was, to slow down your swing and control tempo, say “Ernie Els”, Ernie being the backswing and Els being the forward swing into impact. Once I slowed down and controlled tempo, started hitting a ton more shots straight and could better control the club face.

 

Also normal to struggle with the 3 Wood...hear a ton of guys say they can’t hit the 3 Wood to save their lives. 3 Wood is actually one of my favourite clubs and I’m pretty consistent with it off the Tee, but many struggle with it.

I am in a dilemma now, 

I play a round with a ping g425 max 10.5  borrowed from a friend.

I hit 16 fairway on 18 something never happened with my taylor made

Super clean nice set!  Being relatively new I'd say you had extremely good taste!  Play well. 

[llamont]

That’s a sweet setup for being in the game less than a year!  Play what makes you happy!!  Hit’em well!!

[Smokingbs]

man i am absolutely a lucky guy to have such a set up 

 

I know and i am so blessed 

 

but the reality is that is no need cause these clubs doesn t let me score better  

 

when i poorly hit a ball the ball doesn t go anywhere

Loft the 3 wood up to give you more help in getting it airborne, it might serve you better as a tee club until you get it grooved and confidence built from the deck.

 

Focus on clubs you can hit solid and get it moving closer to the hole and playable on each shot versus just hitting the longest possible club on approaches.

 

I score better with lower lofted wedges around the greens and only use loft when I have to get over a hazard or thick rough.

Love the modus shafts, wish I still played them
