Irons Update…Oops I Cracked My Driver
I put the new 695MB irons into play today in a recreational round at Woodside. As expected, they’re setup right and perform great.
Unfortunately, after almost 2 years of steady use, the face of my 905S driver cracked today. I expect I did it on the 5th hole because I absolutely nailed one that flew about 300. From then on, most of my drives were “spinny” up and to the left. I thought it was just the swing changes I’m making that weren’t stable, but now I suspect it was the cracked driver.
This driver performed incredibly well for a long time. It’s about the longest-lived driver I’ve ever played. I have a backup 905S, but am not thrilled about how it sets up. It looks a bit closed to me. So, I have a call in to Titleist for a replacement.
Today’s round at Woodside was great progress. I made 5 birdies against one bogey on the Jones course…always a good test. I’m very pleased with where I am compared to late last week when I decided to withdraw from the Monday qualifier. This is about the timeline I expected when I made the decision. I figured I would have more frequent good performance early in the week and get more consistent throughout the week.
