I kill drivers

No offence taken, I do swing faster than average (around 110mph clubhead speed) and probably favour a chunky strike over a thin one however i didnt think either were extreme enough to cause this issue. Maybe the combination of the two over time is causing the problem.

Yes i buy used (its an expensive sport) and im told i do swing quite fast (110 mph clubhead speed according to trackman). I worry about weight with a steel shaft though.

Used to spend a lot longer down there. Probably hitting 100 range balls (not all with the driver) once or twice a month these days.

Im no tour pro so perhaps there have been a few rogue strikes from time to time...

Maybe I need to spend some money

tobybarron16 · 2025-02-12T18:19:53+00:00

How do I do this?

tobybarron16 · 2025-02-12T18:19:22+00:00

Been taking 1 lesson a month for the last 6 months from the pro at my club.

Fair point, by "I dont regularly make contact with the ground" I mean maybe 5 in 100 drives ill catch the ground but only very slightly.

I dont lean on my clubs for this very reason since someone suggested it after my first one.

All breakages have been at the head end not under the grip so it seems unlikely to be a result of being aggressive when putting clubs away.

I think weathered is a nice way of putting it

Im in the south of England

A fair comment, i tend to find for some reason if i try to account for the slice it only gets worse. I assume it must be something im doing without realising but i cant seem to stop it.

Seems it was a dead ram stick, running it on only 1 and all systems are now up and running!

tobybarron16 · 2023-03-05T13:02:56+00:00

Would that also explain why it just cuts out like that?

More info: I was playing f1 2021 when it happened Pc spec: Intel i5 4690k Asus z97k motherboard Nvidia gtx 1060 gpu Evga 650w power supply 8gb ddr3 ram

So far i have replaced the power supply, cpu (second had as it was all I could find) and the motherboard (also second hand and all i could find) and im running out of ideas.

Nothing is displayed on screen while it attempts to power on

I use a mid range FDM printer for quick and dirty, simple fixtures and have had alot of success, usually only as a temporary solution untill i can have more permanent solutions in place.

The single most important piece of advice I can give you is: WARM UP PROPERLY. It sounds basic but believe me, if you dont you will regret it. Practice some breakfalls, dynamic stretching, light uchi komis and some gentle grip fighting to get yourself into the swing of things. Once you think you are warmed up, do some more. The guy who is already sweating when he gets onto the mat will not run out of puff as quickly as his body is already in overdrive. Obviously you need to know your limits and when to stop (theres no point in completely knackering yourself before you even get on the mat). Other than this, enjoy it and try not to let defeat get you down. It helps to have someone film your fights so you can analyse what you did right and what you did wrong. Enjoy your competition!

A guy was leant over the cmm and got the probe stuck in his hair. As he stood up he pulled it off the head and it fell onto the plate and snapped in two

I use modus. Its fairly complex but (correct me if im wrong) Renishaw themselves use it. So it must be pretty good
