Those work really well too! I just bought a bag of 100 4” Champs tees. That way I can dig in more. But in the meantime I have the wood ones. I played driving range too much. No time, but I like the idea of all 4 of us going to Whittier then Tito’s afterwards!

You hit really well that day until the last three holes. Your swing really impressed “Gino Rodriguez” the professional boxing referee. Your Swing does look nearly picture perfect! It was a windy day to boot. Like I said earlier we didn’t play bad, just not good Right, my tee shots were a near perfect demonstration of LSW. Tee up high and hit up to drive long, tee up low and things are “not so good”. 😊 Like duck hooks. I loved the attempt I made to “make the same shot” and teed too low exactly the same way and I duck hooked both shots exactly the same way into the next fairway. 🤪

My carry distances are well into the 250-255 range on Foresight. It’s possible my SS is only 95 or something like that but it said 104...I doubt my SF is that good either. I just need to make sure I use a taller tee, as @Shindig and I found out this last weekend 😂 I was hitting duck hooks and spinny slices with my driver until I teed up higher. Hit the last drive 260 into a headwind, and two holes earlier over 280 which stayed on the fairway thanks to a side wind.

Dots on my Mevo.. of course...
-
Yup, full setup. Tested on a Quad, same results. The problem could have been my running out of dots and not putting them on the cold range balls. SF seemed to go up a bit after using them but still not over 1.45. But I’m sure someone will say it makes no difference. No big deal though. I'm kind of past being worried about my SS these days. I’m just enjoying the game regardless of my either “perceived to be self imagined” swing speed or what others “theorize my swing speed to be” 😂😂😂 Thanks for posting though. Cheers!

Just confirmed 104 CHS the cold range balls are 5% less bouncy in summer... and much worse in winter. Went to a Foresight.

Btw, you could draw that line starting at the mats where everyone hits every day except on Wednesday... then you’d be about right. Nope, that was R Kim, not me. He owns the Ferrari, I own a Subaru
-
Nope, 175 wasn’t me. Try 218 to 238 carry on your XL. 20 yards 2 strikes only... you’re confusing me with another Asian dude 😂😂😂 8i averages 142 carry with a few 165 shots and duffs to 120 which you averaged in... And my driver had an X200 steel shaft in it. You’re conning everyone else 😂😂😂 Wrong Asian dude, did Kim really get out to 235? Nice!
-
Check that bin distance outside the range...keep that line going another few ticks 266 is the marker from the mats where you drew it But I’m usually on the right side mats... It’s a double range. The Elite membership lets you hit off grass every day not just Wednesday’s... Hitting the other way of course, with the wind the poor guys like me hit into the wind a bit... 😂

I go to 3...but here most... Arcadia Par 3 driving range... 620 E Live Oak Ave Arcadia, CA 91006 United States Brookside GC Pasadena Ca Santa Anita GC Arcadia Ca

We’re in so cal... gets down to 40F at night. Pretty level. Maybe 10-15 feet overall downhill? It’s got lots of little hills where they plant the flags.
-
Lower temperatures might be affecting the Mevo too? It was cold and I leave it in my bag...

With the Mevo sitting 12 feet behind the tee. Here are my readings. The highlighted shot hit the bin 266 yards away about 8 seconds after my shot... “ponnnng” 😂 One of the other players (A low single digit player) saw my first 3 readings and was like “How can I hit farther than you?” He got on my Mevo and his best swings were 80mph with a carry up to 190. We could see his balls landing clearly past the 212 yard hill marked at 212 and ranged within a yard to the flag. I told them the Mevo is great for tracking improvement and such but not very accurate at all. My Canadian ex-pro long drive friend was swearing he was hitting the balls perfectly and never saw any drive above 306 yards even though his shots were landing 360 yards into one or two the fairways behind the fence over water. The way we could tell was people dispersing at their second shots. Yeah, going to go with my Mevo not being accurate in absolute terms... 😁 Still like using it though. Every now and then some cocky hitter goes to my range I’ll ask him if he wants to get “Mevoed” only to look disappointed he only hits 10-20% shorter than he thought! And swears he has an over 100mph swing speed only to see 90mph 😂😂😂 These were with my shiny new M6... Loving it! Very light prevailing breeze into our faces... 68F 700 feet

I checked in behind a retired, walking single yesterday...

Champions Speed Golf Tour? 😂 Yeah, that’s pretty fast for a retiree! -
Wait, “Country Club”?!? Want to hear more about that! 😁
-
I wish I had his problem! My driver currently goes no farther than my hybrid on a good shot... 😩 I like the one post with the golfer swinging a 25 foot or so driver shaft... 😂😂😂 Dave blackston (@DBlakeston) Tweeted: @richwoods2 https://t.co/tmlj6CXYWt
-
I could do that Sounds pretty good to me
-
That’s exactly where I put it... 8’-9’. I’ve actually tried all distances from about 6’ to 10’ and they didn’t seem that different. Maybe 1mph...? Anyway, I’ve signed up for a lesson... hope it goes well.
-
Going to see a pro, haven’t been to one in a while...but this is really getting bad...seems like the more comfortable I get swinging this club, the worse my ball speed 😜 All 6 swings more or less the same...
-
Shaped like the ball you hit! 😂😂😂 That’ll teach you not to hit the sweet spot...

Which TaylorMade M-Series Driver?

I’ll go with the PGA pro advice! Last couple times I posted my swing I just got criticism without the advice 😂 -
Which TaylorMade M-Series Driver?

What types of things could be causing this crazy high spin and launch? Driver with 5i spin? 😂 To be honest the club feels pretty good. -
Pretty horrible today...5 decent and 1 horrible 1.25 SF 5000rpm. I might look at the shaft... PX5.5 might flex too much? I seem to be ballooning.
-
Yeah, only off around the greens. I had one glove last 6 months. No signs of wear but it was definitely beginning to take on life forms. So, my partners would wince when I took it off. 😂
