I initially started viewing and participating on this website 8/26/2012 because I needed help with the swing weight of a club that I cut down and I needed help fast before I went out to the course. And, after that I added comments to a few post without formally introducing myself (the shame).

So…Officially I am new,

My name is Kyle, I live in Florida, and I am in my late 30’s and I didn’t start Golfing until a few days after my 30 th birthday; I consider that starting late. I started playing golf because my friends started playing golf. I immediately found a love for hitting that little ball. At first I was unable to hit the ball straight, slice of course, but after a few years I straightened it up by working on that swing-plane. I have never taken an official lesson, although I should, but I am currently shooting in the mid to high 80’s. I am a golf techie; which I believe hurts my game and progress because I am constantly tweaking and changing my equipment. IT sucks because it is really expensive, but as of late I have become satisfied with what I am using:

  • Taylormade R11s driver and 4 wood,
  • Taylormade  rescue 11 4 hybrid,
  • Taylormade 2009 tour preferred irons 4-PW,
  • Taylormade XFT wedges 50, 54, 58,
  • and Odyssey #7 white ice putter
  • I’m still going through a ball change right now; I was usuing the titleist NXT Tour, but now I am trying out the Maxfli U/3 & U/4x, Taylormade Penta, and Callaway Chrome.

I’m a Taylormade guy, but not by choice, I am playing with what feels good plus I got fitted with the above named clubs. Getting fitted makes a big difference; prior to getting the Taylormade equipment I was had bought and used Callaway, Adams, and Nike clubs. My advice to anyone trying to get better at golf get fitted before buying new equipment, it will save you much $-Moolla-$.

Anyways, I am happy to have found this website and I hope to gain much needed golf knowledge (yes, I am long winded).

Driver: Taylormade R11's 10.5

4 Wood: Taylormade R11's

4 Hybrid: Taylormade Rescue 11

Irons 4-PW: Taylormade 2009 Tour Preferred

Wedges: Taylormade XFT Z, 50, 54, 58

Putter: Odyssey white ice #7

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
