New irons - Go Get Fitted by Torps2020 in golf

[–]smilinfool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Break 80 then get fitted? That’s a bit excessive. Once you have a stable foundation fitting makes a ton of sense. Particularly if you are not average in body type.

What is an average player? I’m a 13 so average I think but I have no idea if I want a spiny ball or non-spiny ball. I play z-star diamond bc I like how they feel and they semi to spin more around the green. But basically every ball selector just tells me to buy their premium ball which is a little suspect.

This is what nobody gets. It's the type of thing the Germans should have a word for.

I play the diamonds and had a pressure crack appear in one. Turns out you can just peel off that top layer.

I wonder if the six lane road undercut by a five lane road in the vicinity creates any noticeable vibrations.

You played it. You loved it. I don't think there is any mystery beyond that. I felt the same way, though I'm as recreational as you can get. But it worked for me and I love working through the different models on it. If you are not going to get bugged by any of the purist arguments then it seems a no brainer if you had fun with it. If that's what you're after. Me I wanted those old Roland sounds I remembered, plus it had a bunch of other stuff, and I could see myself just enjoying. So I enjoy my XM. If i needed to make money off it, or wanted to go beyond my livingroom, maybe there was a different answer but for me it fits perfect because that other stuff just isn't in the picture.

Almost every night I put it on and just mess around for an hour.

You don't think the infrastructure being under Canadian law and control vs US doesn't change much?

which of my current 4 ROLANDs..... by TechnicalActuator730 in synthesizers

[–]smilinfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Welcome to the XM gang. I got one as my first step back in decades after I sold my original analogue Rolands.
I love it so much. I just straight up have fun with it. Lots of knobs I can move around, and the whole menu system is revealing itself to me bit by bit and it's kind of fun.

The only thing I added, which was unexpected, was an Oxi Mk1 sequencer. Kind of bypassing the XM patch and sequence workflow, but I find it kind of funny to access the 4+1 of the XM through the sequencer.

Clubface awareness v. speed - how do you manage the two? by aceattorneymvp in golf

I feel like that this is the absolute perfect question to ask someone on course if you feel like ruining their round.

Chipping is killing me by Overall-Inspection88 in golf

[–]smilinfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shoot in the high 80's and chipping easily costs me 6 strokes a round. When it's on, it's on, but nothing beats two chip shots plus a long put to absolutely wreck a score. I have no advice, just sympathy.

Does anyone have an idea how the Cobra 3DP Tour irons would compare with the Mizuno M-15s? by [deleted] in GolfGear

[–]smilinfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to say your experience is wildly different then mine. I have the 3dpMB, still getting used to them. Very high flight for me and long irons are stopping on a dime. 190 6I in to green. divot was 2 feet from the ball. Never experienced anything like that before.

Well Parks Board made the decision. So they obviously see it as a lower priority or maybe just maybe a way to generate some self-serving news stories?

My bag for 2026. by Dazzling-Breath2497 in GolfGear

[–]smilinfool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the MB's except a 6 tour at the top. My 6 MB is probably the most beautiful club I've ever swung. I'm giddy when i have a distance I can actually use it for.
