SuperMn106 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I got some new clubs this past week. I traded my Nike Slingshots in on some Nike SQ Sumo Irons. Yesterday was my first round with them. I am very pleased. Everything that I read about them was true. My ball flight was a lot higher than what it used to be and the ball went farther. My 4 iron with the slingshots used to go about 180-185. I hit my 4 iron 3 times yesterday. There were two par threes that were 195 and 205. Both 4 iron shots were on the green. One was 8 ft from the hole and the other was 15 ft. It only took 3-4 shots to get used to them. All around I was pleased. I shot a 46. Could have been better but could have been worse. I played from the blue tees. I did find a new way to lag putt. If you are about 20+ feet away and just want to lag putt. Get lined up and look at the hole. Dont look at the ball. When you make your putting stroke never take your eye off the hole. It feels like your rolling the ball at the hole and you can control your long distances better.

Not sure that would work for me. The main thing I focus on when attempting a lag putt is to make solid contact with the sweet spot. I have a Ping Anser Karsten putter and the difference between the sweet spot and bad contact can be huge. It's whatever works for you though. I have a few buddies who always look at the hole, even on short putts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
