re: Fairway woods selections

Posted by Batman86 on 8/17/26 at 10:22 am to
I love the thought. I have a qi35 7 wood and it’s amazing. Carries 235-240 and flies like a wedge. I’m tempted to put a 9 wood in.

9 wood with high apex and spin. Like a 175 yard wedge for you.

Dangerous club. Would recommend TaylorMade or Ping 9 wood.

Spinner may spin too much.
Clearly the man is unreal…..one stat I hadn’t looked at before now is Proximity ranking.

He’s 103rd this year to date….

2025 - 1st
2024 - 2nd
2023 - 12th

But man - when he has the putts inside 20’. He’s just not rolling em well….
I don’t disagree. But clearly it’s not working for him as of late……something is off.
I’ve personally struggled with the Y word. And just know this Claw is a short term fix, but you can’t release the putter properly. He’s clearly struggling with hitting his lines and seems to be holding off the natural flow of the putter head.

He has a plumber’s neck and needs to go back to traditional grip or overlap to let the putter release!

He can’t make much right now……

Def a risky move by Bryson.

I suspect he will come out tomorrow more locked in than ever before…..

Will make for a fun Saturday and Sunday!!
Uclub - great track. Nice facilities. Great pool etc. I know folks will say you can’t get tee times. But Tuesday thru Thursday is very doable. And can get times on the weekend. Just not as flexible. Plus have Corporate membership level.

That place is about to take a hit. They just put a requirement on F&B spend per quarter and members dropping like flies.

You can get tee times Tuesday to Thursday no prob. Seems like the regulars grab their times when slots open. But I’ve never had an issue. Also weekend times are available - just may not be the exact window you want.

Little intel says he’s going 5th pick in the Draft - no ways he’s coming back. Per a source close to the War Room.
So cool!

First person from Iceland to play in the US Open!! Congrats for sure.

Geaux Tigers!

Qi35 7 wood in my bag and it’s a weapon.

I also have a G440 max 4 wood. That’s really good! Just tuning it up now since it’s new.

Edwin watts sucks. Go elsewhere.

Driver shaft? Schneider’s Golf Mechanics on Bluebonnet has the entire Ventus line up as well as others.

Where are you doing it?

I suggest going in being Brand agnostic. Don’t ask what they are giving you. But pay attention to feels and give feedback.
Would love to see Rors and Reed in the final group once this weekend. Lots of tension normally between those two. Plus LIV v. PGA. Great drama
Overall a great track. Great people! Grass conditions were solid when I played there two weeks ago. Greens were slick. Rolled better than their appearance.

There are certainly some really tough holes there that are just fun to play. 2, 6, 10, 11, 12 are quite demanding.

Practice facilities are great too!

Give it a go!

Oh I’ve got one of those! It’s an old Arnold Palmer branded toy - it’s in my office and is a ton of fun!

Never too old!

Several options. But where do you live? Greater BR area?

TPC and Carter aren’t comparable. TPC is hands down the better track.

re: Qi35 3 wood

Posted by Batman86 on 3/29/26 at 3:47 pm to
Qi35 fairway woods are really good. I have a 7 wood core model and have loved it. Plenty of pga players using these as well.
Matt at Schneider’s is great! I’m not sure what driver heads he has to demo. But he has tons of shaft options and is a good golfer himself.
