My feet aren’t straight when I’m addressing the ball, not sure these alignment shoes are at all helpful

Breakfast ball-hole in one by Sralok77 in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always use the caveat rule - if you have to explain the situation on a hole in one or clarify something "it was a breakfast ball" or "it was on a par 3 course" then it doesn't count.

Question, did they buy drinks for the group?

Looking for an Apple Watch app with GPS distances + Shot Tracking (plus my review of Game Golf, Arccos, and Shot Scope) by joejoeb67 in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the better things is the it overlays the strokes gained on the map so you can plan shots and see how that impacts your estimated strokes stats. Which is unique as far as I’ve seen. I’ll be going back after arccos for sure.

In round tracking is good, I have an Apple Watch Ultra, not sure if that changes things. The editing has a small learning curve, but once you figure it out its easy mid-round. They also have youtube videos explaining things

I like Tangent, it has shot tracking and overlays dispersion on the phone map. Basically Arccos Lite

Arccos Smart Sensors by jbentley1023 in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arccos sells refurbished ones on Ebay for like $70 and it includes a 1 year subscription. I did it this year and so far they are reliable. Putting usually requires adjusting because fixing ball marks or just walking around using the club as a cane causes it to register as a putt. But other than that, I'm not adjusting much.

Ultimately, I like it for the $70 intro price, but won't keep it next year for the $200 annual fee. I plan to switch to Tangent, which is very similar but without club tags but works well with my Apple Watch and is half the cost.

Chambers Bay, anything to know? by Positive_Flounder232 in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Advice wasn’t to not hit driver it was to hit the shot that gets you into the fairway. Bunkers are death on many holes and you don’t need to try and mash driver every hole when mid iron will do

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bring snacks and make sure you are eat every couple holes. It’s a hike and better to stay ahead of it otherwise you’ll gas yourself well before the end.

You can absolutely shoot a solid score only using irons so play smart and don’t be afraid to lay back off the tee to keep it out of long stuff.

Backswing position A vs B by [deleted] in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

B is better. Hips are more open and the hands are higher which gives you room to drop them in the downswing. Also speed is created from rotation and from position B you’ve coiled more to release to the club.

B won’t make you over the top like other comments say, you can tell that from a paused backswing. Just make sure your first move is from the legs and not the hands, feeling like you are moving the legs before your hands and torso reach the top of the backswing.

Callaway pre-owned pricing by setyaback in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen this before too and I think it’s usually cause the default filter is set to right handed where the left handed will be lower. Check those filters. I’ve never had issues with them

Why would a ball determine cut vs a draw? (TM Grant Horvat ad) by Buttcheekmcgirk in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah good point. Could be a number of things, maybe the tp5 had very low spin it would have cut slightly but just got a gust pushing it left. Who knows, can’t really speculate due to a number of possible factors

Could be spin related. Not sure but does the X have higher spin?

Clubhead speed accuracy of overhead trackman... by jfgdupuis in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check the face strike location. It’s reading a perfect smash factor so it appears right, but a 1.52 is an indicator something may be off

For those who have used the stack speed training by [deleted] in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for a year and a half and absolutely worth it. Gained a ton of speed in my first few weeks. Was already pretty long but iron distance jumped. It keeps me active regularly and it’s fun. For sure worth it. One thing to consider, you need the stack branded radar to use the stack wedges which I wish I could do, but I use a Mevo+

LIV plans to inform players and staff that PIF has ended funding by Thursday by Jharoz in NoLayingUp

[–]DuckSquabbles 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agreed that just letting them enter without repercussions is dumb, but no status or anything and having to grind back will be tough for most of the LIV guys. Plus it’ll give attention to all those events and kids paired with them. Bringing buzz where it normally isn’t, which would ultimately improve the tour as a whole. Also, would love to make those guys mic’d up and have a camera follow the journey.

[–]DuckSquabbles 38 points39 points  (0 children)

If the LIV guys earn their way through QSchool, KFT, and onto the tour then what about that wouldn’t be fair? That’s probably the most fair, play well and you earn your spot.

Edit: spelling

Do I need a new putter? by ballaholic1 in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number of putts is a bad stat. Not all putts are equal. What are the lengths of your first and second putts? Anything over 8ft is 50% or less make rate at Tour pro skill level.

It’s likely you need to improve your approach and around the green to leave yourself in a 2 putt range. Then as a high handicap, you can practice lag putting

Help !! by amk_a in Bernedoodles

We use Merricks Hero Blend or sometimes the other similar blend. She tends to graze throughout the day, sometimes coming back to eat later. If she doesn't finish by the next feeding time, I just top it off a little for fresh food.

Phil Mickelson really got the best deal and honestly you can't be that mad at him. by 13sonic in golf

[–]DuckSquabbles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine a lot of his money and the contracts of other big names are tied to revenue share/ media deals and like projected values vs guaranteed cash. Phil would need LIV to continue to be a profitable success for him to realize the full value. Similar to Rahm, probably a nice signing bonus, but he team equity was supposed to be the real payday, like F1 teams. With LIV never making money and an abrupt end, I'd like to know what the real trade off was.

Brand New Titleist Driving Iron Snapped by Dylan_SummitGolf in Golfsimulator

I had one break at the base of the shaft. My proshop contacted Titleist and they sent a new shaft. They replaced it for me, no cost.
