TWEET OF THE WEEK
@joeypickavance: "Physics/Science tell us "more handicap players should not even carry a 3-wood" due to lack of clubhead speed for this club to be effective." -- PGA Professional Joey Pickavance, director of instruction at Pronghorn Club in Bend, Ore.
@ThePCreamer I wish I could blame it on the actual putter but my taylormade daytona ghost is not at fault! It is me and in-between my ears!!!
Mike Fay, PGA
@mikefaygolf Question about regripping: It really depends upon how often you play. I think a good rule of thumb is regrip every 45 rounds or 6 mo.
@mikefaygolf Question about: which club to chip with...The more room you have to work with, the less loft and vice versa.
FootJoy
@FootJoy Congrats to world #1 @WestwoodLee for 2nd straight win, this time wearing all white #DryJoysTour and #SciFlex. 35th career win. Wow.

Hank Haney, PGA
@HankDHaney Not that different honestly, forged more expensive to make RT @mrbarrera: @HankDHaney forged or cast? Which is better iron?
@HankDHaney Yes might need lie adjusted or new driver shaft RT @ej0513: played for two yrs, been fitted before, my swing has changed, get fitted again?
@HankDHaney Both good RT @MC_73: @HankDHaney Hi Hank, would you recommend the forged AP2 or cast AP1 iron for a 13hc golfer?
@HankDHaney I would RT @DavePlaz22: I have old procombos - extremely accurate - distance short by half a club to full club. As a 6 should I go 2.0?

@HankDHaney Huge difference RT @Sportswinner: @HankDHaney big difference between 7 year old Adams tight lies irons from today's or time for new irons?
@HankDHaney Not many don't RT @foster0130: you always tell amateurs even scratch players toplay cavity backs..should this apply to more tour pros?
@HankDHaney Only if u want to hit it better RT @chrisg9119: now use titleist zm blades hit them good. would u still recommend changing them to a cb?
@HankDHaney Never they get new wedges at least 2-3 times a year RT @AndrewHansen: how often do pros sharpen grooves? Is there a good tool they use?

APRIL 25
Joey Pickavance, PGA
@joeypickavance Physics/Science tell us "more handicap players should not even carry a 3-wood" due to lack of clubhead speed for this club to be effective.
Tyrus York, PGA
@tyrusyork @joeypickavance couldn't agree more. I've told several of my students to dump the 3 wood and get a 4 wood. Or 4 wood w/ 3 wood shaft.
