Not sure what you are really asking. Feel is subjective and contact is related to technique. How did they perform, how did you test? While you make like a particular feel, where you getting the desired check up and rollout on the short game shots? When I have measure ball speed with putting, with an on center strike there doesn’t seem to be a noticeable difference based on ball construction. You can change feel by changing ball or putter. If you want similar options, I’d look at t(e main MGS site and review ball lab for the various models to understand their compression ranking (feel influence) and the ball testing from last August where you can evaluate spin numbers to see what might perform similarly.

Prizes came from multiple sources. Wedges, puttout, and hats were provided by HQ. I kicked in the hybrid, bag tag, divot tool, and keychain. Not looking for any specific recognition but wanted to make sure to thank MGS for the prizes they contributed and to Rob, Jose and Ryan for what they donated.

I occasionally have to hit the connect button a couple of times but the app never shuts down.

What are you thinking as options to indicate club identification and where you are hitting from?

Sorry, they didn’t come from HQ I didn’t feel a need to correct the earlier post about where some of the prizes came from. I had some extra MGS swag so I provided some things which included the bag tag, divot tool, and keychain.

Sounds like you have had some great success and improved your game. My only caution would be that Yes, watching tv Showa and YouTube clips can be beneficial, it can also wreck you swing if you apply the wrong fixes. This is why some form of personal instruction is better and which online coaching you can easily find someone affordable. As for the golf fix, it has been going for about 12 years and it doesn’t seem to be on the cancellation list. good luck with your continued improvements.

not against that thought at all and I love granite shafts. I was at the mygolfspy outing this past weekend and a few of us did a Titleist fittings and I did a wedge fitting. Hen I got back to the house, @McGolfasked about my fitting since he does club fitting for a living and asked what shafts the fitter recommended. When I said the stock steel shafts he suggest I look at look at some thing lighter and more inline with my iron shafts; which are 85 gram graphite. His thought was that the 35 gram difference was to big and might be beneficial. I’d try and get the same graphites that were in my irons but they are the stock Honma Vizard shafts and I don’t think you can buy them direct. Jim say me play for 4ish hours so he had a pretty good idea about how I swing the club and suggested Accra wedge shafts. Just want to confirm the ones I listed where what we were talking about; I have a couple of new vokey wedges begging for a new shaft

I think a lot comes down to the user themselves. These devices have progressed from having to carry a phone in your front pocket and having to take a practice swing to activate the tag to either capturing the club when held in you hand and swung or having to tap the tag on the device. Most of this stuff is done via a simple tweak to your routine. I am trying to think of ways it could be easier to capture club data without identifying a club or triggering a device to know you are taking a shot and can’t think of anything. As I look back, I think there has been a huge progression for consumer grade devices that help track shot stats; my early use of phone based type capture was quickly dumped due to having to significant distraction. I am using the h4 now and find it incredibly easy to use and fits into my routine pretty seamlessly. If you do miss a shot, the data entry is a pretty simple and quick post round edit. I think the improvements would be on the software/analytics side where it gives you better more thorough analysis of your weaknesses. As I look through my shot scope data I can see scoring trends, strokes gained, club distances, and other information, but the difficulty is in the analysis and where do I really need to look see what I need to improve I read some of the shot scope support groups and other forums and people want these devices to do more….keep,score for them, give real time analytics, etc. things that would increase the footprint of the device and make you push even more buttons. No thanks, the h4 is pretty close to an ideal thing for me when it comes to capturing round days.

Now that I am back home, gotten a little dinner and a shower to cool off after a very hot/humid round of golf I wanted to post my thoughts on the weekend. Unfortunately, some things were just not family/PG rated so they will go unmentioned. Many of us are on the forum pretty regularly and we see the screennames, are friendly (for the most part), and have lots of things in common. But none of that compares to actually getting a group of people together to play some golf, hang out, and just spent some time BS'ing. If you have an opportunity to get out and meet some of our fellow forum members and play a round or two of golf. We've seen some other get togethers and I am sure they can confirm what I am saying. It also isn't about how good or bad you play so even if you aren't a great golfer, still go! Even though I just got home, I am ready to pack my bags and meet up with this great group of guys and tee it up again and play a round with some of the guys I didn't get a chance to play with.

As mentioned, @MDGolfHackerwas the hero for the cottage sticking it to 4 feet. The best part of the cottage battle was when we were walking to the green to try and find our balls (never found mine) the other cottage guys asked if we were all friends to which I responded (Jose, correct me if this isn't exactly right) I guess, we all just met each other yesterday. My score looks much better as a total than the individual holes scores. My back 9 was: double, birdie, bogey, birdie, quad, par, birdie, par, triple Was pretty hot and ran out of steam on 14. Got a little second wind and then totally fell apart again to close out the round.

This is an amazing looking swing; didn't know there were professionals in attendance

Thinking about graphite wedge shafts. @McGolfthinks it might be a good option based on my iron shaft weight and my swing. Is this the shaft you were mentioning or something different? https://accragolf.com/iwedge-shafts/

Depends on the test and what the manufacturer has specified.

It was pretty much in the middle. Played 177. Put a smooth 7 to about 8 feet left of the pin. Tap on putt for par

@sirchunksalot sorry to hear about you loss

I have 36 ham biscuits ready to go in the fridge. Cinnamon bread and lemon blueberry cake are ready to go as well

Yep, that is where I saw the chart. Was nice to see something that explained how it was supposed to work. He went on to say most fitters that use lie boards probably have never seen that chart.

I saw the below image and found it very interesting. Apparently there were instructions that came with lie boards. So if you are using a lie board make sure you understand what is an acceptable mark; not always centered

And we can eat the breakfast foods on Saturday as well

Unfortunately, I talked with with HQ guest and he dropped out if his event this weekend due to some back issues and won’t be able to make it.

Always interesting when I see old brands emerge again. In my opinion these are zebra in name only. When I think of zebra this is what comes to my mind and always will

I recently got the h4 and will periodically check the local courses. Updates may not be easily noticeable and only be minor tweaks to a hole to make the data more accurate. For example one of the courses I play has rough considered to be fairway; I could report it and have them fix the mapping; most people probably wouldn’t notice or care about the change since it hasn’t been reported.

Those are the tough questions that usually result in your going to have to try it and see kind of answer. I believe it will come down to how sensitive you are to weight. My shaft weighting is all over the place and I don’t follow the normal get heavier as you progress through the set and I don’t believe I have issues based on the club weight. If I want to a professionals fitter and we really dig into the numbers we might see something that matters. If your asking for common convention you should probably be 80gr range in the fairways with a 70gr driver.

The model of Mizuno clubs the OP owns

There is shot by shot tracking similar to what you get with arccos and some analysis of where you need to make improvements, number of yardage books. this site gives the overview of the differences. https://birdiefire.com/shop/decade/
