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..?

That's curious (not that mine is so great either indoors or outdoors) .. any ideas on how/which way you were off and why?

Really looking at reduced taper grips but this one may be worth a test. Thx!

Byrnzee's Swing Change Thread
cksurfdude replied to Byrnzee's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
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!! -
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.

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

Gee Mister, I don't understand... He had to choose??? He couldn't have both at the same time -
#ASKMYGOLFSPY - L.A.B. Golf Edition
cksurfdude replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Breaking News and Debate
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 -
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!

Ultra Unofficial Review of Wilson Triad Ball
cksurfdude replied to HikingMike's topic in Member Reviews
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.... -
Wow that sounds like a very specific, very hard to find item... I'm sure you've been searching online. Good luck!

2020 Official Member Review: Exputt putting simulator
cksurfdude replied to StrokerAce's topic in Forum Testing Reviews
. . . ..still lol lmao Gonna try to drop that one in on @cnosil at the Kingsmill Outing!!!! ... On the serious side, gonna spend more time on 20 footers .. based on my last few rounds the *average* first putt distance is a little over 20 (though obviously very few are actually -at- 20). -
Shaft Hack - The Otto Phlex Journey
cksurfdude replied to azstu324's topic in General Equipment Talk
Hai! Sensei I totally agree with you. Think of the rope drill - the old pros could snap a line and whack golf balls with it... For us, I believe that .. the closer we get to keeping the club working on-plane and the closer we get to keeping an even smooth tempo throughout the swing .. the more success we can have with an O-P shaft... ...ommm .... -
dammm sorry to hear about all those hassles.... Well on the flip Sir Chunks wins - in a very big way! - this week's Monday Blues Award!!!
