  1. I don’t know what “plays like” means. But you answered my question….even though the length and loft are the same between the sets they perform differently.
  2. You can get a magnetic strap for your ramgefinder. I just leave mine in a pocket on my bag and pull it out when needed.
  3. Day 3: 100 foot drill and torso movement drill: setup 4 balls around a hole with a ball at 5, 10, 15, and 20 feet with a variety of slopes. You will do this at 5 holes for a total of 20 putts. Goal is to make 100ft (or whatever you baseline) first putts. So if you make the 5 and 15 at the first hole your total is 20, torso movement: this drill requires a little setup. Using a box to elevate the first alignment rod set it up at the lie angle of your putter and tape the top to the wall. With the second alignment rod use elastic bands on your arms to secure it to your chest. Back into the vertical alignment rod and make strokes to ensure the rod goin across your chest stays on the vertical rod through the entire stroke and doesn’t press harder into the rod or come off the rod. Your are trying to evaluate if you have the correct posture and matching torso movements. Per the description it is importantly to consider your posture as it will impact your ability to match the shaft plane. If the plane feels steep forward bend more and see if that helps make it feel more natural. Vise versa if it feels too flat
  4. Found the coach I was referring to. Here is a golf article about his approach: https://golf.com/news/skillest-coach-andreas-kali/ If you watch the swings on his instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/andreaskaligolf/?hl=en While the swings are slightly different you can see they are all based on the same model and look very similar.
  5. I feel like I get a fair price when I sell or trade them in. Means I have to come up with less cash for something different.
  6. One of the most frequently asked questions in golf: Why can't I take may range swing to the course.
  7. Would love to see the performance data that shows they are the same.
  8. Why does it have to be custom, stock should work just fine. if he has clubs, why does he need a driving iron? Why does he even need to swing the driving iron? You also said: "If the shot results were not good for him we probably would return it for a different brand-model driving iron or maybe return it and order the same Mizuno head with a custom shaft." No reason to do that a driving iron is a driving iron' wouldn't they perform the same? You asked what were "limitations" I simply pointed out the limitations at TGW. You said that you could get the clubs "without risk of financial loss." Return shipping is a financial loss. Store credit is a financial loss since I don't get my money back.
  9. Just another putter I will switch to when I get tired of the current putter. I go through phases where I have a bunch of putters and then sell them off and will buy more. They are all different: mallets, blades, different shafts, different weight, different grips, etc.
  10. Why would anyone need to return clubs or do anything custom? Everything should work the same; isn't that part of your discussion of fittings are a SCAM? Read the TGW guarantee, there are limitations: https://www.tgw.com/playability I have to pay for shipping both ways, limited on number of clubs that can be returned per year, there is a price minimum, and I get a store credit and not my money refunded.
  11. Why does there have to be a label? I call the 90s shooting player a golfer just like a 60s shooting player.
  12. i want to play better golf. Based on you advice I don’t need new clubs since based on this thread any clubs will work. But most of the shafts are stock which you think are junk. So how do I find the right shaft? I’ve read the books you have suggested for instruction and the pictures dont provide me any help. I can’t afford to work with a former PGA tour player. you have indicate grip, posture, and alignment are key yet PGA tour pros have different grips and posture. You’ve stated this is the best way to align yourself: When standing behind the ball people are able to see the target-line correctly. When standing to the side of the golf ball, most people are not able to see the target line correctly. A good sense solution is to align the club face while standing behind the ball, and leave it in place while moving to the side of the ball and adopting your address posture-stance. I’ve never seen a PGA tour pro do this. What are your qualifications and the source of the pieces of information you are presenting? It always nice to be able to read those references to help educate myself.
  13. I am not an instructor/coach so I can’t answer that question.
  14. Learned from todays drill that I have a tendency to slightly open the hips on the through stroke. After doing yesterdays and todays drill you will definitely fell a solid lower body.
  15. Follow up QA session this morning after last nights webinar to get to the questions that weren’t answered. some high level things that stood out to me. the putter won’t make you a better player work on skills speed control requires consistent rhythm there is no single ideal stroke type just putting at home rolling putts across the room on a mat probably isn’t helpful. Work on rhythm, setup gates, etc. do things to get feedback. Torque, forgiveness, lines, etc are fine tuning elements and won’t fix your putting Systems for reading putts need to be explored and experimented with. length, aiming, loft, lie angle is the order of preference for fitting a putter. lead hand low can help with body alignment issues. as putts get longer you will need to leverage arms and hands more in the stroke. Shorter putts are more torso. anyone can putt at the level of a tour player. Ou need to understand concepts and work on key skills. another webinar to answer questions will be at 7pm uk time.
  16. Sorry it is orbit not Orion. Don’t know anything about it, just ran across it when I was doing some research https://optishotgolf.com/pages/compare-bundles
  17. I agree with you. I have seen the Instagram page for a European instructor that teaches everyone the same swing. They are typically junior players and every players swing looks identical.
  18. I did for a little, He was in an airport and it was very noisy. Supposed to be posting the video for replay. You can join the one tonight….should be one very day.
  19. My thoughts on your responses 1. I would say people that describe jumper from a fairway shot are actually making center contact and it isn’t a flier. I’d recommend learning about dispersion patterns to understand this concept better, Even swing robots don’t hit the same distance every time. studies show that scratch golfers have a 10-15 yard dispersion depth. https://hackmotion.com/shot-dispersion-in-golf/ 2. you can spray foot power on the face of your club to see contact location. GI irons tend to mask impact location so I would verify. 3. If you hit the ball straight; like you indicate, why work the ball, your stock shape is straight. Again, I’d learn about dispersion patterns; the driver left/right dispersion width for a PGA pro is about 70 yards. Working the ball is based on physics (face and path relationship) and not club type. I am on of the MGS most wanted testers and I can hit a stock ball shape with GI type clubs and I don’t see fliers during testing. Many players still slice and hook GI irons. If you are a low spin player maybe more of a players club will help since they tend to generate more backspin to offset sidespin. again, I’m all for you getting new clubs if you want. They may even be better for your game, but my concern is that you have misunderstanding about how clubs actually perform.
  20. @Golfspy_CG2, I think he is talking about you here. Any thoughts?
  21. Day 2: pelvis stability lay an alignment stick on the ground parallel to the target line. Insert an alignment stick through your front belt loops. Back up so that the alignment rod presses against a wall and make some strokes Ensure you are setup parallel to the rod on the floor and during the stroke make sure the rod doesn’t move on the wall. On backstroke it shouldn’t press more against the wall, it shouldn’t move left or right which indicates and sway, or come away on the through stroke.
  22. That is a sad statement coming from the forum director…..you should know all your specs inside and out
  23. It could also be that they played ill fitting hand me down clubs and had to choke down on the grip to be able to swing and it just became a comfort thing. I don’t subscribe either, just found it by doing a google search to validate my thought and to find a concrete reference to answer to your question
  24. There are varying opinions about this. Some will say the putter doesn’t matter and putting is primarily about skills: aim, stroke, touch, and read. Others will add that the putter itself influences/imoacts aim, stroke, and touch. Edel putters are all about how shape and lines influence aim. LAB is about how torque influences stroke. Odyssey has AI faces that influence touch. Putters are designed differently because the perform differently. Overall, I think you would be fine to work on skills with a different putter but some people wouldn’t like that simply because it is a different look or feel.
  25. For me, putter experimenting will never end.
