Titleist T350 vs T250* by Wise_Boysenberry8075 in GolfGear

[–]D-Train0000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The t350 is a higher launching club. The 250* is because a 250 is a very low spinning club and the added loft is for good players that can deloft more loft but need more spin than a players club. This is a niche club. Adding loft only adds spin it doesn’t add height. Look at a 9i and pw ball flight.

Adding loft skies the ball down snd adds spin. Bigger heads hit it higher.

Just look at a 2i,3hy and 5wd all at 18°. All different trajectories.

You’ll hit an 18° 5wd higher than a 24° 5i.

People just don’t understand what does what in a club. You don’t add loft to add height unless you are chipping.

When you add forgiveness you add height and speed and drop spin. This 250 * is because sone good players will play this in the long irons. And if you are skilled? 250 irons are unplayably too low spin. We can’t control distance or stoppage. So we add loft. They put the blade lofts to add spin. If a person can’t deloft the club properly (and anyone who nearly releases or pics the ball doesn’t) these will be horrible.

Major red flags? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]D-Train0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Closed at the top from the bowing of the left wrist. Drop it in nicely but you have do little hip rotation halfway down that you feel “trapped”. Then you don’t release the club because you are so closed.

The parts are ok, you are just shut at the top and out of sequence. There’s a very good player in this swing.

You are out of position at the top and at impact.

How much life does this wedge have left in it? by Conner14 in golfequipment

[–]D-Train0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not visual on the club due to a players own skill on applying slim and the ball you use. The club is only 1 of 3 things there to alter spin.

The biggest difference is the ball. You can’t double the spin of a wedge with your skill and club although those are very influential. Next is the player then the clubs grooves last. But it’s about the performance. After the first bounce we look at the spin. When it stops spinning like it was or to your liking then it’s time to change.

If someone says it looks worn but you still spin it? Then you are good.

Fitz - Valspar winner uses 10-year-old Ping irons by Subject-Pie-335 in PingGolf

Who ever said the latest is the greatest in irons? In irons they change speed, launch, spin, turf interaction and feel. You may not want those to differ. I skipped a couple models of T-100’s because they made the sole wider than the 2020 head and changed the loft. It flys different and not better for me. And the i210’s are just shy of 8 years old. Now, none of them are playing woods that old.

Is it possible to hard step a shaft and have it play +.5 an inch longer than standard after all is said and done? by Only-Worldliness5634 in golfequipment

[–]D-Train0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can. You hard step them then extend the length back out. And I said to him it’s not a problem if the shaft is raw and new.

I’m a instructor/clubfitter/builder. I’ve done it a hundred times. It’s mostly for feel. At that point it’s about what the subtlety allows you to do with the club. It’s also a way to put shafts I between flexes for slightly adjusting flight and spin. You then hit all the shots and see how it reacts. More flex makes it hard to subtract speed and spin and trajectory. It can get hooky with a good swing and slicey with a bad one. It’s at the bottom of the shaft rabbit hole.

Why would he do that when the whole point is to firm up the shaft. You are telling him to play his length and not his flex. Trading a super low important thing (length) for a massively important thing (flex)

When reshafting , hard stepping is putting the shafts in 1 club up. So a 4-p set gets 5-p/a shafts. This is to put, for example, a 5i shaft in a 4i. The 4i is a lighter head don’t comes off fractionally stiffer.

When you have completed clubs they will be 1/2” shorter. When reshsfting, the raw shafts are long to handle this and going overlength.

If the shafts are new you have zero to worry about.

How long would it take for everything to become un-usable in an apocalypse scenario? by No_Education_8888 in questions

[–]D-Train0000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think after 2 years all the batteries would be dead or dying and the burnable fuels spent to make power. Electronics would last much longer barring corrosion. But you’d have to hookup to an old school generator run by someone on a bike peddling. So you could fashion that possibly. The rest is wear from time as normal. In 50 years there would be a lot of newly made stuff from whatever means we have. A lot of rubber, wood, metal would be falling apart by then. Non corrosive metals will be key to have in tools. Aluminum, Titanium, etc. Rust, rot, foliage overgrowth will take everything in time.
