tony@CIC 18,558 Posted May 6, 2018 Author Share Posted May 6, 2018 It's normal not to find LH stuff at most places. It's about money. Which is sad, but that's what it is. I don't think that GG or any box store needs to keep a huge inventory of LH putters, but if they were to have 1 maybe 2 of certain OEM's they would sell, and probably very quickly. I mean they have 42 different models from titleist, 20 from Ping, 35 from Odyssey, and then in the Lefty section they 3 putters 1 TM, 1 used Odyssey, and 1 Wilson. How about you take some of the dollars from the plethora of RH putters and put a few LH models. They will sell, probably pretty quick to. Well said! GG doesn't cater to us - but Dicks (their parent co) is even worse for us.

palvord 3,576 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 It's strange, but I have had more success finding left handed clubs at a local store here in Metro-Detroit. Granted, it is a huge golf specific shop, (can feel like GG) but there are only two locations and both are in Metro-Detroit. Huge left handed only section with new and used selections across multiple price ranges. I am fortunate, because GG and other “national†shops are pretty crappy to lefties.

Kor.A.Door 5,842 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I have no problem buying from the internet BUT I do like to know if what I'm buying is going to work for me. Touchy, feely kinda thing Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I hear there. I don't usually buy without at least touching the items, but in LH stuff, sometimes you just have to guess. 2 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy When I began playing, I preferred the dog leg left. Lately though it's been the dog leg right as I've gone from a fade/slice to a draw/hook.

JRSD 10 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Utility iron; not the driver irons!!!! Looking at improvement on 5 iron. I know (or am sure it's ego) vice proper swing and club selection. Looking to see if any lefty has had success with any of the new utility irons. #5(24-26) degree mainly. My bag: Titleist Driver-Wedge. 915h1 2hy set 18*. 3hy set 21*. 5 iron consistent. 165-180. But was thinking the Srixon U45/U65 irons; among others, MP MMC flu hi, ping crossover. Being lefty and a traditionalist. Makes it hard to find them all to demo at Golf Galaxy, Dicks, or Golf courses here In Austin Texas. Thank you in advance. Apologies for War and Peace thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kor.A.Door 5,842 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I had another opportunity last weekend to hit a RH shot from next to a tree. I had 130ish yards, I flipped over my 8 iron, hit it a bit heavy, on line just came up about 10 yards short, chipped to about 8 feet and made the putt for par. I love making par that way. 4 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to post Share on other sites
robertana.c.3 590 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Any good suggestions for LH golf YT channel? For instance my irons are straight on but my driver and woods slice hard left. Looking to correct. Is being LH a +, -, or negligent for playing golf in general as opposed to RH. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnSmalls 6,196 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Robertana, I used to struggle with the exact same issue and still tend to see it pop up again ESPECIALLY early in the round or if I am getting tired(unfocused). I tried going the YouTube route and figuring it out in the beginning (I was too arrogant to take lessons)----which worked for a while and then my swing got worse but I didn't understand why. The best advice I can give comes from personal experience all within the past year. Please, do yourself a favor and go see a professional instructor, preferably with video/recording capabilities. Everyone swings a club differently and there are multiple causes for a slice. A swing flaw cannot accurately be diagnosed without seeing the swing and then there are different methods (opinions) for "fixing" what is wrong. Professional instruction has been the best for my game, and being able to see what I am doing on a video monitor while being corrected has helped me learn why the swing corrections are working.

robertana.c.3 590 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 JohnSmalls. Thank you. I will take the advice. I watch that channel right now so good to see I'm on the right track. Would like a LH channel though also if u or anyone knows a good one to recommend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree with with this post. As soon as I feel I'm going “sideways†I go to a Teaching Pro. Saves me a great deal of angst. I know I'll never be really good but I do want to play as well as I can.

00sportsman 2,376 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 It seems as though a slice off the tee is the price you have to pay for playing from the right side of the ball. It's a real common ailment for lefties, as far as I can tell. On a different note, I went into the pro shop at the course I was going to play today, and there were a bunch of left handed clubs. I commented on them to my buddy, the member, and he told me the pro is a lefty. Looks like I've found someplace to try to get some lessons.

MDGolfHacker 7,020 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Funny enough, I was on a cruise ship and they had a golf simulator with a PGA pro on board. Guess what... He was a lefty! So I took two lessons while onboard (short game chopping and iron swings). Kind of hard to practice chipping when the boat was a rockin', lol. I forgot his name but he's the only pro I've come across who was a lefty. Maybe we should start our own YouTube channel... LGC. Lefty Golf Channel ðŸ˜.
