What Is On Your Golfing Bucket List?
Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in The 19th Hole
ANY TPC COURSE....SAWGRASS FIRST WOULD BE NICE. -
What Golf Ball Are You Playing In 2024?
Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Golf Balls/Shafts/Grips
Tour Response with the wide stripe. Definitely has helped with confidence in aligning putts inside 15 feet and trusting the line. The mind is a funny thing! -
It will impact consistency 100%! But If you play more rounds because you saved money on balls then I’m all for it.

what is the appropriate length of a putt to give?
Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob replied to ryan.mzzz's topic in General Q&A
If its for birdie....hole it no matter the length! Who doesn't want to hear the sound of the cup on a birdie putt. For par, inside the grip. For bogey or higher, whatever you want to make you feel good. -
I always gravitate toward set wedge because I don't really use 50 to chip. I do use it occasionally for bump and run if I want to get less run out than 8/9, which are my preferred b&r clubs. Good luck.

Good call out.....makes sense to me.....the one stat I know this will change a lot is the fairway hit....I play a lot from within 5 feet of the fairway right. If I change the putt approach to be same as you....I dread to think what my actual putts per round were in '23....lol

Difference between KBS 610 and s400 wedge shafts
Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob replied to TexasFullSend's topic in Golf Balls/Shafts/Grips
Just ordered new wedges with 610's.....moving out of S400, which I played forever....hoping its a seamless transition. -
7.9 now...started 2023 at 4.6...rough year!

Any suggestions on game tracking stats to keep? What are you all doing to track/improve your game? My stats from '23 below. Well, seems to be that I need to improve in just about all areas. Really glad to have the GHIN tracking to break it all down. Wish there were a few more stats on the APP, but overall I think it gives enough to see the opportunities in my game. The stats don't lie.... Driving: Need to work on club path to reduce L-R and hit more fairways. I'm not in trouble or OB a lot, but hit a lot of approaches from the rough. Irons: Same as driver....out/in path and occasional fat is causing high % short/right outcomes. Chipping: With the low GIR % last year I really need to be sharper. Need to work on using bounce more to get more consistent strikes. Need to focus more on landing point and visualize the shot. Putting: Too many long putts (I think)....improved GIR and better proximity on chips should naturally improve this. Distance control on putts is good from 20 and in....I think. Wish I knew my proximity stats on chips, so I could see how its impacting my putting stats. My gut tells me I'll get more out of practicing chips, then putting.....so that's what I plan to do. 2024 Goals: Driving: 50+% fairways. Missed L&R within 5% of each other. Irons: 60%+GIR. <10% short and missing L same % or higher than missing right. Putts: 31, with 3 putts below 5%. HCP Result: If I can improve on above stuff, HCP by end of season should definitely be <5.

One other mention....I found the Vokey 50 to be a little dead higher in the head, which is my miss on wedges. Get more consistent results from my T100 gap wedge.
-
I've done both, but always seem to come back to the set wedge for the gap wedge because I rarely use it to chip. Gap wedge has same iron shaft. My gap is typically a full or 3/4 shot....only occasional bump and run....since I prefer to use 9 or 8 for bump and runs. Good luck, no bad decision here
-
Getting older....and just too much work to load the X100's in my second set. Anyone ever SS 3x's to try to get close to a full flex reduction? I'd only have to buy one shaft since I have 2-PW, but would only look to reshaft/SS the 4-PW. Not looking for a match, but trying to get closer to S flex. How did they play? Any comments appreciated.

Same reason I watch any sport….its Live competition!!

Good call....nothing like a fresh clean look on old classics! I'm all for it!

Best players distance type irons on a budget
Billy-Bo-Jim-Bob replied to SteveGH7's topic in Golf Clubs
Sub 70 or Takomo are quality sticks at 1/2 the price. Don't neglect the shaft selection on flex and length. -
Just purchased wintersof pair. Hoping for the best.

Anyone else have comments on 3 v 4 wedge setup. I'm thinking to scrap the 54 & 58 and just go 56 (so 44, 50 and 56).....but would need to find a very versatile bounce/grind to play the different shots I hit w current 54 & 58. Any thoughts?

Full - 44 (135) - 50 (120) - 54 (107) - 58 (95) 3/4 - 125 - 105 - 90 - 75 1/2 - 115 - 95 - 75 - 55
