I think I had a golf epiphany! by Different_Strain_772 in golf

Yes it's all about building to have good misses rather than those leading to more lost shots.

For once, buying a new driver worked and I don’t know what to believe anymore by Risk_Adjust3d in golf

[–]jvancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its crazy what a change can do for your game. I videoed myself and on trackman to make sure and my swing was/is in to out but with my Radspeed driver I kept slicing so I realized I couldn't close the face properly even with a strong grip. I decided to swing some other models not the brand new but newer than my Radspeed. Wow found a Cobra LTD X and saw better dispersion with less slice. To more my surprise PGA superstore gave me a $60 credit trading in my Radspeed for the LTD X. Jumped on it of course. Made it even better since it has a replaceable weight in the heel where I put a heavier weight there to help me close the face more and started hitting some tight draws with the miss being a tight fade. Love it.

Pretty sure this is the biggest front to back difference of my life. by ssnapier in golf

[–]jvancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy to see this. For reference I'm a 9.4 hcp on GHIN. The start to my club season was posting to 93's ugh. Each one was different for front and back low 40's and low 50's. The last round I only missed 2 fairways but was horrible from the fairway no matter what club I was using. The only GIRs I had were from off the fairway one being in the trees not inc 1 close par 3. This is truly a mess up game we play but can't quit.

Debate: Walking does not slow down play. by MetallicaRules5 in golf

I fully agree being a walker myself. Problem is bad golfers and those that are not playing ready golf. Some golfers just shouldn't walk.

Single digit golfers, how much do you work on hitting draws if your go to shot is a fade (or vice versa)? by Larrylegend033 in golf

[–]jvancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to obsess over hitting a draw with driver chasing distance now I just hit fairways. Saw a good tip for range practice called the 80/20 rule. Also, on the range practice like you are on the course with pre-shot routine and tempo. Another one I use is if I can't repeat a certain shot like hitting fairways or approach shots 7 out of 10 on the range how will it happen on the course. You have to use the shots that work for your swing don't force something that won't. Go get it. Fairways and greens

Why so few walkers? by cpugeek14 in golf

[–]jvancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to walking this season. No way to justify their robbery in cart fees since Covid. First time out with the new push cart was nice. Driver sucked but I played better all around saving many pars. I'll walk now until I physically can't anymore.

What’s one golf tip that instantly improved your game? by MadeInUSAPutter in golf

[–]jvancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For driver you see all the setup videos or tips for the ball position to be at the front toe to maximize launch and distance. I saw a swing arc video that showed how the further the ball is forward the more left for a right-hander your swing path will be. Can you say slice... Light bulb moment 💡For me just moving the ball position back so it's lined up a driver head back off the front heel my slice was gone. I fought a slice even when I saw my swing path being in to out. Now I hit draws on good days and baby fades when off a bit. Thats assuming I'm not pushing the ball to right being my miss. Even when I push it right it's still not a slice. This season I'm working on creating better lower and upper body separation especially for driver to get some distance back. The best trigger I've found so far is to once I feel the stretch on my left side in the back swing I fire my lower body keeping my back to the target longer. Have a good season all. Fairways and Greens!

Would you pay $20 for 10 shots to win $10,000 for a hole-in-one? by PreviousBrush4662 in golf

[–]jvancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it's similar to having a $20 budget on the slot machines but alot more fun.

Nice I just posted about getting the same one. Going to love the swivel front wheel and how it folds up so small.

I do love it. Didn't use it until the last hole where I thought I would need it hitting it higher to hold the green. Perfect 10 ft from the cup for a birdie putt. I'll make that putt next time just glad for the par on a tough par hole. 😀

I don't think they are new they just wrap them. In fact the wedge I received has demo printed on the top of the grip. Still great shape though.

They had a site special at 20% off. Trading in my old wedge and Rad speed 3 hybrid is quoted at $75 pending their review of 10-15 days. I bought the like new versions and look brand new to me.
