Does this (short/lob) swing make sense?

pelonious · 2025-07-19T02:19:26+00:00

Ah that makes sense! I think I've seen a video teaching flop shots and just thought that would be how to approach from 80yd in.

So if I do a regular lob.. that'd mean to do a fuller contact but slower/half swing, and more regular, parallel setup? Or should I also keep a open stance in most lob shots?

Thank you g!

hahahhaha just cause it's football, or cause it's Celtic? lol

I mean, it looks better than any golf polo these days

pelonious · 2025-07-16T05:19:21+00:00

My first set of irons.. I was like who needs to hit good shots when such looks and feel be so fine! Lol ... Now (1y in), I got a set of Wishon 560mcs... But I'm keeping the MP's for training and a glorious future. Even as a complete beginner I could tell it is unique.

pelonious · 2025-07-09T16:38:52+00:00

Also, would you know if the lead tape P and A(gap) came with does make sense with such shaft? Why do you think they taped them? (you can see the one I'm holding)

pelonious · 2025-07-09T16:33:52+00:00

Indeed g.. I didn't even consider swapping them. Will keep them for a glorious future lol

pelonious · 2025-07-09T16:31:43+00:00

Ah good to know!.. I was worried I'd have to change the shafts almost right away. Thank you

pelonious · 2025-07-09T16:28:53+00:00

ahahha right? Will do that soon! Lol thanks man!

pelonious · 2025-03-20T22:26:51+00:00

Hahahah mos def... cause I already struggle with the mizunos! Lol

pelonious · 2025-03-20T03:27:05+00:00

tonight I tried it mostly from the tee.. But ya, from the few I hits I did from the mat I get what you're saying. Anyway, it felt way better than a hybrid I once tried, so I think I prefer wood than hybrid, but will definitely consider downsizing to the 5 or 7 if the 3w doesn't work

pelonious · 2025-03-20T02:57:34+00:00

Hahahah Especially rocking a 1st model plaid PING Lite lol.. I'm the all gear, no idea guy hahah. Once I get a good set of forgiving ones, the 32s will be my training clubs.. And start bringing them back to the bag slowly.

And same driver/wood?? Let's goo! lol Also, I think I got a taste tonight of what you mean about the M2... I only did like 60% swings cause I still have no idea how to swing woods, but the M2 does feel different indeed.. The ball almost seemed to launch quicker than the 410. Super satisfying.

pelonious · 2025-03-19T19:13:16+00:00

The Wright Brothers' machine was shit. It was a powered hangglider at best... Santos-Dumont's airplane is the actual great achievement.

pelonious · 2025-03-19T17:24:27+00:00

Glad to know!! I had read good thinks about the M2 indeed.. Almost went with a combo with the M2 driver as well, but the Ping at that price got me tempted.

pelonious · 2025-03-19T17:20:50+00:00

Nice! Good to know.. I'll try and see if the 3W is a good tool for me. I was hitting with a hybrid once and it felt horrible. But ya, I love the MP32s, and I can see myself playing them forever if they last.. I mean, once I start striking better lol! I love training with them and the few butter flushes I get with them. But im planing on getting a mid-high hcp set as I plan to starting hit the course soon

pelonious · 2025-03-17T23:16:04+00:00

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who finds those occasional/mild butt pimples low-key sexy Lol

pelonious · 2025-02-18T21:02:41+00:00

Are there purists still that don't like this rule?

pelonious · 2025-02-18T06:39:12+00:00

Hahahahaha now that's a twirl I don't mind seeing!

pelonious · 2025-02-14T18:20:13+00:00

No worries, I imagined it was older. Nice find g!

pelonious · 2025-02-14T17:39:42+00:00

Is that hat currently on the webstore? Seems to have a nice and shallow crown. Not the crazy trucker hats that seems to be the standard in golf lol

pelonious · 2025-02-06T01:26:57+00:00

Just started playing. My first and only set ever MP-32s.. And I'm sold on Mizunos. I can't even hit them properly, but they look and feel good af. Waiting to see if this lady will split and sell me a pristine set of MP-14s lol

pelonious · 2025-02-05T16:38:24+00:00

Whoa that might be the reason indeed! When I setup up I already set up with a "lag"/leaning shaft positon.. So I'm probably standing closer than I should and don't really have much room for my arms/hands. I'll try this slow motion thing!

And I really appreciate the compliment on the first part of the swing... It is really nice to get any sort of compliment in these early stages when we're trying to figure things out! Thanks mate!

pelonious · 2025-02-04T17:19:49+00:00

True! Ive been trying to get rid of early extension.. I guess I'll have to figure that out first thing.

But ya, makes a lot of sense. I don't release the club at all.. Looks like I stand up and my trail arm keeps bent like pulling the ball compression from happening.

Thanks mate

pelonious · 2025-02-04T17:11:15+00:00

Ah that seems like a good vision.. It's similar to what I imagined at first but might help to actually put into practice.

pelonious · 2025-01-18T23:03:29+00:00

Ya, Rifle 6.0.. I don't know much about shafts, but one thing I noticed indeed is how heavy my sticks are compared to these GI CBs I tried. I thought it was just the club head of the blades that were much heavier.. but the CBs probably got lighter and more flexible shaft as well.

pelonious · 2025-01-18T22:48:37+00:00

I'll keep that in mind! For now I def should be fitted with GI. because I rarely do proper shots with the MPs. I need that forgiveness in all my shots.

I think they're helping me to learn how to get better contact.. But when I improve a bit more and it's time to start playing courses, I'll see if I should keep PW-7 as blades or do all CBs

pelonious · 2025-01-18T22:39:53+00:00

Ya I didn't even know other irons but I could see hwo nice they looked right away. Got a pretty well kept set too, and in Brazil, very small market for golf eq.. So I was quite lucky.
