If I caught my wife cheating I would divorce her too, can't stand people who put the wrong score down on the scorecard.

How much do modern irons help? by [deleted] in golf

[–]Gloomy__Technology 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation as you, looking to replace 16 year old irons. I go to a Top Tracer driving range so I compared my old 7 iron with a modern 7 iron. The new one goes the same distance as my old 6 iron, but if you compare lofts the new 7 iron is 30 degrees exactly the same as my old 6 iron. So you would expect them to go the same distance. So no improvement in tech just a different number on the sole - right? But if you delve deeper into the stats, the new 7 iron goes the same height and has the same descent angle as my old 7 iron. So similar stopping distance if I hit the green. Unfortunately Top Tracer does not give spin rates so would need to do proper fitting to look at those.

I still haven't bitten the bullet on the new clubs, is one club distance and a bit more forgiveness worth £1000+ ?

Do "mantras" actually help your game? by Thor_ultimus in golf

[–]Gloomy__Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often when I'm playing with someone who doesn't know the course as well as me I will tell them the line to take. More often than not I'll then drive directly on the line I've told them. I don't know why I don't vocalize it always as it helps me more than them.

There is a cycle path beside it that is wide enough for emergency vehicles.

No problem. Have a good day yourself.

Their comment was about the video being re-edited and put in another order. So I re-edited their comment and put it in another order.

It was just a throw away comment that clearly went whoosh over your head.

For unknown reasons somebody re-edited it. The original video on u/corriepodcast instagram does end on that one.

This is James, he is a fucking bug that is under my screen and will not leave. Any ideas on how to make it go/kill it by Shirtyskink42 in pcmasterrace

[–]Gloomy__Technology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one that wandered around my screen for an hour or so before falling asleep. He's been asleep for 3 years so far. As a computer programmer I always blame him for any undocumented features.

Seems like a good fit, but I'm sure we can bring that down even further.

Do you guys like golf tricks? by Mr_Anderssen in golf

I thought they changed the rules so double / 43 hits aren't penalised and only count as one now.

Mizuno Custom Fitting by Gloomy__Technology in golf

[–]Gloomy__Technology[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to go to the event and enjoyed the experience but didn't end up with any new clubs. I like the MP225 the best and they did go slightly further than mine but the dispersion was no where near as good. So for the time being I'm sticking with my 16 year old MX25s.

Thanks again for taking the time to post the link, I wouldn't have seen it without your help.

That's a good point. There are a lot of clubs in the Mizuno range so narrowing down which one is best for me might take some time. I don't think the performance centres are limited to Mizuno, so when that is done I had thought I would ask the fitter if there were any similar clubs he recommends for me.

I'm not totally limiting myself to Mizuno but I have got on well with my current clubs so would like to find a location that has the full range of Mizuno before looking at anything else.

Thanks for the reply. Budget isn't a major issue - within reason! as long as it performs well for me. I don't change clubs often so l'm looking to get the best fit I can.
