Have you been drug tested lately?

That was a complete waste of an innocent stamp.

Read this board a bit - everyone says it is the Indian and not the arrow - but I guess we all have things we need to dream about.

All golfers on the PGA tour must play with the same equipment.

It is radical and I understand golf today is big business and that's okay but to have a truly honourable and fair competition sponsors should provide players with the same tools on a competition to competition basis hence true talent will shine through and that's we want to see talented golfers no matter what they play. Every two minutes there is a new driver, ball, iron, wedge or putter on the market, I'm not anti-development but as it is it's a joke and making a mockery of golf and the madness needs to be stopped!!! It is time to unify.

I have many ideas on how this could work.

Regards.

Mark Taylor.

There is limits on equipment and almost all the manufacturers build their clubs to those limits so technically what you are requesting is already done. I don't think any PGA player has an advantage because of the equipment he or she uses.

Driver: i15, 3 wood: G10, Hybrid: Nickent 4dx, Irons: Ping s57, Wedges: Mizuno MPT 52, 56, 60, Putter: XG #9

It would be a great experiment.  I'd love to see 1 tournament with the top 75 players in the world all using the same make/model of clubs built to their specs, but of course it would never happen. And it's not really necessary for any pressing reasons.

      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.
