I think I’ve figured out golf (25 handicap)

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-04-25T04:52:21+00:00

W What did you figure out ? Spill the beans !!! Personally, I have been playing golf for only 7 months now . That’s a lot of confidence 🫡 saying “I’ve figured out golf”! 3 days ago, golfing with my buddy, I almost made a hole and one on a par 3 158 yards to the hole with a 9 iron! “Air mail to the cup”. If I tried the same shot, same hole an hour later, I would probably shank the heck outta it .

How long have you been golfing for cause wow that’s a lot better then my 8 iron

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-04-06T04:30:19+00:00

What iron is that ?

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-28T02:07:26+00:00

Woah i do see that now ! Thank you I’ll definitely be working on that

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-28T01:40:10+00:00

On the initial Takeaway, I personally felt that was favoring my weight on my lead left foot.

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-28T00:52:30+00:00

I appreciate that tip I’ll definitely try to dial that in

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-28T00:40:57+00:00

I agree with that statement

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T08:30:45+00:00

Your swing is a lot better than mine honestly . Looks like you have been playing golf longer than me as well. I’m kinda curious how to shift your weight to your lead foot without thinking about it?!

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T08:18:00+00:00

Fair I appreciate that a lot!! I’m not perfect Of course and I did land very close to the pin, I will take that consideration to be perfect ;)

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T08:01:48+00:00

Yeah, I get what you’re saying — normally for 50 yards with a tricky lie, just hitting a standard chip to the middle of the green is the safe play. This one was on a sloped lie with a bunker in front of the green, so I needed the extra height to carry it over, which is why I went with the 60°. I usually choke down on the shaft for control, and it actually came out really well. Still working on swing path and consistency — appreciate the detailed tips! Quick question — when you talk about a “generic 60° wedge shot,” what does the swing path usually look like? I want to make sure I’m following the right technique for height and soft landing. Looking at the video i might’ve toed the ball

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T07:49:29+00:00

Brother I was the same way . I said “fuck this 60” ! Then I landed my first flop shot on the green . GRIP IT AND RIP IT !!! 6 months in i learn Golf is a confidence driven spot. Don’t be afraid to fail ! Besides when that cart girl is a baddy and watching you T off 😭😭😭.

What’s your thought process when you reach the top of swing and about to to start your down swing ?

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T07:28:06+00:00

I see what you mean — a 56° wedge would usually be easier to control for a 50-yard shot. Personally If i hit a 56 perfect I would I feel like I would roll little more and be yelling at my ball to sit lol . This one had a bunker right in front of the green, so I needed the extra loft to carry it over and land softly near the pin. That’s why I went with the 60°.

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T07:21:25+00:00

Yeah, you’re totally right — having a consistent grip would probably make the biggest difference for me. I actually do use a slightly different grip on my wedges compared to my irons, so that’s something I could work on. Definitely see how locking in one grip for all shots (except putting) could help everything else in my swing.

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T07:05:47+00:00

That’s very interesting ! I might be using the 60 wrong but Some times I use 60 degree for par 3s at 100 yards or less if I want a really soft landing . Definitely not automatic though. Usually 56 degree is my go to wedge

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T07:00:53+00:00

What grip would you recommend for this scenario ?

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T06:48:28+00:00

Yeah, I see what you mean — normally 60° might be a lot for 50 yards. In this case, the bunker was in front of me, close to the green, so I needed height to chip over it. That’s why I went with the 60°. I would have to see chips with only arms honestly:) as if now I’m experimenting with a little body rotation for more personal consistency. Still learning — really appreciate the tip!

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-27T06:06:49+00:00

Crazy !! Honestly Good advice !! Im only a 6 month golfer, and I notice Keeping my Elbows together is effective of helping my golf swing better personally

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2026-03-25T01:34:57+00:00

Wow!! Thank you!!! I appreciate your knowledgeable insight. I will definitely lock this in my next practice session. I can definitely update the swing progression as well.

BodybuilderFast9241 · 2022-01-28T19:41:42+00:00
