Shankster Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 Another random thought.... how come my game is better when I swing closer to 100%? Around 95% I see the best results. I guess that means I need to make my 100% my new 85%, more training! bardle, StrokerAce and Rickp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY more winter weather, of course, but beautiful country out there.

I guess that means I need to make my 100% my new 85%, more training! This always helps me put full effort and attention into each swing. It also helps me get all of my weight through the ball and finish the swing instead of leaving all of my weight behind the ball.

mdumble21 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Whilst I am a young buck, I do regularly play with people in their 60s-80s who have gone through multiple surgeries for hips, etc. Quite a few of them have got titanium hips as a result, which has apparently made their love lives a little "interesting".
