Not that I'm any good, as my handicap is higher than the GNP of several Central American countries... I get more control with carbon fiber because of the lighter weight. But, golf is such a head game that we must each use what makes us feel more comfortable. Just think of the almost inevitable result when playing a match and you must hit the ball over a 25 yard water hazard. -- Peter |
