Nothing about this guy is funny, he's just lame. Doesn't know what a muscleback is, blames the type of club for his shots going left and right, classifies himself as a great ballstriker with a 36 handicap, tells us that a great ballstriker needs a swing speed of 110, etc.

hello!. finally a decent golfer. look at handicap, 0.8.

Look at mine. 1.5- now I'll give my opinions.

oh, it does too! but someone may have to help me upload it ok? it will be my pleasure.

That's not that hard. A lot of times you can text them to your email. Or if you have a fancier phone you probably have a cable that connects it to your computer.

how much do you wanna put on it????? a 225 meter 2 iron, are your serious?

On a sweet-spot hit, it's just about at easy to shape any club out there. What matters most is blade length, not if it's a hybrid or blade.

Also, a blade is a muscle back. They're the same thing.
sorry 8.5 drive for hyjacking this thread. There are obviously a few here with limited ball striking ability and faith...

So he of the 36 handicap he demeaning the ballstriking abilities of everyone who can't hit a 1 iron? Do you realize how few people in the world hit a 1 iron, or even a 2 iron?

what, so i am annoyed that mizuno no longer make a 2 iron, so what??

Please please please learn how to quote. It makes it a lot easier to believe you.

what that means is if some hacker with a set of callaway big bertha irons (muscleback - scharzenegger style), he will get momentum thru the ball and thats about it.

You don't get momentum through the ball with your 1 iron? Or you just don't know what momentum means?

They are designed to hit the ball straight, even if its off the toe or heel. So when you try and get some intensional curve on the ball, its going to be less than a blade, as blades can accommodate curve.

When you hit a fade or a draw, you don't do it by hitting it off the toe or heel.

You say by your own admission that you arent a great ballstriker, (good striker to me thats clubhead speed of 110 +), hence you don't play or like the 1 iron.

Clubhead speed means literally nothing when it comes to ballstriking.

fault of mine???? really??????ppppffftttt

Yes.

clubhead speed is how fast it goes, ballstriking how you actually strike the ball.

No point having a 150mph SS if you can't hit the ball.

James_Black, i have just noticed you play with a regular shaft in your driver, so you may not know what i am talking about, when i mean GREAT ballstriker.

[QUOTE=jamo;533616]Look at mine. 1.5- now I'll give my opinions.

ahh yes. the old 1.5 - 2.0 handicap days. your next 4 shots will come from a) 2 shots from improved putting, b)2 shots from trying to get it from 150 yards to within 10 feet.

hybrids are better than a 2 or 1 iron out of fairway bunkers.

hybrid has its place, just not in my bag.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
