Re: Pinemeadow equipment

Well, I would think that a TLT fitted set may get you down a point or two, may help with the smother hooks (but I wager these are overactive hands and poor tempo), but you're certainly not going to start shooting 65.

It sounds like you've adapted to your set quite nicely.

But here's what TLT does - or at least a recent 'eye opener' that I've experienced:

I bought a set of Nike Pro Combos to see how TLT played with .355t heads, and just how adjustable and MOI-able they are, to see just how good I can make an OEM set that comes through the door.

Before I got these irons home, I had to pick them up in Florida (aw, shucks). So, after playing TLT for a little over a year, I played some conventional irons.

The most comfortable iron to hold was the 6. The 7 was alright, the 5 was ok, but the 6 was the bees knees. The 3 iron was far too long - I played it choked down for the week I was there, which helped but wasn't perfect. The issue came when I had to grab my 8, 9, or PW - all far too short. I felt really bent over and really out of balance. Needless to say, I was trying to leave myself about 170 in every time I played. I was more inconsistent with the clubs outside of the 6 and 7 than I've been all year. It made me realise the consistency that TLT brings to my game.

Predictably enough, when I got my irons home and spec'd them out, they matched up perfectly to my TLT 7 iron (both at 61° lie angles).

I've asked Dan again - and have started asking on other forums about those that have gone to TLT clubs - if anyone has asked for their old clubs back; so far the answer is unanimously 'no'.
