    What/How Did You Practice Today?

    in The Daily

    Posted

    Tinkered with putting grip. Alternated on practice green between double overlap and the pencil grips. Settled on double overlap, with putter position parallel with center line, and ball just ahead of stance.

     

    Also practiced hooded 64* chips. Lipped out a few and had some tap-ins.

    Now, hope it works on course.

    How'd you play?

    Finally got out yesterday to play the nine course adjacent to the main course (lacked daylight to play main course). Shot +2 thought first nine, including a birdie on three. Finished on 13/ hole 4 in total 4 over.

    Love my new to me G30s, easy off the tee, sweet from fairway. Still tinkering with putter grip; practicing pencil and double overlap. Good time and only paid $9.

    Ditching the Hybrid

    in Golf Clubs

    Posted

    Used to carry 3 and 4 hybrid (both xr). Now I just carry a ping g30 19* w/ tour shaft. It has made me focus on hitting 4 iron better, though not always perfect.

     

    You could carry as many hybrids as you want. Look at various LPGA players, They play what works for them, in conjunction with their distance gapping, which is a priority.

    Best Books for Golfers

    in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips

    Posted

    As others have said Ben Hogan's five lessons works extremely well (especially if you overlap grip, but still works for interlock); and Penick's red book for justification and acts as a quick reference.

     

    I personally recommend, Nick Faldo‘ A Swing for Life. Instruction is simplified, well written, and he explains little nuances in great detail.

    Also, Leadbetter's Positive Practice is a quick and understandable read, ( as opposed to the A Swing, which sounds a lot like stack and tilt).

    I'd also recommend Phil's Secrets of the Short Game, but only the chipping, pitching, and bunker play. The putter section lacks a bit of luster.

    Ditching the Hybrid

    I carry only one, a 19* that I use mainly for a 215-220yd par 3. Used carry 5 wood, then 21* 4 iron. Using hybrid is a acquired taste, but gradually it becomes your best buddy. I tried using a x-utility proto, but for my swing, it only worked off the tee. Hence me getting a g30 19*. Use what suits your swing and what you feel confident in.

    Best of luck.

    Preferred Putter Grips?

    in Golf Clubs

    Posted

    +1, add me to the list using superstroke 2.0. Currently gaming g2 craz-e I got for a song, and put a pp62. My sigma g craz-e has stock pp60. Only small grip I have is a 90's/2000s grip on a old ping pal. I was told, for me to use the biggest grip possible. I enjoy SS, but certain models get dirty faster than others.

    Project X "Made for" driver shafts 2018

    in General Equipment Talk

    Posted

    While we are on this topic, does anyone think there is a noticable difference between Project X's standard shafts and handcrafted shafts? I have the HZRDUS Black, standard.

    Had Xr Pro driver and still have xr Pro woods. I was told stock shaft had same profile and near as exact specs to handcrafted. Was told by fitter, differences were standard was machine woven and other obviously was the handcrafted. But at my 8 handicap I wouldn't be able to tell difference.

    Brand(s) you’d like to see make a comeback...?

    in The 19th Hole

    Posted

    I'd like to see Nickent, Macgreger, and Hopkins golf.

    Nickent had good ideas on driver design, but hard to find, and a bit zany. Macgregor had pretty sweet blades and cavity irons. Still remember early on Aaron Badds, “Tell them your playing forged” “Macgregor”! Lastly Hopkins, fairways needed more options, and wedges needed less. Also was really unsure about their golf ball; more skepticism than solid performance.

    Whats your best joke?

    in The 19th Hole

    A man is trying to cross the border on a bicycle with two bags containing sand.

     

    Guy gets to the border, border agent says, “We have to check to see if your smuggling anything”. Agents open the bags, full of sand and let the guy cross.

     

    The guy shows up every day that week, on a bicycle with two bags of sand. Each day the agents open up the bags and find sand.

     

    At the end of the week, one of the agents is on break in a cafe, sees the same guy on a bicycle with the bags of sand.

     

    The agent stops and confronts the guy. “Hey mister, I've been watching you all week, crossing the border and I know your smuggling something, i won't tell a soul, it's been driving me crazy, what are you smuggling”?

     

    The guy says, “Bicycles”.
