Go MMT, Axiom, Steelfiber, LAGolf: all have shafts in the 125 gram or so range.

Glad they created a golf subforum. Thanks, GoatBoy!

As a former golf professional, I don’t think it is appropriate to provide golf instruction over the internet. There are too many variables to assess someone’s body type/mechanics to accurately correct their swing, unless an in person lesson is provided.

Lots of good intentions in this thread, but I would encourage anyone serious about improving their game to find a good instructor that they can communicate with to work with.

I will say, the most important aspect of switching to graphite shafts was the “feeling” of the weight of the club head versus the weight of the head and the shaft combined. This has a lot to do with grip pressure. Try to “feel” the club head only.

Going from "We were busy after winning the Masters, didn't have time to prepare" to taking the lead today was great. But watching a YouTube underdog go wire to wire was also something.

Both are great to watch in different ways. I enjoy watching the Bryan Bros on YouTube and really hope Wesley gets another tour win. People don’t seem to realize he won the RBC Heritage in 2017.

Scottie may be a boring person, but he’s playing golf that hasn’t been matched since peak Tiger. Best ball striker on the planet and it’s not even close right now.

It also probably relieves a lot of joint stress that he'd have if he was "planted"

I also really like his brief practice swing (straight arms, elbows together & long arc). It works wonders, especially through & past the ball on follow-through. It reminded me of the Eric Corgorno video below that I have bookmarked. I've worked on it a bit myself and it feels pretty good.

I see it as well and have tried to help several people when asked at the range. Collapsing the right arm at the top is not good. I've seen several Rob Cheney videos and he discusses the trail elbow at 4:40.
