if you can make it on the 13th that'd be fantastic..

Same thing happened to me last year lol. I totally forgot about the draft (heck, I forgot I signed up lol), but got the week 1 alert and decided to work on my weekly lineups, and nearly won it.

What's in my Tartan Precise TS-869 Bag:
Woods: Northwestern 1W, 3W, stock grip
Hybrids: 855 Graphite shaft 3H, 4H, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Irons: 855 R flex steel shaft 5-PW, Golf Pride Tour Wrap midsize grips
Wedges: PureSpin Tour Series Diamond Face 52* AW, 56* SW, 60* LW, Golf Pride...

Sept. 3 should be fine with me.

My fantasy baseball team was autodrafted (I was out of the country). I have a 14.5 point lead over second place, as we speak, with some strategic managing.

But Sep. 3rd should be fine.

I did. Based on the end of the previous season and a weak receiving core.

Sept 3rd? That is a Friday night!

Sorry for being so slow to sign up, I'm in guys. Just one more player now.

Ha ha, I'm closing on a house on Sep. 3. If that works for everyone I can just set it to auto draft but another date would be better for me for sure.

Right now return yards are set to 10 yards per point. Can we adjust that? Most leagues I've played in make it around 25/point.

Also I would bump the value of a safety up a point or two, they're more valuable than a blocked kick or fumble recovery since they score points and create a possession.

Driver - FT-5 10°
Hybrids - 4DX 15.5°, 20°
Irons/Wedges - CI-7 4-GW, SW | "Free" Warrior 60° LWPutter - TiffanyBalls - various


Agree with return yards being 25/pt.. if that's what everyone likes too..

sept 3rd is great too for me.

I am all for that!!!!!!! Good Idea

Are you guys playing for free or what? Too much trouble if there is nothing to win...

I only play in pay leagues with people I know in real life.

Maybe iacas would give the winner a free sleeve of balls or a towel or something.

That's kind of my point. That's why I was asking. Thanks

Well, I got talked into joining a league because they needed an extra man. This is my first time ever doing it so I have a question....what is the best order to pick? I am thinking:

1)QB
2)RB
3)Defense
4)WR
5)K
6)TE


Am I close??

Well, I got talked into joining a league because they needed an extra man. This is my first time ever doing it so I have a question....what is the best order to pick? I am thinking:

Close, but not exactly. I always try to take a one RB and one WR early, then take a QB 3rd (but don't think you have to spring for one of the huge names. There isn't a huge dispersion among QBs). Then fill out your RB, WR, and TE positions. Get a defense second to last and a kicker last. After those you can flesh out your bench. But it really all depends on what other people are taking. If people start taking a lot of RBs, you might need to put off the QB and extra round. Also if people start taking TEs, there are't a lot of high end TE's so I try to be one of the first people to take a TE. And if no one is taking defense or kickers, hold off a while and strengthen your bench.

Sorry if that doesn't make a lot of sense. It's tough to explain but I would generally advise you to go with the flow. Take the best player on the board for the positions you need.

I understand. I think I have a good plan laid out. I will let you know how it turns out. Our draft is tomorrow morning.

    • If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.
    • Day 11: 2/16/2025 Rince and Repeat: Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.   
    • Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
