I haven't really messed around with online forums. Is the sand trap the best/only place to be for golf, or should I join another forum too?

thanks,

John

I have been reading golf club reviews from TheSandTrap for the last 4 years.. I didn't even know there was this forum until recently! I was kind of mad at myself for not finding this earlier! You won't find a better golf website! TheSandTrap may just have it all!

i searched for new irons for about 2 months over the winter and every time I looked for reviews for any clubs i always ended up here at TST at some point . Last week i was looking for something golf related no idea wht and found the forums and completely regret not having signing up a long time ago. not just for golf but a slew of topics, if your a golf addict this is your A.A. meeting!

I took up Golf in late 2006, and that first winter I browsed 3 maybe 4 forums all together. I purchased a new computer in mid 2007, and this is the only forum I've been to since.

Actually, non-golf related advice I received on this site helped me with a problem a co-worker was having at her home. That led to us to start dating and I asked her to marry me last year!

Yup, this is the only Golf Forum for me.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
