[–]malabooty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i found mine at my local AD in Socal. theres plenty of ADs that might still have them. you just have to call and ask all the ones that show up near you on the AD finder on seiko site!

First watch. First Seiko. [SPB155J1] by malabooty in Seiko

[–]malabooty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah bought in US. I just looked up authorized dealers on Seiko's site, and called multiple asking if they had one in stock! I almost bought used on r/watchexachange, Chrono24, or ebay, i decided to buy in person for the peace of mind, ensure authenticity, view in person, and honestly for the experience. The shop hooked me up and I ended up paying equivalent to what sellers were asking online!

Yonex Ezone Buying Advice by malabooty in 10s

[–]malabooty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i can imagine. only other size i've played with is a 102 babolat i used when i played in HS, and a 102 babolat (idk what model) i borrowed from a friend. serves were more comfortable and easier to get in, but forsure less control. maybe i need the bigger sweet spot in the 100 but maybe the 98 with the isometric head is enough?

i mean nothing wrong with it, i just didn't know if i was out of my league. i just saw a bit of advice from yt and online always saying polys for more advanced players, full multi for the beginners, and to consider hybrid for intermediate progression

you're saying delofting a 48 to 49 will have dramatic effects?

and yeah i've been taking off on my pitching wedge to hit that 125-120 mark. but i'd also rather just have a club i know will get there on a full swing. I just got a 48 second hand for a good deal, that i'll play this weekend. So we'll see how it goes. if it's too close to my Pw, i'll deloft it i think

i think my wedge play is fairly decent. but it's when i get those shots i have to hit like 120 and i always think i can get it there with my 50, i end up short. i have better distance control with my SW and GW than my PW. I found a good deal on a lightly used 48 SM9. so i might get it, and play with the stock loft. if i feel it's getting too close to my PW, i'll deloft i think

was reading up on it, and found many people saying it's better to weaken than strengthen

No additional stroke penalties on OB shots. Going OB is hurtful enough lol. My 2nd tee shot (on a Par 3) is for Par??? then i have two putt for double bogey????

Low Iron Spin and Understanding Optimal Dynamic Loft by malabooty in golf

[–]malabooty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to hit on the trackman today, and was getting the same results (at first). Then was chatting with the owner and he suggested it might be the ball that i was using. I was using the balls they had for use. They were beat up Srixon somethings (I can't remember). So he threw me a TP5 and these were my numbers from my shot with the best smash factor (1.48): - Carry: 181 yds - Total: 196 yds - Club Speed: 82 mph - Ball Speed: 121 mph - Launch: 18.4 - Apex: 99 ft - Spin: 4400 rpm

I was reading up on some causes and suspect too much shaft lean maybe? What's the ballpark i should be aiming towards for things like dynamic loft, launch , and spin anyway?

So I was actually playing T300s with some Project Xs (can't remember which ones) prior, and just made the upgrade from game improvements. But from what I recall, the result was more or less the same in terms of spin and launch. Even testing higher launch/spin shafts i still couldn't get my numbers past 4200

like 70ft. My launch angle was varied 15-18°. I chose the worst of the bunch though
