bluesmandan76 329 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I used to go down after it pretty hard, but a couple years ago I switched to a shallower attack ala wild bill melhorn. Now I'm working my way back to a little more go-down-after-it but trying not to over do it. Hard to find a sweet middle spot. I do think shallow helps on thin lies or muddy wet conditions. But i think over all my gir went down a little with shallow... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HardcoreLooper 5,326 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Big time digger most of the time when I'm hitting it well. When it's wet, I take some serious scalps. MGB is right - hit the little ball first. But as I get older, I've learned how to completely lose my posture and hit screaming head-high skulls as well. I get away with it off the tee. Not so good with a wedge. 4 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 4 Wood (17*) - Big Bertha S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 7 Wood - Big Bertha Warbird S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 5i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) GW - LW - F8 - N.S.

tvrepairex 36 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Digger.I started as a picker for years, but over the last two years ,I've really started a more upright attacking swing to help me get a little more power in my old age.

GolfJunkie302 2,232 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Kind of in the middle. Maybe more of a digger. If I have a shot where I want to pick it, I can, but I'd say I'm more of a digger.

JoshAndersonGolf 2,692 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I cracked up at the trophy pelt line! On a wet course in really good shape I'm the same way. I also thinned out my attack angle due to wrist issues.

ole gray 16,638 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I think all of us pickers are trying hard not to give Mother Earth a sore head .. We're trying not to disrupt that pretty turf by whacking a big chunk out of it. 1 Quote Callaway Epic Flash 10.5 Driver Callaway MAVRIK MAX 3 - wood Callaway Big Bertha 2019 4 & 5 hybrid Tommy Armour 845 MAX 6 - GW Irons Cleveland CBX 2 54 Degree SW Cleveland CBX Full-Face Wedge 58 degree Odyssey Triple Track 10 Putter Link to post Share on other sites

Kor.A.Door 5,842 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 So my first thought for this was, that I Am a picker, but if it is deep enough, I will become a digger. 😂 2 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
TR1PTIK 2,892 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I've almost always been a picker, but I have begun to change it up a little so as to make sure I'm hitting down and trough to get a good compression. It's not a 180 degree change, but maybe somewhere around 30 - 45 degrees. It's just enough that I'm beginning to legitimately take some turf with the shot.

Rtracymog 772 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm a picker for sure. I can take a nice beaver pelt if I want to, but typically I'm not taking much of a divot.
