What's Your Favorite Iron Shaft?
pineneedlespro replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Golf Balls/Shafts/Grips
FST 90 R/A flex iron shafts are ideal for my swing speed and my customers Light weight and low kick point and good feel and CPM accuracy Easy to find the spine and good price from Golfworks -
How long do you play a ball before retiring it?
pineneedlespro replied to aguybadatgolf's topic in General Equipment Talk
I play 18 holes with one golf ball then it goes in the practice bag to use for chipping, or experiment with a different shaft or driver or use to give lessons. -
For those golfers that really want to exercise for golf fitness----I found a great book just for golf even with a 11-day fitness program. "Get Yourself In GOLF SHAPE" by Cindy Reid w/Steve Eubanks. It has year round drills to build a strong flexible golf swing. It explains which muscle groups involved in the golf swing and so on 200+ pages.

I have been to the MASTERS tournament a dozen times. I attended the EZ-GO training for a week and they arranged a tee time for the 12 of us to play Augusta National on Friday morning (Jan. 1988). But it snowed that morning and the course was closed----I came so close to playing there.

Putting Drills

It is best described in Tiger Woods book "How I Play Golf" chapter one pages 24 and 25, how light pressure is best when putting. -

New here!
pineneedlespro replied to Back9Scott's topic in Introduce Yourself/ WIYB (What's In Your Bag)
Snake eyes clubs are from Golfsmith (now out of business) the forged irons are good hitting clubs---in due time may want something more forgiving. Maltby clubs from Golfworks are a great deal (with different price points) and they will custom make them to fit the golfer not just something off the rack at a store. -
Putting Drills
pineneedlespro replied to SDunne's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
Putting drills: Look at the hole while stroking the putter and watch the ball go in the hole from all distances, this will smooth out your stroke while looking a spot you want the ball to start on your intended line. Put a coin on the putter head (in hope that it stays there) to smooth out your stroke. Place a ball about 6 inches behind the putter and gently with the backstroke roll the ball backwards a little then take the follow through stroke to hit the intended ball towards the hole. The ladder drill to help with distance control. Find your grip pressure--lighter the better. Place a ball on the edge of the cup and from 6 feet away hit a ball firm enough to knock the other ball into the hole (helps with your concentration). Putting is a game within a game so treat it that way/make it fun to practice. -

what is the appropriate length of a putt to give?
pineneedlespro replied to ryan.mzzz's topic in General Q&A
When playing for cash no putts are given. Playing for fun its up to your group to give the ok/no particular distance.
