Wanna play a round of golf from 70 yards in?

Let's tone down the attitude. No need to be aggressive. Pictures of lions eating prey, bets you know aren't feasible, and alleging mental maladies?

Chill out, man. For the record, I regrip about once a year or so, but our years aren't year-round like NM's, so it's more like every 6 months of actual golf.

Wanna play a round of golf from 70 yards in? Bring your wallet. Golf Pride Tour Wraps do not degrade - they aren't rubber. Victory grips dry up in 2 years. I think changing grips twice a year means severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

Ummm, I play a lot of golf. I practice or play around 300 days a year. I did not get my handicap to a 0 without putting in a great deal of work. Therefor, my grips get worn feeling pretty quick. I know for a fact tour pros change grips quite a bit more often than I do, are they OCD as well?

It seems you have issues with anyone on this forum that has a idea contrary to your own. And you have a habit of attacking them as opposed to having a spirited debate. You want to attack me well here goes.... I have seen many of your posts and by and large I believe you give bad advice. I don't think you are as golf saavy as you seem to think you are. I can tell that by your posts. At the end of the day you are little more than 16 handicap with a rather large ego. As far as your ridiculous bet goes, come on. One, you couldn't beat me straight up in ANY kind of golf contest from Putt Putt to Golden Tee. Two, you live in Ohio, its pretty safe to smart off from 1400 miles away. Please.... the only reason I would need to bring my wallet to a round of golf with you would be so I would have a safe place to keep all the money I would win! You're easy money, brother! So pipe down man, noone here wants to hear it any more.

I don't need to re-grip my clubs just yet, but I'm thinking about it anyways b/c I want something a lil' more shock absorbing. Currently I have the stock cords on my X-Forged's (Which are all I'm looking to re-grip at the moment). Any suggestions?

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
