I must be close to 25 rounds with these 3DPs. I've played cold days, hot days, windy days, lush conditions and the last few rounds firm links. Overall, great irons, they do everything I want in terms of direction and control, except for one thing. I really can't hit high shots when I want to. It's really perplexing. First week I had them, they felt a touch higher vs T150, but after the honeymoon, I've overall lost peak height. It may have cost me a few years, not sure. As we all know, lower spin, so that might explain the lower flight, but I'm holding greens just fine. These irons have been the most accurate / straight. But every once in awhile, I catch the top of a green side bunker and roll back in it because I've lost that 3-4 yards of carry. With so many people talking about how they hit these irons higher I'm starting to wonder if the MMT shafts are the problem. I've never played MMTs before and truth be told I don't exactly find them lively. If anything, a little tip stiff. Next step will be to weaken the lofts 2 degrees and see what happens. Then lethals different shafts. Can't complain too much, I'm hitting more greens than ever. Playing some links this week in England/Wales. Last three rounds: 75, 74, 76...and I'm not making many birdies as the slower green speeds in UK are driving me nuts.

If anybody wants to hit these irons, find me next week in Newquay! I'll be giving these irons the Cornwall test and following up here!

Of course he did...one for warmup, but as usual he thought the tournament started on Friday and was LIV holes.

Couple of years ago in Nashville I'm heading up to my hotel room after a night at the Twelve Thirty Club. I get in the lift, doors close, but just as they almost close I can see someone trying to get the up button last second. Being the polite guy I am, I hit the open door button and who's standing right there, Alice. I did hear he had a show that night so all I could say was "how was the show?". He was like great, have to hit the sack, early tee time! Such the anti-rock star, it was cool.

Easy fix, if you can't definitively see the penalty in real time playback (and no zooming in) then it didn't happen. It's the 240 fps slow motion playback that's unfair. And what the tech has also ruined in these situations is a player will not take charge. They defer to officials for the final decision because they don't want to get roasted as a cheater on social media.

Please golf gods, don't give us an Open where everyone falls to the pressure except Scottie. Last thing we want is Scottie going into Sunday with a 5 shot lead. It's been said many, many times before; an Open without a bit of gnarly weather is not an Open. It's pretty rare to get 4 calm days in a row at Portrush, but here we are... And it's boring! There's been little wind and 5 minutes of real rain...boo! P.S. Lowry penalty was completely stupid P.S.S. If you are going to play desert golf, you need to one "beat up" iron in the bag or borrow your friend's club 😉 Question: Can Kate Upton throw a pitch? Because her husband sure can't.

The perils of getting involved in sports picks, indecisiveness, and the effects on your short game. Pretty standard stuff.

He did, shocking. I am tempted to go back to the DVR and watch a bit as I am curious what change did he make that somehow escaped him day 1.

A friend of mine I play 18 with every now and then is like Bryson in terms of power. He wanted to be on tour and as a junior/early adult player he was very good, hits it long, putts well. He could never quite breakthrough, still plays, still hits it a long way. But the one thing he could not do to save his life is flight the ball down with his irons. Wedges yes, but from 4i - 9i, just sky high balls. That just does not work on windy days which in N. Ireland happens on all days that end in 'y'. Trying to overpower a course works in plushy U.S., but U.K...not so much.

What course is Bryson playing?!?! Even Justin Leonard can finish under par.

Ooops!

@touch have to make a chance... Just not sure on Hatton, so give me Ryan Fox. Thanks!

Jeez... If baseball players were any more fragile, they would be... Golfers
