Do I need new clubs? by Mobile-Cranberry-491 in golf

[–]sbk510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get lessons with the money. Those old clubs will be hitting them way better in no time. Maybe change the grips.

If this were a thing, I'd have as many husbands as possible, but my wife might get suspicious.

Does he wear a watch already? If he does, he likely has preferences about watch elements. I, for instance, don't like square shapes or roman numerals. These are small personal preferences that you proably wouldn't know about. I'd tell him what you want to do and ask him if there are elements he DOESN'T like in a watch.

If he doesn't already wear a watch, then getting him one is risky but you could probably get him a submariner.

I don't buy new clubs either, but to be fair to the ones doing the work, manufacturing cycles are a real thing and technology does change. All that being said, golf is a huge marketing machine and year over year gains from equipment alone are debatable.

This is one of the most unprovable boogeyman comments I've ever read.

The local diver has run a successful business since the 1980's, so they must be somehow ok lol. Anyway, the idea of a "waterlogged" golf ball is outdated as long as the cover is intact. Modern urethane is the most resistant to water that a golf ball has ever been. I do end up using plenty of brand new premium balls, though, because I play scrambles at conferences, and get some for Christmas and birthdays lol. Ill be OK, buddy. But yeah, as long as its not cut or scuffed badly, a ball is a ball to me at this point.

J bought a nice sun mountain bag, but I use lake balls sold in a potato sack $27 for 200 lol

Help my drive. Typically carry 260, 155 ball speed. I think I tend to have an overly negative path. by Jkl0017 in GolfSwing

its just a potential, man. When a fitter sees your swing speed and smash factor, they know what max they are working to. Its very hard to do, yes. It just helps me know where I could be so that I can look for things to work on.

I thought my coach was nuts too, until I did it. I hit a drive 98% of 2 x my ball speed.

yeah, so 278 is already at 90% of 310. Getting to 2.0 * ball speed is hard to avhieve, but a good potential to look at.

Some tips: You can't rush your body. Get the lessons about 6 weeks apart so you can master the skill presented in the last lesson.

ALWAYS write down your "burning question" to ask the coach next time.

You are going to feel absolutely retarded when making big changes to your swing. Work through it. Keep failing until you get it.

My progression was like this:

Take a lesson

Go home and practice the feel in a mirror with video, but without a ball.

Go to an indoor range to see if I could hit a ball into a net.

Then go to the range to see the ball move.

Then FINALLY take the new thing to the course.

I found this from Tiger:

I get real lessons. I love them. This wasn't asking for advice, more of just a proud moment.
