... my first thought is holy S**T that thing is going to have to be cleaned with a brush after every shot - the base is so busy with all kinds of crevices & slots, it will get packed with all kinds of dirt and mung.

I just wish hybrids and fairway woods would have a smooth featureless base ... wouldn't look cool enough I guess when everybody is making this kind of club today:

Yeah it is pretty "busy".  I know I get tired of pulling the grass out of the slot of my RocketBallz 3 wood every time I hit a shot off the deck.

But wait, aren't you supposed "try and hit UP on the ball so you don't hit the ground"? ;-)

I always heard you hit hybrids like long irons. :scared:

As for woods - I can't hit up or sweep them ... creates a hook for me - hit slightly down on those too to straighten them out.   I guess it all boils down to preference ...

Yep, a car speaker. My hybrid is a Cleveland Launcher with Glide Rails. I'm sure it helps a little, but maybe more so subconsciously.

I put a brush in my bag recently.

Yup, unless you frequent courses where someone washes them after the 18th hole is done. :-P

Yep, a car speaker.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that resemblance. I spent way too much time working on car stereo systems in my car I think.

Meh. A wet towel will get everything important and you can detail it when you get home. If you are in to that sort of thing. And admit it.

Eh, grooves and chunks of mud get cleaned but if you cleaned the mud out of the sole of your club every time, you'd spend half your day cleaning. My home course stays soft.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
