am i being disadvantaged by not using a launch monitor or is his experience enough?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>Re: need for launch monitor</title><link>https://www.titleist.com/teamtitleist/thread/67527?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 23 Feb 2012 22:03:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">9ab519fc-5311-4952-85cd-0a0ceffb73fb:24882cdb-585f-4a67-99bf-eabba2db90d1</guid><dc:creator>Joe B</dc:creator><description>Don&amp;#39;t forget a couple major parameters.
