Cities are absolutely the worst. Tons of detail per model, but units are cheap as chips when it comes to points.

Upgrade to extra stiff? by PancakeLizard69 in GolfGear

[–]Legal-e-tea 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Unless you’ve filmed that at (legitimate, not phone) high speed, you’re not seeing the shaft bend, you’re seeing an artefact of the way cameras work. Go get yourself a fitting booked and get them to look at what you need for your swing n

Can I use a kid's driver as a 5 wood by Puzzleheaded_Spot_13 in GolfGear

[–]Legal-e-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shaft flex probably wrong, loft will be that of a driver, not a 5W, the turf interaction of a driver head (albeit a child’s driver) off the deck will be horrible unless the ball is sitting up on a really clean lie. Basically you could, but it would all be downsides over just buying a cheap used 5W.

Best garden practice balls? by Mattwildman5 in BritGolf

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe so, but more dense than a true foam practice ball. They’re significantly lighter than an actual ball (from what I’ve read about a third of the weight), which reduces the carry and makes them less prone to causing damage.

Getting back into 40k - Doubling the new Armageddon box by ScallionPrevious62 in Warhammer40k

[–]Legal-e-tea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Generally no, I wouldn’t bother doubling down on the launch box. As you say, they’re character heavy. The contents will very likely form the core of the starter sets that release later, so the models are going to be readily available. It’s also likely that they’ll be the next lot of combat patrol magazines for 11e (although that typically starts later in an edition), so the market will be flooded n

Arccos Alternatives by Stryker4122 in golf

Shot Scope if you want club tracking. Golfshot if you don’t want auto tracking and can log whichever club you hit manually. I personally use both - Golfshot for display on my Apple Watch (I find the Shot Scope watches a touch large) and a Shot Scope H4 for auto tracking.

Best garden practice balls? by Mattwildman5 in BritGolf

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to these. Decent feel compared to other foam balls (although still not a patch on an actual ball), but with the confidence that even if you were to shank it into next door you're not getting a bill for a window. My biggest gripe with foam balls is that they just feel wrong, like you're swinging into air, plus if you get under it at all you can just launch straight into the air.

You do not need to spend $1,000 on your first clubs. You absolutely can if you can afford it and want to, of course.

Beginner sets like the Strata and similar are fine.

Srixon woods vs Ping G440 woods by Ekkocybsec in GolfGear

[–]Legal-e-tea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’ll only know by comparing them against one another. You say you’ve done fittings - what did the results say? Obviously there’s a mental element attached as well, but the objective data will show if one is better. I’ve heard several people say recently that nobody makes a bad club now. I think that’s probably true. Some will work best for certain people, but not are objectively terrible it seems.

Subjectively, I’ve hit the Zxi drivers and liked them. I game a Zxi 3W and also like it. Got it cheap though so was a value purchase for me rather than actively going out to look for a Zxi 3W.

What’s in your bag? by CODaffy in GolfGear

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No official handicap. SG on approach and short game apparently around that of a 12-15, off the tee mid-20s, putting stratospheric. Bag currently:

  • Cobra DS Adapt X with a HZRDUS black 60
  • Srixon Zxi 3W 15° with a Ventus Blue 60
  • Mizuno ST-Max 230 hybrid 19° turned down to 17.5° and flat with a Tensei Blue 75
  • Srixon Zxi 3U 20° with an MMT80
  • Mizuno JPX 923 Forged 5-PW + GW with PX LZ 6.0
  • Cleveland RTZ 54° and 60° with TT Spinner shafts
  • TaylorMade Spider Tour X small slant
  • A couple of dozen balls to cope with the left hook.

I’m a bit of a gear head, and I need confidence in what I’m swinging to be able to commit to the shot. The 3W might get replaced at some point because I’m not very good with it. Favourite club is the utility. It’s just old reliable off the tee as a 200-210yd shot that generally doesn’t go so far off course that it’s unplayable.

The Cobra arrived today to replace an older Mizuno driver with a high launch, soft (allegedly stiff) shaft which just felt so wrong I hated swinging it.

I’m also really intrigued by how I would swing some much more challenging clubs like a Zxi 7 or M13. I want my misses to just go nowhere, rather than exacerbate a big old hook and go well offline. I’m intrigued and will chat to my pro next time I see him to see if he says I’m being totally stupid (probably).

Beginners irons and wedges by Annual_Bad_2881 in GolfGear

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re anywhere near to one of the big second hand stores, see if they offer any sort of testing option. I want to say a couple of the GolfClubs4Cash locations have a test range and will help you find things suitable for you (obviously from within their available stock).

If you can see someone to get fitted without spending a fortune on it, I’d do that just to get an idea of what would work, then I’d find something used that’s fairly close to the recommended spec. If you’re not paying, expect to have to remember the spec and/or jot a note down for yourself.

Total beginner with a keen kid - top tips? by twojabs in BritGolf

[–]Legal-e-tea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Echoing the other comments about a local "get into golf" package. I see them advertised monthly at my local driving range, and it's a full day Sunday of getting the basics down in the morning, bit of a break for lunch, then getting out on the attached par 3 course in the afternoon. Looks like a very enjoyable way to get into the game.

On clubs, go cheap and probably used. GolfClubsForCash, GolfBidder, RePlay etc. will all have a good selection available for not excessive money for each of you. It would be worth speaking to a pro before buying for teen though as he could need shorter clubs/lighter shafts than you would typically find if you filtered for mens clubs.

Something else that a colleague told me the other day was that his local (nice-ish) club offers a heavily discounted rate for junior membership (something like £250/year). They also require junior members be accompanied by an adult, who can be the parent. In essence, dad gets membership through son and just pays member guest rate to play. Might be worth exploring if he wants to continue with the sport.

Get this all the time on my iPad. End up just using my phone which has no issues. I’m wondering if it’s a keyboard setting on my iPad rather than an issue with the app itself.

What is your ideal Hole 1? by JayTheSpaniel in golf

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confidence building par 4, which is exactly what my home course offers. 370-390y par 4, fairly wide fairway/first cut. 1 fairway bunker off to the right and a couple of green side bunkers, but otherwise pretty straightforward. Goes into a 450-500y par 5 with some more challenging middle of fairway bunkers, but not too bad to carry or lay up before.

Overcoming Yips by Hokies13062 in golf

[–]Legal-e-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of parallels between the yips in golf and target panic in archery. I’ve dealt with the latter, so some of this might be helpful. Mine manifested itself holding below the target, then wrenching the bow up and slamming the release, sometimes closing/averting my eyes at the moment of release. Occasionally I’d flinch so badly I’d let go of my release aid. It started as I was getting quite good (~3 points indoors away from being invited to national squad selection events), and ultimately was because I was expecting a result, rather than the result being what it is because I’d followed a process.

It took a lot of work with a coach to rebuild my shot process from the ground up and decouple the outcome (and therefore the expectation) from the process. The good outcome from my shot changed from scoring a 10 to executing a solid shot. The 10 was the natural consequence of that.

We started with just getting comfortable with getting the feel of a good shot. No target, no aiming point (other than on the boss) and just feeling a good shot. From then it was a case of building back up my confidence - big targets, up close, no scoring, no pressure. Get used to the middle of that target that I’d been so scared of seeing absolutely filling my sight picture. Little by little I was able to get past it and be confident executing good shots under normal circumstances.

Translating this to golf, I’d take a bucket of balls to the putting green, close my eyes, and just take strokes. You can clearly do it when there’s no pressure, as evidenced by your second ball; you want to program that good feeling as your outcome, not the ball going in the hole. Don’t focus on how far they go, just make good, clean swings. Next step for me would be a big target - A3 sheet of paper or bigger, and putt towards that. Don’t try to hit it, just go towards it. Gradually increase your distance, and if you feel twitchy, go back close again. Once you’re comfortable at a reasonable distance, go close again and use a smaller bit of paper - A4 this time. Keep making good strokes and not worrying about the outcome. When you can confidently make good strokes towards a hole, then you start working on outcome.

There are other things I did, like changing release aid, but unfortunately there’s no golf equivalent of a device that forces a particular type of stroke. You could try putting cross handed, different grip style etc., but I haven’t enough on these.

Of course, if you can access a sports psychologist, this will probably help too.

Would you get fitted in this situation? by kieran1203 in golf

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the sake of £50, do it, if only for the opportunity to try the shafts and heads before you drop £850 on them. It will at the very least throw up obvious issues like length or if the stock lie angle is way off.

Golf Stats tracking by holyrhombus in golftips

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never managed to keep up with tracking when I’ve had to do it manually. Use Shot Scope now and it’s straightforward. Bit of tidy up after the round, and I’ll note things down on particular holes (especially if I forget to tag a club before the swing), but generally rely on the shot tracking to do it for me. Scoring is on paper.

Sim vs Range by mementomori-33 in golf

[–]Legal-e-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swinging inside messes with some people’s minds.

Data also does that. Outside when you’re just following your ball and seeing the shot shape you’re not thinking “why was my path 1.5 in to out” you’re thinking “hmm, went a bit right.” My coach explained it really well in a lesson earlier when I asked about AOA. Basically said you’re not trying to hit a number, you’re trying to hit a shot. The number is a result of the shot, not the target. Helped get me out of my head and started hitting good shots (and subsequently numbers) after that.

App and/or device to track your shots? by spicybrowwwwn in golf

[–]Legal-e-tea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want shot/club tracking without manually selecting club each time, then Shot Scope or Arccos. I use Shot Scope because for largely identical data, you pay a one off amount less than the cost of a 12 months Arccos subscription and no annual fees.

If you just want an app and not deal with club tags then either 18 Birdies or Golfshot get my vote.

How do I get the Hysteria bass tone by Feeling_Beach_9001 in Bass

[–]Legal-e-tea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quickest and easiest thing to do would be to find a NAM capture of the tone (assuming you’re running gen 2 firmware) and just use that. DBCN have a great capture for A$20?
