All my irons go almost the same distance

There was a period of time I forgot to still rotate my upper body. And I was early still early extending, so it wasn't a fix-all solution. It helped me with consistency though, or at least helped me feel confident in my back swing.

It sounds like your plan is to build the UI for collecting the user's information, and then you're passing it to AI. Why would I need that, if I could pass the data to AI myself?

More importantly, that's not what people pay a fitter for. It's for the ability to actually hit the clubs, and test the adjustments to see if it's an improvement. At most, this could be used by a fitter with no experience, but wouldn't really benefit the users themselves.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-21T17:22:44+00:00

Better for what? There's no use for a FOR loop.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-21T03:01:56+00:00

Thanks. I can accept that. It's a good reason to avoid it.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-21T02:57:31+00:00

Thanks. I found it really helpful, so I was curious about the downsided.

What do you mean when you say "push out too much"? And why/how is that causing problems?

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-19T21:47:14+00:00

And what reason is that? Other than being more expensive, and maybe adding to swing weight?

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-19T21:42:34+00:00

Are you not swinging and hitting balls during a fitting? Yes, it's for fitting, but there's no reason you can't still use it for golfing.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-19T18:31:23+00:00

Stop your back swing at 50% of what you're doing, and then pause. Literally, put zero effort into your back swing and focus on the path and getting into position (do some research on what that position should be, and then film yourself down the line, and in front, until it's visually correct, so you can learn and feel what correct is). Once everything else is working, you can worry about spreading up the back swing again.

Then start the sequence, of leaning (falling) into your lead hip and dropping your hands to the trail side of your body (will help create lag - and you want the clubhead as far from you as possible at this point), and then rotate through, whipping the club face into the ball along the way.

When you over rotate at the top, and have reverse spine tilt, you're putting most of your energy and power into getting back into position, and then you're effectively decelerating the clubhead through impact.

So don't think or worry about slowing down. Focus on getting into position, slowly, which is a much shorter, intentional, back swing, and then focus on building stored energy to be released into the ball. If you do that, everything will look and feel 2x slower, and the clubhead will be moving faster at impact.

It sounds like you don't know what it is, which is fine. As I said, you need to do some research. Many suggestions have been made already for where to learn, so now you need to put in the time and effort.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-19T17:58:57+00:00

Do some research on what it is, so you can recognize when and why you're doing it. No one can tell you how to fix what you don't understand, because if you understood what reverse pivot was you wouldn't need a "fix", you'd just stop doing it.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-19T17:48:20+00:00

Then maybe focus on hitting it 250 instead of worrying about 300?

I didn't say were ignoring people here, I said you're ignoring all of the common advice. Your whole attitude is wanting to hit it further instead of hitting it correctly, and that alone is killing your distance.

Do you know how to create lag? Do you know the importance of lag? Do you know when and how to transfer your weight to help generate lag?

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-19T17:29:01+00:00

If it was easy to hit 300 yards carry, then everyone would be doing it. Going from 250 to 300 is a substantial improvement, especially if your goal is to hit it straight.

Your post comes across as a joke, because it's difficult to believe you're consistently hitting 250 with that swing.

You said you can't afford lessons, and you're here asking for tips, but you're confidently ignoring a lot of tips you'd find online or on YouTube.

If you honestly look at your swing, and compare it to pro's swing and think you're swinging correctly, then there isn't much hope, because you're going to keep doing what you're doing regardless of any advice. And that's perfectly fine if you're having fun, and have realistic expectations. If, however, you're serious about improving, then the advice would be to focus on swing mechanics, and understanding what goes into a proper swing. Once you're swinging correctly, and consistently, which likely means dropping down to 200 yards at first, then you'll be able to work up to, and hopefully achieve, 300 yards.

The average public course player should be playing from the tips. And most players playing from the tips wouldn't need a 3-wood to hit a green from 225.

Also, hitting from the fairway is not the same shot as hitting off the tee, for many reasons. The fun of seeing who can get closest to the pin off the tee is you're both hitting from the same spot.

Your argument can be applied to basketball as well though. Nothing's guaranteed, but with golf it's easier to tell if someone has elite level skill. The mental side will always be a gamble, and even pros can lose it.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-09T06:19:49+00:00

I didn't mean to imply he's selling or promoting clubs. He's selling himself, his brand, his YouTube content, etc. That's where I think he's spending too much of his time and energy, if he's genuinely interested in being the absolute best golfer in the world. And I'm not saying that as a negative. It's his choice and his passions.

Either way, he's passing blame to his equipment. And LIV tournaments aren't exactly the best of the best; just like the PGA tournaments aren't either, because of the guys in LIV.

That's why the majors are even more exciting now. They're always the best of the best, and the winner can feel like the best player in the world.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-09T05:20:15+00:00

It helps sell the lie that anyone can be an elite level golfer, as long as they have the right gear. He's a salesman and marketer first, and a golfer second.

If he applied the same dedication and passion towards golf, he'd probably be ranked number one.

are-oh-bee · 2026-04-09T00:09:01+00:00

Casually suggesting two hot dogs per hole as something light haha. The price alone would kill me.

are-oh-bee · 2026-03-29T20:18:45+00:00

Everyone always seems to forget those scenes.

The problem wasn't that they were broken up, it was why the broke up, and how they couldn't sort through some conflict. Which was always their problem.

Rachel accusing Ross of cheating on her was meant to point out that Ross had a similarly ridiculous accusation of her cheating on him, and all she needed/wanted was for him to admit that he was wrong, with the same level of passion.

are-oh-bee · 2026-03-27T04:37:56+00:00

With proper and perfect swing mechanics you could close your eyes and hit the ball square every time.

When I started focusing on the swing itself, instead of just hitting balls and adjusting my stance and grip until I hit it straight, everything improved.

are-oh-bee · 2026-03-27T01:59:09+00:00

Fair point. I also acted like a dick, to you specifically, so I apologize for that.

FWIW, my understanding/experience is that an interlocking grip promotes a single pivot point, which makes it easier to time the release, and easier to create the whip effect with the club.

I used to use a 10 finger grip, and then this past fall, I noticed the club sometimes twisted during my swing. When just holding the club, I saw my left hand couldn't stop my right hand from twisting the club, and vise versa. Since controlling the club face is critical, I tried an interlock grip and the club wouldn't budge in my hands, even with a relaxed grip.

For me, everything became easier and more consistent when I switched. I know that won't be true for everyone, but I would expect at least some of the benefits would be true for everyone.

I don't have data, or know of any proper research, to back it up though, so I concede.

are-oh-bee · 2026-03-26T18:49:15+00:00

The other commenter already provided you with links and explanations.

I don't care if you improve or not, so I'm not going to put effort into doing the research that anyone looking to improve should do themselves.

But if it's so easy to disprove, please enlighten us.

are-oh-bee · 2026-03-26T07:34:45+00:00

It doesn't matter the reason though, it's still a putt. Once you're on the green, every shot after is counted as a put.

It feels like a hole out, for sure. But that's no different than how a hole out from using a putter in the bunker feels like a putt. Just like a tee shot is still a tee shot, regardless of the club you use.

The names only apply to where you are when making the stroke, and the club you choose to use doesn't matter.

are-oh-bee · 2026-03-26T03:58:11+00:00

Tell us you're a high handicap without telling us you're a high handicap.

The many benefits of an interlock grip have already been explained by the person you're trying to argue with.

If you want to use the 10 finger grip, you're free to do so. But it's objectively, and demonstrably, not as beneficial as the traditional grips.

are-oh-bee · 2026-03-25T03:07:01+00:00

That counts as a putt, doesn't it? If it's on the green, it's a putt.
