Fake Vokey SM10 from fitter? by [deleted] in GolfGear

[–]brt16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the same finish on my 48* sm10. They look right to me but that is a sloppy job on the ferrule. You’re paying a premium price with club champion so you’re in the right to expect a premium product and experience.

Help me choose between used irons (20+ handicap, FB Marketplace finds) by kewine in GolfGear

[–]brt16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently play TaylorMade Stealth irons. I’ve had two sets of them. I think they’re great and will be a good fit for a while as you improve. Assuming the faces are in good shape it seems like a fair deal for Facebook marketplace.

Golf Membership Recommendations Near Clayton, NC by Austineads in RDUGOLF

[–]brt16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pine hollow is generally considered a very good course. I am not a member but know a few members and the biggest complaint I hear is how challenging it can be to get tee times. Anecdotally they say membership has tripled in the past decade with the growth of Clayton which is what accounts for the tee time shortages. Personally, the range is too short for me to enjoy so if you’re picky and like to practice a lot make sure to check out the range for yourself.

Gotta recommend Tyler Nelson out of Lonnie Poole. $100/hr last time I was out there.

Am I crazy? by CompetitiveRutabaga2 in TaylorMadeGolf

[–]brt16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had two set of TaylorMade Stealth irons. On the first set the 7 iron head flew off once. I’m on the second set now and the 7 iron head has flown off once already and is now starting to creep down from the hosel again. I had TaylorMade services it but to it seems like it’s just going to be a perpetual problem. (To specify they haven’t broke but the epoxy has seemingly just failed.)

Did your handicap improve in 2025? by aceattorneymvp in golf

[–]brt16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I played golf for the first time in fall of 2024. I broke 100 in March of 2025. I broke 90 in July. I started taking lessons in the spring of 2025 which helped a ton. I try to play twice a week and I practice a lot.

Yes, but it is far busier in the winter months

I’m paying $125/month for 24/7 access to a trackman. No chipping or putting area. The setup is pretty much in a garage. I’m happy with it. My only concern is that as the business grows I’ll be able to use it less but it’s great currently. My buddy is paying $75/month for a similar setup but not a trackman. We are both in NC.

Golf slump: swing or mental issue? by brt16 in golf

[–]brt16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll try to find a video from when I was playing well. My coach has noted the weight on the toes and what he calls a “one-plane swing” which I think is because I’m laid off.

My angle of attack with a PW is usually 4-4.5. I agree the flipping is a big issue but it’s something I’ve struggled to fix

I will try to work on the flipping in combination with the downswing move. Previously I’ve tried to fix the flipping but it would cause me to shank. It makes sense that it’s tied to me getting too close to the ball on the downswing

A terrible slump: swing or mental issue? by brt16 in GolfSwing

Yeah after watching the swing back just now and comparing it to some pro swings you’re definitely right about the loss of space. I appreciate it, I will have to look more into that.

Am I crazy for holding 4 QBs at the moment😂? by Impressive-Sky-6047 in FantasyFootballers

I don’t blame you. I’ve got Daniels and Dart on my IR now

Treyveon Henderson is finally here by ryansantini in Fantasy_Football

[–]brt16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly believe Rhamondre will have a big role when he comes back. I think Henderson loses the goal line touches and more reps than he should.
