How is your knee? It's funny you mention knee-swelling because my father is actually going through the same thing right now from when he blew out his knee playing baseball in his younger days, he just had surgery two days ago.

Thanks for the congrats SLF -I've actually been shooting very well since I broke 80 - there is just so much more confidence for me in club selection because I know my yardages and my putting is quite satisfactory. Since breaking 80, I've played only twice, both rounds of 76 - my 3wood on the same par 5 keeps acting up, might have to toss it, but other than that everything feels spot on.
sounds like your doing great matt, mid 70's is pretty good there man. at the range try running through your bag on a day when you are hitting well, if a club is not acting the same as other clubs then it could be the shaft does not match well with the other shafts, different sized grips, or the offset and internal weighting can be different. Sometiems it is as simple as the clubs dont match and not a swing flaw of yours.

As far as the knee, it seems like it might be a partial ligament tear from surfing, I plan on playing but only swinging at what feels like 50%, funny thing is the other day while playing three holes with my 6 year old nephew I hit driver 4 iron into a 506 yard par 5 swing easy and hit it as long as normal

Keeep up the good work man, and it sounds like you may be breaking 70 soon, btw, when are you going to update your handicap, sounds as if you should be in the single digits by now
