Currently hit in the Garage with an SP-8. Realized I might be able to hit inside in our sunroom. For space and aesthetics for my wife, looking at a tractable screen. anyone buy something like this? Too good to be true at this price? https://www.ebay.com/itm/115395459726?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=VeKkcPdmRHW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=LLuINTOBQp6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=SMS

I think I suffered from some of this. Winter in Chicago, did a fitting in January, and so there was rust... Started with Callaway and Ping, got into a grove with the Qi10 Max and DarkSpeed X and then went back to Callaway and Ping. I instantly noticed all the different lines, colors, seams, and the turbulators more so than I normally would. I feel like subconsciously I might have messed with the with the face angle or alignment and that didn't help me swing freely. The Taylormade and Cobras looked like works of art side by side with the Callaway or Ping products. I previously played a Ping G400 and had no issues with the turbulators on course though... I think it's almost like buying a TV? You notice the differences in the store side by side, but you don't once you are home? haha

I’m not going at this alone, this was with a coach. I also think hitting up for me means hitting less down? Haha It was also lesson one of trying to learn how to turn more properly vs like no turn in the right swing. I appreciate the feedback though, I want to give this is a bit of time to settle before I change more, haha I previously tried virtual lessons with Jonathan Yarwood (T100). Amazing info, but I don't know enough about the correct golf swing to fix things with video edits. I need someone in the room talking through the changes with me or practice drills.

Left images are working on something exaggerated to try and get a feel for hitting up on the ball with the driver what do you mean the concept of how to turn looks off?

That's funny... The one time I rented clubs in the last decade, I had that driver and liked. I also had the T100 irons in that set and that prompted the T100S purchase, haha

and so it begins… again…

Completely get that and not trying to second guess anyone who gets paid to do this, haha I just feel like I should be a more responsible consumer or understand better what and why is being suggested for piece of mind.

So in my case the -2 aoa (or whatever) it is is problematic because I am delivering the club differently every time? I know these are lots of questions, but I really do appreciate it. I previously would see a post like the Scotty numbers and think “if I speed train, I will have PGA numbers” and used those as a tool to grade myself when I practice on the launch monitor

Confused again. my biggest issue is spraying the ball. I would give up 5 or 10 yards to hit more fairways. You’re saying that’s what pros are doing on purpose? If I’m doing it naturally, isn’t that good?

And this is why I’m here. Thank you again! “the Information Age” is too complicated… Try to learn stuff, but information overload on incomplete information

Appreciate all the responses, really trying to learn here and all this info has been very helpful Scotty is only launching at 9? Why isn’t he optimized the higher launch numbers referenced for Ping?

So in that context you feel there is a "best setup" for my dumpster fire of a swing?

Good point and not what I meant about playing what I like with the loft context, haha. I meant if I like the feel of the TM vs the Ping or the LA shaft vs the HZRDUS shaft, I’m gonna see nominal differences between the club builds? Re fitting: The last part about different paths to the same finish line is sort of where I get frustrated. That’s why I’m here to learn and understand. When one person says flat and the other says upright, so of feels like non of it matters much?

Or am I just a weird outlier and probably just start whatever I think looks or feels the best unless something drastically gets better? Or being with really consistent flaws? unless something dramatically changes and I fix my swing, you feel like I could basically just play whatever I like to look and feel of? re iron shafts: what I never understood before I specifically asked to try graphic shafts, is why I would get fit into a launch shaft if I have trouble getting the ball up? That’s where I’ve gotten lost in fitting. one guy think I’m flat, one upright, and everyone low launch… but I can’t get the ball up when I’m hitting poorly

@RickyBobby_PR one other question You stated above that because my swing has specific flaws, it doesn’t seem like there’s much to do with equipment in terms of delivering consistency. Went through some old emails, and found all of my fitting specs for the last 10 years. I’ve literally been fit into category of club. Ap2, TM RSi, G400s, i210, and now T100S. I’ve also been fit into S400 shafts, S300 shafts, C tapers, dynamic gold light and then switched to LA Golf. I’ve also been fit into 2° flat and 2° upright. I’ve it’s the snapshot swing that day? Also, the fitter has a personal opinion on how to get the consistency I need? The best change that we have made was weakening the loft of my current clubs by 2°. I get significantly better ball launch and did not lose distance.
