That persimmon is garbage compared to my beechwood!

Mallets!

I love this commercial! I used to feel guilty about using a hybrid until I saw this lol. It really does put the whole "golf purist" thing into perspective. Someone may be a purist in relation to a particular generation, depending on what clubs they use (or refuse to use) but unless you are using that mallet thingy at the end of the commerical...lol

I'm still waiting to hear the explanation of " the worlds first high speed cavity back" driver?

The commercials are humorous and the take on materials is funny.....

High speed video is for nerds!

Regular speed video, slow video is mental masturbation.

Video? Photos tell all.

Photos? Words. Photos don't do poetic justice that words do.

Words? Telepathy. Why speak?

Telepathy? Why communicate? It's all in you, innate. Just swing. It's simple.

I had a friend of mine out once using his daddy's old persimmons. That starter says "you boys better be spotting him 5 strokes".

My brother was the last holdout that I know of who was still using a persimmon driver. He always hit it pretty long and right down the middle and couldn't get used to metal tchnology. He finally gave in about 5 years ago and is REALLY long now, but he still has a persimmon 5-wood in his bag. While he still refuses to go hybrid, that 5-wood sure looks like one.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
