That’s what I’m talking about!!!! It does make you wonder how the simulators do versus reality lol It really can’t come soon enough!! But yes I will be putting in some real outdoor golf here to get ready! I had to get my irons readjusted and won’t have them until Friday this week!
[/QUOTE]
Well the simulators wer pretty close to how I played at the end of last year. Lol. But hopefully this adjustment translates on a sim in a couple days.

Always feels good to see those winter adjustments happen on the course!
This is such an awesome course to play as part of shaft up. Pretty much every hole gives you the opportunity to bomb your new driver and there are a couple of holes that allow you to try a really aggressive line to see what you’re capable of

You will definitely be able to hit it. Frankly, the only hole I remember not hitting driver was 17 (it was an option) and maybe 2

Yeah. 2 you could hit less than driver. But when your opponent smokes his to 30 yards I say driver all the way.

You are no doubt going to see gains. I never had a driver fitting before Shaft Up last year and had never played a UST shaft. I ended up with ~10mph faster ball speed and in a shaft that I have a much better feel for throughout my swing.

Danny is going to get you dialed in and unlock distance you didn’t know you had. There’s been participants that have had some ridiculous gains after only 20 minutes with him.
My fitting lasted about 10 minutes and we tried a total of two shafts. The first one he picked was a perfect match and nothing has beat it since

What I kinda want to end up with: Darkspeed LS with LinQ Blue
I just love the look of the smaller head. Not because I’m a good ball striker but because less area to miss is a good thing for me.
Honestly though I’m open to it all. The Max head is the least appealing to me but if it gives the best numbers I’m all in.
