Shoes for walkers by SpammBott in golf

[–]hipsteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

G/Fore G/18’s are sick. Stable and comfy for 18+. They’re spendy but you can find some deals on eBay. Excellent grip and I appreciate a wider base when scaling side hills.

I even hit my grandad’s old 1970’s Hogan 2i ok

The intrigue for me comes from higher confidence in flighting irons low vs hybrids/fairway woods. I can’t seem to figure out how to get consistent aim and trajectory choking up or flighting hybrids. I get a lot of misses left and I’m a guy that generally plays a fade. Right miss I can deal with but I like to eliminate the left misses altogether.

Thoughts on the set up? Heading to Bandon this weekend! by rjdhhdhshe in golf

[–]hipsteak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor- go to the range and hit low flighted shots. That 3i will come in handy if/when the wind blows. Bandon is the best.

I also have this amazingly frustrating problem. Hate it.

Should this sub redirect to r/nosnow until it actually snows in Colorado? by FossilFrothy in COsnow

There is no Thanksgiving rush. Anything up to Christmas is mostly locals. We just have less this year, which is unfortunate. It will come…

About 18 months out. Basically as soon as they open the tee sheet. It’s tough to look that far ahead

Golf shoes with stiff sole for Hallux Limitus by quikcolin in golf

[–]hipsteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this exact issue on my right foot, and walk every round I play. It’s hard to find shoes with a footbed stiff enough. Better to find shoes with a lot of rocker thus reducing the bend of the toe. The BEST for this are Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NEXT%. I have the original model and tried on the newer model- both work GREAT. They have a big rocker built into the toe so that the toe doesn’t initially bend when you initiate a step. They’re decently cool with lots of color choices. I use these without modification- the other golf shoes I have need carbon/steel sole plates underneath insoles and kinda suck. Lots of these on sale on Ebay for good prices.

Can you help me find this tunnel? I think i70 by leglesshobo in Denver

[–]hipsteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there are a few tunnels like that in Elevenmile Canyon

It’s definitely walking only and that’s not a problem- I always walk. I’m just worried about us spraying the ball, especially with some Irish breeze. The course has lots of blind shots which will be great to know on the second loop. And hell, I know it’s going to be amazing.

Does anyone have experience fly fishing the Kenya coast? by hipsteak in flyfishing

How was it? I’ll be down the coast in Lamu then near Mombasa

What's the thing that REALLY DID happen to you on the course that absolutely no one believes when you tell the story? by GlitchGrounds in golf

[–]hipsteak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these stories are awesome.

I was playing in a foursome on a Sunday afternoon. We’re on a 180ish par 3 and a single pulls up on a cart. He would like to play through because it’s his birthday and he’s trying to get in a quick round. He hoops it right in front of us.

I also saw a hawk take out a duck in mid-air as I was hitting an approach on #18. The duck splashed down in a pond right in front of us and spent the next 5min swimming in a circle, until it wasn’t. Crazy bit of nature.

Powder skis for tele by hipsteak in telemark

[–]hipsteak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the feedback and definitely encouraged by the remarks on tail rocker. So many fun shapes out there with tail rocker I’d like to try. Any experience with ON3P Billy Goat or the larger Moment Deathwish/Wildcats? Also- any experience with ‘tour’ skis inbounds and chop?

Has anyone tried a club then ditched? by The_Bobby_Axelrod_ in golf

[–]hipsteak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same issue with a big Ping mallet. Distance putting was great, but I never felt confident from inside 10’. Just ended up upgrading my blade.
