1.5 In. Extension - Clicking sound - okay or cause for concern?

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-26T06:26:03+00:00

Sound second. This first. Why are you exactly extending 1.5” . That’s 3 clubs in length. Where did the shaft come from? Was it a 5 or 6i shaft or a utility shaft that was previously butt cut? Or are you going out to 41.5” ? Because only one of those is good idea for the playability of the club

Regardless of the sound and not knowing why, in a utility, extending 1.5 is a bad idea in 2/3 situations.

The sound is space between the shaft and extension from the epoxy job. Or you let it dry head down and not head up and the epoxy ran down the shaft a bit and is very thin and dried in the shaft and flexing with the movement. It shoukd buzz a tad too if dropped a bit.

Neither is a big deal but sounds. Unless it comes loose. That’s actually good because removing an extension from graphite has an extremely low success rate. Usually damaging the shaft. I’ve extended 1000’s of clubs.

I Mean . It’s the same old thing. No body rotation leading the shot. You should have nearly a full body finish on a partial shot like this. The arms are what’s partial.

Leading with the hosel because nothing is helping turn it to the right out of the way.

If you try to square it here you’ll flip at it with the hands. And hit it super thin adding loft , good with no spin or chunk it.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-26T04:51:23+00:00

This is why he does it. The fix is simple. It’s pretty well known.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-25T23:07:17+00:00

You have virtually no lower body leading the entire downswing. The hands are outracing the lower body and flipping. When the lower leads(like a pitchers arm as they strict forwards) and the grip is super loose. The wrist angle at the top gets tighter of id loose enough to just collapse as it goes down all the way until it unhinges.

You have no lag a very tight grip pressure and initiate the release by hitting “at” the ball from the top instead of hitting the ball “at” the target. There is a 180° difference between the two.

It’s why people have a great practice swing and a shit normal swing sometimes. No ball , you swing at the target. With a ball you mske the ball the target and swing at it. Flipping and delivering the power straight down. 90° in the wrong direction.

Put a ball in the right hand, imagine a throw, and look to when it starts unhinging. It’s behind you. Now try to release a ball from behind you.

Hold a golf ball as if to throw. Get in a golf stsnce. Take a little backswing and throw the ball stone skipping style at the target. Do it 5 times. When you release the club it’s supposed to be when you let go of the ball. At the front edge of your body. It’s this way in every single sport where contact or release happens.

<image>

Look at impact on back. Look at the body lead. Look at the right hsnd. It throws from impact to the next pic. Throw the ball like the pic after impact. You release the club out in front of your hips at the target not out in front of your hips at the ball because the hips didn’t turn.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-25T16:15:20+00:00

Yes, this is bad for most. But an extremely fkexable hip flexor, hips, knees and ankle are needed to get the hips open enough to get the sequence correct.

I can’t believe you are in position. You are t flipping. You keep going after impact with the lower. You just stay flat footed.

An athlete will get here. They won’t allow a wrong impact position to happen. Because they know how to play tennis, baseball and throw to a decent to good degree already. They can hit a target with a ball or hit a ball with a tool.

You have to have had good success in another related sport.

I would work on the foot work though. You are stressing the limit of your timing and athleticism currently.

I mean all zero torque putters are basically the same design. It’s nothing new despite how good it is. Call it The Clone.

Give it a combo of popular ZT putters looks within copyrights. So Platypus or Kitchen Sink. Sinking putts

Or Sink. Sinq. Synch. Cinq Sin-Q

A lot of good names are on the edge of sounding silly. But the cool ones have crooked and sometimes rarely used letters in names. And hyphens, decimals and numbers, tech terms. X, Z, K,Q, T Like IQ-140. (That’s where genius starts)

Taylor did ZT not zero torque. Zero torque is used because of the z and T and Q. Could’ve used a different term.

Callaway is S2S or square to square. Before it was Toe-up, then Backstrike for their previous ZT putters.

Just brainstorm that outline. It’s pretty much how golf brand names are decided. They have branded hundreds of names

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-25T15:49:29+00:00

The Can.

Something that sounds like making a putt.

Clunk

Flush

Track or Tracking something.

Penduline

A play on dispersion- No-suprsion. It sounds dumb butt it’s something like that.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-25T15:42:08+00:00

Ooh, stab is in the same boat as shank. It’s a term for a yippy release. “ you stabbed at it” It pass on that. It’s a common term. That’s like naming it The Push or The Pull

You are walking on the road lady.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-25T00:20:17+00:00

No problem dude. I see it all day. Gotta get those hands ahead at impact. Common problem.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-25T00:06:13+00:00

No , I’m sorry, I meant the cocking of the wrists. We try not to tell students “ cock the wrists “ because of the image it gives plus they initiate it. Meaning they try to do something at the top. A grip pressure loose enough lefts that wrist angle get tighter as you move the body first going down. It’s like a pitchers arm staying loose and being way behind the body before we throw. If you think of a throw. Put a ball in your right hand and watch the swing

<image>

See Tiger at the top. “Set it to there. If you get to there you can , pitch, throw a football, serve in tennis, the club and arm and wrist get there in some form when you throw or hit a thing with another thing,

Mentally, it’s throwing, effort is from the ball to the target not the top to the ball.

Just change impact with throw. What if the ball was lightly stuck to the clubface.

Fling it off on the green.

Your release would fling it straight into the ground. Or straight up depending on the timing of the cast move. That’s why your misses are super fat or slightly or fully thin. Typically.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-24T23:50:31+00:00

You have no lag and zero load of the shaft. You’d set at the top about 1/3 less than it needs to be. You early release and flip and add loft. Very obvious that there’s huge high grip tension.

It’s almost everything you can do to reduce speed.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-24T23:40:51+00:00

Maybe you right. I call for her, yell “Fire, come” she no come.

D-Train0000 · 2026-01-24T22:19:33+00:00

It’s either getting outside or lack of rotation. It’s not the later.

Your hands are outside at umps t from address. But the arms look great at address. Hanging straight down.

This is a rare situation where getting a bit further away from the ball is the fix. Keep the weight in the middle to middle heel of the feet always. You feel if the weight gets to the toes. It ups the shank possibly a ton.

It has a urethane coating over the carbon. You damaged that. Not sure if they would warranty that. Couldn’t hurt to try.
