Cheers everyone, happy to join. Been golfing forever, but just now began taking lessons from a PGA Teaching Pro...oh if I only started earlier. Latest golfing acquistion is an Odyssey, White Hot Steel Two Ball Putter: mallet head, center shaft design. Can't wait to give it a go this weekend.

Hey JRC welcome. I'm also new, joined yesterday, but planning on contributing a lot to the forum. I have an Odyssey, Duel Force 2. Personally I never could get into the 2 balls, and especially the new 3 ball. It just seemed to distracting. Anyway, enough of my rant, I'm sure it'll go great for you and welcome!

Thanks for the welcome Minnesotagolfer! Yeah, I never thought I'd go for the 2-ball/3-ball thing either. As it happened I was trying out a number of different styles and brands in the putter-box at our local Bobick's Nevada Bob's store and the two-ball caught me on how easy it was to line-up. Swings and feels great too. At 33 inches, it fits me well. I guess the proof will be in the putting this Saturday. Have a great 4th of July weekend.

Yea. You should let me know how it goes. Maybe I'll have to jump back on the wagon and maybe give it a chance. Good luck and have a great 4th too.

Well. I'm back from my Saturday round with the new Odyssey 2-ball and loved it. Line-up was so much easier and gave me greater confidence in striking the ball and going fro the cup. Unfortunately, the golfer wasn't so good, shot a 99..not the putter's fault. Yep, I guess I'll keep her.

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
