Conspiracy!!!  It looks to me like it say "TIXE" over that door in the background.  Why would that be???  ;)  I'm suspicious that you guys borrowed somebody's left handed wedge, flipped it over, hit i

Go to the Golf and Travel Show in Cleveland this weekend. I'm sure you will have your pick of tons of South Paw clubs. That show is like 1/3 swap meet. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

So today on the range I had one of the pros take a video of me swinging on my Opposite side.  I am a right handed golfer.  I purchased a left handed 5 iron about 8 years ago (for $7) and swing it occasionally.  I remember some research on improving your golf swing.  The research showed the if you take regular opposite side swings you will improve your regular swings more so than if you only swing the way you normally do.  So this is my opposite side swing!!

Impulse purchase at the local Hospice Resale store - complete set of Dunlop irons Enhance oversize irons.  Pretty cool looking - thought I may be able to use the shafts as some point as I realized after purchase they are lefties.  For $5 they were a steal and I've been very curious about hitting from the other side.   Found this thread in looking for discussions about folks who have hit from both sides.  This should be interesting.....

Not too bad considering I haven't swung lefty in quite awhile.

@Vinsk, what do you think? 😉

      Not really, no. I don't know the history, what you've worked on, what you've tried and moved away from… etc.

      Favorite TV Show(s)

      Definitely not a favorite… For some reason my wife and I started watching Cobra Kai. I know the original was pretty cheesy, but the inability of these people to get over shit that happened like 30 years ago is astounding. And these kids would be arrested, but they don’t even seem to get suspended from school. Would Danny not notice that Johnny’s son looks like Johnny? Etc.? Why would a completely different dojo that has the same name be “banned”? Oy. Not sure we’ll make it to season 2.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 139 - 2025-02-16 Weather led to a rescheduled GEARS lesson, so I used the time to work on my swing for 60 minutes or so. All downswing stuff. Some swings at 93 MPH. Most around 75-80.

      My Swing (TN94z)

      By TN94z ·

      A question I have is…this swing (fade, pull cut) does not  feel as good and easily repeatable as the draw swing we were working on previously.  I’m kinda in a weird spot where I do not know which direction will be the best to pursue. I like seeing a penetrating 5 yard draw but also like the thought of the fade not getting away from me as much.    Any thoughts on that?
