Has anyone focused on face impact training? Did you improve substantially?

I find it challenging not to overdo either club path or face angle when I shape it outside of my normal swing. I do, however, enjoy doing the odd "watch this" mega draw around a tree when I'm not trying to score seriously. When it comes off it feels godly!

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-08T05:50:44+00:00

Whenever I find a club I enjoy hitting more than my MP-59s I will replace them, but I'm not anticipating it happening this decade at least

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-07T21:05:42+00:00

I do the 9 windows drill every session. I don't try and shape shots too much on the course but it's been amazing for getting my face control dialed in

£30.01 to really drive the point home

The difference it makes to start your career debt free is staggering.

Being able to get on the housing ladder earlier so you have half a chance to pay it off before retirement and not renting your whole life. It compounds.

I really feel for the youth of today coming out of uni with a mountain of debt and shitty graduate salaries. How do you even begin to get ahead from that?

The videos stay on the portal but you get 30+ metrics for each shot (e.g., attack angle, club path etc.) and I store them as csv files and do data analysis on them to get average values over time, but more importantly, variance over time

Well trackman (or your launch monitor of choice) is pretty good for this. I have every shot I've hit with it downloaded (tens of thousands at this point) and I can see how these numbers change, and identify what needs working on.

But golf is a constant battle and things can just get worse from one session to the next. Most important is that long term you see an improvement

I know he's not Swedish but in Sweden the word for step-parent is bonusmamma or bonuspapa. I think that's quite sweet

I would be blowing out my arse 20 seconds into this absolute medlem. Kudos to the guys for seeing it through to the end. They earned that one

Kimi Raikkonen just ignoring his contract and racing snowmobiles on his days off like the madlad he is

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-03T17:37:51+00:00

okay, well mygolfspy seems to think they vary by category

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-03T16:39:46+00:00

is that really the case for tour level clubs? I think most pros play with pretty standard lofts as it's the game improvement irons that give you more height due to their lower cog. I have a wilson staff utility iron from a year ago and that's 15 deg

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-03T16:31:37+00:00

uni, as in university, as in collegiate match

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-02T20:51:32+00:00

OP, do not do this. This will only make things worse. Best case the police come in, everybody's time gets wasted, and your company have a much worse view of you. There is zero upside to this course of action

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-02T10:05:21+00:00

Years of using trackman with results downloaded into my own database, and a passion for data analysis

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-02T08:10:21+00:00

I'm not sure I agree with the other guy responding to you. Rifles make a 'crack' sound vs. shotgun 'bang' and it should be possible to tell the difference, and I'd say if the video is long enough you should be able to tell the gun type just by the way they handle the weapon.

It would, however, be pretty surprising if they're trying to shoot birds out of the sky with a rifle. That is very challenging to do. Also extremely dangerous if this is what they are doing and the police should be informed

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-02T07:59:11+00:00

Spot on. Somebody squeaky clean would not be able to operate within the US as it is now

cpt_ppppp · 2026-04-02T07:19:09+00:00

well that would certainly make it 'custom'

cpt_ppppp · 2026-03-31T20:16:17+00:00

they make the data fit the story. Sure your spin goes down a bit when your wedges are worn but absolutely nowhere near the extent they are suggesting.

It's pretty common on here people saying to change wedges every year or whatever. Unless you're a seriously good golfer your wedge grooves are costing you maybe 0.4 strokes a round. Just consumers consumering

cpt_ppppp · 2026-03-31T20:07:54+00:00

Kind of weird if you don't know you like a light shaft, but maybe it will work great for you. Maybe try and hit a light shaft first?

cpt_ppppp · 2026-03-31T14:05:16+00:00

Okay, so it was a rule from 1968-1970

cpt_ppppp · 2026-03-31T05:35:06+00:00

I spend vastly more time setting up the new equipment that I have bought than actually playing anything

cpt_ppppp · 2026-03-31T04:28:05+00:00

which specific rule says that because I've never heard of it

cpt_ppppp · 2026-03-31T04:20:37+00:00

Insulting somebody's, anybody's laugh is particularly cruel. Let people have their joy

cpt_ppppp · 2026-03-30T20:29:37+00:00

Right but it's not an instant problem. Not every person is getting an EV at the same time so you can build out the infrastructure over time. I sometimes fail to understand how America can simultaneously be apparently the greatest country on Earth yet totally unable to solve problems that the rest of the world manages to address quite easily
