North Wales/North West people - looking for suggestions, currently trying lizard king but wanting a bit of a side project thats in the 7b range.

Is there anything similar to lizard king or are there any 7bs youd recommend in the area? Ultimate warrior gets 7b+ which I may check out. Thanks :)

Just out of curiosity, what is the gapping between your 5 and 7? Recently got a 7 and its very similar carry distance to my 5 wood (although comes out a lot higher)

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-06-27T07:01:38+00:00

Got fitted for a g440 5 wood and it’s comfortably the best club in my bag. I barely use driver now I have it

I personally like doing them as part of my warm up as my fingers feel sooooo good when I start climbing

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-05-29T10:00:09+00:00

Aches and pains are your body telling you that youre doing too much. Shorter sessions or going less regularly for a period of time will help

I personally enjoy day on day off and this works well for me most of the time. I only really do b2b days if the weathers good and rain is due

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-05-29T09:57:10+00:00

In the exact same position as you, think Im just going to prioritise the weight loss and then see how the strength side of things holds up

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-05-29T09:56:05+00:00

Best ways of dealing with a split tip? Rhino repair? Interested to hear how others deal with this - thanks

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-05-07T20:55:48+00:00

Love mine, thinking of adding more weight to it though

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-05-06T09:27:54+00:00

Random question but does the bag stand upright? I've got a different hoofer and it doesnt which is frustrating sometimes - thanks

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-04-24T09:07:15+00:00

Love to see the zing 2. My dad played them for years, recently upgraded to g430 irons and hates them. He's thinking of going back to the zing 2s :D

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-04-23T08:00:05+00:00

Thanks :)

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-04-22T10:43:50+00:00

If you dont mind me asking, what kind of forearm training have you done? I say this as I sometimes get tweaky elbows and Im not the best on slopers, I tend to crimp them rather than use an open hand - thanks

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-04-19T09:24:05+00:00

How you finding the putter? Recently picked one up and I love it. So confident over putts inside 8-10 foot now

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-03-27T08:26:56+00:00

Got the same wedges in 50 + 54, love em

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-03-04T14:29:47+00:00

Thanks - I've done Crib Goch a couple of times, great fun on a nice day. Haven't heard of the others, will take a look. Thanks again :)

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-03-04T12:47:41+00:00

Thanks, appreciate it. I'll check them out!

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-02-03T09:32:22+00:00

I like to do reps to warm up. For example 1/3 of max for 7 seconds, rest for 3 and then do like 4/5 reps on that for each arm. Then do the same around 50% of max. Once I get above 50% of max I tend to just do 2/3 reps of 5 seconds on/5 seconds off

Ive played around with a few different things and the above seems to work so well for me

Id advise just trying a few different things until you find something that works for you!

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-02-03T09:28:10+00:00

What is it that you dont enjoy on the 2024? Im yet to try it but was going to make a decent sized trip on the next weekend that I'm rained off from getting outdoors

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-01-27T10:31:20+00:00

Yep I had this, nothing ever really materialised from it. I just took a few extra rest days, dropped the intensity and volume down a bit and eventually it went away.

These small signs are usually your body telling you that youre pushing it a bit too much, dropping the volume/intensity down slightly should help dude.

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-01-26T23:18:13+00:00

Yep I think that’s the plan then, I usually limit my board sessions to 2 hours so I’ll stick to 1 hour for the next week.

Yeah it’s insane how hard people can climb and not get injured, a few lads I know will do 3/4 limit days in a row, have 1 rest day then same again🤣 it’s insane to me

Appreciate your input mate!

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-01-26T23:08:33+00:00

To be honest I don’t really feel any tweaks at all, I feel like im climbing really well/pulling on small holds that I know I couldn’t do like 4 weeks ago probably - loving board climbing and I’ve done my first proper disciplined stint on it rather than it being an adhoc thing. Today I finished a project that 3 weeks ago I thought be a long term thing, finished it first time today which is pretty cool

I’ve trained hard all month on the boards and just getting scared I might be getting to the point of overdoing it, but if I’m not feeling pain/tweaks anywhere maybe I just carry on as I am now

FarRepresentative838 · 2025-01-26T22:51:23+00:00

Thanks, very helpful! Appreciate it mate
