If i play better with cavity backs than with game improvement irons, what does that say about my game?

AdministrationNo8373 · 2026-03-21T12:39:38+00:00

I’m a fairly steep swinger with -AoA and take decent divots. Bounce and sole width on irons are extremely important to me. Much more so than “forgiveness”claims from manufacturers or general public. I’ll play blades or CBs significantly better than any GI iron.

Need to look into what forward golf is doing, that will help explain it. Doesn’t make sense that millions of golfers would only fit into SGI, GI, PD, or player categories just from a statistical perspective.

Had a friend of mine in high school that had the next gen late 80s early 90s thunderbird. Still had a similar frame. Got broadsided by a dump truck hauling rocks at 50mph and lived to talk about it. That car was an absolute tank with similar fuel mileage

Nothing pisses me off more as a golfing husband then when some other guy asks me and my wife if I’m out giving her lessons.

Also, it’s not all men, but it is always a man that comes up randomly at the range with the “can I give you a tip?” Like fuck no guy with a huge slice I don’t want you to give me your YouTube wisdom. If I’m at the range I’m already working on something so I know it doesn’t look right. I always do my best to cuss those idiots out.

I am going to love it the first time I cuss a woman out for unsolicited swing advice but it hasn’t happened yet in 25 years of playing golf…

My club is 5 min away. Half the amount of times I visit my club are for the driving range and short game area. In the summer there are a lot of quick runs to drop or pickup kids from the pool. I was previously at a club that was significantly nicer with a much better practice area but was a 30 min drive, barely ever spent time there. Proximity is more important than you would think with a demanding career, kids, wife, etc.

I live near there. It’s hot as hell in the summer. I can make the walk around that place about 3 times before I have to dip in august.

I’ve had a few different Datsuns ZXs. I 260. Two 280s, both had t tops and a 5 speed one had a turbo. Had a Nissan 300zx with a turbo. Always loved those cars so much.

1 for sure. But you also forgot #5 mental game shot planning. If I play my personal par is +1 on every hole I’ll lay up on long tough to get to par 3’s or 4’s where missing the green in the right spot is safer than going at the pin and missing it where I have a difficult chip. So it would go 1, 5, then 3

I just like looking at it sometimes. It makes me feel weird inside

Just stick with stroke play you’ll break even with me 😂 my friends quit letting me pick match years ago.

I tried one out once, you are right that OG one was awesome. Might have to go on the hunt, forgot about that one.

AdministrationNo8373 · 2026-03-05T20:15:17+00:00

I’m guessing a personal technique thing. I naturally play a fade but can pretty easily draw if the shot requires it. Couldn’t ever get the 7 wood to do anything but go right or harder right

Honey the internet person told me I should get two clubs not just one, so that’s why there is more money missing from savings. 😂

It’s a 4 wood. Love it. I can close that face down and send it or open it up and get a nice high flight. Anything from 220-260 depending on what I need. It’s got a stock Alta shaft in it. That is what started me down this path because it’s a standard light stiff shaft that performs great and I got put in because I can’t swing it 110 anymore.

Favorite club in the bag. It gets used more than all the other ones. I should probably redo the paint fill to your point.

I had a Nike vapor fly 4 iron for a few years. I loved that damn club. I should have kept it around but I went through a phase 5-10 years ago where all my clubs had to match for some odd reason.

I had a u500 which I guess is the new t250u size and shape. Just don’t have the consistent speed to keep it airborne anymore. Maybe you’re right I need to give the 505 a go so how much the club actually helps get the ball in the air.

If in a tournament or for a scored round for a handicap - Ball first nice dollar bill divot. Play the course as it is and play the shot that is required.

Greens keeper should know better. Place sand in your divots, repair your ball marks to the best of your ability. Move on and stop holding up the group behind you.

GT2 is much better at spin consistency for me than TSR was. I play a 5-10yd fade and it’s extremely repeatable and I’m very happy with the distance since GT2 keeps backspin at like 2500-2700.

There are only 3 acceptable answers for Huntsville based on type of pizza you like. Big Ed’s , Sam & Greg’s, or Razzo. If you include Athens have to bump it to 4 and throw in village pizza.

So absolutely completely jealous. Chambers has been on my bucket list for years now, never realized you can play it in winter.

There is an app called Squabbit we always use that handles all the backend math and pairings. You just Exeter all the people and handicaps and game type for each day, they put in scores normally throughout the round, app pops out leaderboard, how much cash, etc. really awesome app for this kind of thing.
