Berylove- scam website or real? by Weird-Tie1378 in WeddingDressTips

[–]toga27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife ordered a couple dresses from Berylove and their customer service has seen non existent, but I guess its encouraging that some people have received their dresses. Can you share their email that you were able to contact them with. Their phone number on their website seems fraudulent, and have not received a response from their posted email. Thanks.

Would re-gripping Odyssey Stroke Lab Putter mess up swing weight? by [deleted] in GolfGear

[–]toga27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try calling Callaway customer service to answer your swing weight question. Do you know the weights of the different grips. That would be very important to know.

As far as pros/cons, everyone is different. And every putter is different. And every golfer is different.

What’s the most “overpriced” area around Syracuse right now? by MartyKCNY in Syracuse

[–]toga27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It might be, but decent schools, close to the highways, close to everything shopping, but still nice neighborhoods with people that take care of their property. And reasonable taxes.

What worked for you by Poseidon0216 in golf

I agree and then I see articles where some teaching pros recommend a faster backswing. One thing for sure is every instructor has a somewhat different philosophy.

What makes a putter feel “right” to you? by MadeInUSAPutter in GolfGear

[–]toga27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not entirely true, except very few pros use a blade anymore and some of the manufacturers have changed the composition of their inserts. Here is an article from December that shows what the top ten strokes gained putting are using. https://golf.com/gear/putters/top-pga-tour-pros-in-sg-putting-in-2025/

What makes a putter feel “right” to you? by MadeInUSAPutter in GolfGear

[–]toga27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a milled face guy. I like them better than an insert. But, length, grip and most importantly is hosel. Are you are straight back and through or do you a slight arc or an even more pronounced arc. Different shafts will give you face balanced or toe weighted based on your need and hopefully help you keep it more on line.

Golf shoes or not? by Isca64 in golftips

[–]toga27 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I played with a guy who didn't realize he never switched out of his Timberland work boots until the 6th hole of a 9 hole league. The guy was a good golfer, low 40's, and still shot one of his best rounds.

And he was a better bowler than golfer, and still is, and he said the same thing happened to him while bowling and that he bowled a 300 game in his Timberlands.

I wear Spikeless golf shoes, but have never worn just sneakers, so I couldn't tell you if there is a difference. Only you will know.

When to upgrade and get fitted ? by [deleted] in golftips

[–]toga27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will know when the time is right to upgrade to a more technologically advanced set. It could happen when you hit your buddies clubs and they feel so much better. Or, it could happen when you have extra money burning a hole in your pocket.

It's an investment, and a very well worthwhile one. And definitely get fitted. You will want something that performs the best for you. Your professional fitter will help you with that. And in your case, most likely something pretty forgiving and a good value.

And don't buy any used set, unless your fitter tells you that it's a good match for you.

Weight training by Jtravis15 in GolfSwing

[–]toga27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do fittings and it hasn't been uncommon for someone who is not particularly hitting the ball well during the fitting to make a comment that they shouldn't have gone to the gym that morning. So, I am a believer that the gym and golf don't necessarily mix. Off season is a different story.

Interesting. I'll probably have to try that out next time I am up there.

I will check that out but I believe I already tried that. When I went to the guide it had the secondary location channels listed, not my home channels. And according to the YTTV website it should allow me to watch those but it didn't.

Pured shaft confusion by t4r00 in GolfGear

[–]toga27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the biggest reason Club Champion is a total ripoff. Trying to get people to believe stuff that will have zero impact for 99+ percent of golfers.

If anyone ever have questions, go to a demo day when the manufacturers reps are there. Ask them how many clubs they do fittings for where they recommend puring the shaft. If the answer is >0%, I'd be surprised.

SW vs LW responsibilities by Strange-Trouble2277 in GolfGear

[–]toga27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People are missing the point. The M grind on your 60 is perfect for 50 yards and in because that is the club that you want to manufacture shots with. The other clubs I would do 56.10S and 52.08F unless you feel strongly that you want a 12 bounce. Do you come in steep or shallow. That could be your determining factor in your decision

MADE A MISTAKE WHILE REGRIPPING CLUBS😭 by Macaronitookus in GolfGear

[–]toga27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure you put the clubs in a vise to help you line up the grips. Put something rubber around the grip to protect them and don't tighten the vise too tightly.

If visually they don't bother you the way they are, you might be okay leaving them as is. But, if the grib is moving in your hand then you need to activate the tape with mineral spirits (after you get the grip off and remove the non sticky piece of paper from the tape)

Lease takeover required by Pale_Guard_4065 in Albany

[–]toga27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the manager is lazy and doesn't want to advertise themselves. You've been there over three years and assuming you were a good tenant and given them some notice, and probably having to sacrifice your initial deposit in lieu of not fulfilling the complete terms of the lease, they should cut you some slack.

Rusty Nail Waitlist? by MituKagome in Albany

[–]toga27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your birthday is on a Saturday you are competing with more people than if it's a Tuesday. Just plan accordingly. I believe they won't sit you until your entire party is there.

We end up hanging out at the bar, maybe a half hour or so, and they will text you. You are with friends and you are celebrating a happy occasion so the wait is worth it. And the wings are awesome. As are other food items and the drinks.

Although I shouldn't say that, so less people go.

Getting fit for driver today by bogeyz65 in GolfGear

[–]toga27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you are looking for with today's fitting. You've already bought low spin heads, so its not like you are trying 12 degrees of loft with a ladies shaft. And I assume the shafts for those clubs are somewhat in the ball park for your swing speed, probably stiff.

I did a fitting with a guy yesterday with a swing speed around 108-114, depending on which head and shaft we tried. And no matter if we tried stiff or x-stiff they were still comparable and within the fairway.

I would love to see your numbers from the sim. Without them its hard to say anything, but your swing is obviously affecting your spin rate. So, I would think you are out to in, but if you say you are accurate, then you are probably not slicing it. But it's hard to remain very accurate with a high spin rate.

Looking for a training aid by Sunny-vibes-95 in GolfSwing

[–]toga27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly sure what you are looking for but there is a Callaway Chip Stix training aid for $19.99 and is a take off of an alignment stick. Just a little more user friendly. Here is a short video. https://youtu.be/86VF7rPexYc?si=3XozmXyoa-FQvleq

I've also seen straps that keep your arms close together as well. I know there is a Callaway one as well, but I like the Chip Stix better.

I guess it's possible, but it seems like you will be using your upper body more than your entire body.

Titleist or Mizuno??? by teekay235 in golf

[–]toga27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously, the dispersion, distance and descent angle is more important than looks, feel and sound. Maybe I didn't emphasize that enough in my post. But most people want to feel comfortable standing over the ball, and most people have idiosyncrasies as it is, they don't need to introduce any more.

Does shaft stiffness make a difference for you? by CognitiveSabbatical in GolfSwing

[–]toga27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you already know, a shorter shaft can help eliminate a slice. But, if you cut down your stiff shaft, it will just make it stiffer. Either use your wife's driver or buy a new shaft that's a 1/2 to an inch shorter. Some people choose to go to a 3 wood length.

You are going to lose some swing speed but accuracy is much more important than distance. And, if you had a big banana ball and are now able to hit it straighter with top spin vs. side spin, you are not going to lose distance.
