When Rory McIlroy was victorious I wrote about his humility then recently I learned that he ranted at a fellow pro who was a commentator who may have criticised him saying that he was just a pro who barely made it and has no right to talk. Sad or maybe it was just the heat of the moment? Pressure and disappointment can make us all like that? So if you are not hitting with the right sticks, you may end up with more pressure you set yourself up for and irons has the most sticks in a golf bag than driver, putter, wood or hybrid. They are the bread and butter clubs so to speak. It pays that you know not what is best, sold the most or is the latest but what is suited to your game. There are three types of irons - "Player's", "Game Improvement (GI)" and "Super Game Improvement" (SGI). Players'c clubs are like blades or TP (Tour Preferred), Game Improvement has midsized club heads and SGI clubs are those with extreme perimeter weighting and the bigges...

I know it is only February. It has been getting really hot recently so I decided to give my hair less like a trim and more like a shave with the sides and back from first cut rough to green with a green speed of 12 on a Stimpmeter. (On green speed and the Stimpmeter please see link): http://gforce-guru.blogspot.com/2009/09/green-speed-stimpmeter.html It's HSBC Women's Championship again. A friend has the privilege of playing with Brittany Lancicome at the Tanah Merah Garden Course and commented that her average drive was 250m and it was fast and accurate. I want you to watch this clip comparing Ai Miyazato with Brittany Lancicome and you will see an amazing swing with stunning speed by the latter and a very good comparison comparing swing style so that visually you can see differences when on the course: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykPsqBdjSXc There you have it - fear not the weapon but the hand that wields it. I am not here right now to show you how to swing but...

R What? The driver is perhaps golf's most intriguing club and rightly so. Recently I spoke to two persons and the topic centered on drivers. One bought a R11. What is distinct about the R11 from TaylorMade? If you have ever played Taylormade drivers such as the r5, r7, R9, R9 460, R9 SuperTri you will understand roughly what the R11 could be. When they first came out with the R9 it was about 420cc in club head size with a D4 swing weight, torque at 3.5, length of 45.25 and shaft weight at 65g and it offered only MVT (Movable Weight Technology). This clubs should be used by better players just for the head size alone. Following the R9 along came the R9 460 which as the name suggest now comes in a bigger head at 460cc with similar swingweight, torque but now with a longer length at 45.75. Torque is 3.1 for Aldila shaft and 3.5 (60g) for Fujikura Motore (65g) but there is an absence of MVT but they gave us FCT (Flight Control Technology). Maybe at this point, they haven...
