I found one thread with a guy that had this and said it was good. I saw the commercial and thinking about getting it. Does anyone else use the services from www.golfgps.com ? If so, what are your experiences with them? I used a uPro last year and thought it was "ok" and ended up selling it. Since I'm in the market for a laser, a cheap gps for my droid wouldn't be all that bad of an idea.

Good call. Thanks.

This is the way to do it.

Here are my videos for your pleasure. All clips have 3 shots per clip to show consistency. Feel free to rip me up or give me your thoughts. Interested to hear what you guys see wrong in my swing. Always looking for constructive criticism. P.S. Sorry for originally asking that you guys go to the effort of looking elsewhere for my videos. I should have just embedded them from the start as I've done now.

I'm a HUGE Golf Pride fan. All of my clubs have Golf Pride "New Decade" grips on them except for the putter. When I custom ordered my Mizuno's, I had them put the New Decades on at the factory. When I bought the driver, wood and hybrids, I immediately had them put the New Decades on before I took the clubs home. Grips are very important to me. I have my clubs re-gripped after every season. .... This may be overkill but I'm anal about my golf equipment. New Grips = Sexy Time.

My Player Cards - Use for Yourself or Critique
Jon K replied to Jon K's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
yes closed club face .. open club face is no good. When it's closed and it enters the sand, it works as a shovel and digs the ball out. b-con i meant up to a longer club ... if i would normally be hitting a PW, i'd go to a 9 -
I agree. GI irons are great for someone that isn't really a good golfer or won't become better. They have less control .. however you don't have to be as consistent. Yes, the irons I have are in my sig. These irons aren't a game improvement iron ... however they aren't a hardcore players iron. I think they are great for a mid-cap golfer that wants some control and workability yet still needs forgiveness. They would be great for someone like you .. however so would a lot of other brands. Let me know if you want some pictures or more info on them. I was in your shoes a couple years back ... just getting into golf again after many years off. I started all over with the equipment process and made a few mistakes ... one being that i purchased a Super Game Improvement set of irons. ... Although these help me improve quickly, they held me back once I got to a certain point. When I upgraded to the Wilson irons my game improved dramatically due to the workability difference. If you think you're going to become a golf addict and work to improve your game, stay away from Super Game Improvement irons .. probably Game Improvement irons as well... just my opinion

You didn't buy them from Michael, did you?

If I played TM I would play the R7's. I love em.

How is your athletic ability? Do you think you'll improve greatly over the next year or two? If so, don't get a Super Game Improvement iron because you'll out grow them quickly. Go with a Game Improvement/Players Iron ... you can tell this by a few different factors but if you've been doing your research you probably already have an idea. I'm selling a great set of new irons that fits that category. Let me know if you want some more info on them.

Jon K replied to Jon K's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
unless the angle is minor, yes. i don't have a real fast swing speed USA 79, These are very general rules and could be applied to you unless you have a specific training regiment. If you want the word document I can email it to you, just let me know. I printed it on glossy photo paper, used a paper cutter at kiknos and cut it in half, then put it back to back and laminated it all at kinkos for 2 bucks. You could pop a hole in it and hang it from your bag if you wanted. You can also change the name and logos on there to match your info. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...2-23201505.jpg http://s31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...2-23201452.jpg -
I used baseball grip for years up until two years ago. Switching to Interlocking improved my game by a huge amount.

I have a laminated "coach card" that I carry with me that helps me remember specifics when it comes to different types of shots that occur during any given round. Sometimes when you're out there, you forget to stay a step back, look and breathe. Carrying these with me helps me remember to take my time when figuring out a shot and helps me remember what the heck I'm supposed to do. This is what is on my card. Feel free to copy and paste this into word and make your own note cards for your bag or feel free to critique what I have.

Golf Bag Cart Appearance Opinion - Mizuno vs. Cobra
Jon K replied to Jon K's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Ok Boys ... I decided that since I always wanted a Staff bag to throw all my crap in ... I returned the Cobra cart bag and got the Cobra Staff bag since it was only $100 more than the cart bag. I'm going to keep the Mizuno cart bag and Cobra Staff bag and use them when situations require such a bag ... I'm such a girl when it comes to toys. Gotta love it. Ooooppps. Can't leave without sharing a photo! http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c3...2-21190841.jpg -

I originally got a bag to match my irons and wedges .. then realized it looked better to match my woods and hybrids to the the headcovers -
I finally got my dream set this year!

Wilson STAFF vs Wilson STAFF's reputation
Jon K replied to Paddymaster's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I had a full set of 09' Wilson Staff products ... I was very pleased with them and think they are a great Entry/Mid Level product line -
Fun topic to read .. 2007 Kia Sorento 4x4 Sport 2009 Toyota Camry SE 2002 Jaguar X-Type (summer car with rims) Used to have a 2004 Pontiac GTO and a 2003 Buell XB9R Firebolt Bike .. sold them when I had a child on the way.

How Many Sets of Irons Do You Have? What Are They?
Jon K replied to Mr.Mongo's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
2008 Maxfli Powermax 4-PW, SW 2009 Wilson Staff 4-PW 2010 Mizuno MP-58 Went from Super Game Improvement Iron to Entry-Level Player Iron in a season ... then Entry-Level Player Iron to Player Iron in another season -
Lighten up ;) Had nothing to say about it so I made a cheesy comment. I think the swing looks good. And i'll be posting my swing in the next couple of days .. feel free to rip me apart

I don't think you held your post swing stance long enough. try another 30 seconds or so
