I would test them if you can. Blue can get a bit spinny for me. My driver SS is 115-118 and I prefer black. I also have a shorter shaft @44” that is a Blue TR 6x I play. It’s tipped 1” to make it more stiff.

Black 6x and 7x are different in weight and handle stiffness.

I loved them both. The walk at pebble is about as good as it gets. Just enjoying the day out there is incredible. Spyglass is a tougher golf test, and I enjoyed it for that reason. I really enjoyed Spanish as well.

I’m a buy once cry once person. If there is something I want I will do my research and plan on keeping it for a while. I hate cheap shite

I unfortunately do not have any. I’ve gotten close on a Par 4 at Carter hitting the flag and another time at Santa Maria the same year but banged out.

I flew one into the edge of the cup last year from 155 out with a 9 iron and it shot off the green. I made bogey.

Wondering if I’ll ever get one. My ball doesn’t really move when it hits the green. High swing/high ball flight doesn’t give me a lot of chances

Back pin-7 iron
Front or middle-6 iron

Right in the middle of clubs for me

Take two weeks off then quit! I often think about that line when I had a bad round. Lol.

In all seriousness, I’ve gotten back into golf after about a 12 year hiatus and it’s been a lot of fun. Got a registered handicap that started as a 12 and have it all the way down to 5. It’s fun to buy new clubs, work on my game, socialize with friends and hit absolute bombs. At the end of the day, I try not to take it too seriously. I complain in my head that I didn’t break 80 or something but once I’m home and I’ve thought about it, I may have shot a score that 4 years ago would have been a great day. It’s been a fun ride and I don’t think I’ll be giving up the game anytime soon.

Take a break and come back to it. May do you some good.

One thing that helped me was to figure out which hand was doing too much work and eliminate it. For me it was the right hand.

I switched to Left Hand Low this season and my speed control has never been better.

Take the power out of the dominate hand and it will help with jerkiness in the stroke

What type of smoker?

I always find hot and fast makes chickens wings tastes the best. I do mine in the Kamado with deflectors as hot as I can get it. Other option I do is Weber kettle at about 500° indirect. Gets the Smokey charcoal flavor and crispiness.

I always make sure I pat my wings dry, then season with desired seasoning and toss in a little olive or avocado oil. Add corn starch for extra crispiness

Yes the divide and conquer system of the Kamado Joe is really handy when grilling. Setting up an indirect and direct station is nice

The Weber Kettle can do just about anything, however it is not as efficient and over time you will spend more on charcoal.

However, IMO the efficiency of the ceramic grills are why I think the food tastes better off the Weber Smokey Mountain or kettle. You get more airflow, which in turn puts out a better bark. I typically run my Big Joe 3 hot for that reason.

I have them all, BJ3, Joe Jr, Smokey Mountain, 2 Kettles, and they all put out good food. Was originally looking at the Weber Kamado but at the time there just wasn’t a lot of info surrounding them.

I think they are all great grills in their own way and the ash management system of the Weber Summit makes it a great choice for an all around grill

#spinloft the Joe Mayo technique works well for spin on the ball. Use a lob wedge and make ball first contact. Look up his technique and try it for yourself. The wet winters here in Nashville made me move away from “using the bounce” as much. It’s an easy way to flub a shot. Ball first contact ensures you won’t chili dip it 3 feet.
When it’s nice out and the course is dry, using the bounce and chipping overall is much easier. However, if I were to choose one technique in all conditions, it would be the Joe Mayo technique.
