Of course there's a SA Golf Thread  I'm a newer golfer, one of those COVID golfers, you'd say. Got the itch in 2022, and then kinda went a little nuts in 2023. Got a coupon from a friend for 40% off anything in the entire cobra golf store, and as a gift to myself bought an entire bag of clubs and a KS1 putter.  Spent most of the summer hitting in the 100s, joined a local private simclub, got more lessons, and shot an 87 at the old course last week, my best score (on a sim) so far. Something finally clicked with how i was swinging, which means that next time i try to play i'm gonna shoot awful, top the ball, and my slice is coming back with a vengeance, but my driver started going 200+ and straight, instead of 170 and 40 yards right. Ignore the triple on 17, you gotta go over the hotel but stay left enough to be not OB, and i was OB many many times, so i tripled myself out (that was the auto concede setting i had on)

mattfl posted:Ya that would work. Shoot me an email mattfl at the gmails donezo. As an aside, it was 70 degrees yesterday in Michigan, so i went to the range. I'd been playing on a sim for months, so i hadn't seen how any shot i took improved outside of the computer. I'd had a loft issue and my swing was awful/wooden before the end of last season. So with some lessons and practice and setup changes i went today expecting nothing and was a bit sore from working out that morning. However, my shot shape was night and day from what it was before. I feel like now i get a little -too much- loft from some of my clubs, but the distances were looking pretty good with range balls and it was so loving awesome to hear that nice click off the face and good travel for the first time outdoors since last year.

Ugh, so i've been getting lessons from a PGA Pro, and while he has given me one or two good tools, we just don't gel. I'm finding myself unable to put what he's telling me into practice, and i can't understand what he's trying to convey. So i have a lesson, it doesn't translate, and then i gently caress myself up trying to fit myself into a mold that i can't fit into, and then mentally i just implode and have an awful loving time golfing. I went from making good contact, and being a little right on my golf shots, to a wicked loving slice or blocking all my shots from my 7i down through my driver, and it's absolutely maddening. I paid for 5 lessons and after 3 i think i'm just gonna cut my losses and find someone I can work with that helps me really understand my shot, how it should feel, what drills will work for me. etc. etc. because i leave every lesson not having any clue what the hell is going on, and it's loving with me something fierce, and i spend my entire next time playing on the sim or at the range or on the course pissed and angry that i don't get it. I was at the range yesterday (thank you 71 degrees in michigan) and i watched a driver shot travel just block so hard right it went like 8 bays+ right. If it was a dogleg right I would be absolute money every time with a shot like this. On the sim it's absolutely like 2500+ rpm of side spin, and my path is showing to be sightly out to in, instead of the in to out i want. i *think* im not squaring my face at impact, and because i'm going out to in slightly, it's making contact at the right point, and then rolling hard off the face slightly to cause that loving path. I don't see it with my short irons because my swing plane feels steeper. either way, i'm having a bad time and i needed to vent, I bought a tripod yesterday, and I'm gonna try to snag some video of my swing to see if i notice anything that i'm not consciously doing. Everyone including the PGA pro said my take away was great, and my back swing was right where it needed to be, so it's gonna be my arms/wrist or body in the downswing (aka my entire swing lol) and i hope i can see what i'm doing and adjust.

xsf421 posted:Where are you at in Michigan? I have a dude I can recommend in the Ann Arbor area. Otherwise yeah, post a video. 2500+ sidespin means you’re probably swiping across it out to in, it can be tricky to figure out what you’re doing without someone else watching or a video. I'm in Livonia, a guy i go to the sim with isn't a PGA pro, but he does golf instruction on the side. I'm gonna try to get a lesson from him and see if we gel. He's my league partner and my financial advisor as well, weirdly enough. He said one thing and corrected one issue i had with regards to me swinging my clubs and i understood what he wanted, and made more consistent swings/distance than i ever have before, so if we can make it work for me he might be a good option. Whos your guy in A2? The Sim I go to is by my old work, in Lake Orion, so i'm driving an hour each way to golf, but i pay a flat rate and can use the sim whenever i want, so it's not some ridiculous cost like xgolf.

Low and left, low and right, just awful. i shot pretty good in my league at marco simone's ryder cup course on sunday, my hdcp is like an 11 right now, im not a good golfer. yesterday we were playing ahead because my league partner was going out of town and i think i triple'd out on 6 of the 9 holes and bogeyed the rest. I'm coming back solo to re-do my round it was so bad. gently caress this game. I'm dealing with a wicked slice or block shot because i haven't been squaring my face well, or my swing path is slightly out to in so it's rolling right off the club face... i'm also struggling with a case of trying to crush the ball and just chopping into the loving thing with my arms. like RCarr said, rebuilding a swing fuckin sucks. (and i'm seriously constantly thinking about how much i want to play more all the loving time. whoops)

I got to try the putter i bought from mattfl as well, and holy hell it really is night and day from the KS-1. a 15 foot putt with the KS-1 felt like i had to put a little more on it, i barely tap the scotty and bam: immediate feedback, and it just kinda flies off the face, in a way im not used to yet.

Golf is dumb. yeah i gotta go back to the sim today to play a course called Druids Glen, and then Pebble's back 9 with high wind. Druids Glen is narrow fairways and trees with lots of water, last time i shot an even 60, im gonna try to lower that to a 55, or a 50. i gotta find a way to download the one video of a shot i took that sliced right into the trees, onto the cartpath, it rolled down the cart path and across a bridge and onto the middle of the fairway... my 2nd shot went OB left, and my 3rd shot went into the water, so i triple bogey'd a hole i should have honestly par'd because golf is hard. I'm really struggling to find out what to do to get that face square at impact, because it's almost always open enough to either go right, or my path's out to in enough with just enough of the face open that i get 1500rpm of right spin when the ball rolls off the face so it starts out pretty okay and then still ends up 30+ yards right because it's an un-intentionally blocked shot. causing some mental strife lol. Edit: if you're in michigan and ever need a 4th to make fun of, i'd love to join you when the season is in full swing. and if you ever wanna come join me at this sim place, i'll foot the bill, it's just a hike from the metro area up to Lake Orion.

I need more local golf friends, all of mine live up in Rochester Hills/Oxford etc etc. Warren Valley near me had a black friday deal last year that was unlimited golf/cart for 1500 bucks, and i was tempted because they rehabbed the west course i think, and they'll have 36 holes going hopefully this year. Edit: So apparently this is something i should have known because it felt so weird to me... I wasn't firing my hips well or at a good time, and i was moving my arms first and they'd get in front of my hips... and when i'd get my hips moving the right way i felt like the rest of my body was so far behind i couldn't catch up and i was all over the place and had zero control over myself. Apparently that's NOT the case, feeling like i'm a wet noodle and getting a hip motion forward first in my down swing just works and i'll put zero effort into a swing and my 9i will go 110 yards dead straight if i'm doing it right. I'm a slow swinger for a dude who's 6'3" because i'm also a big boi chubbo, but also because WELP i'm not sequencing right. Still also having club release problems so my shots still will go from dead straight if everything is good, to so far right my shots make Donald Trump look like a socialist.

xsf421 posted:I have both a 7 wood and 3 hybrid that I swap out depending on wind conditions, they both carry the same distance. I vastly prefer the 7 wood, it's easier for me to hit, goes super high and stops quickly. 3h flies significantly lower and rolls out 2-3 times as far as the wood. The 3h is also a stealth 2+, so it's fade biased and much less likely to go left, which is an issue for me. Swing your hybrid like a 7 iron, hit down on the ball and enjoy it. I have this problem with my 4h, where no matter wtf i do, i'm hitting it off the toe, it's a club i don't use very much because i'm consistently not hitting it well, usually due to that. i wonder if i hit down on the ball more it might lead to a more centered contact point.

nerdz posted:Awesome thanks, I'll definitely look into those as there's a lot of time to test all these irons before deciding which one I'll keep. If anyone wants to suggest more models that would be good for beginners and last me at least the first year I'll take any and all advice, it's a lot to take in at once. I'm new to golf and here's my observations from my first year and a half of consistent play, and this isn't really club talk, but mental/game talk: I suck at golf, i have irons that i probably shouldn't be playing, but they felt good to me, and that's what mattered, i could make contact, and when i hit it well and pure it went straight and was satisfying. My shafts are stiff, but my swing speed is limp... I'm tall and my irons are extended. I'm 100% positive i lose distance because of how big i am, and how i need to get better with moving the big muscles and not my arms. I need to get fitted, but right now what's going to matter most for you is: can you hit the ball, does it go forward, and are you having a good time? I struggle mentally with the game. If i'm having a bad day, i implode and will never play well. I'll top, dig, get too in my head, focus too much and play awfully. Even when i play like poo poo as a new golfer my goal is to have a good time. When i'm having fun i won't give two shits about playing poorly. I'll say oh well, move up and take my next shot, hoping to get outta the poo poo and keep it rolling. It's hard to get out of being frustrated, but when you learn to let the previous shot go you'll always have a better time. Remember you're there to have fun and this isn't for money, we pay for the privilege to go out on gorgeous courses and play golf. Outside of blades vs players distance vs game improvement talk, any time you get to golf should be considered a good time, regardless of equipment. So when you get those clubs and you're gonna test them out: take the 7i or whatever your club of choice is, and hit balls. if you're satisfied with those x-stiff blades and that 7i goes straight, then play those. If you get the other set and it turns out you get some more distance, hit the ball easier, and straighter and get good feedback, and you like how they feel with regular shafts? play those. Anyone telling you that it's gonna be harder for a beginner to play the X-Stiff shafts is correct, it's 100% gonna be harder, it's gonna suck more, and you're not doing yourself any favors... unless you're having a good time doing it, then you do you and have a good time doing it. My first set was my dad's old 1981 mcgregor tour forged blades. The grips were 30 years old and rotted, i had no idea how to swing a club, and i had blisters all over my hands from the range, but i had fun, and until i got a set of more modern hand me downs, i just tried to learn using those. Like another poster said, part of the journey is buying the wrong clubs. When you get on the course no one really looks at your clubs and no one outside of you really remembers your lovely shots unless you're making it memorable by throwing a club or cussing loudly or not keeping up with pace of play. If this happens pick up your ball and move it up to your buddy that's been playing for 20 years and drives it 250+ straight every time, drop there, and play that shot. If you're super focused on score and it's making you fall to pieces, instead of keeping score, do the smiley and frowny thing on each hole. You hit a solid drive, your approach shot was good, but you 3 putt? did it make you feel good to get up to the green in 2? smiley that poo poo. On the next hole did you hook a ball into the woods and then slice into water with the another, so you dropped with your buddy and then skulled your wedge to get up and down? put a frowny face, and then just keep rolling. Every single person on that course that's a low handicapper, or consistent golfer has been there, done that and played exactly like you are gonna play. They're also gonna have the same shots you have more commonly for you, but rarely for them. They will 100% fat an iron and watch it bloop 30y in front of them, or top the ball. So if you're like me and nervous about your first time on a course, do your best to just go and do it. Just step up, set up, take your shot, and play, and have a good loving time because you're on the golf course with people trying to have fun just like you, and you're not at work.

nerdz posted:to devil's advocate myself, it could happen that I end up making friends at the range and someone invites me for a round and I have to either refuse or just ruin everyone else's fun instead of playing with clubs of my level. though right now I don't know anyone and the people who took the training program with me never reached out so Hold on, why would you have to refuse, if you're playing those X-flex blades? because you can't hit them as well as you feel you should? who gives a poo poo. Can you keep pace of play? that's the only thing a lot of golfers care about. are you fun to play with, and can you keep it moving when you need to. When you pure a shot and it goes and lands where you want it, and they notice and congratulate you are you gonna be invalidated because you're playing with difficult to use clubs? No way, no one is gonna care what club you used to get there. they're gonna say great shot! and then you're gonna gently caress up the next one because it's impossible to hit two good shots in a row in golf. They invite you because you're personable and you have to spend 2-6 hours together playing a game you both enjoy, so you're gonna talk, drink a beer or two if you drink, hit your clubs and move on. Seriously, you can hit wood sticks with rocks for heads as long as you're moving quickly enough. You can also pick up your ball and drop it forward with another player to keep pace of play, so you can still chip and putt. Your kit doesn't define you as a player. Your attitude, and being a pleasure to golf with does. It took me a while to realize this, and i still occasionally struggle when im having a bad time. You can have 140 on your score card, and your friend has 84, and he'll invite you to do the same thing next weekend because it was a good time, not because of your clubs or how good/bad you were. iNteg fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Mar 22, 2024 |

 New Bag, New Me. Also realized that my shafts on my 3w and Driver were significantly closer to X-Stiff than Stiff, and i'm more of a R-flex than a S-Flex sort of swing speed at the moment, so I ordered two new R-Flex Tensei AV Raw shafts that should hopefully help me not absolutely hate hitting 3w. I tried my buddies Qi10 3w he bought and i realized that even though his was an S-flex shaft, it felt wildly better to hit than my LTDx did, because it felt like i was swinging a tree trunk with my HZRDUS black shafts. Hopefully that helps out a lot as well.

Played today with xsf, the bag was much nicer to use than my old bag. I’m a big fan. As for my shaft situation; my swing speed is strictly in the middle of a “regular” shaft. I did some looking and put my info into the Mitsubishi fitting tool, and they put me right into the r-flex blue shaft based on questions about my swing and miss; so I think it won’t be worse than what I have right now! I also desperately want a Qi10 7wood after hitting Xsf’s… it had an xflex shaft and I was still piping it pretty freaking well.

waffle enthusiast posted:Is the Callaway Edge set still considered the best option for its price point? Background: I haven’t played a ton of golf outside of Par-3s, but have hit a fair few buckets of balls. So I enjoy golf; I’m just not confident in how much time I’ll have to play regularly. My conundrum is I feel like I’m somewhere in between babbys first set of clubs and whatever the next level is. Used makes me nervous because I don’t know what I don’t know about model lineups. so, for minimal work, and a decent putter, that edge set is a completely legit set. lots of my friends have started with it, however with a little work and research you can get a great set that fits you better second hand for similar price. i know xsf421 has gotten a set of starter clubs for a friend for a good price, but i believe he was trolling for deals for a hot minute.

My swing has been changing so much, and I've been hitting so much off mats that i had a really tough round today. Buuuuut there were some sick glimmers of hope that i AM improving as a golfer. My distances are getting longer, I'm getting the ball up in the air more, but my misses be missing that much more because of the distance increase. I have a wicked push slice going on right now with my driver, and i hit almost all of my iron shots off the toe, even on fairways. I did have a couple of pretty sick short game shots though. Went to a local sim afterward to watch the end of the masters, and that toe-y hit seemed to go away. Golf kicks rear end.

GEMorris posted:Folks usually go 4w 7w if they aren't going 3w 5w (and some good fitters tend to agree that the average swing speed male doesn't have much business swinging a Strong 3 and arguably a regular 3 as well). This is interesting, because i've been adding speed to my clubs at a surprising rate, mostly because of an understanding i didn't have before with my body mechanics and how i've been coming over the top on a lot of iron shots. my driver right now is up around 90-94 mph. My bag is currently Driver, 3w, 4h, 7w, 5i-pw, 52, 54, 58 I hit the 7w typically significantly better than i hit my 3w, unless it's literally off the fairway, because getting through thicc grass is tougher on that 3w for sure. and xsf was literally telling me Sunday on the course that most people can't hit a 3w for poo poo, and on a lot of lies, i'd be better off hitting an iron, and he was right. and honestly if i could trade my 5i for a 5h, i'd probably consider it. iNteg fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Apr 16, 2024 |

xsf421 posted:Yeah, I play a tensei blue tour x-stiff, which is softer than my ping tour 2.0 black x-stiff shaft. I wish companies would stop using hzrdus shafts for their stock shafts, they’re always way on the stiff end of the spectrum for their class. this was my problem. I can swing a Ventus Blue Stiff, and it feels fine. I had 2x HZRDUS stiff shafts on my driver and 3w and they were awful, and now with an R-Flex Tensei Blue it feels much better than it ever did before.

Welp, went to the sim today, started my day not being able to hit anything, stopped playing, switched to the driving range and all of a sudden was able to pipe every club that’s not driver, straight and with power. Hit my 3w 230, 4h 190 with w 210 rollout, 7i 155 with a. 170 rollout. I pray to god that I can keep this feeling going, because it was easily the most put together I’ve felt with my bag in a long time. I changed my first move and started immediately swinging more fluidly and far less rigidly. I’m around a 75-80mph swing speed with my 7i, my 3w was is typically 80 was getting near 90 with 130 ball speed. This means that the next time I play I’m gonna swing like poo poo and play awful, but tonight was glorious and the possibilities showed up for an hour and a half tonight.

 God I love the 7w. It just goes. My 3w will go 20-30 further if I stripe it, but it’s so much harder to hit.

Late night online clearance shopping struck again and 7wood is my favorite club right now out of the rough when i have 160+ and a clear-ish line of sight to where i need to get to. it goes, goes straight unless you REALLY hit it off the heel or toe and can get lofted even through some thicc grass.

GEMorris posted:The weirdest thing about fixing your slice is that when the ball is going right but in a straight line, you know you're halfway there. If only I can get my driver to go right but straight. It goes right but then more right. I’m not even using it right now really, I’ll just hit 3w off the tee. And it’ll still go 200+ but straight, if I’m not deep inside my head on the tee box. (Having some yips off the tee box lately)
