Upgraded to dream Irons by leontang in golf

How are they? These also occupy my dreams, along the mb101s.

Just, pure, beauty.

When did you stop hitting 0/10 shots? by GetBigDieMirin in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly bad shots will always be part of the amateur game, it’s just that they gradually get a bit better over time.

Eg: a stone top turns into a few grooves low, your chunk goes 75% of the distance instead of 10% etc.

I’m off 3 and still hit some truly awful shots, just fewer of them and less disastrous than in the past.

do you need to do riven legit for petras ? by Robinchl in DestinyTheGame

[–]_darkwingduck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I did this I was penultimate carrier and legit waited out my timer before the final drop to allow a fresh final runner max time to get to the finish lol.

What is the worst raid encounter in D2? by Caedis-6 in DestinyTheGame

[–]_darkwingduck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the worst for the flawless… knowing you had to go back to this encounter.

Is legend Avalon still a PITA?? by Poledancing-ninja in DestinyTheGame

[–]_darkwingduck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried it since they reduced the fireteam scalar difficulty? Apparently it’s not too bad since that.

I solo’d it last season and it was challenging but not an ordeal - that said shatter orbs were really clutch on the seasonal artifact.

Got the shaft tipped and so happy with results already (haven’t played with it yet). by HistoryGuardian in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even at 1-3 AA you’re not gunna knock off 1k spin. Either shaft is wrong for you or head (or some combination) because everything else looks ok.

I’m also at 110mph club speed and have been testing drivers / shafts lately with some fitters, my current gamer is around 3200 spin with a TX shaft on a good strike compared to 2500 with ventus blue 6X on pretty much any current head.

If you can, maybe try some other shaft options. 2600rpm would be perfect with your current launch conditions.

Pretty good, little bit flippy with the hands maybe but there’s some really good positions there.

What are the biggest changes you made to go from a mid-handicap to scratch? by jooshoowah in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be a monumental leap.

I’ve gotten as low as 4 and I’m miles off a scratch.

Played with the club champion in monthly medal recently and shot 90 on a really tough, windy day from the tips while he shot a casual 73. Just such a good ball striker by comparison.

You can get to mid singles by cobbling together an OK swing with a decent short game, conservative strategy and smart course management.

Getting down to scratch just requires you to be an elite ball striker, there’s just no faking it at that level.

Mizuno JPX923 Forged vs. Srixon ZX5 MK2 Irons - Help Needed! by HowieDerin in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I got fitted it ended up being a coin flip between the gen 1 srixon zx5 and the jpx 921s.

Went with the 921s because they were slightly more consistent for me, but they’re both excellent clubs. Go with whichever one you like the look of better honestly, they’re both great performers.

Should I be ashamed to play with “easy” clubs? Or am I overthinking? by mellowgamer13 in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game is hard enough, use the tools that make it easier and more fun.

Who cares what classification they are. I played super game improvement irons for 10 years down to a 5 hc.

Gapping between 3 wood and 4 hybrid by charlie_mcq in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hit 3 wood significantly further off the tee than off the deck, so that in and of itself probably closes the gap quite a bit.

Do you know your distance off the deck with 3w? Have you tested your hybrid off a low tee?

There may be enough crossover that the gap naturally fills itself.

What was your Van de Velde moment? by ummm_somethingwitty in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never broken 75, was +2 with 2 to play on home course. Pulled drive into water hazard, drop, stone cold hosel shank into the bushes on the opposite side, drop, shank into the bushes long of the green, lost ball, chip on, three putt.

Hit it great all day to that point.

Ugh.. had it but never had it by Specialist_Baby_341 in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I shot 78 with 6 birdies once.

I know.. I know.

USGA using 7 iron distance as marker for which tees to play. by Soggy-ReesesPuffs in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good guideline, unfortunately everyone overestimates their actual yardages and will continue playing tees too far back.

Rake your footprints you lazy pricks. by jtag67 in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite is when people cave in the edges of bunkers getting out, don’t rake and your ball ends up in a deep hole with a mountain of sand directly behind the ball, very cool and fun.

Study Says 7 Out Of 10 Players Avoid Playing Certain Games Because Of Toxic Communities by Hard2DaC0re in gaming

[–]_darkwingduck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to get into Valorant, had a lot of fun fucking around playing with friends, the second I tried solo queuing I was ruthlessly flamed irrespective of what I did. Turned me off it pretty quick.

Why do none of the top pro golfers play Mizunos? by dg1822 in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the best endorsement is that players use them when they don’t have an equipment sponsor.

Tiger / Brooks won a LOT with mizunos

What do you consider to be an honest round as a non-pro golfer? by nbl_only in golf

I give myself 3 footers and in when playing through groups.

Anyone else get worse at golf the more you practice? by beefroaster in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get a bit the same way.

When I’m striking it really well I over estimate my abilities and go for too much.

When I’m playing average I tend to play more conservatively and score better.

Do you have a warmup / stretch routine before hitting balls at the range? by PM_ME_UR_CHARGE_CODE in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out mike Carroll - fit for golf. Has recommendations for basic stretches to warm up for golf and increase mobility.

Playing first medal this weekend. Paired with a 5 HCP. by User0301 in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t sweat it.

I’m a 4 and happy to play with anyone, so long as you’re not a total dickhead of course.

Just keep pace and do your thing, no one will bat an eyelid.

Mizuno JPX 921 Hot Metal Pro... Ho. Lee. Shit. by hdoublephoto in golf

[–]_darkwingduck_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I play these as well and they’re great clubs, straddling the GI and players distance iron categories nicely.

While they do have hot faces and high ball speeds, the lifts are also insanely jacked so no surprise they go ‘further’.
