    Carts or Legs?

    This is a tough one for me. I have a blown disk in my lower back and walking actually helps lower the pain. If the course is to long I get a worn out feeling on the last 4 holes or so and start to play bad. If I ride and it gets a little slow I start to stiffen up in the cart. Then I find myself lifting up during the swing and hitting it thin. If I am the one driving I ask the other person to drive so I can walk between some of my shots. I aggree with the other poster about not having all my stuff when I am in a cart and being dropped off.
  2. Don't most women need to swing differently then a man to hit any distance?
  3. Hi Guys, What do you think of this setup to use a digital postal scale for swing weight. Is there a chart available that would convert grams or oz. from this kind of setup setup to swing weights?
  4. I was begging! The pause before the ball dropped was classic! He was hitting a little 1wood drive/3wood that came with a set. The way he traced his line with his finger just before the putt was fun to watch in the video, I didn't notice at the time. It was not his first par but his first par over water and from the white tee's. For his first par I made him this.
  5. He loves to play. His best score is 104 at Bowie Golf course from the red tee's. Every shot, every putt !!
  6. We visited Golf Smith for the first time today and they let Collin hit a kids driver in the simulator. We didn't have his clubs with use so they taped up a jr. driver for us. Everyone was very nice!
  7. After years of playing I finally had a fitting with my instructor from years ago. This was a fitting at the range with ball striking involved. He watched the flight of the balls, measured my hands, and wrist height, and we did impact tape on a lie board with my current irons TM LT 2005's. From the fitting carts he had me try Ping i20's I think, Jpx-800, and a Titleist iron of some sort. Hit the Pings horrid Hit the Jpx800 pretty well but not as far as nice as the LT's Titleist, not much better then the Ping's We both agreed that the LT iron fit great and saw no advantage in new irons. So for my own curiosity can you explain what the tempo, toe down, kick angle and release factor numbers mean? ------------------------------------------------ 6 iron numbers: Clubs head speed:90 Tempo:6 Toe down:5 Kick angle:3 Release factor:4 Your club length should stay the same but perhaps soft stepping the X100 shafts will improve the feel and playability of the irons. (Try a Dynamic Gold SL or Dynalite Gold SL in the 2 iron). Your clubs are 2 degrees upright, which works fine for you. Since you hit a 5 wood so well. I don't think you need a 2 hybrid. Maybe a 3 hybrid if your not too consistent with the 3 iron. -------------------------------------------------
  8. Thank you Erik, I will read up on it!
  9. I've been Playing Golf for: 4 or 5 years My current handicap index or average score is: 17 My typical ball flight is: middle, not to high not to low The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I don't have one miss, sometimes left sometimes right. Videos: I only have one short video right now. That ball was pulled 15 yards left of the flag with a pretty straight ball flight. It was about 180 yards. Besides my fat gut and chicken legs what do you think of this. I know my shoulders are really rounded over and that is from years of bad posture. I try and straighten out but is feels so forced it is hard to do. Yes I would love to loose the gut... I don't drink, I am on a gluten free diet, I don't eat much fast food, I walk when I play, weighed myself tonight, 211. The shaft flex is a little surprising... those are True Temper x100 shafts in a set of LT irons.
  10. Not sure what the mobile downdload was about... The error was mine, the price format was typed in wrong. ##.##.## instead of ##.##
  11. Sorry guys, It appears to be fixed now!
  12. If Erik doesn't mind I can do a mirror image for a lefty. :-)
  13. Would have been better if your bag and bag tag had been in the background!
  14. The grooves are more then likely cut with a "slitting saw blade" like this one. http://www.use-enco.com/CGI/INSRIT?PARTPG=INSRAR2&PMAKA;=619-1185&PMPXNO;=16718934
  15. I would suggest donating some sperm but in a few years we would have even more people on TST begging for clubs!
  16. Just a heads up to anyone thinking about placing an order... I will kept the introductory price of $38.00 for a few more days but after that I am going to increase the price. If you want one now is the time to order!
  17. They just banned grunting in tennis! Only for the women!
  18. "Pure White or High Visibility Pink. Both utilize a luminous finish that will add a distinctive flair to any woman’s game." Hell... I need a little flair in my game to! LOL
  19. Are the solair balls the ones that look kinda pearl like? Bubba uses a pink driver... why not a pink ball! LOL
  20. My son (9) found a Srixon lady ball and was open minded enough to use it to get a bit more distance because it is softer. He liked it so much he asked me to buy him a dozen so I did. So last week I found one in my golf bag and decided to give it a try... WOW! It was like hitting butter! and the the feel off the putter was also really nice. I was hitting some very nice driver shots right down the middle but couldn't tell if it was the ball or just some good swings? Iron shots felt super smooth, distance was the same as the NXT tour ball. An added bonus is not having to worry about guys picking up my ball! I was thinking if I played a pink one guys would run away from it! So have you tried one?
  21. A guy that does concrete work for me has one bad eye, i asked him what happen and he told me that exact same story but the ball broke out his eye socket and pretty much blinded him in one eye. .
  22. Thank you! The Zone is so full of info it is hard to keep up! I updated the web site over the last few days and added the golf ball marker if any one wants one. The divot tool will be added soon but I wanted to try some stainless steel for that since it has a groove cleaner.
  23. OK I stopped reading at page 3.... Last weekend I went to Golf Galaxy with my 8 year old son and while looking over the used clubs wouldn't you know I saw an old Callaway Big Bertha for a $1.99 !!! He now has a new driver with a grip that cost more then the club! http://www.ebay.com/itm/X-FACTOR-HAMMER-DRIVER-10-degree-SMART-SHAFT-GRAPHITE-/271004695889?pt=Golf_Clubs&hash;=item3f19237d51 17.99 and free shipping... POW !!!!
  24. Two days with no power here in Maryland! I think that was better then a lot of people, some are still out of power. They say it was a "land hurricane" whatever it was the utility company's should be spending money putting stuff underground.
