"I was a little disappointed that my handshake was rebuffed as [Christina] left the show. There comes a point when you just have to let things go. If I had lost, I would have been really upset, but I can guarantee I would have shaken hands with my competitor. At some point, sportsmanship has to enter in and the rivalry has to end."

**** Lori. Too bad it's not an official blog - i.e. one on which you can leave COMMENTS - because she'd be inundated with really hateful ones.

People do leave comments on her "confessional" videos.

FYI, many of the Big Break girls (Lori, Kim, Adrienne, Christina, Susan, Elizabeth, Courtney) are playing in a Duramed Futures tourney right now:

Good stuff. I was checking out their season results on the Futures Tour yesterday, and Kim was doing the best. FWIW, Susan needs to learn damage control... she made 4 doubles today en route to a 79 (+7). Bri Vega (BB-6 winner and BB-7 competitor) is also in the field.

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

You can't tell who won the Big Break except that it's probably not Sophie Sandolo. Kim Welch and Lori Atsedes have both played nine events:

http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/Stats/Statistics.asp

Sophie isn't even on the list.

If one of them had played more events, you could almost assume that they won Big Break because all of their entry fees are paid, so they'd likely play more events.

Oh well.

Looking at Lori's Futures tour page, it makes me wonder what she does for a living because it's certainly not golf. She's earned between $2000 and $28000 per year for the last 15 years (looks like an average of about 10-15k). Factoring in travel, entry fees, etc. she has to be losing some serious $$ on golf. I wouldn't be surprised if my net outlay each year for golf is lower than hers (does that make me a "professional" golfer too?). Of course, maybe she has a sponsor (b**ch's r us?).

Dude! Did you do that?

Nope, I didn't do it. I'm just happy to see that someone appears to have picked up what I was laying down.

Golf tends to pay you back and Lori will get her's, hopefully on the show for all to see. I don't want to see a Lori/Sophie final. Kim just may be our last hope, there's still time for her to turn from the Dark Side.... jmoc

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.

      Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.
