I have just got my new clubs which are 3° upright (im 6f3) and i have been used to playing with standard clubs, so far i have noticed a lot of shots comming off the toe or towards the toe end... does anyone have any tips for me to help dial in these new clubs? i knew i would have to adjust my swing to these new clubs but just looking for some advice (will prob also get a lesson or 2) has anyone else been in a similar situation?

I got measured up and the lie board/tape said i needed more upright clubs, they also put some tape on the front of the club and got me to hit a ball and that confirmed it.. does this sound right?

Dam now im worried that they may be wrong for me!! I think it might be a good investment to get a few lessons with the new sticks to see if they are right or more importantly if im swinging them right!!

Personally, I would have looked for a good professional club fitter and have him/her evaluate and fit me with a set. What do I know? I’ve been playing with the same irons for 13 years (bought off the rack).

I think you should get some lessons to make sure. i think (without seeing your swing of course) that being 6.3 you should be looking at at least 1 or 2 degrees upright.

My mate who is 6.4 or 6.5 plays with 3 degrees upright.

      I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.

      Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, I do slide my hips like 7 inches towards the target before impact. PGA Tour average is like 3 inches. I’m not Scottie Scheffler who can get away with it. 🤣 He slides a ton.  For me, I have to feel like I basically just turn. Though, I’m probably over exaggerating a bit with that one video because I’m really trying to push off with the left leg which sends the hip backwards. Ideally, I would be able to get my weight over to the outside of my left foot at impact and into the finish. It’s probably OK that I can slide about 7 inches as long as it’s like only three by impact.

      Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine.

      I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
