Scooter McGavin's WITB

[Scooter McGavin]

First post

I've been lurking on the forums for a few years now, mostly looking at reviews and upcoming equipment. I've recently decided that I wanted to change the shaft in my TM Tour Burner driver, and figured I'd ask to see whether anyone here had tried something they really liked. After reading some of the other WITBs I decided I'd start there first.

I'm snowbound right now (Canada), so a few of my clubs have yet to see real grass, but they have spent some time at the indoor range. I'm 32, about a 15 handicap, a self-confessed club ho, and a TaylorMade honk. I've never done much in the way of modification to my clubs, aside from lengths and grips, but I'd welcome any advice that may help me improve my scoring.

Here's what I'll be playing with this year:






TM Tour Burner 10.5 R
TM Burner High Launch 5W R
TM Burner High launch 4H R
TM Tour Burner 4-PW R
Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 52, 58
Cleveland CG12 RTG DSG 64
TM Rossa Monza Spider

Nice solid set up, love the grips.

What's the area you need to improve most?

[Scooter McGavin]

Thanks. I had been using Winn Xi7s for the last few years, and I tried the GP grips on my pro's Pings and I loved the feel of them.

Probably my biggest problem right now is shot dispersion. My two main misses are a block right, or a nasty duck hook.

Sounds like you might be taking the club back on the inside, that can cause both shots you're talking about.

Next time you're at the range place a coin or tee about a foot behind the ball, use that as a reference point to check your swing plain.

I just posted a WITB a couple of hours ago, would be iterested to get your feedback.

Cheers
