Is anyone else on this board a freestyle skier? By freestyle I mean riding twin tip skis and mostly doing park things, rails, table's, etc.

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

I try, but i always eat crap when I 180 and try to ski backwards. I only get to ski maybe once or twice a year, but i always rent twin tips and try to do some freestyle, im not very good though, I just do simple stuff.

Yeah it takes a while, in-terms of spins, I'm up to a 540 right now, and I can spin both ways. I am pretty comfortable skiing backwards, I also do rails and some simple grabs, the hardest grab I can do is an X-Up which isn't that hard.

Skiing? No.

Haha, I used to snowboard, but my knees got 'effed up so I started skiing, works a lot better for the knees.

Until you crash and tear your ACL. Snowboarding inflicts a lot more repetitive stress knee injuries (and head and wrist injuries), bu there isn't much catastrophic twisting and tearing injuries because both legs are anchored together in roughly the same position.

But get one ski tangled up or a binding that doesn't release, and it's goodbye ligaments! Summer months and constant pain in my knees is what pushed me to take up golf. Bottom line, it's fundamentally idiotic to hurl one's self down a slippery slope on a waxed piece of wood (or two) at breakneck speeds. Especially the grade of slopes I like. But damn it's fun.

Yeah it is fun!

But the reason I don't get as hurt skiing is because I am more confident with it since I have been skiing almost all of my life.

But that's exactly when it happens!

The snow gods look down and say "so, you think you're good, eh?"* BAM!!! Dislocated testicles! . . .. . *Apparently, the snow gods have a Canadian accent.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
