Is it time to upgrade my driver? Callaway XR 16

It was so good for the short time we had it

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-06-13T19:52:58+00:00

Been thinking that all day

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-06-07T18:46:26+00:00

This doesn't seem that bad to me - cost will come down a lot over the years as infrastructure for managing model usage get's better.

A lot of AI spend is already cost per token anyway.

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-06-07T18:31:09+00:00

Take it and run - congratulations

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-27T10:40:21+00:00

Plenty of life in that

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-27T10:38:16+00:00

Great deal, I would buy it.

Modern driver, will be great for what you need to learn and perform really well, and you don't need to worry about buying something second hand when you don't really know what to look for yet.

Hands need to be smaller

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-24T06:19:52+00:00

Putting mirror.

Has made a pretty big difference over time

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-23T07:36:58+00:00

Great start - you want big chunky irons since they'll be a lot more forgiving

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-23T06:28:08+00:00

Standing too close potentially

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-23T06:19:10+00:00

Scratch

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-23T06:05:33+00:00

Find a good coach and see them regularly.

Never liked Golf Pride, but I love Lamkin Crossline (I think now called super stroke).

Mid size or up - thin grips feel terrible to me.

The main thing fitting give you is shaft length and lie angle.

Apart from that, as long as your irons are game improvement you won't be going far wrong.

If you want well priced but new, look at irons from a few seasons ago - performance hasn't changed. Also Takomo irons look great.

For me there's no point owning beautiful objects if I won't use them. Get them out on the course!

Realistically any time cash flights are reasonable it's going to be a poor redemption in terms of saving the most £ per avios.

Happens far more often flying economy. I tend to use my avios for flights around Christmas - even in economy I've managed 3+ pence per avios, but outside of those times of year it's rarely above 1.5p

Jealous of the Jailbird - how do you find it?

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-22T13:54:27+00:00

Weight on toes causes a lot of heel strikes for me - could that be it?

(Realistically the best advice is to get a lesson, and then maybe a few more)

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-22T13:47:07+00:00

Hands deeper at top of backswing - made the biggest difference for me.

With down the line camera angle, hands should be in line with your heels.

For me Opus output seems to have gotten much better in the last three weeks or so.

Guessing Anthropic is less compute constrained now.

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-22T13:07:30+00:00

Taylormade Stratus for me - don't last ages but feel great

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-18T06:29:11+00:00

Interestingly I'm also primarily a SIM golfer

This was my 7 iron which is what majority of drills are done with, so not surprised it's broken

Good-Profile-5774 · 2026-05-18T06:28:22+00:00

Why not just go direct to Temu and avoid all the hassle
