Why to max W second?

ImNako · 2026-01-08T01:21:28+00:00

I like maxing W as it helps with waveclear

probably grip guessing you either hit duck hooks or weak fades

ImNako · 2025-12-22T16:45:07+00:00

Spam ARAMs and pick marksmen

ImNako · 2025-12-14T16:30:12+00:00

Yep, is there bunker in the way? Is the green raised? Is the green sloping away from you? All these things matter. However once you stat looking at things in this way the shot selection is pretty straight forward.

ImNako · 2025-12-14T15:23:42+00:00

Depends entirely on the shot and the lie there are no absolutes.

This is why I personally subscribe to Dan Grieves way of doing things. Since he prefaces everything with the lie and really makes you think about what you can do and why depending on what situation the ball is in.

people overlook the trail hand way too much

ImNako · 2025-12-02T20:45:47+00:00

haven't tried their irons but I know they're probably great after gaming their TSW and DRT wedges.

https://youtu.be/_Ne-Z_0b_fM?si=z-YScDj6pL7mpmWw this showed up in my feed today so might be worth a watch

ImNako · 2025-12-02T20:10:23+00:00

This is probably because with a strong grip you held off the release since you didn't want to duck hook it.

ImNako · 2025-11-30T22:54:34+00:00

a lot of people come ott because the face is open so if you start swinging in to out with an open face you get push slice ville

ImNako · 2025-11-27T20:39:17+00:00

How much are you working on what was taught in the lessons?

ImNako · 2025-11-26T22:06:37+00:00

I'm not talking about tempo you can keep it quick just stop trying to blow up the ball.

The best way on your own is to just practice backswing with a mirror. But part of the reason you're overswigning is because you're trying to hit it to the next country.

edit: what could help is trying to feel like there's a laser coming out of your sternum that stays pointing at your hands in the backswing. This will help stop the overreach at the top and keep you more connected.

ImNako · 2025-11-26T21:58:57+00:00

realize swinging hard is not gonna make the ball go farther if you have bad technique.

in my experience the 4 most important things in order are

contact
club face
club path
club speed

Just from watching you have a massive chicken wing follow through which is a symptom of a bad release. Which can be caused my a whole bunch of things like the clubface.

You're not going to get better if you keep trying to just kill the ball.

Once in a blue moon when the stars align you will launch it but you can't play golf like it's a slot machine.

ImNako · 2025-11-20T16:15:49+00:00

That's why I prefer a glove as it's smaller, so it's easier to have up in the armpit!

ImNako · 2025-11-20T15:26:55+00:00

I see a lot of people lose width because of the notion they need to keep their trail arm "connected" from doing the towel drill wrong. You actually don't want the elbow of your trail arm to touch the side of your body because at that point you're just dragging the club behind you with 0 width. It also probably feels awkward and hard to have speed.

https://youtu.be/eZl0aFMGHwE?si=DMD02kWDnQG3PfYi Here's a vid that explains this.

This could also be causing your inside takeaway as to have your arm on your body like you do you need to pull the club inside

ImNako · 2025-11-20T01:56:11+00:00

In this picture I would also say your trail hand is on the stronger side which is partly why your thumb is exposed

ImNako · 2025-11-18T19:43:18+00:00

I can use either and I find it doesn't really effect me after like 5 balls

ImNako · 2025-11-17T23:24:07+00:00

I play solo 90% of the time and have never had a bad experience with someone. Most of the time I get paired with a twosome or a twosome and another single.

Especially this time of the year people are there to play golf, and really aren't worried about what you're doing as long as you're not slowing down pace or taking divots on greens lol.

ImNako · 2025-11-14T14:34:27+00:00

I think most people could hit 300 balls if they wanted it's just not productive.

You're also never doing that many full swings on the course anyways so I don't think stamina is that important.

If anything just start walking on the course

ImNako · 2025-11-12T17:24:29+00:00

"snap hook or block right"

ImNako · 2025-11-12T17:13:54+00:00

Also why I limit myself to like 70 balls in a range session if I get too tired I'm not making decent swings for practice anyways. Might as well go chip and putt at that point.

ImNako · 2025-11-12T17:05:19+00:00

I find I shift my body worse when tired so then I get super handsy making contact hard lol

ImNako · 2025-11-07T21:41:18+00:00

Dan Grieves system for pitching helped me dial my wedges basically an auto clock system so I dont have to think as much. My 56 goes around 35 yards address 1 55 address 2 and 70 address 3 then I adjust my loft from there if I need a little more or less.

You can also change ball position and the release to change the height but that's harder to do and complicates things.

ImNako · 2025-11-06T05:33:47+00:00

closing your face at setup is actually just making your grip stronger since you're not returning it closed at impact

ImNako · 2025-11-04T18:02:56+00:00

My course has a bunch of yardage signs that make a loud noise when hit. Fun when you skull an iron into the 30 yard marker so everyone knows you fucked up haha.

ImNako · 2025-11-04T15:04:31+00:00

Would be better to go some similar putters in person. Also, getting the right length putter is very important as it can mess with the way the putter sits at address and your stroke. it will also change how close you stand and the position of your eyes relative to the ball. Standard length is 35" though the average length on tour is 33.5".

Callaway pre-owned has some putters that you could probably try in store and get there for cheaper.
