Kellfire

My brother used to go by the nickname Hellfire when he played online games, so I took that and combined it with my surname, Kelly, to come up with Kellfire which is a name I primarily began using to play Counter-Strike but I use it on some fora now as well.

I stole mine from a Def Leppard song... I heard the song, and thought it was the most rediculous lyrics I've ever heard... I started saying it singing it over and over at inappropriate times around all of my friends... and it just kind of stuck.

Everyone admires a 315 yard drive... but it's the full swing flop shot from 17 yards out over a greenside bunker onto a downhill slope that lands softer than a butterfly with sunburnt feet and nuzzles up to the pin that I love.

When my buddy or I have a shot like that we will finish out the whole and then have a 'flop off' to see who can land it closer.

oh and 218... my b-day 2/18

Behindthedish36

Behindthedish36 - it is an old school term for catching in baseball. "Green, your behind the dish today with Sanders". My HS nickname was Dish, b/c I was always behind the plate, and has stuck through college to now. 36 has been my only baseball number i have worn. Little league through High school, college, and now.

only other nicknames i have are "Sarge" (senior nco in the US Army) or "Steel" ( another Army nick, I am a forward observer in artillery)

JumpHigh_HitHard

I used to play volleyball in college for my university team, and "Jump High, Hit Hard" is the advice our coach would give us before a big match.

This saying has helped me in any challenging situation (especially with my golf game), because our coach was basically saying you practiced months for this moment, and you are ready; now all you have to remember is jump high hit hard.

So whenever I am playing golf, and my mind gets a little cluttered, this is the saying I use to simplify my game. I suppose "Grip it and rip it" would serve the same end, but to each his own.
"There is no miracle tip. Fix your swing."

When my grandfather was teaching me the game, every time I hit a bad shot he would tell me I suffered from loft.One day I asked if me hitting the ball high was really hurting my game.And he replied no but your
"Lack of *bleeping* talent" is thus the loft he meant...He was a supportive old timer

      The Stack Wedge System

      By iacas ·

      If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.

      PXG Secret Weapon — Mini Driver

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
