  1. I LOVE THIS POST! .. I mean in the CHA thread, I kinda look at it like maybe holding out a wriggling wagging puppy in front of a young child... (.. no I don't need another wedge.. but it's a Betty! .. no I don't need another wedge.. and besides I play a 60 for the loft.. but it's a Betty!.. no I don't need another wedge...) Ordered.
  2. Nice!! Really trying to internalize that myself ... And being out to the course (of course!). Sounds like a productive lesson
  3. Glad you found something that's working well for you! Funny enough, I've been gaming an ER5 for several years now and .. I think it's working ok for me .. until it's not... Are you planning on any more side by side tests?
  4. Good TGIF Morning fellow golf people!! Sunny and clear here but temps dropped again .. been up and down .. and there was a frost delay on the course! Not going out until later, anyway .. have to make a hopefully steady-play redemption of my last 9 hole round and attempt to limit the number of penalties, errors, mistakes and other (expletive deleted)-ups Hope y'all have a great day and a fun TGIF!!!
  5. Don't know how the parents and yourself are carrying on .. I think I would've quite literally melted down and become non-functional .. my sincere sympathies........
  6. I think I get what you're saying. I have a SkyTrak (which for no good reason gets very little use) and it sits in front of where you stand .. not behind on the target line like many others .. so I got used to lining up parallel to it. In fact put a piece of round driveway marker in the slot in the metal case for a visual aid. Maybe alignment sticks (or draw lines) on your hitting mat at home that are parallel with the LM target line..?
  7. That's curious (not that mine is so great either indoors or outdoors) .. any ideas on how/which way you were off and why?
  8. Really looking at reduced taper grips but this one may be worth a test. Thx!
  9. Yes - that has really helped me out, too! Easy to put in a few reps and the constant reinforcement is beneficial. Of course I still suck .. but nice the read of your progress!!
  10. Got out for 9 at a new to me course - really nice layout set into some wetlands and woods. Started out ok .. a kind of surprising "easy" par on the first then two good (for me) bogeys. Then #4 .. I dunno... Tee -> slice -> splash. Drop -> chunked. Attempted shot on green -> fluffed, splash. Drop -> barely made it onto the front of the green. Just to make the pain complete? 3 putt... This is the view from the back tees on a Par 3 - 200 from the Blacks, yes basically all carry! Fortunately the Gold and Red were waaay further up, with a clean shot .. no water .. and only about 120 into the wind for me. But yeah still came up short, on the front fringe... Here's another short Par 4 where yep this guy drove it straight down the middle and through the fairway into the rough at the end! (..thank you firm and fast fairway ) And, well, after this things fell apart... Managed a bogey on the next Par 3 .. almost had a miraculous up & down after a terrible awful horrible nasty bad not good attempt at a tee shot. #8 and #9 went double, triple....... Hey guys, did I mention this last time? Work. In. Progress.
  11. Good Morning all and yikes .. I am 7 pages behind here!! Hope everyone has been doing well! Sitting here with my honey looking at the ocean .. no not a surf day, just out for a walk. Maybe a little golf later - overcast, cool and a little breezy but hey it's an outdoor sport! Well hope everyone who's working has a literally easy day and hope everyone who's not working has a fun day
  12. Gee Mister, I don't understand... He had to choose??? He couldn't have both at the same time
  13. Bingo! To be brutally honest, I would never ever never (and my mother told me to never say never ) order one without being able to test it first. (Sorry, Sam) The website seems completely devoid* of guidance on model selection. *Except - "automatic", "semi-automatic"... Another Bingo! The choice here should not be pot luck, throw a dart without looking. This question perfectly dovetails into the first - for Player A once you've detected THEIR best head shape .. then, what is THEIR best grip choice based on their particular setup, hand placement, stroke, whatever.... Thx
  14. If we're taking about the Cobra Forged Tecs...... Last season did my own tests of several different GI irons, and also the Forged Tec X .. one of my earlier tests. As a higher handicapper I had it in my head that I needed a true GI iron, vs these are categorized closer to PD (MPF scale), but I loved the look the feel the sound off the face the feedback they give the ball flight I got... Heck maybe I will pick up a set when they go on sale!
  15. Have been intrigued by this ball since it came out; of the MOI claims are even partly true it could possibly benefit my game. And yeah their marketing with Manolo and his Maniacs is, well, different and actually kind of entertaining imho....
