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.

Testers Announced (4) PING Heppler Putter
Markelly82 replied to Golfspy_CG2's topic in TESTERS WANTED
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 mas

Lessons vs fitting
Markelly82 replied to twyatt700's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
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. -
Needing Serious help from 40-125
Markelly82 replied to Markelly82's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
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 tr -
Needing Serious help from 40-125
Markelly82 replied to Markelly82's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
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

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.
