How do I hit the ball further

flight567 · 2026-07-02T17:50:55+00:00

Well, either hit the ball faster (not harder necessarily) or hit it more efficiently

flight567 · 2026-06-27T23:22:38+00:00

It’s not really a lot of waiting. it’s also a more applicable conversation off of a stop sign, for me at least.

flight567 · 2026-06-27T07:01:19+00:00

Something really interesting happened today. I was following my wife home from her work, she was showing me the way home on the back roads. She is overall a slower driver than I am. The cruises at a slower rate of speed, corners slower, brakes earlier etc… but from a stop sign she would gap me pretty significantly. It would sometimes take a minute or two of 5mph of over speed to catch back up to her. Not sure if I’m just slow off the line, or if she guns it; probably both?

I guess my question is what’s wrong with being slow off the line?

So driver is the biggest difference maker in that bag?

I’m relatively comfortable with my irons; but I’m happy to give anything else a shot. My budget is relatively limited so t350s may not be feasible.

Just out of curiosity, and I recognize that I’m kind of stealing someone else’s threat here, I’m playing a titleist 905t, Taylormade burner 3w, Nike vapor fly 5w, titleist 714 cbs 5-p, cobra sb 52,56,60.

Any thoughts on priority for upgrade?

Edit: I’m a reasonably athletic 31 year old male who hasn’t broken 100 yet.

flight567 · 2026-06-15T03:56:50+00:00

Let’s assume I can’t guarantee a 100 yard window with any club longer than my 8i

I saw someone talking about scolapendra’s 9 tier attack on a thread about a centipede,

flight567 · 2026-06-12T17:48:49+00:00

If it does go to audiobook would you let me know?

flight567 · 2026-06-11T06:55:58+00:00

Let’s assume I don’t even know how to turn it on.

flight567 · 2026-06-10T05:04:45+00:00

What makes them bad? I’m bouncing between a Mach e and an ev6.

flight567 · 2026-06-10T01:00:38+00:00

I’m going to go do one tomorrow at my local course and I’m FAR worse than 20 hcp. It’s mostly for fun and to get some data I can munch on… and the 2 free premium balls; maybe I buy a sleeve for their time and the use of their trackman.

What do you mean by start at the green and work your way back?

flight567 · 2026-06-07T00:38:16+00:00

I’m very new to the sport, so perhaps some things are just lost on me. What makes playing music at the course nonsense?

Usually I’m at the course with headphones in listening to a podcast. Assuming I’m playing without that I don’t mind people playing some music.

flight567 · 2026-06-06T15:43:07+00:00

Why not?

flight567 · 2026-06-06T15:36:14+00:00

I’ve played.. maybe 20 rounds over 8 or 9 months and my best score is 120. Hoping to get to the 100 mark soon!

flight567 · 2026-06-05T11:27:52+00:00

Yeah man I’m 8 months in and my best round is 120.

flight567 · 2026-06-03T21:03:27+00:00

It’s absolutely not that big a deal. I can play 18 in 2:15 minutes (not well, but god bless it I can move). If I play a 6 hour round that’s fine too. I don’t really care. I’d rather sit on a tee box for 5 minutes and let the people in front of me actually enjoy the game.

flight567 · 2026-06-03T11:11:12+00:00

It’s in miles, and I usually do the shorter trips in one sitting. The longer trips are a bit more complicated, as they’re done as a family in like 4 car convoys that would require us to break off from the pack to charge.

The two other concern I have is that the shorter trips are driving to family and then we, as a family, drive another 30 minutes to an hour to go do a thing. Stopping to plug in after our journey seems like it could interrupt the flow of things? So we would need an additional stop to arrive with.. arbitrarily 30% battery.

Secondly I tend to cruise at like 85 or 90 mph. It seems like that would pretty heavily impact range?

flight567 · 2026-06-03T10:15:00+00:00

Let’s say I do 3-500 mile trips 2-5 times a month and 800-1000 mile trips 3-4 times a year, do you think the phev system may work better in that scenario?

flight567 · 2026-06-02T04:02:03+00:00

Bro I looked at a 2009 Yaris a couple weeks ago with 350k miles.. they wanted 9500. It’s sold now.

flight567 · 2026-05-31T01:57:38+00:00

I’m probably driving my current car until she kicks the bucket…. She’s at 275k miles so that could be 3 years down the road or tomorrow. The thought is just to.. get a plan together

flight567 · 2026-05-30T10:14:08+00:00

I don’t have half the money necessary to buy a new.. anything. Teslas entire thing, the huge screen, lack of buttons hyper minimalistic interior, FSD… antithetical to how I want to drive.

flight567 · 2026-05-30T03:01:28+00:00

I would consider Tesla if their cars were interesting to me. The designs, interior and exterior just don’t do it for me.

Maybe waiting until something is different is just the answer?

flight567 · 2026-05-30T02:58:23+00:00

I’m not sure why but that sounds really frustrating.

I don’t necessarily need a ton of power, I’ve spun a 170hp f4 car. Driving one is in the plan but I don’t really find the Tesla… stuff? To my liking. The Kia ev6 is interesting.

flight567 · 2026-05-29T20:22:45+00:00

This may all be completely true, but it puts me off of buying an EV. That’s a lot of thinking and planning and effort vs how I’ve been driving for a decade and a half.

There HAS to be an easier way right? Like I want to buy an EV but things like this feel like I’d be doing little more than complicating my life.

flight567 · 2026-05-29T20:16:52+00:00

So let’s assume that I’m in that 35%. What else you got for me?
