my favorite thing is reading this thread from the start and all the statements of “fact” that we either know are wrong or there is no corroboration at this time.
i hit the dsx 3w today. i’m not a 3w guy, but this did better than any in memory. 148 ball speed lofted up as high as it would go (i’m a low launch guy). it felt so good out of the middle. spin was very good as well. i got into a nice groove of consistent carry, just a pleasure to hit. big...
super late to this party but spent a little time with the dsx 3w today. whoa. this thing looks perfect and feels great. it was stupid consistent with decent swings. i do want a true fitting with it, but it’s at the top of my list. freaking loved it.
WOW. this is incredibly cool. even at that price they're super tempting. who doesn't want blade shape, look, feel and consistency but with gi level forgiveness? this is goldilocks territory.
to scratch:
driving distance - 259y, i'm longer but not by a ton
driving accuracy - 51%, i'm only at 45%
gir - 56%, i'm only at 44%
up/down - 57%, i'm only at 37%
1p - 5.2, i'm at 4.9
3p - 1.3, i'm at 0.6
putts - 30.7, i'm at 31.3
birdies - 2.2, i'm at 1.6
bogeys - 4.6, i'm at 6.1
doubles or...
for sure, the dtl wasn't quite as good. you can even see the club get a little stuck in the ground which means 1) takeaway was too inside and 2) i didn't stand up through impact early enough. but my practice has been very good lately, so i'm encouraged.
i don't disagree that there's often sticker shock when you finish a fitting with cc, true spec, cool clubs, etc. but you can look at comparative numbers among all options you hit and decide for yourself whether the results from the most expensive option justifies the extra cost over any less...
i'd rather see them take all their latest tech and put it in the shape of f9 with the same f9 sound/feel. my gawd that driver was sex on a freaking stick.
saw that yesterday, but good on them for doing the right thing instead of taking money and providing an inferior product. ...like i've heard bandon is currently doing...
i’ve practiced a handful of times since the lesson, and it was been very encouraging.
the first part of practice is putting a tee in the ground and just making the move, trying to hear “that sound” when the bounce hits the ground and tee, also feeling the freedom in the swing. then i’ll hit...
fo, this was one better. i didn’t squat down as much, i kept my spacing better and there’s a little more freedom in the swing
dtl, this one was just ok
this is the feel/picture we’re working on. the big takeaways are 1) that his club head finishes on the right side of the target line, and 2) it finishes about waist high. my move is the opposite: club finishes very low and very left.
