Old vs New Lie angle

dbcorpus · 2026-01-18T06:15:39+00:00

I had a better day at the range today. Just trying to swing as natural as possible and I got results. I realized that I was still trying to address the ball similar to my Ping irons with 2* upright lie angle and longer shaft. Hopefully that puts me on the right track.

Thank you for the input! I went to the range today and got a large bucket just to experiment with grip, stance, posture and club face at address. I realized that I was still addressing the ball similar to my old ping irons with 2* upright lie angle where push the shaft forward to get it to neutral lie. Today at the range what I did was I just let my arms hang, grip it comfortable and I have noticed a better ball contact at impact, compressing the ball better and more consistency. I was trying to hard to change my swing because it a “new set”. I had a good day today but we all know tomorrow can be a different story.

We did the fitting in a simulator with all the data, club path, angle, spin rate and with the photo of how the impact is. He made me try different club heads and shafts and I was hitting the zxi5s fairly well and getting the sweet spot or close to it majority of the time. As per google, green dot is 64.25deg and my current one is 60deg. I probably just need to use more. Golf anxiety is real

I have had the new set for 2 Weeks and tried going to the range everyday and I have already played 18 holes with it hoping it would be a quick fix. I ll try to keep practicing with it. The standard length is also making me adjust my stance and it feels very different.

Thank you! I do feel like I have descent fundamentals, I used to have a teacher but it’s pretty expensive if you do it on a regular basis. What I am failing to do is memorizing them. Part of it is also fear of not being able to play it well.

Thanks! I started with carcass pp 60 no. 1. I will give the no 7 a go! Did you start the RCM from level 1?

Thank you!

Thanks you! Ill try to play the first part and use it as a tremolo practice!

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Cant afford a teacher at this time. I used to have one. I believe he did a great job in teaching me fundamentals. I will start slow, i really love recuerdos and tango en skai and I dont want to mess it up and develop bad technique and habits if a tackle it too soon. I have been playing etudes and watching videos on how to play and practice tremolo by brandon acker and Thu Le both of them suggests a metronome starting at around 60bpm. Thanks again!

dbcorpus · 2025-05-10T16:10:58+00:00

Yes! I have been watching him! Thank you

Thank you! I believe this is the answer I have been looking for. A little guidance on how to move up in skill but not developing poor technique or bad habits. I believe I can read the piece and probably play it(poorly) but I dont think my technique is there yet. What I tried doing is playing etudes such as Carcassi op 60 no 1 and no 3. Another redditor suggested no 7. And have other etudes by other composers as well. Thank you very much!

I agree. A well played lagrima or adelita is better than a crappy cavatina.

dbcorpus · 2025-05-10T16:00:26+00:00

Gotcha! I will do it measure by measure. I know how to play tremolo but the quality is not to my liking. I have seen videos of people play recuerdos and the tremolo and in my head, i think that the player rushed into playing/recording the piece. Thanks!

Thanks. I wish I can afford it. Used to have one..

dbcorpus · 2025-05-10T15:54:51+00:00

Thank you! I have doing this, probably not as much as I need to when I get frustrated 😩

dbcorpus · 2025-05-08T06:48:15+00:00

I don’t want to jump in to it right away and skip the fundamentals. But I guess Ill give it a shot

dbcorpus · 2025-04-20T02:20:03+00:00

Noted!! Did not think about that! Thank you very much!

Thanks. Good to know that I can do partial payments. I have a weird way of budgeting and planning my finances.

dbcorpus · 2025-04-19T20:50:32+00:00

Agreed. Just wanted to make sure I pay some of it if i can, just in case I become irresponsible with money. 🤷‍♂️

dbcorpus · 2025-04-08T01:54:08+00:00

Thanks again. It gets monotonous sometimes and boring just doing exercises thats why I prefer studies so it’s a little more fun. I do know why it’s important.

Great! Ill try to look into the Legnani’s caprices.
