  1. Zalatoris is probably the person he works closely with. He has indicated that many players have taken his seminars but like most OEMs he may not be able to mention their names. But some are: Austin Ernst on the LPGA, I am assuming Aaron Wise, he mentions Maverik McNeely in one of the DECADE videos, Morikawa, I know there are a few more in the DECADE videos but can't find them. What I am also seeing is changes in how the announcers are discussing golf; specifically Brandel Chamblee, and how the broadcasts are showing data/information. He also discusses how PGA players are changing how they have played holes from previous years. Is it strokes gained or DECADE; could probably make an argument for each. The program as a whole is about how to think about golf and expectation management. None of the information is rocket science, but hearing someone go through the information in one package is what is "revolutionary". As for the expense, the foundations information is roughly the cost of a couple of lessons or rounds. I'll be on as well.
  2. sounds like fun; going to have to start using the grint again. If 9 hole rounds are valid, I will have to enter my terrible round from tonight.
  3. I did it as a birthday thing. Even did a free month that Scott offered. Kind of ties into the analytical golf thread that started today. Diving deep into decade a lot of it makes perfect sense but you wouldn’t generally think to do what is explained. Lots of it is mental approach to golf, but the targeting strategy and really understand how good golfers approach the game is worth the cost.
  4. I can hit the ball fairly consistently on occasion. Easy to do when using a launch monitor. Only really counts when on the course as you only get one shot. This is where the frustration comes from. I know I can hit the ball, how do stay away from sim many bad shots. I do get into sequences of hitting the ball poorly even when practicing. Had quite a few to shots that were 20 yards shorter than the numbers in the images. I know that this is a hard game and I am trying to look at the longer term patterns but I am still getting caught up in the round that I last played.
  5. The definition of anchored used by the ruling body’s is about anchoring the club to a pivot point like the belly or chest. The pivot point for armlock is the shoulder. Even using a conventional Putters the hands don’t have to control the stroke; Many players control the putter with their shoulders.
  6. Zforged are great clubs. When I am at MGS they have some irons in the warmup bag and I pull them out occasionally. I can hit them well but not sure I would do well playing 18. You speak the truth on how just being off a little bit really impacts the ball And nice round; hoping to get my game to that level one day.
  7. I think you have to be analytical to a fairly significant level. Some of the analysis is just done subconsciously or not thought about as being analytical. When you practice or warm up you are analyzing how well you are hitting the ball and trying to decide if you need to make a change. You pushed your last couple of shots what do you do? Your hitting it off the toe, or fat, or thin, do you do anything? Your typical draw is now a fade or a big hook? Are you going to play that ok the course. You are standing on the first tee, where are you aiming? The ball is above your feet do you make adjustments? Are you pin hunting with every shot or do You adjust based on how far out you are? Do you adjust for wind? Do you adjust because you are in the deep rough? Do you adjust because you have to carry water or a trap? You can go even deeper; like Bryson, and based on actual pin location and how far you are from a marker to calculate better distance numbers but most just wing it a bit or laser a pin. Some will say I am a feel player and don’t have these thoughts Feel is simply relying on you mind to do analysis without consciously thinking about it and relying on experience. We are all analytical with pretty much everything we do; the question is probably how detailed in you analytics do you really go?
  8. Greatest souvenir cups that come with your drink. Have a few from when I went to the practice round in 2010. If you are there you can get a ton of them since many people just throw them away. Saw people picking them out of the trash cans.
  9. Been working on the full swing. Still hitting it off the toe a little too frequently. Numbers below are 7 iron.
  10. Yep. Easy equipment fix for the 165 would be to use 5 instead of 6
  11. Putter: Might be time for a new flatstick. Thought about an armlock, but that though passed by quickly. Decide DLD to look for something a little more unique than a normal off the shelf putter. Was putting with one of the putters at MGS headquarters and it has made me want a 3/4 or mini putter. Have always like a shorter length putter but have never owned a mini.
  12. I am reaching the same kind of frustration point as you are. Been working hard on my short game which has significantly improved but my scoring really hasn’t. Same basic scoring range as you; occasional 70s but most everything in the 80-85 range. Just at a loss as I can play some really solid golf during a round and can them play some really awful golf. My coach has been busy but I am going to try and get some ideas from him. I know I can be playing 70s golf Sorry no solutions but understand the feelings.
  13. Your location says you are in Va Beach. If you want to drive to the peninsula the addicted to golf store has a cute RXi listed on their used club list. Don’t know it it has all the weights but the cure website says it can get up to 410gr. To bad they sold the va beach store or they could transfer it over.
  14. Comments Read like, but that happens in lots of comment sections. I think it would be very difficult to prove they were shills. This is how the “we tried it” portion of the site works. They try a product for a short period of Time and write an article. I tried on the shirt and have to say it did what it said it would do. I don’t think there was any intent to misrepresent with the article based on my conversations with Harry. He really seemed genuinely impressed which is why he wanted me to try it on. They get lots of products sent to them to review. Not everything is reviewed and not everything is glowing. There no ad revenue is from major golf companies. They do accept ads from smaller companies to help promote them. You can read that on the main site. Here is the link: https://mygolfspy.com/advertise/ Not trying to change your opinion, just trying to fill in a little more of my interpretation of the details.
  15. Yep, spam. MGS has only one account and won’t have you click links when you win. This approach is rampant on social media....tell you that you won and try to get you to enter personal details.
  16. Dumb question of the day - obviously batteries are Key to this. I would have a tendency to forget to charge the unit or let’s say you decide to play 36 and the batteries die. Can the wheels be disengaged so it can be manually pushed?
  17. This is a difficult question to answer as there are so many variables. Why are you losing distance? Could be a number of things but unless you know swing details it really is hard to answer. Driver - where to you hit it on the face, what is launch angle, what is AoA, what is spin? All of Those influence distance. Not saying to chase numbers but as you tweak the variable the numbers move up and down. 6 iron - same type of questions. Also, since you la I confidence are you swinging with a committed swing or are you trying to control the ball with a less than full out swing? I see this when I am doing most wanted sessions. I want to make a good swing but get less than ideal results if I don’t swing like I can. Seems to mess up the timing and sequencing. No real insightful answer but there are lots If unknowns with what you are asking.
  18. I found a laser on the tee box last year and tried it on a few holes. Was able to shoot the pin (got pin lock) and the distance was wrong. Tried it on several holes but same results. May have been broken but it was definitely off. Lasers do have benefits. And I pull mine occasionally but GPS units are generally pretty Close unless there is a course Mapping issue. There is a local course that the front middle and back readings are all the same.
  19. Sorry. Most of us probably don’t care that much...I know I Don’t. But it is important to know for those that play competitive golf.
  20. Not a great day on the course. Driver was solid, irons weren’t bad, and even shot game worked. Putting was off and I just couldn’t make much. Worst part of the game was my 5 hybrid; hit it three times and I had three shots go way right. Kind of lost with my game. Skills are getting better but can’t get past the blowup holes to actually score well.
  21. I don’t have one but have seen the players books during the LPGA tournament when I volunteer. I know that Harry at MGS has used one and says it is amazing. When we talk about his game he indicates putting is his weakness. I personally wouldn’t use on during a casual round. While I want to shoot a low score I am mostly there for the fun and view yardage books as significant overkill. I got matched up with someone that used one during a casual round and thought it was odd. The only advantage would be if I could get more detail info on pin location. Front middle and back is great but sometimes knowing how close the pin is to the edges and what lies around the green would be useful on courses I don’t play all the time. Plus they are expensive and I am cheap [emoji23]
  22. Congrats [mention=27071]undershooter[/mention]. I am terrible at these contests but it gives me another reason to watch.
  23. Per the masters site he only qualified by being in Top 50. US Open is top 4. The commentators said he played as a guest of a member. https://www.masters.com/en_US/players/invitees_2021.html
  24. We weren't referring to Hideki; we were talking about Zalatoris. Zalatoris has 9 PGA starts and 1 Korn Ferry win (2020)
  25. He made it into the masters by being in the top 50 in the world rankings.
