Would be pumped to test this. LFGooooooooooooo

Mark Muncie, IN Ping G410 5.6 112 I would like to review the TSI3

Update on this. I just put the grip on my 56 degree. I felt great hitting full shots, half shots, and chips. It really felt comfortable.

I've purchased 3. Planning on putting one on my Driver, 7 iron, and my 52. Excited to see how it feels.

I wasn't 100% where this topic fit so I apologize if this isn't the right area. I'm interested in testing out the JumboMax grips. I wear the XL gloves and have always felt like Midsize grips lacking a little for me. Does anyone have these? Thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciative. I'm constantly tinkering looking for the best next thing to help improve my game.

good luck all. Can't wait to see the reviews on these beauties. Ping always produces top notch products.

I've been practicing on a nightly basis putting on a 48" metal measuring stick. I'm working on keeping the ball rolling on the stick and not falling off side to side. I know if the putt was off based on the roll. The stick is flat too. Just in case someone asks. I've had a large problem putting the ball on line so getting a consistent stroke has really helped.

I just bought the G410 LST in July. This news is kind of frustrating to me. I feel like Ping has always been a bit slower with their roll outs. Kind of makes me think I'm missing out on some great new tech.

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I have been playing golf for about 29 years. I got started with my dad when I was about 5. I got more heavily involved in golf around age 11. My dad would drop me off at my local course and I would play all day with my friends. Was nice when the course offered a youth membership for $100. My average score is around 76 at the par 70 course I play at. What do you love about golf? I love the challenge of golf. There's no mastering it. There's always something to work on to strive and get better. I also love tinkering and love hitting new clubs to feel the difference between my clubs and someone else's. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I enjoy the forums. Helping others with some knowledge I may have and vice versa. Like I answered in the previous message, there's always room for improvement. There's a vast array of different golfers that have been through similar challenges I might be going through at the time. Post a question and you can easily get multiple suggestions and tips for things to work on. I don't know any other spies. Where are you from? What is your home course? I'm from Muncie, Indiana (home of Ball State University) I play regularly at Delaware Country Club and The Player's Club. Both are good courses that offer different ways to golf. Both challenging in their own rite. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? The weather sucks in Indiana. Plan and simple. Your golf season only runs from April-Oct, which is a long time, but not enough in my mind. What do you do for a living? I work for a large insurance company as an analyst. How’d you pick your user name? My first and last name with my football # from college.

I'm always down for interesting new contraptions that will help my golf game. Thanks for the info.

I had a fitting for driver shafts a month ago. The fitter said we can't really optimize the shaft until you fix your swing. I was hitting down on the ball more than I should imparting back spin. I wish I would have went to the local PGA pro I see on occasion to look at my swing first to make sure everything is in good order. As soon as the fitting was done, I immediately texted the Pro and asked for a lesson. My swing is getting better. I feel like now, I could optimize the shafts more had I gone after. Get the lessons first, then go for the upgraded sticks.

I put some of the tips to use and my wedge strikes were definitely more consistent. I'm still working on keeping my head level through the strike. This is honestly a problem for a lot of my swings. I know being "handsie" isn't good for my swing. The suggestion of watching Martin Chuck's video was good. I know the chest should be a driver in the swing because it should leave you to the target. I just need to figure it out and put it all together. I'm sure some are saying you have a low handicap, why are you complaining. Well that's just my thought process. I'm always tinkering trying to figure out my swing to get better. It's very frustrating hitting as many fairways as I do, with the distance I have only to throw away the strokes so easily.

Thank you for the video. I actually worked on it some tonight with just swinging the club, no balls. I have a scramble tomorrow and I'll definitely be putting this into practice there. I can easily switch between swings without totally screwing my swing up. I'll let you know how it goes. Fingers crossed.

I can typically drive the ball pretty well usually leaving myself in between 40-125 into most holes. I struggle Woefully from these distances. My typical miss is a chunk, but I'm also excellent at thinning wedges across the green. I used to dig trenches when I hit wedges. I'm talking like full beaver pelt divots. I've gotten a little better in the last month shallowing my swing more. I understand having tour level wedges isn't in the cards, but I'm looking for serviceable wedges to potentially score better. I normally average around 1 or 2 birdies a round which sucks compared to how far I can hit a driver. I'm 6' 6" which probably goes into why I can get steep. To give a frame of reference if you're going to provide input, I've been working on set up as of late. I'm trying to stand more upright with my chest and my butt out. I'm trying to keep this position throughout the swing. I've heard about swing more with arms and hands and keeping the rest of my body still. I've also seen and heard matching the arms with the body and the hips leading the swing. I probably has so many damn thoughts going on that I'm bound and determined to F up the wedge swing no matter what I do. Any drills, tips, or guidance would be greatly appreciative as I'm struggling for consistency.

if you dream it, you can do it???? Is that a good catchy phrase to drop your handicap. Sarcasm of course. The above tips and drills are excellent things to concentrate on. I have realized in my own game that Golf is a marathon not a sprint. We all strive for perfection, only to be disappointed. Just remember to have fun.
