BIG STU 11,246 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 4 hours ago, NRJyzr said: There are a lot of variables in play. One of them is the inherent GPS operating error, the expected plus/minus from actual. Another is that GPS is only as good as the person who mapped the course allows it to be. If someone is a bit less diligent, there could be a problem. Quality of the unit involved is another. There's a course near me that had GPS units on every cart. We found it fairly entertaining that the cart GPS units would give different numbers when parked side by side on the holes. Sometimes considerably different. And there's always possible course redesign, post-mapping, to add another wrinkle. I've seen enough strange readings to not want to rely on it, hence my own purchase. The added irony, I play a course that happens to provide very accurate GPS readings. I know the woman who mapped it, she was a college golfer and both conscientious and meticulous. GPS users at this course are lucky. We ran into the same thing years ago at Indian Wells down here. They had GPS on the carts and we ran into the same thing. Also they were not accurate at all. Now to give credit GPS on the golf course was in it's infancy then as were range finders. I actually had and still have one of the first Bushnells ( and it still works) you know the clunky heavy ones. Now the sprinkler heads had been laser shot and were dead on plus I had played enough tournament golf there I had yardages walked off and in my notebook. One of my partners has a GPS and sometimes he makes me want to throw both him and the GPS in a lake. He does not have one idea how to use it properly. Now our course does not have the sensors on the top of the flags. He can not fathom the fact that there is difference from where the pin is and what his GPS says is like the back of the green. Now I will admit I sorta cheat since I know the course so well that I know about where every pin placement will be in regards to steps right or left etc. Me personally I trust my range finder and my instinct 4 Quote Driver ---- Honma G1_X Stock tuned Honma R shaft---- 3 wood TM V-Steel Aldila 65G R Flex 15*--- 7 Wood TM V-Steel UST Pro Force 65 R flex 21*---- 9 wood TM V-Steel stock MAS Stiff shaft 24*--- Irons 4 thru 9 Mac Muirfield TT black label R-- PW M-85 Macgregor 48* S-400 Sensicore --- SW Vokey SM-4 51* stock shaft--- LW Vokey SM 5 L grind 58* stock shaft--- Putter -- Original Reuter Bulls Eye Standard---.

Popular Post mynerds 472 Posted May 9 Popular Post Share Posted May 9 Stopped by a Play It Again Sports that’s pretty far out of the way to look for a 3 Wood to play with. Found a leftie (!) with a light graphite regular flex shaft (!!) and a midsize (!!!) grip. Very seldomly do I find leftie equipment at all, let alone lighter clubs with bigger grips. Seemed like destiny so I pulled the trigger at $70. Absolutely loved it on the range both off the tee and mat. Very excited to give it a spin on the course, and the midsize CP2 grip might win me over my brand new jumbo CPx’s. 11 Quote Driver: LTDx Max 10.5°, MCG C6 Red 50 R Wood: Nike VR S Covert Fairway Wood 3 Wood 3W 15° Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Black 60 Graphite Regular Hybrid: TS2 4 23° 5 25°, Mitsubishi Kuro Kage Black 60 Graphite Regular Irons: X-20 Irons (5-SW) Wedges: Milled Grind 3 - 54.11 (56°), Milled Grind 3 - 60.10; Vista PRO 60i R Putter: White Hot Pro 1 Bag: Supreme Cart Bag 2022 Balls: MaxFli Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only info I could find was Johnny Wunder replying to a tweet saying it was Uber low spinning and fade bias which sounds delicious lol Got it today and just as I thought it’s a single Diamond head. The seller listed it as a triple diamond head so I got a great deal on it. This is the Sub Zero version but not the 440. Still can’t find much info on it other than possibly started as a prototype for Steph Curry, super low spin, and fade biased. 8 Quote What is in my Bag Boy Revolver Driver: PXG Gen2 0811x 10.5* set to small + with a VA Composites Nemesys 55s @ 44.75" Fairway: F85 5 wood with a UST Elements Chrome 7F5 @ 41.5" Irons: Testing the Titleist T200 irons 4-W2 with Project X LZ 5.5 shaft -1/2" and 1* Up Wedge: Titleist SM7 56* with Project X LZ 5.0 shaft Putter: Custom Futura X5 flow neck with a UST Frequency Filtered shaft -1" with a SS wristlock grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mynerds 472 Posted May 13 Popular Post Share Posted May 13 Newest addition to the toy box is the large PuttOut mat and blue pressure putt trainer. Weirdly, I ordered the mat directly from their site but it was packaged and delivered by Amazon. I wanted the patriot range edition pressure putt trainer which is out of stock online, but found it at Golf Galaxy. GG also had the masters edition gear available in store still, so if that’s your thing then check out their stock.

Popular Post tony@CIC 22,846 Posted May 14 Popular Post Share Posted May 14 We're heading back north in another week so had to make a last stop at the Sarasota PGA Superstore since it's only 30 min away. Wife immediately went to the discount rack for clothes - I on the other hand was looking for a 3 wood. An even though lefty stuff is scarce, I found what I was looking for. LTDx with a Smoke iM10 shaft. Wonder how they knew it was on my wish list. However, I did keep going back and forth between it and the Radspeed 3 Wood with a Tensi shaft, but my wife encouraged me to spend the extra $$ for the LTDx. I love shopping with her. As an added +, it came with a lamkin grip instead of the std ARRCOS grip so I can immediately install a Shotscope sensor and not wait til I install my MCC+4. 19 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X And Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was out by the patio swinging that thing and had his wife on the laptop doing I guess analysis.
