The only Rogue white I can find is the rogue white 130 which has the trimming instructions listed online (and shown in a post above mine). you didn't say if it was new or second hand, but make sure nothing has already been cut off the tip and then follow the trimming instructions for the shaft; it it is a rogue white 130 then the 7w is 1.0". if it is another model, find the instructions for that model.

same player.

wasn't intending to bash cobra, just wanted to see what they looked like. Might help figure out what happened to see if something stood out.

Gotta hate when fantrax shows that a player is playing but he isn't in the field......he still has a green checkmark by his name. Looks like a bad start to the season for me since I only have 3 players playing

can you share the pictures here?

You said you struggle with spin, do you have that issue with other heads as well. The RDX sees like a better shaft, but would be interesting to see ball speed and distances with a lower spinning setup. Do you know AoA? Our speeds are similar and I know I am losing lots of distance so I know you can get more out of a swing than what you are showing there.

My mind goes in so many different directions with this statement. [emoji2957]

Losing a family member is hard; can’t imagine losing both parents that close together. Underlying conditions or not, whether the death rate is .01% or 10% COVID is a terrible illness since it seems to impact everyone differently. I lost my mother to COVID a couple of weeks ago and she had few traditional symptoms. All I can suggest is that you let you friend know that you are there to support her.

It most likely has toe hang based on what I see. To see toe hang, balance the putter on your finger or lay the putter on a table where the head hangs off the edge and the putter can freely rotate. If the points straight up (heel and toe are at the same height)it is face balanced. If the toe end of the putter is higher than the heel it is toe up, and if the toe is below the heel then it has toe hang. People will often classify the amount of toe hang by degrees down from parallel or a clock number. So if the toe points to t ground it is 90* or 6 o’clock. If it is halfway between parallel and the ground it is 45* or about 4:30. Toe hang is largely influenced by where the shaft would intersect the head if it kept going past the hosel. More toward the center the more face balanced it would be. All the way at the heel would product a full toe hang. Toe hang can also be influenced by the putters CoG; meaning I can move weight toward the heel to decrease the toe hang

Just some other comment AoA is probably more of a swing thing than a shaft thing. While shaft deflection can impact AoA. I’d probably start with swing. Personally I am losing distance with a slight downward AoA but can fix it if I tweak my swing; just a hard thing for me to do consistently. Also the general advice is add weight to the head if you shorten a shaft. That is a generality and some people may swing better with a lower SW. a shaft switch may also change the swing weight.

Okay, you don’t like the irons but bought them anyway. Nothing wrong with not liking purchased clubs but that doesn’t make them overrated. Perhaps just a bad fit for your swing. Can’t answer why they sold for the price they did on eBay. Could have been that it is off-season, the clubs were in poor condition, smaller market for the light graphite shafts, or just because that is what they sell for used.

Doesn’t really change anything in my mind unless there is a large percentage of balls with offcenter cores. All manufactures have tolerances and all manufactures release products with defects. you will seldom find any product that approaches 100% defect free unless lives are involve - medical, aircraft, military, food, etc. I would have to go back and read ball lab for titleist but I believe Tony did find issues with Titleist balls. What price would you be willing to pay for 100% defect free?

Yes it happened a couple of weeks ago. I think three forum members won something. Photos and discussion are in the thread on the donor raffle.

People put their names in this thread to be tagged in Instagram giveaways. Most are golf related but who doesn’t love a good giveaway. I am ok to be tagged for any giveaway

Discussions on golf balls are In the balls forum under equipment. You can also look on the main MGS page and read the Ball Lab reports regarding quality and compression information. General advice is callaway balls are of lower quality. Softer balls generally have slower ball speed. Find the ball that gives you the best performance from tee to green; starting with green side performance....don’t pick based on compression. Finally, unless you lose lots of balls play a tour level golf ball.

@Buffly Lots of questions/statements and here are my thoughts based on what I have learned over the years. The more I think about the thought of a forward press, it makes me wonder what it actually accomplishes? Irregardless of who uses a forward press, what does a forward press require of the equipment? What does a forward press do that a "standard" (used very loosely) stroke doesn't? The forward press is more of a trigger than anything to do with his stroke. He could just as easily put the putter in that position and make the putting stroke. Generally, we are told that every swing and putter stroke should have some kind of trigger than initiates the movements and that starting from a non moving position isn't a good thing. A forward press requires the exact same things that a non forward press requires regarding equipment. More on that in the next answer. I would guess that a forward press delofts the putter which will require the putter loft to be higher in order to deliver 1.5°-3° at impact. So, a forward leaner, including the arm lock guys, will need closer to 6° of loft on the putter to even attempt either stroke. I could be totally wrong? As with any putter you need to find the right loft based on how you deliver the putter at impact. Your 1.5*-3* isn't applicable to everyone; it will depend on green conditions, shaft lean (forward, level, or back) at impact, and if you hit the ball on the downstroke, bottom, or upstroke. I would agree that typically forward leaners and arm lock guys need more loft because they would tend to stroke the ball with the shaft leaning forward. Assuming the extra loft exists to allow proper dynamic loft at impact, what does delofting accomplish? My guess is that it quiets the wrists for more of a dragging stroke. The benefit could be keeping the face free from excessive rotation through the impact zone. There is no real benefit or drawback, it is just what they do and are comfortable with. Putting stroke types seem to vary as much as leave shapes on a tree, so saying one is best is futile. However, realizing one shape works best for you is a gold mine. The 50%/50% back and through, 25 back/75 through, 75 back/25 through, and the Snedeker/Nicklaus Pop stroke are some variations without taking shaft lean, ball position, or grip into consideration. I like how Jack Nicklaus described his stroke and stance as the way he best saw the line due to his eye dominance issue. This is very true but I would change your word shape to stroke in the second sentence. As a player you make choices about your putting stroke. You choose how you setup to the ball, how you power the stroke, and how you grip the stroke. The thing is that some of those choices may be in conflict with one another and be detrimental to your stroke and ability to make putts. Ultimately, as a player your goal is to pick a speed and corresponding line to maximize your chances of making the putt. lastly, when I get in the putting doldrums I have found addressing my setup and starting the ball on my intended line has helped more than changing my stroke. For me, eyes over the hosel works the best with the ball near my left eye or cheek. I use chalk lines, string, laser line, or alignment sticks for seeing the line and starting on line. And, to keep my wrists from rotating to much, I raise the handle slightly so the shaft points more at the middle of my torso than my belly. (What works for me might not work for others) No reason to change the stroke after you have made your decisions on how you want to putt; just continue to work on those choices to help make them repeatable.

They are free agents you should be able to pick them up with no need to submit FAAB dollars. If your roster has 8 players you have to drop someone but there shouldn’t be a reason you can’t add them to your roster immediately

Who is the player? You can send pm if you don’t want anyone to know and I will look and see what I see.

If a player is a “free agent” there is no bidding. If they are on “waivers” you have to bid $0-$100. For example, I didn’t get the players I wanted during the waiver run last night. This morning I picked up my last two players since they were free agents. If a player was dropped last night and is the only one remaining of the 5 instances you would have to bid (or bid zero and hope no one bids higher)

You should be able to pick up anyone that is a free agent since waivers ran last night. The only ones that aren’t free agents are the players that have been dropped. Waivers for this players run tonight I think.

I would have never guessed that you were open for trades.

I didn’t spend a dime but didn’t get the players I wanted. Oh well picked up some others. I do have a question, is there a setting that tells me If my waiver pickups failed? Looked through the notifications and didn’t see one. Bud did turn off the annoying player has been added to the pool notification. [emoji16]

Is it just a paint issue or is the target/material itself failing?

Generally loft specs for putters in box sets aren’t published. If I were to guess I would say 4*. But with tolerances it could be 3 or 5. Knowing a spec value isn’t really important; you need to put it on a loft/lie machine and see what it actually is.
