I was using Ted's pattern and getting excellent compression, but too much spin given the steeper plane angle than I normally use while swinging. How much of this ballooning is it reasonable to attribute to shaft flex issues? I had plenty of sizzle and a nice solid 'crack', but it was an odd flight for as well as impact sounded. High and straight but just died at the apex without much control. A bit of a toe impact at times, given the steeper angle, which is a factor too. I guess I'll just have to convince the wife I need another set of irons for when I feel like Hitting! __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
