AndrewP posted:Especially since dunking it into water is only a stroke. Yeah it seems silly to me too. Most of the muni courses I’m on don’t actually have markings for penalty areas so it is up to me, the self-assigned course committee, to designate those areas, and that means those woods and brush over there is a penalty area. One stroke.

I got myself a Cobra King Speedzone Xtreme Driver (club names are absurd sometimes) for what seems like the pretty decent price of $250, it has an Arccos sensor built in and came with an offer for a free set of sensors + 90 days of Arccos premium, so that's a pretty nice bonus

Making sure your clubs fit your stance and swing is probably a bigger deal than which irons you use, but there is probably a store near you that'll let you demo. Just be sure to take your old ones in too so you can compare your numbers right there On that topic, is it just me or do stores tweak their simulators to play at like 15000 ft, my numbers always seem a bit juiced

canadianclassic posted:hmm that's a good point I suppose. Probably need an actual club fitter to achieve that? I live in a remote location and was eyeing up some used G400s for a very reasonable price (online order so wouldn't be able to try first). That said if you’re fairly average height and don’t have abnormally long or short arms and aren’t trying to win your club championship, standard sized clubs would probably work fine, and you can match the flex of your current clubs (or adjust up or down if they’re too whippy or stiff), so if you see a solid deal on some used clubs go for it, worst case you can probably sell them to someone else for about the same amount.

I started this spring, grew out of the starter hand-me-down set I had, and i bought a set of irons at Gigagolf since they were cheap and let me do custom length/lie. I'm sure people have feelings on knock-off brands but I love 'em. I'm currently hitting my 7 around 170 and I don't think the clubs are limiting me at all yet. The set of new 5i-SW cost me like $240 shipped, which is significantly less money than I was able to find for any used sets that were made in the last 15-20 years. I've since added a 4 hybrid from them and it also hits really well, i can hit it 220-230 and straight consistently (I'm playing in Denver so my numbers are a bit inflated). They give you a 30 day return window if you don't like em too. Their website is pretty bad though so that's a strike against them. wyoak fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Sep 23, 2021 |

Is the trugolf mini accurate at all? I'm toying with the idea of something small like that (I don't have the ceilings for any sort of actual club). I realize it's not gonna be Trackman quality, but I don't want it to be so bad that it messes with my actual swing

They don't make NBA type money but that doesn't mean they're not very well paid, the 120th ranked player in last year's money list made over a million bucks before any sponsorships. Compare that to, say, tennis, where the 120th ranked male made like $120k - PGA also has a pretty solid pension as well as an entire tour just for their retirees and a whole exemption process for once-good players who fall off Someone like Bryson is gonna spend a ton more money on travel expenses than the 100th ranked guy since he travels in private jets and rents huge mansions for his entire team of trainers, psychologists, coaches, chefs, fancy gadgets, etc etc etc Phil's whole beef is that the top guys aren't getting enough of the pie (which from a pure value standpoint is probably true, people aren't tuning in to watch whoever Matt Wallace is, but he still made almost 20% of what Rahm did last year), not that the PGA isn't protecting the Korn Ferry guys enough. Also Phil is making numbers up wyoak fucked around with this message at 19:06 on Mar 1, 2022 |

The shot tracking on the Apple Watch didn't miss a single shot. It was incredible. also, played my first round of the year on Friday, shot 83, beating my previous best score by 12  Goal for the summer was to break 90, i guess i'll check that off

xsf421 posted:I’d take this further and say most rec golfers would be better served with their longest club being a 5/7w. The amount of people I play with who hit their driver 180 yards into the next fairway over is insane, and no one can actually hit a 3w. I finally started flirting with breaking 90 when I left the driver at home and started using my 3/4i off the tee.

Daric posted:The drivers are built so you can only really hit the ball one way (you can’t work it right to left or left to right easily like you could in the past) and the irons are built to be more “forgiving” which just means that even if you mishit the ball it’s still going to go just as far, but it will go further left or right than you wanted it to (generally this is left). Beginner GI irons have a bigger MOI and typically a bunch of weight down low so it's harder to generate sidespin and easier to generate backspin (which negates sidespin), and they're usually more offset so they'll have a draw bias, but it's still very possible to shape shots even with those. Newer 'player' cavity backs (like the T100) are just as able to shape shots as traditional blades. Also if you mishit a GI iron it's not gonna go further than if you hit it cleanly, that's just not how physics works, and "hazards are long and left whereas short and right is safe" is a pretty wild generalization.

Beaten with a better explanation Re driver faces, TM put out a video a while back with their club guy assembling Rory’s stealth plus. I thought he said that the diff between tour certified drivers and the off-the-shelf ones were the tolerances - 9 degrees of loft on a tour certified head means 9 degrees of loft, but off the shelf might be 8.5 or 9.5, but I might be wrong wyoak fucked around with this message at 20:43 on May 25, 2022 |

that makes sense, having your top 2 guys playing 9 holes apart but finishing at the same time would be really dumb I hated how frenetic the pacing of the broadcast was. I have no idea of the layout of the course or any of the holes or which holes are interesting or anything, it was always just "golf shot, did it land in the fairway/green or not? next shot"

My Arccos putter sensor never worked reliably when I was using it, and then I got a new putter with a pistol grip so I didn’t bother with it You have to set the flag location even when the sensor works, so it’s just as easy to add the putt locations (or I usually just estimate the distances on em and don’t worry about exact locations) I will say I like Arccos overall - beyond just the basic distances, the strokes gained stuff is cool and being able to review rounds from an overhead view is helpful in remembering my screwups and occasional good shots wyoak fucked around with this message at 02:03 on Jun 23, 2022 |

No gimmies is pretty common if you've got multiple groups playing in the same competition, it prevents collusion, even if the collusion is unintentional. I don't think you're outright trying to cheat but if you've got one group doing gimmies at 2 feet or in and another group doing them at 36 inches and another group is all drinking buddies and they're just eyeballing things it'd be a pretty uneven competition. and that scoring is standard stableford it sounds like? can't speak to the handicapping. but yeah biggest thing is if you're not enjoying how they do things, don't do things with them
