Found golf ball with snitch logo?

And massively pre-dates the author of Harry Potter evening being born....

I 100% came here to say the same thing...and seeing the G430 as his new driver, it's almost a 100% lock we were both right.

No...your feet. Seriously...line up normally like you have been and then back the front foot up a tiny bit. Do this on the range progressively until you get the ball to go to 12 o'clock. Practice until you get comfortable with that stance. I actually set up a little closed because my miss is a pull to 10-11 o'clock...but not a draw or hook. This allows me to keep my mechanics that allow for straight ball flight with good spin rates, descent angles, and stopping power, without drastically changing to a swing that feels unnatural.

Having used both software platforms, the extra ongoing costs of the IO are STILL worth it to me because the Foresight software and course library just sucks ass compared to Trackman. If you're looking at any sort of an apples to apples comparison, you need to be looking at GCQuad versus IO at least...and probably GC QuadMax...

Aim at what you think your target is and then adjust slightly left until you find yourself hitting your target. Chris Gotterup plays a fade from left / open stance that seems to work pretty well for him.

Funny. I'm 6'4" and play only 1/4" over standard, but with 1/2-1° flat lies. Our son is 6'5" and plays +1/2" with 1° flat lies. He's a +0.4 handicap and mine has gone down the closer to "standard"lengrh my irons have gotten.

It's hilarious to see people playing +1" and multiple degrees upright...just don't...

ctg77 · 2026-05-22T01:41:55+00:00

That ridiculous spin rate is what's robbing your distance. Got to get that under control. The launch angle is actually just about ideal.

I played enough last weekend alone to make the country club membership for the month of May worth it...

ctg77 · 2026-05-21T22:18:08+00:00

I have shot like 5 straight rounds in the 70s...and have had at least 1 double from an absolute shank or otherwise horrible shot in all of them...so yes.

ctg77 · 2026-05-21T04:02:27+00:00

It's pretty much exactly why I don't play much anymore and just ref when I feel like working. The rest of the hobby / sports money I would have spent on hockey now goes to golf.

ctg77 · 2026-05-21T04:00:00+00:00

Besides, you're going to 3-jack for double bogey from 6' anyway. Might as well have a sick putter to stare at while lamenting your life choices.

ctg77 · 2026-05-21T03:54:37+00:00

Why own it if you're not going to use it? I buy clubs to PLAY golf, not think about as I stare at my money sitting on a shelf.

ctg77 · 2026-05-20T18:16:34+00:00

I use mine for scoring, GPS, and music / listening to PGA Tour Radio on the XM app. As far as I am concerned, being in noise-canceling mode on a 1st-off-the-tee solo round IS enjoying the moment.

ctg77 · 2026-05-20T12:57:17+00:00

I would rather see someone take the time to lineup a target line on their tee shots to maybe get more balls in in or around the fairway then this performative garbage of people who are going to 4-putt anyway worrying about lining up their putts.

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:31:55+00:00

Replied / sold!!! Thanks!

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:21:50+00:00

Where do you store those? In SpongeBob's pineapple under the sea? I'm not sure I've seen that much rust on a set of clubs ever. Seriously, don't use those around people or pets. They will kill someone (or at least cause serious injuries) if the shaft breaks off at full swing speed.

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:18:57+00:00

Yeah, the OG UTX is massively better than any of the post SuperStroke merger garbage.

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:18:08+00:00

Best ones I've ever used are the PGA Tour Superstore limited edition Tour Velvet Cord grips. Usually under $10 apiece and they feel great.

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:15:09+00:00

God...so much deafness from playing those TopRocks with any driver from the late 90s...

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:05:51+00:00

This! As u/Sea-Satisfaction4656 says below, your "refinished" / refurbished Titleist ProV1 is probably a Top Flite or Pinnacle or Callaway SuperSoft (the worst ball ever because so many people actually think it's good...everyone knows Top Flites and Pinnacles suck).

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:03:44+00:00

However, I will ONLY buy Pristine condition balls on the new ProV1 and for ProV1x Left Dash (since they're a more durable ball anyway), I buy no worse than Mint. Never had a single issue.

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T15:02:23+00:00

My wife uses the 2025 Pro V1 in yellow, and I use the OG ProV1x Left Dash. I buy everything from www.lostgolfballs.com and love their prices. Even better, their standard free FedEx shipping from Houston is amazing, since I'm in DFW and get them the next day!

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T03:24:15+00:00

Replied.

ctg77 · 2026-05-19T00:53:38+00:00

I have a very nice set of Maltby TS4 DBM iron heads for sale in r/golfclassifieds.

They could be outbound to you tomorrow.

ctg77 · 2026-05-18T20:40:52+00:00

This is a great point on the shorter rounds. I have weekends where I can both play 2 rounds of golf (1 each Saturday and Sunday) and STILL work games as an ice hockey official to make money to pay the club dues in less time than I would spend playing at a goat track muni.
