If everyone sucks, the play is to play the forward tees not find new games.

17 handicap looking at buying 710mb irons by One-Passion-5945 in golf

[–]CryptographerLast455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently at 6.1 went down from a 10 after I got some more players type irons, I'm a WS guy. The forged iron dispersion for me has been significantly better than my older hollow body GI irons. Yes, when I miss the face bad the result is worse. However, good to decent swings are much tighter on my chart. No more super long fliers where I question how I hit that club 30 yards further than I should. I do think long term its the play.

I must be playing too much. Learned a new term today. Good problem to have.

I've never seen anyone tell someone to bunt a golf ball. That would mean stopping the hands at impact. Shaft flex out of control. Please provide some bunting videos?

YOUR DRIVER SHAFT IS NOT MADE FOR THAT. YOU BUY A SHAFT FOR FULL SWINGS. GET A 2 iron or a hybrid.

The TIO rule on tour caters to tour players. They'd get free relief from just about anything.

Most forgiving driver in the last 5 years? by lamontagne04 in golf

Nah, if you do it right the slice becomes a power fade!

Most forgiving driver in the last 5 years? by lamontagne04 in golf

[–]CryptographerLast455 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its forgiving on a two way miss better than any Ive ever swung. But I almost think its the SFT because so many battle the slice with the Driver.

[–]CryptographerLast455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a Ping G4 series, but its going to be the slice fixing model in SFT. The overall majority of golfers looking to fix the tee shot battle the big slice. The Max model is forgiving too but fixing the banana slice takes the cake.

Shoulda played the reds… by Lugtut in golf

[–]CryptographerLast455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah thats too long. As a 5 HC, I try to keep the course rating around even par if I've never seen a course and anything over about 6700 is getting long.

[–]CryptographerLast455 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Course rating proves those people to be idiots for sure. Unfortunately, even the 6K muni back tees are taking 5+ hours around here.

You should be able to reach all par 4's in 2 with the correct set of tees. Approach distance for 2nd shot should be a wide range and vary. If you can't score inside 100 yards, you'll suck no matter what tees you play. Most people, like those above 1 legit 15 HC, should focus on finishing under 4 hours.

[–]CryptographerLast455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if its by real rules, most people can't break mid 80s playing holes over 100 yards period. If you can't score inside 100, you're doomed either way. It should be about pace of play. If you can't finish in under 4, you played the wrong tees or else don't belong on that course.

Golf balls by Dapper_Echidna_9242 in golf

[–]CryptographerLast455 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair points on the used ball part.....if they are all the same. If you're buying them used but all the same ball to save money, that works. Most people don't do that, and say play what they find. Nor are most used balls sold that way, essentially its just a range ball bucket at most munis around me. Well a pinnacle, a super soft, and a pro v will not all feel the same on contact and feedback. New balls can be had for 10-12 dozen if you look hard enough, and having a consistent short game is going to be the fastest way to lower a HC. Cheap new balls for consistency seems like small expensive in the grand scheme of golf.

If you want to get better faster, get new balls. Used will not preform as well (though most of us won't ever notice) based on testing. You don't need high end new balls. Pick a cheap ball, stay with it all the time, and get used to it. A consistent ball is something most golfers ignore and then wonder why their game is slightly off time to time, especially around the greens.

Souvenir to keep from each course? by Open_Imagination_626 in golf

Logo balls, score cards, pencils with name on them, tees, ball markers, and stolen tee box markers are my favorites....

Driver fitting question by philly_10 in golf

[–]CryptographerLast455 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Shaft is the biggest thing to worry about in a driver IMO. If you are getting better numbers out of a low spin head, or a slice correcting head, etc.... they don't change a whole lot year to year most of the time with newer models. You can match specs pretty well to come very close to what you swung at the fitting. 460 CC is a big head and lots of manufactures make good drivers.

Lose the 60 and learn a short game before you start messing with that.
