FAT32 SHAMER posted:Is the Star supposed to be a degree marker and if not what is 56* mean ? Yes, that's what it means. My stock 56 is ~105y and stock 60 is 85y, but my stock swing with any wedge is really a 3/4 swing compared to a regular iron swing. 4i carry is 215y, driver carry is 285y for reference. I say Matt should take out the hybrid, because that's what I did and the 2i off the tee for short/narrow par 4s has been a game changer for me. Haven't missed the hybrid at all.

I haven’t actually played enough since then to know if it was the right move but it makes sense. I do miss my 3 iron for the rare 210-215 yd shot though.

This is exactly while I'll never get rid of the 2 iron. It's a loving fairway finder off the tee on narrow par 4s.

Yeah I could’ve bent my irons 1* weak, but most of the PGA Tour top 10 in proximity to the hole from 75-125 yd used 3 specialty wedges so I figured I might as well follow suit. Curious as to what the rest of your clubs are if your PW is 47* especially your 9 iron.

mattfl posted:You can take my 2 iron from my cold dead hands! I love that loving club lol My preseason club lineup went back to 3 and 4 irons, took out the hybrid/5 wood. I generally hit the 3i straighter with much less tendency to hit unwanted draws. But, I cannot dig out of the heavy rough with it, and had no holes at my regular course where I needed the 3 from the tee. I keep my alternates in the car, though, for some course around here. How often do you hit the 2i? I took a look at my numbers after winter rounds and realized I just wasn't hitting the long irons often enough to keep them.

I keep my alternates in the car, though, for some course around here. 2i off the tee as a driving iron is my go to club on par 4s that are less than 400 yards. I played 2 rounds on saturday on 2 different course and off the tee I used it 4 or 5 times between the 2 rounds and a hand full of times on the par 5s out of the fairway. I can step on it a bit off the tee and play a low stinger draw and get 15-20 more yards out of it if need be. edit: I'm gonna hit the new Taylormade Sim Driver too today when I go. I love my Nike Vapor fly pro driver, but it's getting up there in age and I feel in the past 5 years since this driver was released the advances in driver tech will probably make a difference. Local PGA store had some pre-owned ones for not stupid prices last time I was in there so I figure what the hell, let's see. mattfl fucked around with this message at 13:05 on Jun 15, 2020 |

Woof. I'm so close to putting together a decent (for me) round but I keep getting thwarted by lost balls. These courses are loving unforgiving. Ball a couple of feet into the tall grass nowhere to be found, there goes two strokes. A little bit of an errant drive into the thick woods, two more strokes. Ended the day at 106, couple blow up holes due to getting in trouble early and not focusing. I'm actually encouraged by today, don't remember chunking it once (which has always been a problem for me) and cut down on my three-putts. Just need to stay out of trouble better.

Wound up with 54/58 Titleist SM7s in black.  I also hit a used TM Sim driver but wasn’t feeling it at all. I have a feeling it’s because it was completely the wrong shaft and wrong loft. My vapor fly pro driver is a XS 60g shaft at 10.5* and this was a S 65g shaft at 8.5*. Couldn’t hit my usual power fade for nothing, everything was slice city which only happens now when I really miss it. I hit probably 30-45 balls with the TM and not once did I see my usual ball flight on the screen. I’ve also been able to hit a draw with my Nike but no matter how hard I tried couldn’t do it with the Sim. I think if I really want a new driver I’m going to have to break down and get proper fit by someone who has proper equipment and stop trying to buy off the shelf/random used.

Titleist 915D3 8.5* Titleist 915F 15* Titleist 915F 18* Titleist 716MB 4-PW Vokey 52/56/60 The irons are stock loft so 43* 9 iron but I probably have fewer than 10 rounds with them. When Maryland reopens and I can get on a Mitchell machine to check/bend the lofts/lies, I’ll need to make a decision about whether to stick with the stock lofts or bend them weak off a 48* PW. Interestingly, a lot of the guys with 52* GW play a 46* PW, but it’s a specialty wedge so relatively speaking a 47* probably goes the same distance.

The Sim is also set at a pretty flat lie angle so that probably wasn't doing you any favors either.

I’ve been golfing for like 7 years and I started with a 44 PW (Cally Razr X) then went to 46 (Bstone J40 dpc) then went back to 44 (Cleveland Launcher CBX) and now I’m back to 46 (Mizuno MP20 mb). The biggest difference by far has been that I finally have a set that’s a little longer than standard and a couple degrees upright. I can just assume a natural posture and hit 145 yard draws all day long with my current PW and the same goes for the whole iron set. I still tend to have a 15 yard gap between the PW and my RTX4 50* gap wedge even though it’s specced the same but it’s not too bad overall.

Hello golf thread, it’s me Doctafun. As I said last spring, I bought a boat, which has been a very great investment of time and resources. Do not believe what anyone tells you about god drat boats and god drat boat trailers, they are the best and nothing ever goes wrong with either of them. Now that that’s off my chest, I wanted to drop in and say that I had the best round of my life two weeks ago(69 dudes) and followed it up with a drat good round last week too(3 over through 14, in heavy winds)! The key is simple, I shortened my swing. I was making piss poor contact with my wedges and irons this year and finally took a video of my swing, and holy hell was it getting lengthy. I went to the range and told myself to take a 3/4 swing with each club and viola, solid contact throughout the bag. However, in classic me fashion, I sold my putter 3 weeks ago on Facebook after it betrayed me, the heartless bastard. I’ve been using my dads old Scotty Cameron phantom futura, which is okay. So which of you lovely thread participants has an old putter lying around that they’d like to sell and ship to me? I’m thinking of going back to an anser style putter for awhile, seems like the time is right, but I wouldn’t scoff at smaller mallets like the odyssey ‘Rossie’. As of now, I officially do not own a putter. anyone looking to move an old flat stick not getting some love? I can PayPal, or I have some old scratch wedges I could package in the deal, a sweet pair of classy Callaway cleats that I only wore once, masters wind breaker, PayPal, etc.

I have a gap in my wedges that bothers me greatly. I play Ping irons that I dont know the degrees on. 50% SW - 50 yards 50% GW - 70 yards SW -85 yards GW - 110 yards PW - 125 yards so I'm kind of screwed at 90 to 100 yards. Should I just choke up on a GW?

No videos off the top of my head, but my general tip for chipping is that deceleration kills. Especially out of the rough or sand, you slow down on your down swing and you’re F’d.

Search "Phil Mickelson short game" on YouTube. There's so much stuff there and Phil is one of the best short game players around. E: what doctafun said too. Never ever ever decelerate. It will always wreck it.
