    Right arm straightening at impact (5/10,000 second) is
    most timing demanding.

    Best shafts are designed with no spine. eg Nunchuk
    and are not timing demanding.

    I’m sorry, I don’t think that’s how those adapters work. I get what you are saying about spines and puring, and that’s a subject of some debate as to whether or not that’s something or a load of hooey. But the main point is that in order for the adapter to work, it has to be oriented in the clubhead a certain way. You “lock in” the loft and lie settings with the cogs, but then you have to insert them in alignement on the bottom of the head. If you keep turning it you’re just setting it to a different combination. It’s all in the Optifit instructions: https://www.callawaygolf.com/optifitinstructions/

    Also, totally off topic but does anyone else get huge Gary Cole vibes from Shawn Clement? You know, the guy that played Ricky Bobby’s dad, Reese Bobby?

      Any shaft that exhibits that these days shouldn’t be played.

Knudson vs. Tursky: “3-Club Challenge” (with a Ben Hogan driver from the 1960s)

Published

on

Recently, ahead of the 2023 Rocket Mortgage Classic, GolfWRX.com’s “Two Guys Talking Golf” podcast hosts Brian Knudson and Andrew Tursky played a 3-Club Challenge at Rackham Golf Course in Huntington Woods, Michigan.

Tursky, as a scratch golfer, used a 3-club set, while Knudson, a 9-handicapper, used his full bag.

The rules were simple: Play a 9-hole match play at Rackham’s back nine. Every time Tursky makes a par or birdie, he gets to add a club to the bag. Every time Tursky makes a double bogey or worse, he removes a club from the bag.

The catch was that Knudson got to pick the clubs that Tursky had to use, and he didn’t make things easy. Knudson had Tursky start with a Ben Hogan persimmon driver with a steel shaft, a Ben Hogan Apex blade 7-iron with a G-Loomis IMX Boron shaft, and a Cleveland RTX ZipCore “Sip Groove” 52-degree promotional wedge, with an extremely light swing weight.

Check out the full match (plus a bonus double-or-nothing 18th hole!) in the video at the top of the page.

Clement: The key to making your practice swing your actual swing

Published

If I had a dollar for every time I hear a golfer say, “My practice swing looks and feels great but when I go to the ball…”

Here is a major reason why that is and you will not hear this from any other teaching academy except ours (for years) for the moment. And it works for every single golfer!
