just joined......i am 42...been out of golf for 2-3 years, had a heel injury and motocross has been taking up most of my time and money.....anyway decided to get back into golf again........my 3rd day back today and shot a 91 ( real official score no cheating) on a regulation course.........was actually surprised i hit the ball as well as i did........direction and some swing flaws are evident......putting and short game is off but glad to be part of the game again...........just picked up a set of mizuno mp57's and use a cleveland hi bore driver with odyssey (sp)? putter and of course cleveland wedges........anyway came on here to get tips and find out some info, also i have no buddies that play golf so maybe looking for some in so cal to tee it up with.............when i was playing consistently i was a mid to low 80's golfer.....i have never broken 80 though came close.......that is my goal is to get into the 70's.......and yes i know its going to be alot of practice and work.........

i probably should be hitting a game improvement club but hitting a forged mizuno will mess you up........i tried out all sorts of clubs but nothing felt like the mizuno's and as i get better my ball striking will get better....already am hitting 60-70 percent of my shots clean........anyway glad to be here and am no stranger to forums........i was on a ton of motocross forums so i know the deal, lol!

      12/24/2024 So Christmas Eve we hosted the family. But I still found some time before and some time after to get some solid mirror work in. Yay!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 85 - 2024-12-24 Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By GolfLug ·

      So got fitted in a 35" Odyssey Microhinge Double wide 'blade' yesterday at GG. Choice was between it, SQ to SQ, LAB DF3, Rose Axis and Mizuno Craft  (also a double wide). Apparently I'm pretty good a aiming right of the hole consistently regardless of putter type. But it all came down to distance control and the insert feel. We hit puts in the putting area for the fitting but then ended up on the aisle carpet to hit long 40ish feet putts. Which is where the Microhinge did the best for my stroke. The Mizuno was a close second. The DF3 and Axis weren't bad either but I just felt really confident over the Microhinge and slightly soft but firm contact resonated so well. FWIW, I wanted to like the lie-angle balanced putters more than I did and was prepared to spend a bit. I guess putting is the individualistic aspect of our game. Hopefully, I didn't leave anything on the table. Anyone who knows my putting knows I need all the help I can get.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug ·

      The driver swing honestly feels good. Haven't played in a/the course for a bit but did pretty good at the sim place yesterday.  The idea has been to reduce twisting shaft instinctively at impact. For this have weakened left hand grip considerably. Pushed higher up in the hollow of the palm to take out index finger and thumb in pressure application which is a major are major contributors of shaft twisting at impact. On the flip side, right hand grip is way down in the lower part of the middle fingers. Not using index or thumb much at all. It also is designed to prevent getting underneath the shaft too much at impact. More of a float-loady  'paint the ball' feel through the ball. Overall address and neutral grip keeps both lead and trail sides on respective sides of the shaft instead of over or underneath the shaft. It seems it allows/promotes moving the shaft/club unit in unison with wrist/elbow/shoulder joints similar to an elephant swinging it's trunk. It does not feel like I am guiding the club path or trying to control club face at all. Fairly organic. Playing TPC Sawgrass in about a month. Will see how it all holds up. I hear its a good test.. heh.
