Is Newer Better?

Does 5 years of technology make a difference?

I wondered the same thing

So I built the modern version of my current set of irons and decided to test them out



THE TEST

1️⃣First I tested my current 7 iron (2015) to get a baseline

2️⃣Then I hit the 2021 model with the same shaft from my 2015 set

3️⃣Then I tested 16 additional shafts on the new head

The results were in 🙌

Lets look at the top 5



TOP 5

Out of the 17 combinations, my top 5 was filled with my current head/shaft combo and 4 new head/shaft combos



WHAT MAKES THEM GOOD

The success of the top 5 comes down to 3 key components

👉BALL SPEED
👉TRAJECTORY
👉LANDING ANGLE

It’s all about getting the ball to fly in the optimal window for the shot you’re trying to hit



CONCLUSION

It was good to know that my old set still holds up with the new stuff

Which is a good reminder that sometimes an older set can be just as good as a newer

But It’s also comforting to know I can gain an extra few yards with different shafts

The next step is going to see what moving into a game improvement or super game improvement category can do for my game

  SERVICE REVIEW:  DR. MIKE FITZSIMMONS ProActive Spine and Movement 2761 E Trinity Mills Rd; Suite #100, Carrollton, TX 75006 As a PGA Golf Professional, it’s important my body is able to move properly. Whether it’s playing the game I love, or helping others through coaching or club fitting, I’m constantly on my feet, moving, bending, twisting, and loading high levels of force on my body. With a minor herniation in my lower back, I’ve had a history of back injuries that creep in from time to time and take me away from what I love doing most. Over the years I’ve gone to see a handful of Chiropractors and have usually had less than desirable experiences. Dr. Mike Fitzsimmons of ProActive Spine and Movement, however, is different. Dr. Mike’s approach is more than just a “rack n’ crack.” While manipulations are part of his toolbox of techniques for improving the way you move, it’s only one of the many tools he uses. Blending traditional chiropractic techniques with physical thera...

Up and Down: A PGA Professional's Perspective on Golf and Philosophy

Image
  Up and Down: A PGA Professional’s Perspective on Golf and Philosophy As a PGA Professional, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how golf transcends being just a sport and evolves into a profound metaphor for life. The rhythmic sound of a well-struck ball, the lush greens stretching out before us - it’s more than just a game; it’s a philosophical journey through the ups and downs of existence. 1. Guiding the Trajectory: In golf, much like in life, the trajectory of the ball represents our journey. From the initial drive off the tee to navigating hazards and undulating greens, every shot mirrors the twists and turns life throws our way. As a PGA Professional, I find joy in guiding golfers to embrace the unpredictability, emphasizing adaptability, persistence, and strategic thinking on their golfing and existential journeys. 2.
