  1. Wonder if Titelest will make a glossy yellow Velocity. That would be great.
  2. I'm pretty excited about the Ksig in yellow for the season. Maybe, QST or Soft Feel for the fall.
  3. Good perspective @cnosil ! As a senior golfer, I have physical limitations (knee, shoulder and back pain) and if I were told to get my shoulders to 90 degrees and hips turned to 45 degrees in the backswing, I just can't do it at the moment or maybe never. I guess the quick fix is what the majority of golfers are looking for.
  4. Most of today's golf instruction is about changing an individual's imperfections; whether it is snatching the club inside on the backswing, reverse pivot, sway etc. Wouldn't it be better if instruction was based on an ideal swing? AMG has many videos on AM's vs Pro comparisons. I know there's no secret swing in golf. But, I think we'd better served if we can model our swings closer to better players swings. Hopefully, this makes sense. Thx.
  5. I saw the U-PRO Yellow Golf Balls in PGA SS today, the yellow color looks good. But, I don't get the whole mental mates things, looks weird.
  6. I'll add, I used to play with friends and one of my sons and keep score. Now, that I play with my wife, it's not about score any more. It's something to do, a social event. We like to travel and play, too. I still want to hit good shots. But, without keeping score, I don't judge myself after a round or have one hole ruin the day - especially if the bad hole was on #1. It makes the game more enjoyable.
  7. Mixed feelings here. Have played golf for 45 years. The first 10 were just goofing around with friends and we went to the driving range more than the course. Then I tried to improve, had some lessons and bought better equipment and improved to a 90's shooter. Then I joined forums like this. The discussions on how to swing and the equipment fueled an interest to get better. But, also a frustration why it wasn't happening. So, I continue to be disappointed why I didn't get better. But, overall I still enjoy getting out with family and friends and enjoy the equipment aspect of the game.
  8. I never cared for TM drivers with white color and two tone on the head, this new version has a nice classic black crown look.
  9. There's good feedback on these, now there's a new version.
  10. I have a whole bag of chippers with the hybrid irons. So, I doubt I would buy one. With that said, I demo'd the new Smart Sole full face chipper this week and it feels different than prior gens. Besides the full face, these are very easy to take a longer swing and actually pitch the ball. Worth a look.
  11. I found the SmartSole prior gen had too much bounce in the sand. In the fairway and rough, they are much better. The regular CBX Zip Cores have plenty of forgiveness.
  12. Good stuff, thanks, for sharing. You can have the best swing thought, but, if your stance, balance and alignment are not right, it never works. So, you're on target there. I also call it the eff it swing. That tends to be the swing I use after I duff one and it usually works well. I guess as experienced golfers and ones on golf forums, we're always searching for the secret. I kind of know it's coil/full turn in the backswing and swing from the ground up (through swing). But, it never works out any better than just swing your swing. Course and yardage management is good too. My hybrid irons (Launcher XL Halo) help mask some issues, which is nice.
  13. Great Story, RoverRick! Can you share one full swing thought that turned things around for you?
  14. Great suggestions, Kenny. Thank you! It's interesting how ones physical limitations do not get a lot of attention in both lessons and on forums. I thought of stack and tilt for the knee problem. Plus, I have difficulty making a proper turn. I have a sway in the backswing. But, I'm worried about causing a problem on my lead knee. Check out this video. It is suggested that we make an effort to let the hips turn. Also, I am not sure if there's anything to it. But, it is also suggested to sit into the pelvis at address for an easier turn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-QWi6-ahC0 I have to be careful when trying different things as it often makes the situation worse, I need that brace handy at all times, lol! Sr golfer here as well!
  15. I have, thanks. I need to wear it more often for golf and the gym.
  16. Any suggestions with a set up change or swing that will not stress my trail knee? I've been to the ortho/PT and since I am not ready for surgery as recommended, I am looking for a more knee friendly swing or atleast set-up adjustment.
  17. Most will really like these hybrid iron style of clubs. They do look different and that maybe an issue with some people. But, they perform. If money is an issue, I'd look at used HB Turbos. They are as good as the Launcher XL Halo's.
  18. MyGolfSpy testing reveals quality issues with the Ksig3. It's disappointing since the general golfer feedback has been good. I guess most consumers of this ball, mid to high cappers, may not realize the difference and are going for the lower cost.
  19. Just practiced with these day in 45 degree temps. Was expecting a harsh feeling ball due to it's high compression and it wasn't. It had a very good feel. The yellow color is appealing. Coming from a Srixon yellow, I was thinking this is an area, it wouldn't score well with me and it looked good. At $14.00 per dozen, I don't see a good reason to play another ball.
  20. Finally have the V3 in yellow!! There's plenty of them in the store. Will report back.
  21. Did you book this through the resort of a VRBO?
  22. Could be. Hopefully, a future velocity release will come in glossy yellow. I am having flashbacks of the gamersoft, asking for that in yellow. Not sure why the obvious isn't obvious to the oem's.
  23. Anyone play with or try the Easiest Swing? I believe it was started by Brian Sparks and taken over by his son. I tried it years ago and it felt weak. But, looking at Phillip Sparks swing (current YT videos), it looks effortless. From what I can tell this would be better for a senior golfer. He advises to let the head go in the backswing (along with the left heel and bend lead arm) and get to a full finished and balanced position on the through swing. Thoughts?
  24. Does it have to be new? Wilson D100 driver has been great to me. It's a light set up and the regular shaft is perfect for my slow senior swing.
