Been playing golf for about 10 years now. Not good just average, 15 handicap for the league I'm in. Being left handed finding clubs hasn't been that easy. I play second and hand me downs mostly. Oldest just got her Masters in Nursing so she'll pretty much be off the payroll second has two more years for a Civil Engineering degree. New clubs aren't an option. (Have you priced the damn things lately? $500.00 for a driver!) So here's my question for those that golf. My used Taylor made R7 driver which is a hollow large head driver doesn't seem to connect as I think it should. Yeah it's not the Arrow it's the Indian I get it. But does anyone know if these can wear out. Do the faces after so many strikes get like an oil can and get fatigued? My irons are an older set of Callaways X22's I believe. My playing partner commented to me that they looked short for me. I measured them and yes they were by about an inch. So I lengthened them to fit my height. (Clubs have a standard length from the 3 iron down they progressively get shorter by 1/2" per club.) I now have a set of irons you could probably set micrometers to. It's a machinist thing.
I also have some older drivers that are solid head, these seem to me to be of a more sound design nothing can deflect. I suppose it wouldn't be good business to sell something that never wears out. I used to fish when I had free time and I thought those guys were suckers till golf came along. Has anyone every experimented with clubs? Drivers in particular? We can't talk about work all the time BTW. Any input or thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
