..showed me his interlock grip on his Playschool Flintstone driver yesterday. He said "Daddy, like this?" and raised the club and bless his heart his index and pinky were perfectly locked..I was shocked..I said where'd you learn that..he said "Golf Channel"..cracked me up.

Wow, that's great stuff. When he gets a little older you should take him to Target and get one of those Monster Wedges to play with. It's huge and fun. It's a bit heavy so he might want to wait a year or so. It comes with a tee and inflatable golf ball. I tried to find a link and couldn't, but the ones here in Orlando carry a whole line of that stuff. I bought one and the neighborhood kids love it.

I've got a 6 month old and I've already worked with him by putting a plastic club in his hand. Showing him the interlock grip, etc.

All he did was drool.

Fairways and Greens.

Thats really cool. I actually got a starter set for my 9 year old (driver, hybrid, 5, 7, & 9 iron, sand wedge and putter). He has been at it for 3 months now. i wish i would have gotten him started earlier. I have been getting him lessons and signed him up for Sunday clinics at the course. He likes it but i think he is overwhelmed. (just like dad!) I actually started taking it more seriuosly after he started. Now my wife is into it. We look at it as a family thing.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      You can try it with some lead tape first to see if it works for you.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
