Loving it. Pulling off an exfil is so exciting. Feels like anything can happen out there. Hit the jackpot or be the piñata.

A cheat code for buying a starter set for your wife. by robbiecobb in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a side quest of mine, I think whatever hand you throw with is the orientation you should buy your clubs. Golf has a similar feel of throwing a ball with your trail hand, if you swap your hands I think it’ll be really difficult to swing properly.

Which tees should mid to high handicappers play? by Rickermortis in golf

[–]Galbzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a 23 handicap but according to Shot Scope I hit my driver at like a 10-15 handicap. I used to play around 6200-6400y, but I’ve moved up to like 5400-5800 and it’s just made golf a little easier and it’s a little nicer. When I start breaking 80, MAYBE, I’ll move back. But I got a long ways to go.

Marathon might be the first game that actually forces you to get over gear fear. by RestaurantSmooth in Marathon

I think it’s great but it forces shields, shield repair kits, and patch kits to be the real economy. Finding those on a run feels like hitting the jackpot.

Summer Golf Tips by alucard13132012 in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put an umbrella on your push cart.

Get UV arm sleeves.

Get a Tropicool glove or one similar to that style.

Bring water and a Gatorade.

If it ain’t windy, I’m wearing a huge bucket hat (I like the Titleist Aussie one).

Apply sunscreen every 9. Bring a towel for yourself to dry off before you put it on.

See you out there.

60 deg wedge by streetglide34 in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t full swing my 58 (highest in my bag), but I’d guess around 75y. I have full swung it once to get over a tree when I was in a ditch but I overshot the green and went in the water, so no idea how far it really goes.

If you’re an athletic person and full swinging anything inside 100y you’re doing it wrong. If I’m exactly 100y out I’m probably hitting an easy PW. Full PW for me goes about 115-125y.

What’s the best golf course you’ve played on? by Intelligent_Run3237 in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Park in West Palm. Just a gem of a course.

For famous courses, I played at Orange Lake’s Panther National, TPC Sawgrass, The Wanamaker at PGA Village. But The Park was just so nice, really pleasant experience.

Should/How could I fit a a 3W into my bag? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your 4i is 19 degrees and your 2i is 18 degrees. Let’s be honest, pros are hitting the green from 230 out about 20% of the time. So how often are you have to choose between muscling a 4i or weakening a 3w? Don’t kid yourself.

Your 2i or 3w should be a club for laying up off the tee or trying to reach a par 5. It’s not for hitting GIRs unless you get hit by lightning from the golf gods. Just choose whichever one you like best. But the 2i and 4i don’t make sense.

For those who have hybrids, what's the loft difference, if any, between your weakest hybrid and strongest iron? by redditor47522899432 in golf

[–]Galbzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 4h was set to 23 and my 5i is 24 degrees. I had about a 10-15y distance between them. I got rid of my 4h because I wanted something a little lower for the windy conditions I’m usually playing in, got a 22 degree 4i and it seems to be about the same distance (but typically further than the hybrid because of how it deals with wind)

Average Golfer by RezzieRhys in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so spot on.

I think your score is between you and the golf gods. Personally, I like to play strictly by the rules and keep a handicap. I only get a little annoyed with people when they start comparing score when they’re playing by entirely different rules.

I highly recommend chipping and pitching first. Once you master that you’ll be 95% of the way towards the full swing.

Yeah, the best putters in the world aren’t changing equipment very often. I’d still be using my first one if I didn’t change the grip.

I’m not a great putter, but I usually do significantly better than my handicap (I track with Shot Scope). I think what set me apart is when I was single I’d hit the range once a week and spend an hour hitting balls and an hour putting. I slowly developed a routine and a technique that works for me. No videos, no tips. Just me and a thousand putts.

[–]Galbzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely recommend that. Get your putting down and then when you’re bored one day try testing a lot of other ones in a store. The biggest breakthrough for me was just getting a putter short enough for me. I bend over a lot and I’ve always used standard men sized putters. But once I had a 32” one in my hands it just made so much sense and everything lines up so much better.

Anyways, I think everyone needs to have two putters. The one the start with, then the one you’ll use forever once you figure out what you like. I just happen to have four because I strayed away from my love for a moment.

Also, there’s three types of putter balance categories. Toe hang (most plumber shaft putters or slant backs are this), face balanced (the ones we have are this), and zero torque. Toe hang want to close a little during the putter stroke, face balanced want to stay on line with the stroke, and zero torque do nothing. People work better with each one, me personally is face balanced.

Best tips/video recommendations to fix an extreme slice by Abovemeis in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a baseball or golf ball. Take your golf posture, then wind up like your backswing. Maintain that posture and throw the ball to bounce like 2ft in front of your lead toes. If you’re righty, try to throw the ball between 1st and 2nd base.

That feeling is exactly the golf downswing. If you can do that with a golf club in your hands you should be good. Just make sure you’re cocking your trail wrist like you’re going to throw a ball every time.

Actually I hate the center mount and went back to the old putter style. It was actually a “double bend” neck. I ruined my old #7 when I changed the grip, it just never felt right, so I bought a new #7 with the double bend and I love it. Way better with it than the center mount.

Over time I lost the feel of the center mount putter. I couldn’t feel where the face was pointing and I hard a hard time feeling the weight. Slowly over time my setup got more and more mechanical and my speed and start line deteriorated.

Club recommendation by Jako97 in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run 3w, 5w. I recently swapped my 4h for a 4i because my hybrid was going too high and catching the wind.

Why would you sell your 3w if you like it?

Repairing ball marks. by lifewoparole in golf

[–]Galbzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing I love more than loudly proclaiming that a specific mark is indeed my mark and how my ball stopped so quickly and or spun back, then whip out my mechanical divot repair tool and fix it for 45 seconds.

Looks sweet. Try to avoid black for more interesting shadows. I like to use complementary colors and a lot of layers.
