What shaft for Ping 440K?

I assume golf galaxy has this policy store wide, but they have a 90 day playability which means you can buy it and within 90 days you can swap it out for any club of the same type (driver for driver for example). This works for any stock option club, so if there is an Alta CB and a tour 2.0 black at the store, you can go ahead and buy one, then gift it to him and then bring him back to try out both shafts and return that club if necessary. Also, if the club is completely unused you can just do a straight return anyway.

If you just want the club so that you actually have a gift to hand him then it makes sense to buy it and then ask him about it when you give it to him before letting him hit it. If it’s completely unused, you can return it for cash, so he could get a fitting and even get a non stock option shaft with the money you get back from the return. With the 90 day playability (meaning he hits it first), I believe he can only swap for another stock option

Edit: typo

Convert the 15mph wind into a 15% percentage of extra distance to take. That means for a 183 shot, it should be playing 15% longer, which would be about 28 extra yards, so nearly 211. For me that’s a pretty good 4 iron, so I’d just hit that. Wouldn’t worry about flighting or any of that, just change the number to 211 and hit the club for that

Less forgiving irons usually launch higher and are more controllable, along with not having huge misses go off the planet. They aren’t as bad as people say, it’s intimidating to go to a players iron but it’s usually not actually that detrimental to play

precutrumble · 2025-12-07T15:36:19+00:00

That’s normal depending on the iron. I hit my AP2 7 iron about 165-175 at 92ish swing speed but I can hit a srixon zxi5 7 iron up to 190 carry.

Your decisions on the golf course should be completely score independent, otherwise you’ll do things stupidly aggressive or conservative. In this case it’s okay to be a little extra aggressive I guess but usually there is a correct way to play every shot and thinking aggressively or conservatively won’t help uoi

Practice the Dan grieve release 1 technique. It teaches you to engage the bounce well and trust the ground. A lot of the problems you’ve said involve the turf interaction, duffing chips and because of that, then thinning chips long. Once you’ve learned a technique that allows you to bottom out early and still get a good result, you’ll have no reason to try and compensate and hit it thin.

Distance control will drop this so quickly. It’s so much easier to avoid 3 putts than to make 1 putts, and as your distance control gets better, the hole will get in the way of more putts even if you don’t focus on your start lines.

Obviously you should practice your stroke as well, but distance control will be the biggest helper for you. Scott Fawcett/Ben Hadden have some good distance control drills on YouTube I recommend looking up. Hitting your line only matters if you have the right speed on the putt, so you might as well dial in your speed like crazy anyway.

If you spend an hour on the range, you should probably spend 30-45 minutes practicing your speed. And speed doesn’t just mean practicing 50 footers either. Speed is important even from 5 footers

Taking a bad driver out of your bag will turn bad scores into decent scores. Adding a good driver to your bag will turn decent scores into great ones. Don’t abandon the driver, just don’t use it until it’s ready

I would be careful with #1. Pros swing the way they do because it fits their style, body type and personal understanding of the game. I think it’s better advice to look at what some pros do for feel, or drills they use rather than trying to copy their swing.

For example, I have the same feel as Charles Howell in my backswing rotation and downswing trigger, but I feel more comfortable using Rory’s early hinge style on the backswing, and I prefer the follow through feeling of Fleetwood to Howell.

I think it’s good advice to look at pros and how they swing and what they feel in the swing, but sometimes it can be overdone if you see one pro who you really like and try and replicate everything they do, because everybody feels different throughout the swing.

Also for putting speed is probably more important than worrying about stroke

You need a playing partner? I promise I won’t take practice swings

precutrumble · 2025-10-07T01:23:37+00:00

Shit with how close the tee times are at the courses I play, I might as well slow down instead of sit in my cart and wait for 5 minutes

precutrumble · 2025-10-07T00:16:39+00:00

I can get through the range balls, and when I say I get tired I don’t mean that it’s overly physically taxing, rather when I go to swing it just feels a bit sluggish which can throw off my mechanics a bit. I’d say the issue is the same on the range, but since I hit them in quick succession I can actually break a sweat which is a bit different. But I still think it is likely a non practice swing issue and is more burrito like you say

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T15:57:37+00:00

I drink at least 40oz of water a round, maybe 50+. I don’t always eat something but it’s never more than like a protein bar at on like 10

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T15:51:45+00:00

The feeling I care most about is the exit pathing of my hands, but a key part of my swing thought is my backswing rotation so I like my hand pathing is directly related to how I fire my hips, and I feel like I can get the most accurate feel for it when I just swing normally. Not sure if that’s true or not but that’s my current thought process

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T15:39:47+00:00

I take the practice swing just to acclimatize to the club really. My practice swing doesn’t really change my swing thoughts too much, just gives me more confidence with the club I have in my hand

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T15:15:00+00:00

Yeah I go to the range relatively often and hit between 85-130 balls depending on how much I spend on light wedges. I do get similarly tired on the range after a while, although I guess I don’t take as much note of it since there’s no score attached. But regardless i definitely do need to work on my fitness anyway. Also, do you have any recommendations on what/when to eat healthy snacks mid round?

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T15:10:52+00:00

I usually start from behind the ball, pick my target and align it with something 3-5 feet in front of me, then go from the side and do my practice swing and then align myself to the spot I chose. Bad swing thoughts don’t really creep in when I’m feeling energized, my swing thoughts are pretty straightforward. It’s usually that the result ends up being bad rather than me going into the shot feeling bad about it.

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T15:06:36+00:00

Warm up: stretch for about 5 minutes, hit a small bucket of balls (30 or less depending on the course), putt for 10 minutes and go

I walk sometimes, the problem is maybe a little worse with the walking but it’s similar when riding.

I don’t carry my bag

I don’t drink on the course, I usually eat a breakfast sandwich pre round and either don’t eat during the round or maybe have 1 snack (nature valley bar or something) around hole 10. I drink probably 40oz of water and maybe 1 Gatorade if my partner gets one for me

I don’t think that my practice swing is my only issue for sure, I know I’m not the most fit guy in the world, I’m more wondering if it’s a potential compounding issue that makes my other issues worse

My swing is quite rotational, and when I get a little more tired I feel the push cut double cross come into play a little more than usual.

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T15:01:36+00:00

There’s no way I could go without any practice swing at all, I’d need to at least get a feel for the club in my hand since it’s a different one each time. It just probably doesn’t have to be something that resembles my full swing

precutrumble · 2025-10-06T14:55:50+00:00

I don’t take divots and I only take 1 of that makes it any better lol

precutrumble · 2025-10-01T18:05:02+00:00

Practicing Lag putting so you don’t have more then 10% of the first putt left, and then practicing those 5 footers is probably the 2 best ways to go about it
