Picked up a few things

I couldn't do that. Sure I get the occasional short swing, but 90% of the time I'm full-on. Wonder if that's why my back always hurts...

Do you throw darts as hard as you can at a dartboard too?

Sometimes the 3/4 swings get me in trouble though. If I'm nervous during a tourney and the adrenaline is pumping, I can easily air-mail a green. I just have to remember to keep my tempo in check. Kind of like shooting free throws.

Yes, but usually because I'm drunk and standing 40' away.

Ok too many of you have said the same thing so im gonna seperate a couple of things here cause it helped me and might help you.

1. The 3/4 position IS the end of the backswing. No more arms going back from there or you gotta be pro or screw up your shot.

2. The final turn back with the body is a separate part that is best not done with the arms as it becomes an overswing from which you cant return to square.
Some guys teach the one piece takeaway but you can go 3/4 and then turn a bit also.

This is why I think clubs need to be tuned for 3/4 swings at minimum not that magnum action so many long inaccurate players have. You only get about 25% distance more from the turn.

I just don't know man. I don't really hit these GI irons any better than my blade'ish irons. I think I hit the Wilsons with no offset better. I'm keeping the G5's for a thing of beauty and i'll continue to hit both, but a good strike is a good strike with any club. As is a shank

Your post reeks of optimism. Lol you just know you are gonna find those righteous clubs.

My truly righteous clubs are the Wilson Pi7's. I bought the Pings because they are in great condition for a song. My post smells of realism.

I'd consider the g-5's on even trade for my Wilsons.....

I'd consider that as well. These Pings are in great shape. I assume you'd want to hit them first or at least see them??? Thought you didn't like G series irons. Should that go down... how do you propose getting it done? I'm not really down for paying shipping when we live so close..

Before the end of this month (when I will be up in Waupaca) we could meet somewhere halfway at some cheap course and play nine holes or so and exchange them if all works well. I really don't think it matters what irons I have in my bag or that I would hit one better then another. It would only take nine holes to find out. Sent you a pm.
