I can imagine this toolbag telling me something to the effect of "all the pros use a Hammer, but their equipment contracts require them to paint it like a TaylorMade or whatever".

If I got a set of HAMMERRRRRRRRBOOOOOOOOOOOMPPPPPPPPPPPOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWs and a box of Polara golf balls I guarantee I'd hit the top of the money list in about 3 months. the USGA/PGA is afraid of people finding out just how easy golf can be... that's why this stuff is banned.

Also, what's with the swings of the "actual golfers" in these commercials? I don't think these guys would look too out of place at a lumberjack competition.

If he's that good why is he in Terre Haute? (no disrespect intended) So after you hit the 400 yard drive on the 475 yard par 4, what do you do when your 9 iron goes 190? Putt? Or better yet, what do you hit on the 105 yard par 3 with the river just in front of the green? I'd rather hit my 9 iron 125 yards and know a full swing 52 degree wedge works for those shorter distances. its tough enough to get the 50 yard shots right as it is...

assuming by a "draw driver" you mean a driver with a face that is a few degrees closed, i was under the assumption that most professionals played a driver with a face that was a few degrees open.

I don't know if the face was closed, but it had a pretty huge offset. A real piece of work.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
