I might be interested if the price is right. using this KS1 is nice, but i'd like a heavier blade and i dont wanna spend the 80 bucks for the weight kit for the KS1, so why not spend a few hundred on a Scotty cameron? https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3693961&userid=62388&perpage=40&pagenumber=21#post525638246 Some pics of when I got it.

It’s basically stock off the shelf only thing I’ve changed is put a superstroke grip on it. I swapped out the weights but I have the stock ones too. Here’s some current pics and also a TM Spider I have. https://imgur.com/a/Wt97Ubj $350 shipped?

I have GAS and am a tinkerer at heart but I refuse to look at putters because that is an acquisition syndrome I simply can not afford. Rocking a Yes! Gina blade for as long as I can hold out.

Late night online golf shopping has caused some dents over the last few weeks. I can't not buy clearance items. It's a problem. PXG 0811X driver Wilson Infinite Putter and now a Cobra Aerojet 3 wood At least I got those heavily discounted. I'm staying away from putters because every time I touch an oddessy blade AI one it feels great and I don't wanna spend $750 on a single club. I'll never touch a Scotty Cameron or LAB or those Bettinardi or whatever. I'm better off not knowing what I'm missing.

mattfl posted:Ya that would work. Shoot me an email mattfl at the gmails donezo. As an aside, it was 70 degrees yesterday in Michigan, so i went to the range. I'd been playing on a sim for months, so i hadn't seen how any shot i took improved outside of the computer. I'd had a loft issue and my swing was awful/wooden before the end of last season. So with some lessons and practice and setup changes i went today expecting nothing and was a bit sore from working out that morning. However, my shot shape was night and day from what it was before. I feel like now i get a little -too much- loft from some of my clubs, but the distances were looking pretty good with range balls and it was so loving awesome to hear that nice click off the face and good travel for the first time outdoors since last year.

For some people's partners the trigger to knowing your joint account is about to take a hit is walking into the PGA Superstore. For others it's hearing the intro music to a TXG/ClubChampion video. For my wife its hearing me say "oh cool, GolfPartnerUSA is having another sale!"

I love their zstars, hate the Qstar. I've run thru most of the big name online only balls. Snell isn't durable enough for me, vice are pretty good at the top end, but not great pricing until you buy like 5 dozen. I like the Cut Grey, and they're cheap, but they have had reported quality control issues.

I typically hit kirklands or the occasional sleeve of supersofts in a matte finish. I do love a pro v1, but i dont wanna pay pro v1 money.

My excess guitar sold today so I guess I'm going to turn the money into excess golf clubs soon.  I'm thinking of getting some new irons. I'm curious to see how much has changed since my dad/uncles early 2000s stuff. I briefly considered a set of Takomos before discovering that I could get some forge tec cobras for not much more and with the chance to actually try before I buy. I'm going to try some mizunos and Titleist and maybe even the TaylorMade p790s to compare against the cobras. Hoping I like the cobras the best since they're the cheapest.

I have the Forge Tec X, and i'm a big fan of them, they felt really good and look pretty great too. i know the Forge Tec irons are more of a players distance iron, and the X's in between a Game Improvement and PD iron from what reviews have said. Hopefully you like them!

Anyone ever get shin splints from golfing? Couple of weeks ago on the first tee, with a brand new pair of FootJoy spineless shoes, my back (right) foot slipped a little on my tee shot. Thought nothing of it, aside from shanking the poo poo out of the ball. Around the turn I was having some pretty sharp pain in my lower left leg. Played last week and yesterday, pain is constant. I’ve also been doing some running which is new for me, but I started running after I first noticed it. Tonight, went to the range with my son and 3 hours later I’m in pretty decent pain. Calling my doc tomorrow because I’m really afraid it’s a fracture or something.

Yes go see your doc, do not loving wait for it to heal on its own. I hurt myself last September and just started PT last week, don't be me.

Muscle strain, no tears no fractures. Also no PT just rest. Also no golf for 3 weeks atleast. Which, works out since I won’t have much time in March to play.

Not gonna lie, I am never going to play a hybrid again. Those things are the devil. You can catch a heater randomly and pick up 10+ yards. I put a 4 iron back in my bag and love it. 7 wood also works. mattfl posted:It’s basically stock off the shelf only thing I’ve changed is put a superstroke grip on it. I swapped out the weights but I have the stock ones too. The one thing about LAB putters is you have to get them fitted for your setup. If you don’t, the mechanics behind them don’t work or train bad habits.

Watched Not a scratch golfer on YouTube and listened to his philosophy on course management and blitzed my local par 3 today. Despite horrendous tee shots I was only in danger of a double bogey a couple times, and made almost all putts in 2 shots or less. Scored my second ever birdie which was much more impressive than my first. 15 yards from on the fringe of the green, and in it went. Had the exact same kind of putt on the final hole and put it half an inch from the hole. Half an inch to the right and I would've had a 2 birdie round. Good day of golf.

I watched a few of his videos and most of it is spot on with how everyone should approach golf. Especially the “boring golf” video. It’s hard to mentally embrace that on the course sometimes though. But, it’s something I’m trying to work on.

Ugh, so i've been getting lessons from a PGA Pro, and while he has given me one or two good tools, we just don't gel. I'm finding myself unable to put what he's telling me into practice, and i can't understand what he's trying to convey. So i have a lesson, it doesn't translate, and then i gently caress myself up trying to fit myself into a mold that i can't fit into, and then mentally i just implode and have an awful loving time golfing. I went from making good contact, and being a little right on my golf shots, to a wicked loving slice or blocking all my shots from my 7i down through my driver, and it's absolutely maddening. I paid for 5 lessons and after 3 i think i'm just gonna cut my losses and find someone I can work with that helps me really understand my shot, how it should feel, what drills will work for me. etc. etc. because i leave every lesson not having any clue what the hell is going on, and it's loving with me something fierce, and i spend my entire next time playing on the sim or at the range or on the course pissed and angry that i don't get it. I was at the range yesterday (thank you 71 degrees in michigan) and i watched a driver shot travel just block so hard right it went like 8 bays+ right. If it was a dogleg right I would be absolute money every time with a shot like this. On the sim it's absolutely like 2500+ rpm of side spin, and my path is showing to be sightly out to in, instead of the in to out i want. i *think* im not squaring my face at impact, and because i'm going out to in slightly, it's making contact at the right point, and then rolling hard off the face slightly to cause that loving path. I don't see it with my short irons because my swing plane feels steeper. either way, i'm having a bad time and i needed to vent, I bought a tripod yesterday, and I'm gonna try to snag some video of my swing to see if i notice anything that i'm not consciously doing. Everyone including the PGA pro said my take away was great, and my back swing was right where it needed to be, so it's gonna be my arms/wrist or body in the downswing (aka my entire swing lol) and i hope i can see what i'm doing and adjust.

Where are you at in Michigan? I have a dude I can recommend in the Ann Arbor area. Otherwise yeah, post a video. 2500+ sidespin means you’re probably swiping across it out to in, it can be tricky to figure out what you’re doing without someone else watching or a video.

I'm in Livonia, a guy i go to the sim with isn't a PGA pro, but he does golf instruction on the side. I'm gonna try to get a lesson from him and see if we gel. He's my league partner and my financial advisor as well, weirdly enough. He said one thing and corrected one issue i had with regards to me swinging my clubs and i understood what he wanted, and made more consistent swings/distance than i ever have before, so if we can make it work for me he might be a good option. Whos your guy in A2? The Sim I go to is by my old work, in Lake Orion, so i'm driving an hour each way to golf, but i pay a flat rate and can use the sim whenever i want, so it's not some ridiculous cost like xgolf.

https://lakeforestgc.com/adam-ming/ He does his lessons off grass tees with trackman in the summer, which is really nice. He also uses an app called coachnow where he sends you videos from the lesson marked up with him taking over them, reviewing everything you did in the lesson. You can send him pictures/questions/videos for a few weeks after the lesson and he’ll mark up your videos and give feedback on your progress. e: example feedback from an iron lesson last summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zp6sLlXXSJk. He usually does one face-on and one down the line for each club you worked on. xsf421 fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Mar 5, 2024 |
