Who has one of the Instant Pot Pressure Cookers? My buddy does wings and ribs in his and they are crazy good. I was watching youtube on them last night and I think I will get me one. Im trying to drop some pounds so I am not sure if it is the best idea, but my options seem to be almost unlimited with what I can do with one.
Fred Meyers has one on sale for $80.
My wife has one. She loves it! Uses it every week! Crazy good food comes out of that machine.

Thanks everyone for the positive responses. That makes me feel a lot better about bringing the dog on the course with me in the future! Here's a dog pic as a thank you to everyone

There are a set of protocols that are online that are mini lessons you do with the device.
I suggest you watch the free protocols on their website to show you that it isn't what you are describing. In fact, it's the exact opposite.
I could not agree more with @jlukes
I struggled for years with trying to get rid of my inside takeaway. Planemate has solved that problem.

Just played golf yesterday. I carried my clubs. Normally I will use one of the push carts from the pro shop if we are walking. That option is now gone. I have never been a big fan of carrying clubs. I always felt....even when I was a lot younger....that it took away from my quality of play. So, I made the plunge after reading multiple reviews and the MGS buying guide. I needed something with the smallest foot print possible. All you guys seem to love the Clic Gear, but I went with the Big Max Blade IP due to how incredibly small it folds. After I got over the sticker shock, I pulled the trigger. I will put up a review here after I get a chance to use it during the quarantine.

I’m still rocking it. It got benched for an old Odyssey White Hot #1 for a few rounds last year, but after reviewing my putting in each round, the armlock was still way better. I really believe my struggles with the putter come from green reading inadequacies. When I make the proper read on putts, I am pretty confident I’ll make a good stroke and scare the hole.
So, yes I’m still rocking it, no, my putting still isn’t where it should be, but it’s mainly due to green reading, not my actual stroke.
Have you tried Aimpoint Express? Helped me immensely with green reading. I know some people can just read a green by looking at it. I am not one of those people.

Technique definitely matters. A part of the process is learning the little things that allow you to swing faster. I found something during yesterday’s workout that added a couple of mphs for me.

I don’t know if this has been discussed here on this forum or not. If it has, I don’t remember it. I have found my personal speeds on all sticks have increased 2-3 mph Over the past three sessions by making sure my trail hand is relaxed instead of being tight. Almost relaxed enough that my trail hand could come loose in the follow through (obviously it doesn’t). Thought I would share and I believe I will do the same on my real swings as well.

Decided to use all of the current down time to get get back on the SuperSpeed train... at least until I got too close to the monitor and destroyed it. Was swinging the blue club around 120MPH right before it happened so... it's toast lol. Guess I'll be looking to purchase another one at some point, just not sure how soon I want to do that...
Sorry to hear that. Any chance you have a pic for the Swing Speed Radar obits on mygolfspy?

Good topic.
I love the different responses. We are all wired so differently.
I can’t play with swing thoughts. My best rounds come when I stop thinking and just let it flow. I have a pre shot routine that I follow like Rainman. I go through my routine and accept the result. As they say....the only thing I can control is my reaction and the next shot.- Micah T, fixyurdivot and Bob M

Like many courses, I assume, mine is leaving the cups 1/2 out. This is great for scoring and had a “birdie” today on a bladed chip that didn’t even finish on the green, but hit the cup so it didn’t matter where it stopped.
But on the 17th hole I hit one directly over the flag and it sucked back to 2” from the side of the cup. I was actually glad it didn’t touch the cup because the angle it was rolling would not have gone in under normal circumstances.
So would this have been a hole-in-one or a hole-in-one*?
That is interesting. I LOVE the scoring opportunities that creates. The course I play on put a cut piece of a pool noodle so that the ball only has about an inch to fall into the cup so you can grab your ball without actually touching anything. I like the cup out better. I wonder if there would be any problems if the wind kicked up....ie causing damage to the green as the cup rocks?
Thanks for sharing!

Just wanted to drop this here since the DIY projects are popular topics:
https://www.diamondtour.com/accelerator-swing-speed-training-system.html
At $109.99, I probably would have gone this route because the cost of my DIY sticks was close to $80 + my time.
They also sell them unassembled for $89.99.
Good find!

I ended up ordering the SuperSpeed-C club a few days ago. With being stuck indoors for work and all Wisconsin schools closed for the next three weeks the timing ended up working out perfectly (unless I hit one of my kids swinging; then not so much).
I completed my first Counterweight training session earlier this morning. Overall the speeds with the C club are a little higher than what I was seeing with the Green club. My max speed with it in the first training session was 145 versus an all time max of 144 with the green club.
And yes, I bought a new SwingSpeed radar after breaking my old one and not having much luck with the PRGR radar. Found a used one for under $100 on eBay.
I too could not resist the C club given my success with the Superspeed protocol. I am about 8 mph faster than my green stick with the C club. No idea what this translates to in the real world, but I thought I would give you my results.

I got a SkyTrak for Christmas and when I’m home I play about 72 holes a day. I switch balls a bunch and haven’t had any issues with any balls but the Duo Softs. I got these as a secret Santa gift and have cracked all but 3 of them. I would throw them away but decided to keep them and they are only lasting about a day which can be maybe 150-200 hits.
The Wilson Duo Pro lasts forever and so do Srixon and Titleist balls. Anyone else seeing this?

Wedgie,
I went through a period where I liked hitting those soft balls...Wilson Duo....Callaway Supersoft. They felt like the old balata balls to me
Anyways, they all would crack after I used them for a couple of rounds....or hitting them a couple hundred times into my indoor net. Stopped using them because of the cracking.

I took the plunge on the SuperSpeed C club.
Kudos to SuperSpeed for insanely fast shipping and delivery. Placed my order around noon yesterday and it arrived just about 1 p.m. today. It ships from Chicago so it did not need to travel too far to reach me, but still impressive nonetheless!
First impression is that $100 is a little steep for what the club is, especially since the original sticks are $200 for three clubs. It's what you would expect - a light weight on the end with a reasonably heavy counterweight grip. Compared to my homemade sticks, static weight feels slightly heavier than my green club, but head weight feels less. Some time I'll get around to measuring each.
I don't mind supporting SuperSpeed since they make they're protocols easy to access for people like myself who went the DIY route.
I did the first protocol tonight and you definitely can create more club head speed with the counterweight. Compared to my last few regular workouts, the counterweighted club clocked in at 5-10 MPH faster than the green club for normal, right-handed swings.
I am going to reach out to the SuperSpeed team on Twitter to see how the numbers should compare.
Curious to see your progress before I pull the trigger on this one. Thanks for sharing.

So, is there anyone out there that has any extended experience with a Directed Force/L.A.B. Golf Putter? I am very interested in hearing what people that have owned one of these for more than a few weeks have to say.
A little back story.. I was introduced to the original Directed Force putter about 5 years ago. It didn't make a very good initial impression on me at the time, probably because no one explained the tech and the why to me.
Fast forward to the 2020 PGA show. I am walking past the putting green on Wednesday of the show, and I happen to see friend of mine working, and fitting players into the LAB golf Putters. I come to find out that he is now the CEO of LAB Golf. I had no idea. It was a little hectic at the show, so we only spent a few minutes chatting, but we made an appointment to meet up when we got back home.
I spent 2 hours with Sam, learning about the technology and the why. It makes sense to me, but I want to know what educated consumers and previous owners of the putters think.
Thanks for your time!!
I have had the original and now the Reno 2.1 in my bag for four years now I think. I have tried to find a putter to replace it. It is without a doubt one of the most ugly putters on the face of the planet. No putter has been able to knock it out of my bag. The stroke is repeatable and the technology is for real. Putting is the strongest part of my game. One of the tips that I saw when you are using the putter is to make practice swings without your thumbs touching the grip so the the technology of the lie angle balanced head will do its own work....and it truly does. Amazing putter. I am absolutely shocked that this putter hasn’t caught on more than it has....

Spraying shots after starting SSG is fairly common, I think. It happened with this old man! I'm generally fairly straight with my driver, but during Protocol 1 I experienced misses on the course that put me in the rough... some really in the rough!! Over time, and the amount of time will vary from person to person, your body gets used to the faster swings, and the control comes back.
Best of luck on the fitting. The fitter I went to in October told me that he couldn't fit me into any clubs that would be significantly better than what I'm playing. Nice to know, but I was willing to spend money for shiny new stuff!!
Totally agree with Kenny B. The accuracy will return. It makes sense if you think about it. Which club face will be harder to square at impact? Your old swing which was only going X miles per hour? Or you new swing which is going X miles per hour + 10? I am hoping you chose answer B, because that is the correct answer. With time, you will be able to square up that new found speed just as well as you did before. And always remember that 2 degree mishit that is in the fairway may be in the rough when it is thirty yards longer. Enjoy your fitting and keep up with the swing speed training!

Ok. Now that I have spent some time with the planemate. Here are my thoughts. As a training aid junkie....this is without a doubt the most helpful training aid ever invented. My inside takeaway is completely gone. My ball flight at the indoor golf dome and on my Skytrak are like watching the same shot get hit over and over and over again. Short game is on point as well. Looking forward to golf trip in March!!!

Just kicked in my annual donation. Great thanks to you guys who do all the testing. Really appreciate it! It makes picking clubs much easier. Also thanks to all the great people who make this forum special.

Also look at Strokes Gained Putting. You may be a better putter than you think, depending upon how close your first putts are.
THIS!!!
I thought I was a horrible putter even though my buddies all thought I was a good putter. I started doing strokes gained for my golf game and found out that I was a scratch putter....as the program converts your stats to a handicap so that it is easier to visualize your skill level.
Love your program that you are following though deauxrite.

OK. I am going on to day 5 of the protocols today as I got my Plane Mate on Wednesday. It is a great training aid for those who roll the club to the inside on the takeaway. I really like the motion that it ingrains on the takeaway. A mirror is a must with this device if you ask me. The one armed swings are awesome as well. I really like the pitching motion that it teaches....scores on the Sky Trak short game combine have been awesome. I don’t know about the full swing as I haven’t progressed that far yet....but in my humble opinion the short game motion that it teaches is worth the admission price alone.

There are certainly a ton of cool options out there - if you dig deep enough.
I currently have my eye on the Goat Hill Park collection after clocking Tony sporting one on an episode of NPG.
And the track’s connection to Link Soul is also a neat story.
I will take a look now. Thank you for the heads up!

I went looking for golf themed T shirts, and I came back disappointed. If you have a golf themed T shirt that is cool.....I want to see a picture of said shirt. If you don’t have one, what do you think would be a great idea for one? Also....if you have a really bad one.....I want to see that puppy too!

So....Vessel is a quality bag although pricey. I have no experience with the two bags you mention. What interests me more is the substance of this accident. Care to share?
