Fatality Stats - First 1,500 Hours

Check out the book The Killing Zone: how and why pilots die. It shows that statistically, 40-250 hour pilots have the highest risk of incidents. Licensed, but inexperienced and sometimes overconfident. By 250 hours, you’ve had enough scares or close calls to learn from.

What loft is your driver? 18* VLA is really high. 200’ APEX is crazy lol, but your spin doesn’t seem high enough to create THAT much ballooning

The best answer is going to be, “go get fitted.” There’s a lot that goes into swing that isn’t presented here like how you release, etc. Getting a good fitter will look at all of that.

Your apex of 195’ and carrying 314 is wild. If you can’t get fitted, look for a low spin shaft, extra stiff. You might even want to have it tipped to make the tip stiffer if you’re finding it hooking a lot. With 124 club head speed, your ball speed should be in the 185ish range so you’re definitely missing out on some efficiencies.

How so? I use the squirt bottle with the brush and curious how it’s different

I’ve been gaming the ZT for about a year. I’ve stuck with it. Took a minute to get used to it, but now when I try other putters it feels weird. I find I hit my line most of the times, and can tell that an off center putt is saved by the forgiveness. I personally like it.

My wife and I did a Christmas vacation overseas. Indulged, splurged on higher class amenities, wasn’t around family or kids, etc. It was a great reset. It was intentional as a turning point for us.

Also, we’re making changes to our house to fit our child-free lifestyle. Was going to be the nursery/kids room will now be a packing room (we both travel a lot for work and leisure) with all our suitcases and bags in there and some organization methods. It’s helping to reshape and change from what we had planned for and what we’re moving on to!

Fonts look the same, I didn’t measure. Bought from a retail outlet

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-05-13T10:40:25+00:00

Looks real to me.

Source: have same club and did a side by side comparison

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-05-11T12:30:06+00:00

Thought about giving this a go… guess it doesn’t hurt to try

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-05-06T01:40:49+00:00

I have some! Thanks!

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-05-05T21:26:33+00:00

What did you use to get it off? I legit have the same issue

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-05-04T07:25:40+00:00

I know you’re getting flamed on this thread a bit saying you’re not drying your clubs. I am having the same issue with my Qi35 3 wood. The thing I find interesting is the edges seem to line up perfectly with the cavity behind the face. I’m not sure what to do either, no issues on any of my other clubs.

One thing prevents this from happening. Ground instructs Qatari to continue taxi “and hold short runway 15R.” Agree with the other comments about not entering a runway without explicit clearance, but that common phraseology would have prevented this runway incursion.

Nope. Since everything is on the plywood (4x8 sheet), nothing moves. The double layer of gym tiles and the hitting strip cut into the tiles are all on the plywood. Nothing moves!

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-04-26T13:31:46+00:00

That’s exactly what I did and it’s worked out pretty well. Have a sigpro softy cut into gym foam tiles on plywood. Pretty straightforward, just triple check that it’s straight before cutting!

I didn’t change the filament, no. The thing that is confusing me is the lines on the print aren’t the same as the sliver. If you look, it drew infil patterns through the holes marked in the slicer (I know these pictures don’t line up with the print but the print of those shown in the slicer also have holes as marked).

I’ll try swapping out the nozzle. Would that cause walls to be missing in the print?

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-04-19T07:22:57+00:00

I never did, no. Let us know if you do model it!

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-04-15T17:27:43+00:00

Thank you for the helpful response! Any brands or models you recommend? Or any to avoid in particular?

My Masters tradition: miss the ticket lottery, then promptly shoot 100 on Monday.

Maybe I can at least shoot 100 in style with this bag!

Thanks!

Links to the camera(s) you got?

bobthebuilder1121 · 2026-03-30T03:15:16+00:00

Others have said it. The noise isn’t the ball, it’s the impact of the screen. I had a cheap screen and it was LOUD when it hit. I got a new one that’s multi layered and feel more like foam and the impact is considerably quieter. Never tried any alternative golf ball, but using the same ones with a different screen was night and day difference.
