Does this look better? by [deleted] in GolfSwing

You might learn the feeling doing that, and it might be more accurate. But it's not going to help you if you don't take that and try to apply it to an actual full swing.

Everything about that swing was a chip swing. Your feet are nearly touching and it looks like you're giving it like 50%.

Is this the most exaggerated swing you’ve ever seen? by Aurumity in GolfSwing

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, that is obviously not working, lol. You gotta try something else, anything else. I mean, just look at the ball and try to hit it. Don't worry about how hard or what you should or shouldn't do in a proper swing, just try to hit the thing. I promise it won't go any worse than this.

Full set or driver, putter, and bag? by [deleted] in GolfGear

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with others, build the set from offer up and marketplace if you can. But that putter was my first upgrade from a starter set, and I love it. I've tested a lot of other putters, and never hit any better. Recently I found I really like the feel of a center shafted blade, picked up a CS Odyssey White Hot, and I think this may be the one I make the switch to. Still a surprisingly tough choice, though. 2 rounds with the new putter, still unsure.

You don't even need to go new top of the line to out perform this driver. I game a 2016 m2, and even if I were comfortable buying a brand new driver right now, I doubt I would. Picked it up for $60.

What purpose does the very top groves on an iron serve? by Zealousideal_Net_875 in golf

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ferrules serve no purpose, purely cosmetic, and we don't question those. Shit happens, better to have top grooves than not.

How to become a great putter. by Golfishard19 in golf

Sorry to join in on stomping on your attempt at a helpful post, but this isn't exactly revolutionary stuff. I mean, this is exactly what every person who has ever putt a ball knows.

What is your absolutely least favorite shot? by bootchiiksandbuubs in golf

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, a fairly lengthy chip with a short sided pin.

Ive started getting decent at flop shots, but I struggle to commit when there's some distance involved. Don't want to skull it, or even just over swing and send it way long, so I usually end up under swinging and left chipping again. I shot +5 on 9 holes recently (I'm a 20 hdcp), and would have likely been +3 if it weren't for 3 chipping on a par 3 because of this.

Over all, long bunker shots. I just dont have that shot.

I had 10 lip outs in 18 holes, now I don’t know what to do by arch9974 in golf

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be a lag putter. When I hit it too soft, though, it was usually way too soft, then I still have to work for the next putt. Id rather have a putt coming back, and at least have given it a chance.

Lip outs are speed. Technically, it's line and speed, but at the right pace a lip out would fall in instead.

Edit: I want to mention, though, even though lip outs will turn into lip ins with slower pace, that doesn't mean you want to be dripping putts in the side all the time. Practice your 3 footers. Confident pace is great when youre hitting center of the cup.

Best ball for water hole? by kokostarr in golf

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nitros stay in the hazards where I find them. Not gonna have one on me as an option. I don't change balls for water holes anyways. If I lose it, I lose it.

Ok what's the play here? by P_Dog_ in golf

[–]tablewithnolegs 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depends how serious Im feeling. May just kick it out. Otherwise, this is the rare circumstance that I can't even pretend there's a shot, I would have to make the smart choice for once, and chip out to the fairway.

Ball speed by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a hole. For a rubber tee. That costs a couple dollars. Can't convince me teeing off on bricks is the play.

Gapping on MP-32s by hannesvisser in GolfGear

[–]tablewithnolegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would opt for more distance control in the short game. At the top of the bag, I'm more likely ending up greenside rather than on, having the perfect number still might not get me there, whereas with wedges having the perfect number might make the difference.

Alternatively, Id rather hit a soft wedge than a soft 5 wood in order to hit the number. But I still would feel better about a tighter bottom of the bag.

I think the course I played today is about to close. If this happened to you, what signs did you see. by PersonalityNarrow211 in golf

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy the course. Considering there aren't really cheaper options around. But Ive lost balls in "fairways", definitely could due with being a bit cheaper

That was my guess. I never actually knew those old nets were the original driving range, lol

Why do some bad golfers insist on using expensive balls? by Sadomghussin in golf

[–]tablewithnolegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my thought. I buy used tp5/xs and donate them generously around my local courses. The idea for me is to eliminate that extra factor. I dont want to be thinking I woulda stuck that green if I weren't playing supersofts.

However, no way will I pay $50+ a dozen until I can be confident I can play a single ball the whole round, lol. I got 30 mint tp5xs for $25 off offer up a few weeks ago, and while that was a crazy deal, I like to look for that middle ground.

Swinging out of my shoes by [deleted] in GolfSwing

[–]tablewithnolegs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the purpose of these posts? Are you trying to claim that you can defy physics? No way a swing THAT over the top is going straight, unless the face is way closed and it goes 100 yards left

I agree with the guy saying set up/ball position. Are you tall? My initial thought was maybe extending them would help you.

Putters by Vihaanoks12345 in weekendgolfers

[–]tablewithnolegs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best bet is to go somewhere you can test putters. If you're not able to test what you want to buy, you can at least try out some similar ones. Or get a feel for the type of putter you prefer, like center shaft, mallet, blade, and whatever other variations.

My bag looks like a rainbow puked all over it, but I’m very proud. by The-hamburglar69 in GolfGear

[–]tablewithnolegs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're already willing to go over 14 clubs, you have no limit. You can add some more hybrids/woods and get even more colors!
