Hey all.
So, gave the clubs (Titleist AP1 irons), 915D, 915F, 816H and the Nike method matter M4 putter a go for the first time. I was taking notes on the phone between swings. 100 balls. Here are the notes. Wondering if anyone would like to comment? Plan is to go take a few lessons or even the Yarra Bend 4 week coaching clinic to try and work on the game before I hit the course and then try and get my handicap. A beginner so go easy people
7iron between 140 to 150 yards. Some straight some draw and some fade (unintentional)
6iron between 160 to 170 yards mostly draw and some fade.
9iron shanked a few at the start but figured the club face was too closed so opened the club face a bit more and started to get some loft. Hitting slices a fair bit but some straight as well.
Wedge 60degrees around 75-85 yards. Hit a couple with a extreme loft that barely got to 50-60 yards. Hitting mostly straight.
Fairway wood between 170-190 yards
Hybrid wood between 140-150yards
I found the fairway wood a lot easier to middle the ball off for some reason. A real easy club to swing and a real joy.
Driver around 190-200yards. Lot of loft to begin with. I think the tee on the mat was way too high so compensated by putting the ball in the middle of my stance and then started swinging them sweet. Not many balls left so went for it and the last few balls were coming out smoking hot.
Putting wayward. Balls anywhere from 5-10 feet away on long putts. Missing the 5 foot putts for par.
Overall, out of 100 balls, around 10 or so would have been topped, hit along the ground or really bad swings not worth it on the course in a proper round.
