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.

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.

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.

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.

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]

Congrats [mention=27071]undershooter[/mention]. I am terrible at these contests but it gives me another reason to watch.

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

We weren't referring to Hideki; we were talking about Zalatoris. Zalatoris has 9 PGA starts and 1 Korn Ferry win (2020)

He made it into the masters by being in the top 50 in the world rankings.

Maybe one day he will get his PGA tour card. Right now he can't even compete in the Fed Ex Playoffs. Gotta get a win or two to be considered a "star" I was really pulling for him to get his first win and win his first masters.

I'd like to see Zalatoris get the win. Would be nice to see a first time winner also win his first masters. LPGA is very big on foreign players learning english. They have tutors that teach them and I know at one time it was a requirement.

Matsuyama is on fire now. Shaping up to be an exciting sunday.

GPS. I don't really care about distance to pin; I want to know distances to parts of the green.

Yep, and this gets reported as you can't have green reading books at the Masters; which is not accurate. Augusta provides a book with major slopes identified. Players can add notes to the book and use it in subsequent years. The green reading books that most people are referring too are the detailed topographical maps that are available for other courses that are made by outside companies. something like this: https://puttviewbooks.com/

Definitely, he has talent and great composure. I think he has the potential to be one of the greats and once he gets his first win, I think others will come quickly

Enjoyed your writeup on the armlock fitting. I would agree that most people just walk into the store, pick up the putter and struggle to use an armlock. Eager to hear how it works out for you.

That is true. Think about drivers and GI type clubs. Distance somes from less spin. The more spin it has the more it wants to climb which as you are seeing may lead to less distance. This is is a typical problem people see when they switch from set wedges to specialty wedges and why you just can't gap based on the degrees of loft; you actually have to hit the club to see how far it goes.

WIth the way he has been playing, hard to believe he doesn't have status on the PGA tour.

SM8 has higher launch,more spin, and lower ball speed which equals less distance. Basically just how the club works.

Heavy head or heavy total weight? And what do you consider heavy? Best option outside of a heavy putter would be to find a belly or long putter and cut it down. Maybe odyssey tank putter?

Per the marketing they have changed the COG. What was the difference in spin, launch angle, and loft at impact ?

Above post sums it up pretty well. Additionally the launch monitor may have been tweaked via the settings.

I thing the obvious answer is the Tour B XS. Per the marketing literature, like the B X but more greenside spin.

I have a couple MGS bag tags, but you probably don’t want to see those [emoji16]
