I slide too much instead of posting up and turning in the downswing; instructor confirmed as much this morning.  Hoping this helps ingrain the right feels a bit…855A68AD-A283-499F-9E1E-4D17270A6656.jpeg.d29bace2704cca49fb939db7246e0c0b.jpeg

Will need some feedback on those, I queued them up in the cart yesterday before deciding against them.

Sliding is a hard habit to break.  I did it for years; you can play that way, but it's not efficient.  Hope this works for you.

I find I can minimize it by focusing on my head position and emphasizing staying behind the ball.  Still, would like that to be an automatic ingrained feel rather than a conscious thought to focus on…

I've gotten so close to pulling the trigger on these multiple times. Like you, I'm a slider, especially when my pivot gets a little too much sway and not enough turn in it.

I'd be curious to hear your feedback on whether you think it would help prevent too much lateral pressure shift to the backside in the backswing. I would assume if you do that, you can't put pressure on the force pedal under your back heel.

A semi-impulse-purchase yesterday.  

Was surfing 2nd Swing's website as I do from time to time.  Have been thinking about putting my MS-11s back into play; I've set them down for trajectory and spin reasons a couple times in the last dozen years.  Those problems are not as pressing these days as they were 10 years ago.  😉

I've also been toying with trying a utility in the 17*-18* slot in the bag.  And, have thought about even replacing Mizuno blade 3i with an MP-20 HMB.

Well, as I poked around the site, I saw they had an MP20 HMB 2 iron, complete with Steelfiber i95 stiff.  A shaft I am contemplating.

Took it as a Sign from the golf gods.  Hoping it gets here in time to use this weekend.  Living in the same town as 2nd Swing HQ might help there.

Picked up a used SM8 as my current 54* is a SM7 I bought from CPO a year and a half ago on a whim (price was right) and is a half inch short and isn't the right grind for me. I had been waiting for one in good condition for a good price! Really excited to finally land one, had to comb through a lot of listings to find the right one!

Bought a SIM 2 head off the other forum… been testing the Sun 70 driver and have really liked it’s pop compared to my cobra, but since the Sub 70 uses a TM adapter I figure I should at least have a TM head lying around too… I may have a problem lol

Tinkering is causing me some issues...  Case in point, I bought a used 2016 M2 that had a great but cut down shaft on it.  I swapped that to my 3 wood  and now my 3W which was coming around for me has turned into an absolute monster 240+ leaving me with a very large gap at the top end.  So, time to put a hybrid back in the bag...

 Rbz stage 2 tour 2 hybrid.

Okay so now I'm way too full at the bottom end of the bag...  Out go the Kirkland's and in go a used TM hi toe 58 I bought at play it again and a new cbx 2 54 that I bought to fill the gap.  

Oh and did I mention that I started dabbling in club building...  So new shafts for the hi toe and cbx 2.   

Im hoping the bag is finally settled after this but who knows....

...I am doing some motivational speaking to get my fellow YB's ready to get back into action to help the golfers of the world practice their passion.

I knew you were an f...ing range ball by the way you flew... 25 yards short!!  Now I have another excuse!!

I see the old age memory loss problem kicking in again Kenny. I mentioned my heritage wasn't on the Urethane side of the tracks. I am a Surlyn.  But just because I was giving a motivational speech to some abused YB range balls doesn't mean I was born a range ball.  Here is a little family history. When I came over to the US they mis heard my name. I said "Sir Lynn" and they wrote it down as Surlyn. So although I wreak havoc to most, almost all royalty wreaked havoc in ther kingdoms. I'm just trying to uphold the family traditions. Rule by intimidation. I believe I am doing an excellent job!

HMB update...

It was obvious to the naked eye, this club was a little upright.  It was also 40.75" long with a rather large grip.  Took it to local 2nd Swing shop to have them adjust it, it was 62* lie.  Just a bit up.  LOL

Aaaaaand...

After trying one owned by a friend, I bought an Orange Whip before playing yesterday.  I think it'll get some use this winter...

it doesn't fit most push carts. The bag was touted as being designed specifically for the push cart

 

... I went through that for years with my Mottocaddy's and MGI remote carts. Nothing seemed to fit on the bottom and it was always a little wobbly going over uneven terrain. A couple times I hit a hole, sprinkler head grown over with grass or drainage ditch and the cart twisted off the cart. Very frustrating. I finally bought the MGI bag that is "designed specifically for MGI carts" and it locks into place at the base and the difference is huge. Great find and good luck with your set up!

yeah I'm excited to use it and see how it really performs on the course. Not having to worry about adjusting half way through or worry about the bag completely coming off is a pretty big deal. @chisag you know how nice it's starting to get here so walking rounds are extremely anticipated. 

What's super strange about the Titleist bag is that the base where the legs connect is about 1" wider than most other bags. Standard seems to be about 6" and this one's 7". Sure it might offer better support when using the stands,  but the insert section on the collar of most carts is just over 6". How Titleist missed this design queue is completely beyond me. It's not like Titleist has their own push cart and has a need to design a different setup to force people to buy their cart.

New to the forum, may as well jump in.

TLDR: New putter to play with!

I saw an Axis1 commercial on YouTube earlier this year, and I've been wanting to try one ever since (newly diving back into golf, had never heard of them before). Doing some digging, I see that there are a lot of golfers out there that view Axis1 putters as over-priced, ugly gimmicks. I see it differently, though, and find a lot of appeal to the design. It makes sense, and IMHO the weird look is fine...there's often great beauty in the space where form follows function. Might have something to do with my being a mechanical engineer.

At any rate, I didn't have the golf budget for a new one. I figured I'd wait through the winter to save up the golf allowance pennies, and if the Axis1 itch was still there, get a brand new one of their lower priced models. Meanwhile, I've been on the lookout on eBay. Happily, a used Umbra model recently came up that fit the budget, and it arrived two days ago. I'll get it on the golf course in two days (likely in the rain). In the meantime, I've been giving it a workout on 3-7 footers in my living room. The feel and distance control are a pretty big switch, mainly because my current putter has a soft face insert and this Umbra doesn't.

The living room putts are leaving a good impression. I can take a lighter grip, which is taking some getting used to, but I think will be better in the long run. Looking down on it at address, I like what I see. Knowing why it looks like it does actually seems to promote confidence in my little brain, so the hosel hasn't bothered me at all thus far. We'll see if that holds once I've got it on a real green. I'm also curious to see how I do with it on distance control for longer putts.

So now I'm looking forward to Friday's round just a bit more than I normally would.

As mentioned before I was look for new irons and the just arrived. Found a great deal on a set of Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal Pro irons that I had re-shafted by @dlow206 and Bort Golf with Fuji Pro Tour Spec 115 Stiff graphite irons, thanks to a virtual fit with TXG. Oh boy do these look great. I love the just slightly larger head of the HMP than my i500s in the 5 and 6, but are about the same in the short irons, plus the offset is very minimal which is great. If anyone wants some more forgiveness with less offset, then you need to give these a serious look. Also great to work with @dlow206 getting a great price of the shafts in doing quick quality work.

Hit them in the net straight away and love the feel of the shafts, though the 4 iron is not one I will be using, bit otherwise very pleased. Hoping to get the spin down a bit with this move as well, so will be sure to share GC Quad numbers when I get on one next.

I haven't been as active around here as much as I'd like recently, so maybe I missed this...

Did you detail your virtual fit with TXG anywhere? Curious what led you to the Fuji Pros? When I started looking at graphite in early 2019 they were one of my first stops. The weight range is about perfect for me, as is bend profile. I think I ultimately went with MMTs because they are .355 and I didn't want to bother with tip trimming...
