When I bought my new irons at Golf Galaxy, they had me use their Ping 7i fitting club. They first tested me for shaft height using an impact sticker.  We determined on the Ping that I needed a 1/2" off (or 3/4" off my TM's since they are a 1/4" longer club).  Then they had me hit the impact board for lie angle.  They said I needed 2 degrees flat so that is what they adjusted them to.

Today I went back to the range and feel like I have remedied the problem.  From the get go I put one of my headcovers under my right arm and took some practice swings.  I knew right away that I must have been throwing my right elbow out because the movement on the downswing felt pretty foreign.  I hit a few balls and they were straight.  I was able to lose the headcover and hit normally and was able to replicate the swing.  It feels kind of awkward but straight is good.  One thing I did notice, when I tucked my right elbow in I lost some distance.  But I will take straight over erratic distance any day.  I probably just need to find a way to increase my clubhead speed a bit without throwing the swing out of whack.

What I may do next time is take my video camera and tape my swing and see what you guys think.

      New Golf Grips. Talk to Me

      By collegefbfan ·

      I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel?

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By RandallC ·

      I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By TapOut64 ·

      Why?  You would never be waiting on me.  I am one of the fastest players you will ever run into on the golf course.  I am extremely fit and almost always the first to the green and the first to the next tee box.  When I play with my 16 year old step son who is a 3 handicap, he tells me to slow down.  Also,  what does it take me?  40 seconds round trip to walk off 30 yards?  (which is the max I walk off)  I like to have a look at the break around the hole which helps me to hole out chips which I did for birdie from 27 yards just the other day.  I also do this while waiting on my playing partners to catch up to me so you need not worry about being irritated, I can pretty much guarantee you that you could not keep up with me on the golf course.  🙂
