Biggest issue with high lofted woods is playing in windy conditions..


I built a T250 4 iron with an Axiom Graphite shaft that I switch out if it's super windy.

I'm a +3 and have added a 7W and 9W in the past 6 months, and don't regret it one bit. I can now be more aggressive on long par 3s and par 5s.

Gerald Swindle is her step dad . :lol:

My wife is from Cullman. This chick is a nut job and def isn’t afraid to spread it for a few dead presidents.
I'd like to keep playing good golf, so that's a no for me dawg.

Although, aside from a Miura, that may be the sexiest iron I've ever seen.
Past yr and a half, I would say… finally learned how to make putts consistently.

I live in a golf community, and have my own cart.

Unless I'm just hammered (VERY rare)... my speaker stays quiet enough that I can hold a conversation with whoever is in the cart with me.

Worst take I've seen on this board...
I agree with this... I think it's the starting lines he is taking... I don't think it's his stroke.

f even par is a "really bad" round for you, you should be way lower than a +2.3. You must be playing a very easy/short course for a 60 and a pair of 63s, while otherwise being consistently under par to only be a +2.3. What is typical your course rated?


The 60 was shot on my old home course back in NC… it’s very short. Only 6000ish from the tips and is a par 70.

I am a member at Canebrake, in North Alabama… it’s at 7400 from the tips.

Currently a +2.3….

I started consistently shooting around even par when I started working at a golf course while in college. I was able to get my short game really good by practicing a lot. Still couldn’t putt that great, so I rarely shot less than 1-2 under.

Now, since I put the TM ZT putter in my bag a yr ago, I’ve shot scores of 60, 63 twice, and and consistently under par. If I shoot above even, I’ve played really bad.

Cut down on missing greens from 125 yds and in.

Learn to lag putt to avoid 3 putts.


Learn to accept course management. This will easily save you a couple shots a round.

Don't fight it... just embrace it... extra gloves and towels this time of year is a must... wash grips periodically as well.

Damn, it is supposed to shine outdoors. Was it a pain to setup / get level etc?



I apologize... I have not used the one that was posted in the review... his was the little one that fits in a front shorts pocket.

A buddy of mine let me borrow his Mevo and I wasn't impressed at all... I know you get what you pay for, but i was getting readings of 160 yds with a 50 degree wedge, all the way down to 95 yds. This was outdoors with Titleist Practice range balls as well.
You hang em, we bang em!

Only way to tell is to go get fitted... sometimes it's not all about distance... newer driver's have much tighter dispersion charts vs older ones, imo.

TM’s woods were once the gold standard and the fanboys still will say they are, but IMO they’ve been passed up.


You’re very wrong… i personally know a PGA Tour player, who is a Titleist staffer, that just put a TM 7W in his bag.
Fire Bubba Cunningham. What a shite hire.
Will be very very hard to get the GT2 out of my bag.
