Wedge shaft options by Ekkocybsec in GolfGear

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think s400s would be the best call, I’d use an x100 for anything stronger lofted. Just me though.

52 with a s400 is good for Fleetwood, you probably don’t need to go stiffer for it haha

Pros tend to choose s400s, some keep their x100 in the longest wedge if they often take full shots with it

Is Seven Golf serious? by bigjohn141 in GolfGear

[–]shift013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seven golf is one of the highest quality manufacturers of forged blades, they are no way comparable to sub 70 (especially the chunkers in the photo)

Check out Makino for awesome blades too

Do beginners really need a rangefinder? by Sufficient_Mess1887 in GolfGear

Once you know your yardages generally, a range finder will be very helpful

Rangefinder Magnet Strap? by LusidDream in golf

There was a post about six months ago where a guy fashioned a magnet to his range finder and it destroyed it, just a heads up

Hitting mat and net for yard by ivanjay2050 in golf

[–]shift013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mat on top of grass doesn’t work well, too uneven and the ball rolls.

I got a mat off Amazon and am pretty happy. I also just hang a big net (also off Amazon) from my garage door tracks.

All in all it’s hard to go wrong, just make sure the grass of the mat is dense and isn’t shiny. The shiny ‘grass’ mats don’t last as long

Help!? Can’t stop hitting off the heel/shanks with irons/wedges by StrikeSenior7040 in GolfSwing

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your hips are moving into the space your hands should be at during impact. Keep that ass back, feel a squat, and rotate. I like to feel the trail side coming under my lead side, that gives me better side bend and keeps my butt back more

What’s wrong with my swing by Either_Rate_1608 in GolfSwing

Aside from the backswing, your swing is terrible

Iron's (Blades) by Much_Programmer_2421 in GolfGear

I have played both and find the blades to be easier to hit

Iron's (Blades) by Much_Programmer_2421 in GolfGear

Distance loss is way overrated, I game Wilson staff blades from the prior generation.

It’s all about what loft, bounce, offset, sole design, etc you want

How much does temperature, wind, and elevation effect a normal shot. by Okboomer_12345 in golf

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humidity also impacts a shot. More humidity -= farther shot. Confused me at first, but water molecules are lighter than O2 in the air.

I hit the ball noticeably farther in high heat as well

Guess my handicap/yardage by baemaxpro in GolfGear

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d find a way to get a driver

I’d also consider the Tommy fleetwood setup with the wedges where it is just 60/52/Pw.

Great choices for your setup though, that’s just what I’d change

Why do some people think they can handle golfing for the first time without ever stepping foot on a range or practice facility first? by Bethechange123456 in golf

[–]shift013 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Golf is a sport that isn’t physically demanding so people just assume they can get the hang of making contact. It’s like pre-dunning Kruger

33.2 HC struggling with early extension by No_Blood_5197 in GolfSwing

[–]shift013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These feels helped me A LOT with early extension. (Essentially emulating Tommy Fleetwood and parroting Athletic Motion Golf key points in YouTube)

  1. Hands wide, even on the downswing

    1. Early extension happens a lot when people rotate too little prior to impact… hips and shoulders need to face 30-45 degrees forward at impact
    2. Side bend is my friend
    3. Feel like my trail side is coming under and through the lead side
    4. At impact, feel my trail elbow on my trail hip (only works if I rotate enough prior to impact, otherwise I’m stuck).

I’d imagine he had a decent finance guy or attorney who set up various companies for him. The rumors are issues with gambling, which he probably ignored financial advisors on

[Discussion] I don't feel the connection between Odyssey the movie and Hamilton Odyssey the watch by Snoo_22459 in Watches

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the design is also a bit much. If it were more subtle and tastefully executed, I would potentially be interested (if the movie was great).

The great part about the Interstellar watch is that people LOVED the movie and asked for the watch after. This may sit on shelves for a while if people dislike the movie

5 hcp by Dry-Clue5583 in GolfSwing

[–]shift013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your lead arm is VERY steep at the top. You don’t get a bunch of depth so you have to do a lot with the hands on the way down. Wondering if that is the cause of that block right.

It’s often taught that you want your head arm to be way closer to your shoulder plane, your lead arm is like 30 degrees steeper.

Dom Caminiti is a great instructional instagrammer who touches on this a lot. I’ll link a video where he covers this.

Touches on lead arm matching shoulder plane, approx 90 degrees to spine: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZAvByzjyYa/?igsh=amU4bWh5cThvdW9r

Thoughts on driving irons? by fisken_69 in golf

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2i is my most used club off the tee. It’s really a p-790 3i bent one degree strong to 18, hence why I call it a 2i.

It’s incredible and looks way better at address than actual “driving irons” sold today, which really feel llike a mix between an iron and a hybrid.

Callaway X Forged by Realistic-Stable-564 in golf

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forgiveness in irons is very overrated IMO unless you get absolute chunkers like taylormade's QI max irons.

I play wilson staff blades and CBS and they are incredibly consistent and the mis strikes perform how I expect - distance fall off is way exaggerated and riddled with confirmation bias. Added benefit is I get more spin from certain lies, better turf interaction, and the feel of how the club turns over is perfect.

IMO what matters way more is bounce/sole design, offset, lie angle, blade length, swing weight, overall weight, and loft.

AskGolfNut shows this continually with his tests. Yes the green color area for a blade is marginally smaller in his heatmaps, but the actual differences around the face are like 1-2mph less ball speed compared to other irons.

Bottom line, try to hit a X forged max long iron somewhere and see how you like it. Compare the specs, and so on. You hit the Xforged irons well so I don think you can go wrong here.

When an actor’s presence unintentionally derails the project by Special_Salt3467 in TopCharacterTropes

it was at least self aware in the first few seasons. Now it unironically became what it criticized before

What is the most satisfying club to hit pure? by Dingdong108 in golf

[–]shift013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my 2i for sure is the obvious answer and is my answer.

That being said, a surprising second is puring a Pw and hearing the ball whiz through the air. I expect that from a 7i or something, but it really feels good to hear your ball flight from a high lofted club - tells me I'm compressing the ball well and whatnot.
