Maybe I don't need a new driver?

I sold the Ping G2 this week, because it was hitting too low, and I have $165 in my Paypal account that I was going to use on a new Titleist 905T.

But, the last 2 days, I have been hitting another driver very well (for me): relatively straight, 250+ yards with nice launch angle. It's an Integra 450R 9 degree head on the Aldila NV-H 70-R shaft that I pulled from the Hogan CS-3.

Funny, when I put it together a month ago, I couldn't hit it worth a darn.

What makes a driver the crap one day and magic the next?

I'll give you one guess, and it's not the driver. :)
 
You have to give new equipment a little time. When I got the R7 I hit it like crap for about a week, pullhooking everything. Then I just teed it up a little higher and further forward, opened the face a little and gripped it lighter. I drove the green on a 315yd. par 4 twice in the same week. Now I have no excuse, I know it's me when I hit it like crap. Stick with that one for now and test a lot before you dump more $. I hit the R7 460 the other day, nice. I want to take it to the range and switch it up with my weights.

I plan to play this one this Sunday. Couldn't possibly do worse than last Sunday when I hit 1/14 fairways with my 983K.

Wait a minute! Yes, I can do worse!!
 
That phft! got a little wetter than I intended. :D

Ding Ding Ding!

Hottie wins the post of the week award for this.

Some equipment works for some and not for others. But I can tell you this, it ain't the sticks fault.

Hey, I never claimed to be ho-disease free. :D

Speaking of which, I better get another wedge. Oh right, i'm getting one from Ez.

What the hell is wrong with me. Doc, help me.

Unfortunately, you have checked into the room of the Ho-Hell entitled Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here

Resign yourself to a life of wedgiedom.
 
Rock just has a wedge fetish, no big deal, nothing to see here.......:D

Ah, Doc, just hit the Integra for a while. If you only hitting 1 out of 14 fairways I don't think its going to hurt your game any more. Yes, this coming from a man with 12 putters, but I only have one gamer, the rest are just hanging around the house or next to the Boomerange. Its more of a collection rather than a rotation.
