I'm with Ezra ,on the strike against drivers!

[tn-golfnut-from-nj]

I hope Twofast wont be mad, but I just traded the HiBore I ho-ed off of him, for 6 Mizzuno irons.
Now I have a bag for the truck, so I dont have to take it out, and put it back in, everytime I get home, or when I leave out.

Bought a Big Bertha 2 iron at the range, for 18 dollars.
Took a few swings to get used to it, the head is a little heavier then my Clevelands.

I teed it up, so the ball is just barely off the ground.
Hitting some consistantly pure shots with it.

We dont have accurate measurments on the range, so I wont really know how far it's going, untill I hit the course with it.

I"m guessing just over 200, because my 3 iron off the tee, goes about 200 (depending on the roll) and this 2 iron is just a tad longer.

So for now, the only thing in my bag that is not a putter or an iron, is a 7wood, and a hybrid.

Good for you. It's helping my swing out a lot and playing more consistant. Unfortunately I'm probably going to have 3 drivers next week.

 

[ualtim]

Damn, you gotta be fast around here. You beat me too it, Ez. :laugh:

 

[chemboy2]

Sorry but I can't support this movement. My last round, every time I tried to play it safe with a 3W off the tee I got into trouble, however, I missed only one fairway all day with my driver.

 

[West Coast Duffer]

I actually hit my driver much better than a 3 or 5 wood. can't hit fairway woods for shite.

Oh, come on now..You can't leave me out there all by myself without a driver.
I'd look silly.
Besides, if you break 80, 10 times in a row by next week, I'll buy you a driver.

 

[Wi-Golfer]

I will not be joining your "no drivers" brigade. Currently have the Burner, R7 460, FT-3 & waiting for the G2. I want to take a bag with nothing but drivers to the range & possibly the course just to get a chuckle from peoples expressions.

Oh, yea, that'll take a while if I stick by that. Maybe I'll change it to 90 ten times in a row.

Same here. I've finally found a driver that I hit well.

Mizuno MX-500 w/BB Solutions.

My driver is now a weapon, and not a liability. Of course, I tend to swing my driver back to parallel, meaning the head doesn't touch the ground in front of my left foot on my backswing, like Ezra.

 

[ezra76]

Ouch, that hurt.

I wish I could stop it, believe me. That's sort of another reason I'm not using a driver, the swing is shorter with every other club and I'm getting used to swinging in control with good tempo. Hopefully the driver swing will be similar eventually. 3W is not hurting distance all that much. Hit 3W, 3iron into a par 5 today, 3i went left into the greenside bunker though.

 

[SolderJockey]

For about a month last year I carried only hybrids, irons, wedges and a
putter and averaged about 3 strokes better. It was nice being in the
fairway consistently. That said, since I'm a short hitter, I think I need the
extra distance from a Driver or 3W. This year's range time will be spent mostly
getting ALL my woods straighter.

 

[dave.]

Pair of girly men, you ho a million drivers and then start using 3 woods, you slacktards.

 

[DaGris]

...never really have a problem hitting the driver....they are big as a grape fruit! how in the world cant you hit one now?!.........

 

[-IceMan-]

No driver for me and no woods either. Coaches order. I can hit the driver fine, but they want the whole team to work on the Long Irons.

Face angle at impact. My FTi always had nearly every ballmark high dead center when I cleaned it after a round or range session. Unfortunately dead center means nothing if it's 20* open or shut.
