Upgraded Sticks

Irons: 690.CB 3-9 Stiff
PW: Titleist Vokey Black Nickel 248.06

Greater accuracy and a lower ball flight result with the stiffer shafts. Thats good on both accounts.

Quiet

Thanks to everyone that has frequented 18 Friday lately. My short off season is in full bloom... I've got a new bag shaping up, but no golf for a bit as its pretty cold (for Washington).

As for the clubs... when the season starts up again (hopefull next week) I'll be playing Titleist 690.CB's in 3 through 9-iron, a Black Nickel 248.06 PW and the rest of the bag the same so far. I really need to get my woods shafts changed out as I am way overloading these regular shafts. It makes life very difficult and the fairway hard to find. I realized how much of a difference it was making when I started playing the new irons in stiff shafts.

So anyway, thats about it. Things will probably be quiet around here until the season starts up again.

Putting Advice

I did a piece over at The Sand Trap .com about Nick Price. He's a fascinating guy with an impressive record. His putting turned around when he took Leadbetter's advice to slow just his putting tempo down a bit. He tried to remember "Slower, longer, lower" and it worked wonders. It really helped me putting on the carpet just now too. :-)

Go get em!

A Fade?!

Yep, I actually am fading the ball. Well, not consistently but I feel its a weapon that I might be able to pull out from time to time now. Like my benevelont friend Guy used to say, my idea of a fade is a six foot draw. Strangely enough I was doing nothing but sending it right in October. But, whatever.

Lets raise our glasses to major improvement in 2006. Cheers!
