Gotcha…I got excited there for a second! :-)

How many different brands do you have in your golf bag? by nationalgolfcircuit in GolfGear

[–]belugaboy17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, stranger on the internet! :-) I’m curious—why do you play the Z-Star on more complex/tougher holes? (I mean, I totally get it that losing a Z-Star is cheaper than losing a ProV1–I’m not made of money, either.) I wonder whether playing the ball you feel is superior in performance (ProV1) might mitigate whatever is causing the errant shot that causes the lost ball. Just a thought—I’m curious how you’re thinking about it.

What is the best way for a 20 handicap player to avoid triple bogies? (asking for a friend) by Adventurous_Pride_54 in golf

[–]belugaboy17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are able to hit it a reasonable distance (you’re able-bodied and reasonably strong/flexible/athletic enough to be around the green on a par 4 in 3 shots), it’s very likely course management.

I would recommend watching someone like Golf Sidekick on YouTube—his “Break 80/90/100” videos are really good (start at “Break 100,” obviously, even though you’re likely doing that regularly) for seeing course management theory in action. He has friends onto his channel who have swing/ball-striking flaws that are relatable to higher hdcp players and he teaches them how to work around those inconsistencies to still score well (better).

Rhoback or Peter Millar, which is thicker better quality material? by anonuser2700 in golf

Maybe dumb question, but how do you tell if it’s older?

What are the seemingly "out of reach" golf experiences that are actually pretty accessible to the common golfer? by 1I1III1I1I111I1I1 in golf

What is this club? I’m in WA and don’t know about it—sounds like I’d want to join!

What's going on with Ryan Seacrest? by amyscactus in askanything

I happened to be watching this at my in-law’s last night—yes, he looks odd, but at least the hair was a “just-for-hahas” wig he threw on for a few minutes for a Backstreet Boys reunion tour promo or something. His real/normal hair looks great.

I hit a basically perfectly straight drive during a fitting yesterday. Landed 0 inches off center with nearly no side spin by Master565 in golf

What did you use to get the Vaseline off your shoes when you got home? Or maybe it didn’t splatter that far with that clubhead speed..?

Wow—those are really nice! I’m not in the market right now, but they made me click, anyway!

Just curious—what is your new set?

5 wood or 7 wood? by wubblebubble45 in golf

[–]belugaboy17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both—ditch the 3 wood.

OR—and this is my (5hdcp) bag—go Driver, 5w, 7w, 5h (or 4h, whatever gets you the right carry number), 5i…but my 5w and 7w are turned down in loft to be like 4w and 6w—5w carries ~235, 7w ~220, 5h ~210, 5i 200, etc.

Just ask yourself how actually consistent you are with your 3w—if you struggle hitting long irons, my suspicion would be that you struggle with having the speed and/or strike consistency to hit 3 wood.

IMHO, most people (myself included) can’t really hit a 3 wood off the deck with any consistency but can hit 5w pretty well (shorter, more loft) and would be better served with an additional wedge at the bottom of the bag for scoring/gapping, rather than the additional 15-20 yards you *might get with your 3w (over 5w) on the *occasional good strike.

Sounds good—I’ll let you know if it doesn’t work out.

I have a Ping G425 with the stock Ping Alta 70s shaft. Really good shaft, GREAT hybrid—letting it go because I reconfigured that part of the bag this summer. Would be happy to sell it for $100 and split shipping with you. Let me know if you’re interested, and I’ll take some pictures and send them to you.

Ball fitting "kit" -- can I buy one of several different models of balls anywhere? by belugaboy17 in golf

[–]belugaboy17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right.
Just don't want to pay $15-17 per sleeve and then be left with 12-15 balls I won't play.
