One thing my instructor talked to me about was overexaggerating movements/drills, and that i overexaggerate too much. Did it the other day with closing my stance too much and his feedback was that it should be more subtle.
Here is a swing today, trying not to overdo the closed stance, just closed a small amount.
What part of your body do you consider slightly closed in this setup? Also closed in relation to what?

Exactly, I’ve never seen a ball “run” the way it does off this club face.
That’s why if I can gain more height this driver will be dynamite.
Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpyThat would be with the assumption due to change in peak height, spin, launch and most likely land angle the amount of roll out continues.

Here Chris Ryan says that you can't tell the path from the ball flight for a push slice, it can be from any path, with the face extremely open to path
Also, i made a picture. Green is target line, black is swing path. If the face is that open to swingpath, its starting right and going even further right. And its going to be a weak glancing blow.
EDIT: Here is a better picture from Adam Young
That’s the first time I’ve heard anyone refer to a push coming from an out to in path. It’s alway been referred to as pull slice but because the face is so open it’s a slap across the ball and thus the right to right flight.

With me being prone to hitting a push slice (an over the top push slice, not an inside out push slice), I am experimenting putting the adapter on the A3 setting. So far, it seems to help mitigate the chance of a push slice. Of course I can still put a bad swing on the ball and hit a push slice, but helps make it less likely.
Can you explain what an out to in push slice is? Usually a push shot is a push fade and is a right starting ball going further right. My understanding is that if you are out to in you are going to pull the ball and thus it would be har for push anything if you are coming from the outside of the ball.

Thanks, that makes sense. If these were some normal shafts, I probably would just test them out and see. But these are some special edition green colored Masters Steelfibers, so i would hate to cut them down and install them, find out they don't work well for me, and then sell them used when i could have sold them brand new in the first place.
The i95 stiff is the same shaft Brandt Snedeker had used since 2018.
As mentioned the steelfibers play stiff to flex and have a boardy feel for most. It’s actually what caused Matt Kuchar to go away from 110s and iirc why Snedeker went to the i95s voce the 110 and x flex. Also this knock is why Aerotech designed the FC version
Not to sound negative but the chances of you having a successful testing period with them and if you are worried about cutting them them down used instead of new I would highly consider just selling them new

Thanks all for the feedback here
It's amazing to get such kind of feedback.
I only struggle a bit with the 1° FLAT... I'm not sure if this is the right choice because we noticed today that my mizunos are 2° FLAT (7 iron) but the strange thing is that I ordered them with standard lie angle. So and now I'm a bit scared... regarding the lie angle or should I go with standard lie angle?
Like many things in golf there’s no standard lie. The degree flat or up is only relative to that manufacturer when saying what lie one goes with.
Is your pro saying that your Mizunos are 2* flat compared to what the Mizuno lie spec is for those irons or 2* flat compared to the p790 or some other iron?

Hey guys,
I just came back from my local pro shop...
I hit a few balls with the iron 7 P790 with the Nippon Steel 950 GH Neo, S-Flex, 98gr.! It was incredible, almost every ball I hit solid straight. But the feel of the shaft was a bit to hard in my hands...I think I would go for the R-Flex version from this shaft and stick to the specs. -1" plus 1° FLAT.
The ball flight was amazing... they started low and after a few meters it went up in the sky! Really cool - I never hat this feeling with my Mizuno Irons in the last two years.
Any opinions from your side?
You asked about more data - for what you're are looking exactly?
And, does anyone have experiences with the TW wedges?
Cheers,
MavrixDo you know your
Spin
angle of attack
peak height
descent angle or land angle depends on the monitor
To determine what shaft and head combo works best for you the comparison between these numbers is what would be used.
As for the TW wedges they are good. They are the same as the mg2 wedges but with tigers specs for low, grind and bounce. If the bounce on the wedges work with a persons swing then they will be fine but if someone needs less bounce or a different lie angle they probably won’t work.
-
The best thing to do is find a shop that does a fitting and buy what they fit you for.
Swing speed while important is only one of many factors and definitely not the top of the list into what shaft a person should get.
Flex has no industry standard and some graphite shafts can play and feel stiffer than some steel shafts. Shafts will load and feel different for people at the same speed based on how they swing the club.
Spin, descent/land angle, peak height are also jeep factors into what’s best.
Do you have any of your data other than speed comparing your clubs with the p790s from your trackman session?

Thanks for the reply.
Just to make sure we're on the same page, the "G" line was followed by G400 and G410. G line was released in Feb 2016
When they replaced my G30 in Feb 2019 it had been followed by the G line and G400. G30 line was released in Aug 2014.
So my G 3-wood was the same in "releases" and newer in years than my G30 driver when it cracked. Maybe I got lucky on the driver or maybe they changed their policy. My Pro is looking into it but I was curious if anyone knew about a policy change.
We are on the same page but ping is about to release the ping g425 so it’s borderline 3 release cycles from the g
-
Ping normally fully replaces within a 2-3 year period. After that it’s going to be at their discretion. It’s been awhile since I’ve looked at their page but they don’t list their exact policy but rather a number to call and they will work out details and explain to you the whats and why.
My guess is that the g being 3 release cycles ago they aren’t doing a full replacement. One will find most manufacturers don’t always do a full replacement after 2 cycles. Most tend to do 2 year warranties

Specs like those are manufacturer generated and don’t really compare across other shafts. Also players respond to shaft feels and adjust. I would look at the head for the differing launch parameters and less on the shaft.Cnosil captured it pretty well. It’s possible that you are delivering the club in way that increased launch characteristics due to the weight of the shaft and/or head or the overall combo.
but without lm data for the two clubs on the same day in the same environment it’s all speculation

One observation. The TSi 2 in a 10 degree plus the Graphite Design AD-XC 6S is much higher launching (in a good way) than my SIM Max 10.5 with the Ventus Red 5S. On paper it doesn't make sense because the Ventus Red is supposed to be mid-high launch and the AD-XC is heavier and is supposed to be low-mid launch.
Are you talking actual launch or peak height? Sometimes people confuse the two.
Also for the most part shafts themselves aren’t going to change launch or even spin. They may cause a person to deliver the club different which will cause changes in ball flight characteristics

You are definitely a better player and faster swinger than me, so makes sense that you fit into the 3.
while those two qualities may have a role in why he fitted into the 3, they are probably not as important as the ball flight characteristics seen in trackman and the ball flight itself along with his swing.
Per titleist website just going thru the first page or so of their brand ambassadors the following guys are all playing the 2 and most at 10*

Makes sense. I think even when i used alignment sticks and had my feet aligned, my shoulders were not aligned with my feet, does that make sense?
Try using the alignment stick on the heels instead of the toes. People splay their feet and it can throw off alignment. Also use an alignment stick across the hips and the shoulders they should be parallel

This is a great point. I believe that point on how the club head is delivered vs shaft was a topic on one of TXG’s videos.
I recall one of their videos covering that. Iirc andrew rice has posted some videos with lm data on that as well as contact points
-
As Rob mentions there’s no way for anyone to tell if you are hitting to high and that height is causing you distance without seeing numbers.
With that said looking at what your ball is doing at the apex will indicate if you are spinning the ball too much and losing distance. If your ball gets to the apex and then continues to rise likes ballon you have to much spin.
If you are having too much spin it’s more than likely going to be how you deliver the club rather than the club/shaft combo

I really like how Titleist puts together a matrix based on their classification of shafts across brands. They don't solely rely on the shaft vendor's profiles, and they also classify launch and spin for each weight of a particular shaft. The shaft that I was fitted into for example, the GD AD-XC 6S. GD classifies Low/Mid launch, Low spin. Titleist classifies the same shaft as Mid-launch, Low-Mid spin.
Also, many shaft vendors classify their shafts as high launch, low spin. Titleist does not classify any shafts as truly meeting this category.
It’s a perfect example of how there’s no standard in the industry. Also this is why you sometimes see the torque or other specs listed on their page be different from the manufacturer. They do their own testing and as we know each manufacturer tests torque and stuff differently

The new line from TM is definitely eye catching.
Possibly going back to tensei blue
Absolutely. Already told some buddies that 770 will be in the bag for next season...could be sooner depending on how much of a bug for them I catch. Only question is do I combo and if so is it a mc/770 or 770/790

I figured it was the alignment stick but based on what I saw in the video I wanted to make sure. Here’s a capture at address and while we can’t see the left side you look square to the alignment stick.
If you were slightly closed we would be able to see some part of your left leg, left arm and chest.
