Wednesday, September 23 — South Suburban

Shot a 41 tonight, probably my best all-around round of the year. Started under a threat of rain, so we took the cart instead of walking — it never actually rained on us, since we took the cart. Seems thats the way it always works. Greens were still a little rough from recent plugging and … Read more

Golf Lesson #6: Dialing In My Chipping

Final lesson in this series (still hoping to schedule that round with Chris at some point — TBD on timing). Came in a little tired today, spent my time on Sunday hitting in the garage sim watching the Broncos game yesterday. Forearms very sore. Focus for today: chipping. The Problem Going in, I already had … Read more

Sim2 Max Vs Qi10 Driver Heads

Absolutely. And for your game, the distinction between the standard Qi10 and the Qi10 Max matters quite a bit. Since you said simply Qi10, I’ll compare your SIM2 Max against the standard Qi10, both with comparable regular-flex shafts. TaylorMade positions the standard Qi10 as a 460cc, mid-launch, mid-low-spin driver with “higher” forgiveness, while the SIM2 … Read more

Comparing Sim2 Max Vs Stealth Driver heads

Yes. If we hold the shaft essentially constant—same regular-flex shaft, similar weight and length—the comparison becomes much more useful because we’re really looking at what the driver head is doing for your swing. Based on what you’ve told me about your game—mid-handicap, currently playing a SIM2 Max, driver has recently been one of the stronger … Read more

Cobra Driver Found At Thrift store

Found this club at a thift store for cheap and I didn’t know much about it. I bought anyway. The Cobra Speed LD-M is an interesting one for you because it was designed for a golfer profile that overlaps quite a bit with what you’ve told me about your game. One clarification first: the Speed … Read more

Driver Compare: Sim2 Max Vs. Titleist TS1

These are actually two very different approaches to a regular-flex driver, and for your game the distinction matters. You currently play the TaylorMade SIM2 Max, which is essentially a maximum-forgiveness, high-MOI driver. The Titleist TS1 was designed specifically around helping moderate-swing-speed players create more clubhead speed and launch. (Titleist) SIM2 Max vs. Titleist TS1 1. … Read more

Where My Game’s At

Golf’s been a grind lately, motivation-wise, but looking back at my last few rounds, there’s actually some good stuff in here. Did really see the good until I wrote this down. Glad i did. The Rounds August 29 — South Suburban (18) Played during the Lauren’s bridal shower weekend with my brother-in-law Jim, Rick, and … Read more

I’m Down On My Game

Down on Golf I’m down on my game right now. Just down. Haven’t been playing well, and I’m not totally sure why. I know the sway is still in there — still part of my problem — and knowing it’s there and not being able to shut it off pisses me off, which probably makes … Read more

2 Rounds Weekend Of Aug 22-23

Glacier and the Bridges: A Golf Weekend, August 22–23 Jake won a raffle for a foursome at Glacier — the Valley Course near Durango, normally $250 a round, landed for just over $400 for all four of us. That kind of deal doesn’t come around often, so Friday we drove to Montrose, then got up … Read more
