[Shaft Hack - The Otto Phlex Journey]

I never swung a stiff shaft until a fitter set me up with my irons.

I have Itobori Mxh . I thought I bought the wrong shaft.

until I started working hard on Stack and tilt swing and staying committed to it.

my swing speed is much faster and I’m keeping the stiff  Auto Flex irons , and staying with a regular shaft driver and hybrid 4 wood.

I love my clubs take a peek

Just curious who owns at least one pair of white golf pants.  And further - who actually wears them? 

I own two pair, and wear them both in my golf attire rotation. 

You really should ask ,can you still were white pant     (for a marine trousers )

[Cleveland Launcher xl halo hy-wood 18 Degree]

I’m enjoying my Cleveland 3 Wood , I’m super impressed by this 3 wood . If you’re interested in there woods .

Its the first time I have been on 2 in a long longtime.

It actually went over the green and into a bunker, that I was fortunate to get up and down for bird.

I did have there 3 regular hybrid but didn’t keep it because I like my 4 stealth hybrid more.

I have to ask is your Neck Fuzzed?

 

[Anyone have info on the Edison wedges?]

I have a 49 53 57 61 Edison never had good luck with my wedges.

I would rather hit my 4 iron than my wedges any day.

I even practice with them before I go play and it just doesn’t help.

So I bought a 56 Vega that was used, I played it without practice and ended up having a great day …

 No way will I break 80 if I don’t do something about it.

No he shouldn’t. There’s no standard for flex so how can one have a flex based on flex. Shafts provide weight and feel for the club and golfer. Finding the right shaft weight and the right profile for the golfer is more important. 

You sound like your bitching at me 

[What’s your golf goal this year]

I don’t have a card, because most of the time I’m injured . Or I’m doing something else.

The other day I shot an 85 on a par 72 with a slope of 128.

would my handicap be a 12  . I only had a card along time ago.

I don’t even know how it works.

 Thanks 

 

 

[Advice on a new 3-wood]

You should be swinging a regular with a 90mph swing.

[New wegdes needed]

Vega is really good and Pxg 0311 are exceptional

My right elbow will not straighten completely. I have learned to compensate during my swing and it really does not come in to play except perhaps when hitting the driver possibly. But then again after spending 20 years in the Marine Corps I have multiple issues that could be called injuries. The older you get the more they hurt.

Here is a list of marine corps injuries 

I have had my hip replacement with metal on metal which took 3 more replacements to sort of fix.

fracture my tibia and fibula, heal spur’s bilateral.

neck fusion that gave me RSD both hands.

A huge concussion .

I did all that in 5 years 

now I’m punch drunk from my boxing career, after the corps. I basically have Ctes pre dementia.

So no exercising for me !!!

Thus far it's been a toss up between the FJ DryJoy Tour and Adidas 360 Tour Boost. I walk mostly, and the Adidas are the most comfortable shoes underfoot, but kinda ugly too, at least to my eye. The DJTs are not as cushy, but the stability and aesthetics are better. I had a pair of FJ Icon MyJoys for a little while this fall (see below). They were pretty comfortable underfoot, but the shoe proved too wide in the end, and I returned them. However--and I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder--they looked boss indeed:

Those are soooo nice. My favorite brand is Tuk shoes to bad they don’t make golf shoes, they make awesome shoes.

[Another Course Bites The Dust-Georgia]

Some people did parents did better than others.

I grew up poor never been to a country club

never played the game until I got out of the marine corps.

I all ways though,that country club people always had somebody do their dirty work for them.

 

 

[How many brands are in your bag?]

 Honma Tr440 Driver

3/5 Callaway Fusion fairway woods

Taylormade Gapr high 4 irons 

pxg 0211  5 through pitching wedge 

Edison 49-54-60

Hand made putter bye Coggin’s CMD Golf Co.

That’s 6 brands 

[Has ANYBODY ever overcome driver phobia?]

I’m learning stack and tilt . With that you keep the ball in same place whatever club you’re swinging.

plus you don’t need to hit up on the driver either.

never manipulate your golf club while swinging.

[Recommendations for a Driving Iron]

I use a Hogan UiHi , it’s my favorite iron most of the days when I go out.

[Fake or real? Mizuno JPX 919 Forged]

Is this your first purchase ? Use PayPal all the time with eBay… Older used clubs usually never fake.

[The elusive Fairway Wood Unicorn]

Lots of Taylormade, yes, but the Taylormades in question are all descendants from Adams - they benefitted from ripping off Adam’s “Velocity Slot”.

There’s a lot of good clubs in the mix here, Adam’s, Exotics, Cobras, Taylormades, Callaways, you just gotta find the one that clicks.
 

I think one of the things people don’t think about with woods enough is lie angle and length. I have a tendency to “sole out” the club at address. If my hands are too high or too low, it can create a chain of events in my takeaway and then downswing that leads to inconsistent contact. I can hit a newer Ping wood (generally low lie angle) well, but only if I pick the heel up a tiny bit and get my hands a bit higher. Different manufacturers have different “standards” for length and lie and I think that explains a decent amount of why some people rave about a specific brand of fairway?

Adam stole the velocity slot from Wilson Staff.

it’s a lot older idea than you think.

[Playing with an old injury? How do you deal with it?]

I have had everything possible happen to think.

I did have a clavicle fracture plus a cracked scapula . OTB

I had surgery on the clavicle old school platting .

know AC joint you can have that done arthroscopic.

I worked as a surgical technician for 25 years, done a lot of orthopedic surgery.

If you must find out who is a good orthopedic surgeon. Call a surgery center and ask someone, they will tell you the truth.

good luck 

[Anyone play golf in a Walking Cast/Boot?]

I seen that and he’s has blow out his back either.

Watch when he heals that he didn’t develop some bad habits from doing that.

good luck with your endeavors.

[Looking for a high launcher for my driver]

I switch out my shaft in my Ping 410 Lst  to a Red Tense .

From eBay for $79.00 it’s better than shopping for another driver.

[Anyone play golf in a Walking Cast/Boot?]

I was a surgical tech on probably 50 Achilles tears.

when you get in there it literally looks like a went off in there.

Most surgeons fix it with a anchor and some fiber core sutures and some tenolysas ? To close with.

then what ever they like for skin.

A lot get infections do to sweat !!!

why would you **** it all up if you don’t even know how the first surgery turned out.

Because the second time will really be bad

case.

For you Tec and the Doctor.

[Horrible fitting experience - need shaft help!!]

That 1.5 smash factor bothers me.

[Club Champion (has this been anyone else's experience?)]

I had a super bad time with CC . I think it’s best to get fitted then buy on eBay.

say from Dallas golf or someone like that….. 

By the way at least you’re going to know how long you’re 6 iron goes.
