So here's the thing, I will be leaving town in December, so probably, golf by January will be over for me, I guess I will be back to a 8-10 handicap, if I'm doing well. Lately, I think, because of this, I have been doing a mess with my game, my putting is definitely off and now my iron play is off and my driving, basically evreything is off and my handicap has been rising, I was hitting rounds around par or under par, now I'm not.

So, I will really like to play my best golf this last months, maybe this is also the last time I ask for your help. My irons are not properly fitted for me, I need a 2° upright but I will not invest or modify them right now, and it is not because of I don't want it, it is because around here we don't have the facilities to take our irons to a store and get them fixed. Some pros had told me that I have a very beautiful, smooth swing, but what I tell them is that good swing can also produce bad shots and I think this is my case, right now.

I need your help to go back in time, for waht, to adjust my swing to the clubs, how can I swing my club so that I can hit it correctly at the bottom? How can I make my swing flatter? Or I don't know what I need to do it. I will do anything.

Thank you very much!

Cheers!

I had some clubs that were 2 degrees upright. I loaned them out and they got damaged and I replaced them with a standard set. Very hard to adjust but I did it . .it took about a month or so and then they felt normal to me. My swing got very flat . . .I basically set up with the club face like I want it at impact .. and then try not to lift up out of that position.

I recently got new clubs that are 2 degrees upright again and am going through another adjustment period. Much easier to adjust to clubs that fit you vs clubs that dont . .but you can do it! Just give it 4-6 weeks.

I'm not as good a golfer as you - or even close to it - so maybe you can adjust even faster. But I do think it will take some time . . no way around that.

It is soooooo stupid to fit your natural swing to your clubs, they just fit or they don't. I wouldn't invest two months in adjusting myself to the clubs, move to a new location, have them fitted and have to learn the old swing again. If you are sure about the 2* upright, just google a nearby fitter and UPS the clubs to them, bent 2* upright and UPS them back to you, might take less than a week. Bending 8-10 irons, might cost as little as $50 orso.

    • Yeah.  As far as remaining still, I was thinking body rotates around the spine like an axis.  Instead of pivoting, some like me, sway, come off that axis, leave weight on back foot, etc.  
    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin.
