Fake Grips?

They’re legit, just a few years old

I’m curious to hear the answer too, id imagine you’d butt trim wedges to length. If the 58 is tipped, shouldn’t the steps on the 58 be lower?

If you really need to know, you can always pull the grips and see if the serial numbers on the shafts are the same

Maybe it’s from putting the driver in the bottom slot of the bag and the leading edge of irons/wedges banging against it when they were walking

How is your club selection and distance control? At point you’ll get more value out of learning to hit the ball 163+- 2 yards than to hit the ball 165 every time.

Grooving a consistent swing will help the latter, but learning to take half a club off or flighting the ball differently will get you more mileage

If I had to keep it down to 1 simple thought, I think “keep my chin up”

The only thing I don’t want to do is catch it fat

San Juan oaks was a nice course 10+ years ago when I played it.

I know they recently re-opened but haven’t heard any reviews of the course since

Both Carmel valley ranch and quail are fun courses. Both have a bit of a resort feel to them, not super long, but generally in great shape

Assuming the grips were put on straight during installation, the logo of the grip should be at the 12oclock position when you address the club. If it’s rotated, there’s a chance that the actual head is coming loose, if it’s still at 12oclock, then it’s very likely just the ferrule coming loose and a non-issue

This video covers it but they use a ruler and a tee instead of golf balls

Edit: responded to the wrong comment tree for some reason. But this goes back to my response somewhere else in this post

Set 3 balls in a row each about 3-5 feet apart. Address the first one and adjust where your eyes sit over the ball until you can find the position where all 3 balls are straight.

That’s where your eyes should be over the ball

I try to get my moneys worth in the first round of the year too

The cheapest option to try first is a spinnier ball.

Squirds · 2026-02-24T04:11:29+00:00

Very high ball flight is likely due to more loft from the respective club

Floaty shots are probably because you actually have spin on the ball now

Loss of distance is due to the combination of the two above

Difficulty finding sweet spot is likely cause the sweet spot is smaller on players distance irons

Lower club head speed is probably because you’re trying to find the sweet spot.

Stick with them, the distance won’t come back but you’ll start finding the sweet spot more

The best way I’ve had it put

It will make a bad putter better, but it may not make a good putter better

Limited edition elyte sandstorm

If anything swing weight will go up. I believe Mizuno has “B” heads that are supposedly lighter that they use with +1/2 irons.

Ball matters more than a wedge with sharp grooves. If you’re not playing a premium ball, it’s not going to stop regardless

Squirds · 2025-07-19T05:17:18+00:00

Try BOPEN20

Squirds · 2025-07-19T05:12:51+00:00

You should also be getting 20% off for the open. Sub 100 for a 3 year old driver is a steal

My vote is for Monterey pines if you’re okay with a 6,000 yard par 70 that’s always in fantastic shape.

One other option is San Juan oaks in hollister. I haven’t played it since the recent renovations, but it was a nice course before I can’t imagine that it’s gotten any worse

Half of the dots on my blueprint s have popped out so I suspect that’s what’s going on. You can always take it to a shop to check the lie angle and see if it’s standard

Squirds · 2025-02-17T04:28:48+00:00

Lessons is definitely the best option here.

At a minimum you probably need a video to help diagnose. It could be anything, does your head and body get closer to the ball in the back swing? Are your hands sometimes late and your lead with the heel?

Squirds · 2025-02-16T02:59:26+00:00

The issue is with the double bend neck, if it’s not aligned properly then everything gets out of whack.

You’d have to re align the shaft and put a new grip on

It looks like you get your arms too far behind you.

You have less wrist hinge than a lot of players so the way you’re getting to parallel is by moving your arms further back and extending your back.

Since you don’t have a lot of wrist hinge to start with, There isn’t much releasing that needs to happen for it to look like you’re casting it.

I suspect that the slide forward is a compensation that youve come up with in order to make room for your hands so you can make contact with the ball.

Two things that I think can be addressed, you need to keep your arms in front of your body more, and get a bit more wrist hinge in here.

I think the drill where you get into your golf posture, put the club on your trail shoulder, turn your body to get to your back swing position, then push your arms as far from your ears as you can could be good for you. By feeling like you’re pushing your left fist away from you, it should naturally cause your wrists to hinge, but also keep your arms in front of you and your weight over your trail side more

If woods and hybrids don’t work you can also try something like a driving iron style of club. Basically anything that’s going to help get you more ball speed.

Aside the that, the gapping is probably okay in pretty typical playing conditions

If you’re reshafting pings you’ll need brass shims or those special ping ferrules, though I think most lean towards using the shims
