I was wondering more about the physical length of your driver shaft. I wasn't clear. Apologies.

You might be able to find a club like the X-Hot 3 Deep at 14.5, which is a deep faced 3-wood, to work as a driver. I wouldn't try it off the deck too often (unless you play on zoysia).

Honestly, the best thing you can do is find a good pro who offers reasonably-priced lessons. Make sure that he uses video. If he does, he can connect it to a laptop and you can download it onto a flash drive so you can view your swings (good and bad) so you know what to do.

Conversely, you could just try this:

I made a pretty radical tweak this afternoon. I have a tendency for my LH to get way, way too strong on the club (like four knuckles at address). It affects the consistency of every shot I play because I have to play with a shut face and hold off the release.

I weakened my grip to 1.5 knuckles, first starting with chips and pitches. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I hit the ball significantly more consistently. It also made a difference in my full swings as well. It much easier to feel like you can go after the ball w/o fear of it going left.

Also, I tried hitting the X2 Hot 3 Deep, as I was considering a safe driver/two-wood.

Didn't care for it at all. My 15* TEE was longer off the tee and deck and easier to elevate.

In the end it will make it easier on your body and easier to repeat. I think it's a pretty smart move.

same reason I'm not a big fan of dust in Johnsons swing

I was just getting ready to bump this thread.

Just spent 4 days in Alabama playing all three courses at RTJ Capitol Hill and the two at RTJ Grand National.

Capitol Hill is a must-play, IMO. Three courses on property, all very different.

The Judge is the course they are known for, and it's a beast. Played about as well as I'm capable of playing and still shot a 93. Hard, hard golf course. You could hit the middle of the fairway or a green and still roll into a hazard. Tee shot on #1 is incredible - 200 foot drop with the Mongomery skyline in the distance, trees left and water right.

The Senator is a links style course that hosts the LPGA Yokohama Classic. Tons of blind shots and HUGE greens - if you're on the wrong level, forget it. Above the hole, forget it. Best round there was an 83 with FIVE three-putts.

The Legislator was a tree-lined course and according to the course rating and slope is the hardest - I'd completely disagree. Keep the ball in play and it's nowhere near as penal as the Judge. Great shotmaker's course.

I'd heard great things about Grand National near Auburn, so we drove over and played 36. The Lakes course is hosting the PGA's Barbasol Championship this summer - they have a TON of work to do, or the pros are going to grumble. Conditioning was pretty poor. Pros should carve that place up.

7 rounds of golf in 4 days and a 9 hour drive each way - I feel like a bag of smashed assholes today.

I've heard good things about thag area. Gonna have to make a trip down there. We're going to Bandon this summer, so pumped for that.

Will be starting up again soon. I'm sure I still suck, but I'm sure I'll keep throwing money into the game like a boat owner throws money in a lake..

Btw, I've got a scotty cameron I'd like to sell, will take best offer for it.

It's this model. Got the original headcover.

My stroke doesn't fit a gooseneck putter.

FWIW, a lot of places are offering 150% of trade value now. With the way Cameron's hold their prices, you may want to go that route instead of paying eBay/PP fees.

I went away from the offset style as well.

Im not to worried about making anything on it, just seeing if anyone was interested although I hadn't thought of trading it in. Interesting

How much do you want for it?

That was my first Scotty. Nice flatstick.

Wouldn't mind having it for a backup if the price was right.

How much you give for it?o:-)

Tree fiddy?

I'd love to get 100 bucks for it I suppose
