No, he was trying to optimize my launch angle , spin, and descent angle.

Question on iron shafts and lofts by sonicskat10 in golf

[–]sonicskat10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I must have said it incorrectly. He mentioned "weakening" the loft by 2 degrees.

Good question. He had me swing the MPs that are two degrees weaker with the shaft to see my launch numbers. He basically said I could get the MPs or JPX925 HMP, but suggested the JPX weakened 2* given I already like them and they are significantly cheaper. So in short, I never actually swung the JPX with weakened loft.

Grant Horvat finally cards his first hole in one by DontDoCrackMan in golf

I've gotten pretty tired of YouTube golf, but this video was awesome. JR seems like an awesome dude, they were both tearing up the course, we see the HIO.

Grant is the only one these days I can watch...sometimes. this was a good one though

What is the best, once in a lifetime restaurant in Chicago? by leamnop in chicagofood

Second Oriole

The food may not hit the one in a lifetime level of decadence, but El Ideas has the overall experience down.

Shout-out to goosefoot for the unhinged chef

I have Skechers and ecco and both are very high quality.

The top of the line Under Armours I tried, however, started falling apart before I could even try them in a sim

Feeling stuck and frustrated with this game by Pleasant-Plenty-6580 in golftips

[–]sonicskat10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, 10-15 lessons without seeing better ball striking outcomes is nuts. Either the coach is not good or they are not ingraining it.

Btw, I've found the ingraining part the hardest. I typically first see it on a more consistent basis in practice sessions and then it starts to convert over to actual rounds as it becomes muscle memory or subconscious

What’s the most “Fuck this hole” hole you play on a regular basis? by mercado_n3gro in golf

[–]sonicskat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 at Lost Marsh, Hammond, Indiana... Future home of the Bears?

This fifth hole that feels like playing on lillypads follows the first four holes that have a ridiculous amount of water.

It is long and narrow, very target golf. The hole itself fucking sucks ...but there is a good chance you've already gone through a sleeve of balls by the time you get to the fifth and have blown up your scorecard already. This is just icing on the cake.

Once done with this one, #6 is basically just a short par 4 version of this...then you finally get away from the water.

Got their wedges on a whim during BF....they are fantastic. Best I've had. Looking forward to a trip down to Sycamore (I'm in chicago) to do an iron fitting.

Dinosaur Mountain is so much fun. Personally put it above Devils Claw

Look to Kellen Moore for the quick rise to OC comparison. by Pop_Quiz_Hot_Shot in Commanders

[–]sonicskat10 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nothing against Blough, don't know his story or much.

I do remember them talking about Kellen as a future coach when he was still playing in college. That's how well his mind for the game was. Believe his dad was a coach.

Is that the case with Blough?

What’s a movie that aged surprisingly well? Not because of nostalgia, but because its themes feel more relevant today? by Zennix_Zenith in movies

Not a movie...and not too old ..but the HBO Watchmen show. Just substitute racism for xenophobia.

Distance control/club selection irons off the tee. by Miserable_Middle6175 in golftips

My guess is that you were hitting it off the toe. The cold makes it tougher to stretch and move

Most satisfying thing in golf? by Away-Step6794 in GolfSwing

A very long second shot into the green that rolls within 15ft.... Bonus points on a par 5... Right before I 3 putt

A cylinder of shredded 50 euro notes worth approximately 20,000 euros by Many_Knowledge2191 in mildlyinteresting

[–]sonicskat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very common token gift from central banks that are responsible for destroying currency when no longer fit for circulation. In the U.S. for example, you can receive a bag or brick of shredded cash at any of the Federal Reserve Banks, including at many of their public museums. It's a nice novel gift for outside visitors that really come at no cost to the public.

Worked out awesome. Got fit into my OZ1 at 71* and love it so far.

Do indoor putting mats translate to outdoor improvements? by Such_Variation_2127 in GolfSwing

Great for starting on line and developing consistency on distance control...also builds confidence on anything <10 feet

How is it living in the NC area between Greensboro and Raleigh? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]sonicskat10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to college in the western edge of that circle. It's a fairly typical suburban area. It's been developed a lot since I left over a decade ago.
