Neither one is better or worse than the other.
for me driver is primarily a fade and irons have a bit of draw. I play it becuase that is the ball flight that comes from my stock shot. I don’t try to curve the ball in different directions because going back to the first sentence there is no advantage to either.

one of the great things about the masters app is if you have a smart tv you can send the stream to your tv and watch it on your television!
Additionally most have a web browser and you can simply go to the website and play the videos that way. I did that using my fire stick on Monday and Tuesday to watch the on the range converage.

So, amuse me, what's the point in having a Lie Angle Balanced putter if you then manipulate the lie? Why pay an upcharge for custom fitting to the correct lie angle for you, if you then manipulate the lie?
The putters are balanced to a specific lie angle. Most are done with the putter flat. The putters can also be balanced with the toe or heel in the air; that is the purpose of all the weights in the head.. The players are not manipulating the lie, they could and probably are maintaining the same lie throughout the stroke. Pretty sure I have read that LAB has even said a degree or so off isn’t that big of a deal.
the other aspect is that players generally don’t understand equipment and don’t necessarily play the best equipment for their game. They almost always get their equipment for free so there is no upcharge.
f you want my personal opinion, I don’t think L.A.B. putters are all that and the human based skills are significantly more important and can easily overcome the little bit of torque that the LAB putter is eliminating.

I understand the words and the intent of bounce and grind, but haven’t tried them enough to see how they actually work. I also understand that how you deliver the club can completely change those variables. Likening it to putters, book knowledge will say you need face balanced for SBSTish stroke and toe hang for arcs, but in practical application this is not always true. My wedge game is poor and as a result I don’t manipulate my wedge much so I don’t see a lot of difference between the different grinds and bounces.
the big thing that s that I don’t have a place to try the different configurations so all I have is book knowledge on the topic and little practical experience.

I didn't see a lot of Phil on TV yesterday but I did see the down the line shot of him putting on 18. His DF3 was really toe up. Is that a bad fit or a bad user??
How about it’s fine. There are players that play toe up and there are players that play heel up and there are players that play flat. Will Zalatoris is heel up with his MEZZ max. While flat would be “ideal”, I’d say it is more important to maintain that lie angle throughout the stroke. This could be a visual preference and how he prefers to see the top line

I just can’t be consistent. I have rounds where it’s great, and rounds where it’s average.
What does I can’t be consistent mean? As a plus 2 you obviously hit the ball extremely well, probably better than 99+% of the people on the forum. What is your driver performance, what do you expect, and how to you track? Do you have launch monitor numbers to show swing and club dynamics. What did the pro level instructors say about your swing?

but it does come back and the most important part of the trip to the camaraderie
this will be my third (fourth if you count the first MD tirp) )MGS forum outing so I 1000% agree that the trip is about camaraderie. The frustration is really all about @GolfSpy_APH, I can’t let him beat me.

No. It's about 30 yards. ——- I don't like having a huge gap in my bag
So you have a larger gap between your most loft wedge and putter and as you said don’t like having a huge gap in my bag. But you deal with and make it work because you have learned how to hit those distances. IMO, If The gap at the top end is a distance you run into regularly then maybe find a club otherwise just recognize you need to make an adjustment when you happen to be in that distance gap.

Yes, companies capitalize on the buzz behind the masters, all the other majors, the Ryder cup, etc. to release limited edition products that as you pointed out cost more than the non limited edition versions. Most people view them as collectors items or something that they want to have to show off….the circle T on a Cameron putter is another example. The general goal of most companies is to make money; if you don’t like the price they are charging the simple answer is don’t buy it.

Is it larger than the gap between the distance you hit the highest lofted club in your bag and a 3 foot chip?

so I can try everything currently on the market.
To answer your question about when to get a fitting I will ask you a question. How do you know the clubs you bought were the right clubs for your swing? Going into a store and just trying clubs is kind of a fitting; may not be the best, but you are trying to figure out what works. A demo day is a type of fitting. Getting someone at the golf store to help you try clubs is a fitting. Answering the online questionnaire on an OEM website is a fitting. My answer to your question is that you should always do some kind of fitting and not just buy off the rack.
Regarding what I quoted; a good fitting will not have you try everything. Clubs are designed different and some simply aren’t right for you. For example I am a low spin player so clubs that are produce lower spin are clubs I probably shouldn’t try. If make contact all over the face, may want to look at someone more on the game improvement side and not muscle back irons. Also, budget is typically one of the discussions held prior to starting the fitting process so you won’t try clubs or shafts that are above your price range.

I wanted to try a shorter shaft, and was told I needed to add some weight to the clubhead. Do any of you use it in other clubs?
This is a general recommendation. I shortened my driver and did not add any weight to the head. This recommendation for additional weight is to get the swing weight back to where it was prior to shortening the shaft. I am not that sensitive to swing weight and my driver works fine.
i use lead tape on putters or I have swapped weights if the putter has removable weights.

Are there any direct to consumer/cheaper golf balls that are made in the US? Or are they all made overseas in Thailand/Korea/China?
The ball plants in the USA are owned by major OEMs so I would doubt any DTC balls are made in the US.

You’ll get there…it’s like riding a bike (never forget)!
I hope I’ll get there. Felt like I was in a good place after the first few times hitting balls, but yesterday swinging the club felt completely foreign and I had no clue what to do to attempt to fix.

Hello all, I recently purchased a “new club” barely used. No scratches dents etc. it’s a 10.5 with Hazardous shaft. I switched the club to “standard” but am not sure what weights to use. They came with the weights already put on , a 10, and a 3. Seems like I keep hitting a sharp fade with this setup. I’m use to a straight 10.5 no adjustment and was hitting about 275 straight or close to 15 yards left or right. Any suggestions?
you didn't say how the weights were placed, but if you want to possibly reduce the fade put the 10 in the heel and the 3 in the toe.

49 days is scary.......I need to learn how to swing a golf club again. Tried to hit 5 irons today and it was not good
I guess it is a good thing I don't carry a 5 iron in my bag.

Most wanted game improvement irons started yesterday and I am taking part. Using it as an opportunity to be a little more practice centric than I have in the past. It is known that I am just getting back after surgery so I am going a little slower and focusing more on making good swings.
yesterday was pitching wedges and I only missed the target green twice. Once was a long slight pull and the other was a fat shot that was obviously short. Ball striking and face control was pretty solid and I’d even say better than pre surgery.

The Masters - 2024

The masters committee has deemed it important for Tiger to make the cut so players have been instructed to play poorly to ensure that happens.
