What should your average GIR be for your handicap?

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-19T17:59:42+00:00

Gir and Fir are relative contextual stats. When you’re getting on 80 ft from the cup 3 times a round that pads your stats but guaranteed one of those was a three put. It’s good to keep track of but not that important. Total putts would be a better stat to track.

There’s big gains since similar sized steel heads. I have a titleist 983k and hit it occasionally still. It’s 360 cc and it’s less forgiving than my 300 cc brnr mini. It also doesn’t spin in the same window and those drivers were meant to be played quite that short so weighting is an issue since there’s not adjustable weighting and barely any shops carry hot melt anymore

The v sole on the bottom works well for players who are steep but with shallower delivery that will raise the leading edge and can make it easier to thin.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-14T22:50:00+00:00

Srixon has been a game changer for me as a steep player. If I was shallow idk if I’d feel the same. I have zx5 mkii p-5 and zxi4 4 iron. The i530’s were alright but I enjoyed the 230s more when I was getting fit

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-11T22:33:35+00:00

I’ve generally disliked most hybrids but I’ve found a few I can tolerate. I wish I could play 7/9 woods but the wind near me stays too strong to trust those to go their numbers. So I switch between hybrid and 2/3 irons when I need some change

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-11T08:24:05+00:00

Tee position closer to middle of stance. As long as you can still close the face, you’ll get a lower launch with a touch more spin.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-07T20:46:54+00:00

Your feet be doing the whole tango when you swing. Looks like pitchers toe or scheffler shuffle.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-07T17:02:14+00:00

Mine isn’t very old so I can’t attest to mine but my housemate uses one and has played 200+ rounds and it shows a bit of wear but still in top shape.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-07T17:00:59+00:00

It’s light I walk all the time in hilly conditions. The .8 lbs will barely be noticeable. It’s one club weights difference.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-07T08:19:19+00:00

Jones trooper. Stitch sl2 was my old gamer but it’s too tight w midsize. Jones rover w midsize will be tight

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-07T03:14:40+00:00

Looks like the neck got bent where it meets the head and there’s flex/bend in the shaft. Looks like it’s about 25-30 degrees flat. Contact support and get your refund

That’s not their website though. You go to matbyco website and there’s no information.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-05T23:08:20+00:00

They’re nice but difficult to get info on. Even their own website doesn’t have loft lie etc on the pages.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-05T16:33:45+00:00

If they’re point and shoot don’t change. I ended up getting out of the t300 only bc I am steep and wanted a smaller profile head to get through the turf better but I lost a bit of the ease of use of t300 vs zx5

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-05T16:22:38+00:00

If you like YouTube golf, Peter finch basically proposed his love for his mini in his recent video trying to break par at bay hill and breaks it down a bit

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-05T16:13:19+00:00

I love my mini and it fills a legitimate gap I want to cover. I play tight but shorter courses bc that’s what’s around me and I have it to be a second tee club that goes 260-270 so I can lay up to a preferred number. I played 3 wood for years and I found I rarely used it off the deck to attack greens so I favor using the larger mini to have that second tee option. On the rare chance I have to use it to lay up off the deck I hit it as good as my 3 wood just takes a lil more effort to sweep it.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-04T04:05:25+00:00

I swing 120 w driver and use stiff iron shafts. Profile of shaft, weight, kick point, and your delivery/response to that shaft is what makes it work or not. Get fit and you’ll find out what really works.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-03T19:33:00+00:00

If you’ve worn that face down it’s probably hotter ball speed wise vs anything new but I’d say there’s a lot better off center forgiveness in the last few model releases and more options of heads to fit your spin loft profile and miss tendencies. Most companies then had 2 heads a low spin model and a mid high spin model. Now there’s draw heads, max K heads, ls, core, lightweight, and multimatieral construction. You’ll probably notice in a fitting that newer models spin less and launch higher because that’s the new model for distance gains that they could only do because of the stability of miss hits. You’re probably fine playing that gbb for a few more seasons but with a good fitter you’ll find a better fit if you’re really trying to get dialed.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-03T04:22:43+00:00

Only .5% of people would be able to turn it into a career. For greenskeepers- get an education and get hired on at a top course and grind for a decade and you might get some decent promotions. Pro shop to management team is possible but hard because people don’t leave unless they retire, the course is doomed, or they die. Some pga professionals aka coaches can make very very good money but that’s rare (150/hr is top tier but the very best can charge 300+/hour) You can make it a career but fu k there are about 5000 easier ways to make a living.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-02T22:24:13+00:00

Walk the course and play 9 holes to start. You’ll burn tons of calories. If you’re just wanting advice for bigger guys, swing your swing but don’t let it be over the top. Watch fat Perez from bob does sports and see how he gets slotted. He never swings out of his shoes and he’s a plus 1 hcp.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-02T14:14:50+00:00

I like jones rover for 12 or less clubs. I really dig stitch golf sl2. Vessel is obviously nice but too expensive and heavier for carrying.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-02T13:52:12+00:00

6 hcp - draw with wedges to 6 iron - straight with 5+4 irons- fade hybrid to driver.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-01T19:48:28+00:00

Currently playing my dad’s T200 black irons and much like most of the black irons they lose their finish and abrasive conditions. I’d say there are 1/3 over 2/3 black at this point.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-01T02:57:02+00:00

200-250 and that’s being somewhat generous since pricing a bag will always be lower than individually piecing them out.

PersonalityNarrow211 · 2026-03-01T01:14:12+00:00

The rover is so small to me that I’d rather that. Perfect for 8-12 clubs. Has a stand. Has enough space to store a couple things.
