    Training aids are expensive

    in General Q&A

    Posted



    I don’t think handicap plays a part in this. The top players in the world is training aids to help build feels and tighten mechanics.

    I am a single digit golfer and use putting aids all the time to check alignment, work on face angle, and stroke.

    Go to the driving range mon-wed at a professional tournament and you will see lots of training aids.

    The problem isn’t the aid, it is having the understanding of which aid you should be using.
    That’s very true!! The point I want to make however, is that for those who don’t know to do these things they spend money on a quick fix that won’t work

    The Distance Debate; Solutions to "Too Much" Distance

    in General Equipment Talk

    Posted

    I think that Jack Nicklaus started a debate that shouldn't exist. The game of golf is evolving just like every other sport. Golfers are stronger golf balls are better. That simple. You can't keep making these extremely long courses to compensate because the large majority of people are not hitting it 300 plus. As stated earlier if you buffer the balls for the tour pros the effect trickles down.

    Is there a way to limit the vibration from thin hits via club head or maybe a shaft? Just started playing again after 5 years off due to car wreck. My left wrist is trash at the moment, working on strengthening etc etc. My first round this past Sunday (89) put me waiting on my wrist to stop throbbing after miss hits (thin) stingers. My current clubs are old XPC 2000 from Goldsmith with Aldila Low Torque Light flex shafts. I'm working on getting things together for a proper fitting and new clubs, but was wondering on which club heads or shafts  might help limit the stinger feel on miss hits.Thanks in advance.

    As stated later definitely give the inserts a try if you are looking to hold onto steel shafts. if not get the graphite shafts and the inserts. With that  you should be good to go. It will cost more though for graphite shafts.

    I bought a Titleist 915f second hand from a golf galaxy in Appleton WI while at the state bowling tourney 2 years ago. I paid 49.99 and even asked the guy are you sure? First couple shots were 280 right down the middle.  I saw enough and scooped it up. Have never thought about getting another 3 wood since. Gonna be sad when it runs outta smoke lol

    The 915s have heads floating around still. If you find a spare head you'll be set.

    I have the flash sub zero and an m4. M4 is easier to hit off a tee. The flash goes 10 full farther and sometimes more . Both are good. 

     

    I feel you on that. I just upgraded mine. I had the speedline fast 10. I had to get the shaft replaced and fell out of love. So i understand that senitiment.

    Does Your Putter Have to Look Good?

    What  am saying is don't get too absorbed in the look. I love the way my rossie looks. I see no need to change. I like what i am looking t. I just think getting the ball in the hole is most important.

    100% agree with this! If I don’t feel comfortable looking at it I do not want it in my bag. I could hit it further and straighter but not like the look. 

     

    14 way, 4 way, 3 way bags Thoughts

    in Golf Bags & Carts

    Posted

    With divided bags being of countless variations, what do you all prefer? I have a mizuno Aerolite micro bag that i have been using for about 4 years. I would like to get a new 14 way bag because I am a meticulous person. But I figured I would ask since there is nothing else better to do with this quarantine.

    So now we know everything about all the new drivers, which is basically a candy cane sugar bar from every maker, but which 3-woods have made a move to the top of the mountain?

    I know the Cobra F8 was considered magical last year, but then the Mavrik and the SIM have arrived. I’ve hit both of those two, and was delighted with both, but not sure what everyone thinks about the rest.

    ive still got my old Callaway 816 Alpha, and I think the newer clubs will out perform that unit.

    anyone got a “new favorite?” And what did it replace?

    stay virus free my fellow spies!

    I can say 3 wood technology is something that doesn't change that much. If henrik stenson can use the same 3 wood for 10 years then all that needs to change is the grip and shaft. The 3 wood is a club that should be capable of hitting a specific distance consistently. if you have one of decent quality you can squeeze a little extra out from time to time if need be.

    I am looking to find an upgrade in the iron department. as a college student I can't go out and break the bank on shiny new compact irons. I'd like some opinions on cost effective options with in the price range of under 800$. i was considering a set of ben hogan PTX pros. I am looking for something with a compact shape, minimal offset, and a reasonable top line. to keep it short I want to have solid feel but have a tad bit of help. Love to get some good opinons.

    I've taken a look at sub 70s I am definitely saving my money for those. Thanks for the input everyone!
