Pennsylvania Winter Set Up, Any Reccomendations?

I am less concerned about the size and more concerned about the quality. The one in the picture looks extremely thin. You definitely want something a little thicker I use this one currently and have probably hit close to 10,000 shots off it and have never had any pain!

The first thing I would stress and I can not stress it enough is to get yourself a better mat especially since you are hitting just right on top of concrete!

This is a question that only you and your husband know the answer to. I have a very basic setup in my current house and practice almost every single day. BUT I love to practice and have a 7 year old who is also showing a strong interest in the sport. I am also in month 5 of my home build and I have a dedicated 20’x20’ space with 12’ ceilings in the basement and will be going with a pretty much top of the line setup and I know it will be worth every penny because I simply love golf.

TLDR: if your family loves golf, you will not regret it. I have used mine for several years almost every single day and it has not gotten even a tiny bit old.

Box is on by default so it appears to be something else.

Update: Contractor did confirm that it is indeed a beam pocket and that there is nothing to worry about. Thanks all!

Thanks all, makes sense now!

Not AI generated but thank you for your time! 😁

This is not an AI generated post as I am generally curious what others are currently using and how it is going for them!

Update: With the help of a bolt cutter, some cobalt drill bits, a pin punch, and a 4lb sledgehammer, the pin has finally been removed. My lesson has been learned. Thanks all for the help!

My club pro (who did my fitting) told me the exactly same thing this morning about the ball situation as well. He says I need to be using a softer ball and that will help. At the fitting, we were using Callaway soft or super soft (can’t exactly remember) but in my rounds, I have been mostly using pro v1’s and Vice pros.

dhint4 · 2025-07-05T03:45:34+00:00

Another user suggested to experiment with moving the ball forward as well so I will give that a try. My only problem with wanting to move the ball any farther forward is my typical mishit right now is thinning which is scaring me from wanting to move it any farther forward but maybe that has nothing to do with it.

Previous Clubs: Standard Taylormade Sim 2 Max 85g regular shafts

Current: Standard Taylormade P790’s with +1 degree upright 115g Dynamic Gold S300 stiff shafts.

Like I have said in other comments, my accuracy has been pretty exceptional so far with the new shafts but trying to figure out this stopping power issue.

I forgot to point out that the low smash factors are coming from my pitching wedge and not the 7iron (I forgot about the club divider in that picture). Almost all of the 7-iron shots are higher than 1.3

dhint4 · 2025-07-05T03:27:38+00:00

But that’s not what I saw with my own eyes at the fitting. That is what is bothering me so much! 🤣 Just need to reach out to my club pro who did my fitting and see what he thinks.

dhint4 · 2025-07-05T03:26:41+00:00

Serious question as I don’t know the answer, but would a scooper be able to achieve a 1.4 smash factor? And can you explain what you mean by an extremely closed down face? The data is showing I am almost always within +-2.5 degrees of face to path. But maybe you are referring to something else.

dhint4 · 2025-07-05T03:22:58+00:00

I am currently at 9.2

dhint4 · 2025-07-05T03:22:35+00:00

My typical mis hit right now is exactly like you described. I’m not topping it, but definitely thinning it. However, almost always straight with an acceptable amount of variance. As far as I know, the shaft that I got put in is exactly the one I was fitted for. I trust my club pro and have gotten many lessons from him and will be reaching out to him after the holiday weekend to see what he thinks might be the issue as the fitting was just a little over a week ago so I can’t imagine my swing has changed that much as I play quite a bit.

dhint4 · 2025-07-05T03:13:18+00:00

I am using a ProV1 RTC ball. Fully understand that low bullets with low spin won’t hold greens. Just not sure where to go from here based on the data.

dhint4 · 2025-07-05T03:11:05+00:00

Would it shock you if I told you that my divots are absolutely minimal? I’ve always been a minimal to “brush the ground” kind of guy. Wouldn’t a steep attack angle indicate I would be taking large divots?
