It's just amazing how you take 1 week off of not playing, how unsync you get with your swing! It's just crazy to me when I was out there!
Haha! Good call! I would def blame him as well!
My biggest thing is to not over think and just go up to the ball, take a few practice swings to make sure I am swinging right then hit the ball. I think I was just over thinking things and not setting my feet correctly when hitting my irons. So...now it's time to fix that mess!

Have been debating on a new one for a year or so and couldn’t bring myself to drop $800+ on a club I already hit pretty well and hit maybe 6-10 times a round depending on the course.
Decided to get fitted at Modern Golf to replace my current Taylor Made M1.
Hit the following with various shaft combinations:
- Ping G430 max 10k
- Cobra Darkspeed LS
- TaylorMade Qi10 LS
- Titleist GT3
Ended up buying the COBRA darkspeed LS 9° with Lina XS shaft and golf pride MCC4 grip.
Averaged 19 yards more than I hit the M1 and was consistently better dispersion than all the brand/head/shaft combos I tried. The GT3 I averaged 1 yard more then the Cobra, but worse dispersion and the shaft combo for the Cobra vs. Titleist ended up being $350 less before taxes.
After 2 rounds on the course very happy with the purchase. My ‘natural’ fade with the driver is now dead straight or even a slight draw.

That is pretty awesome! I think if I played more, I would go get fitted for all new clubs but I don't play enough and the ones I have are perfect fine. Maybe in a few years.
I really like the Redbull TaylorMade driver but I don't want to spend $600+, I would rather put that money into some cool car parts!
