Interesting. I was thinking of going the other way - 8.5. Was hitting my 10.5 too high (I hope Orra's coping with it better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Is that not a 3 wood? Not with a 460cc head it's not. New innovation from taylor made apparently. I'm obviously hitting it higher than before,which is good,but I'm not losing any distance on my old callaway,maybe even gaining a few. So far it is going 220+ before dropping.

Flora MaDonald Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Ignoring the ineptitude of Zurich Insurance, Ping G25 Driver purchased. 8.5 degree, but adjustable. Needed a stiff shaft, which made a whore of a difference. 280 yds on range with nice draw, even though it's slightly off-set. Edit - you're quite right, Dandy, American Golf matching prices if you can prove it. Edited January 20, 2015 by Flora MaDonald Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffer Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Good summer for watching golf in Scotland this year. Scottish Open at Gullane, The Open at St Andrews, the new Paul Lawrie Saltire Matchplay in Aberdeen and the Dunhill Links Championship. In addition to those main tour events, there's the Scottish Hydro Challenge at Aviemore on the Challenge Tour, the Scottish Senior Open at Fairmont St Andrews, the Ladies Scottish Open at Troon and the Women's British Open at Turnberry. Lots of good stuff for watchers of golf and well spread around the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flora MaDonald Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm not brave enough to strike it off the fairway yet!!!! You could probably do it with a 14.

Orraloon Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Interesting. I was thinking of going the other way - 8.5. Was hitting my 10.5 too high (I hope Orra's coping with it better). I tried that. Didn't work for me. But you are obviously a better player than I am so you might have the skill to do it properly. I stopped hitting it so high with less back spin on it, but unfortunately I often hit it with a lot, lot more side spin and I seem to have very little control over whether it is left or right side spin. I can stand up and hit 2 balls off the same tee and they could be over 150 yards apart. I might go back to a 10.5 in the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffer Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Decent showings this weekend from Scots pros. Stephen Gallacher third in Dubai, he seems to like it out there having won it the last two years. Martin Laird close but no cigar; joint leader with two to play, then bogey double bogey lost it for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Dandy, you ever had any dealings with Scottsdale Golf? The Insurers are getting their MD to phone me about irons. Never heard of them,but they look expensive. About £50 more expensive for my irons than I was last year,but I suppose if you're not paying,it doesn't matter. I would assume they are trustworthy enough if dealing with insurance companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
