I'll give you $50 for it. You'll more than double your money! 🙂
-
Ok, you convinced me. And the plus is allegedly a nearby Dick's has one (exactly one) in stock. I ordered the f9 for curbside pickup. With my coupon and rewards, out the door for under 100 bucks. Now I'm just concerned their inventory is off and they really don't have it on hand.
-
Lol, the reason I'm looking is that since I don't hit my hybrid much I gave my Cobra (don't recall the model) to my son for his school season. I am in general a fan of Cobra since they seem to be as good as but less expensive than a lot of the competitors.
-
I'll check, but I should also mention that I have a bunch of Dick's / Golf Galaxy rewards and a $20 coupon I was planning on putting to the club. But I'm sure there are other things to be had at the retail store.
-
I've actually bought several things from Callaway preowned and am a huge fan. But their stock and newer hybrids is nonexistent. Last I checked there wasn't a single men's RH epic flash.

I'm in the market for a new hybrid and am looking for suggestions. Let me start by saying that I am a notorious cheapskate and always looking to maximize value. So I started out looking at a generation older club to save some money and was debating between the Ping 410 ($169 new) and the Callaway Epic Flash ($199). I had kind of settled on the Callaway figuring that the fact that it was a bit newer and adjustable where the Ping wasn't so therefore worth the extra $20, Then I started to wonder is a new Callaway Mavrik might be worth the extra $50 over the Flash. Unfortunately I don't know if I'll have much luck demoing the older clubs as the stores tend not to keep older demo clubs around. Best I could probably do it tape up a new club, so I'm not sure I can tell much from hitting them. So, can anyone provide any feedback on the clubs I'm considering, or are there better options?

I think I'm close to having things "click" for me but I'm still struggling. Things are feeling better on the range, and for stretches on the course, but I tend to fall apart at some point during a round. It feels like aliens have taken over my body. I think maybe im getting armsey and not starting with my hips. How can I combat this?
-
I'm trying out a new swing feel and am looking for input. Here's a slow mo video face on and DTL. Sorry for the lighting conditions.
-
Thanks all. Again, for clarification, I'm not taking about pitch shots around the green. Im questioning my strategy from the 50ish yard area where it's a half to 3/4 swing. Sounds like my using my 56 is not out of the realm of what a lot of folks do so I'll stick with that.
-
I've been using my 56 degree sand wedge about anything that's too close for full swing (at least until I get to chipping range), but I'm wondering if maybe I should be using my 50 degree gap wedge instead. What do most people use for these types of shots?
-
The think slow-mo on my phone only records for a few seconds. Not nearly enough time for me to hit record and get to the ball before it ends. I guess I can play with it and see.
-
So I did another4 "range session" today and did my best to get a DTL and head on video both at regular speed and what slo-mo capabilities the app I use has to offer. For some stupid reason the slo-mo, which wasn't that "slow" anyway, added more personal info that I care to post so I'm not including that.
-
Yes, if you have someone there to take a video for you. I'm somewhat limited in that I'm using a tripod and app that detects and records my swings.
-
I remember checking out V1 before deciding on Zepp but can't remember why I chose not to use it. Does V1 automatically detect your swing and start recording?
-
I've been waiting for the Caddytek rangefinder top go on sale at Costco, but today saw the Mg600s that has the lock confirmation that the Caddytek lacks. Does anyone have experience with both or either that could help?
-
Can anyone recommend a good app for recording my swing without someone to help? I use Zepp currently, which is pretty good but lacks a slow motion option.
-
Sorry, my ability to get videos of myself is pretty limited. I can probably get a face-on, but I usually get slo-mo by reducing the play speed on YouTube.

I've been Playing Golf for: 6 years My current handicap index or average score is: infinity My typical ball flight is: inconsistent The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pull hook Against my better judgement, I'll go ahead and put a couple of video up, but first a little about me. From the get-go I've had two big issue; I ginormous over swing, and not getting my hips through. I do take lessons, but not as often as I'd like. The videos below were from two days this week with a couple of new thoughts I'm working on. I think these are about as good as I can expect right now, but I can't repeat it. Videos:

Help With Swinging Through Ball
srguthrie replied to srguthrie's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
That's the theory, but I've had little success with it. My sad little brain would always start the same way abs make some correction half easy through to get to where I want to be. I've had much more luck thinking about how to properly start. Not really, because in order to throw the club down the target line from a normal back setting position you have to shallow there arms and go almost side arm, like a good golf swing. It feels good, I just totally lose that feel when I get over a ball. -
Help With Swinging Through Ball
srguthrie replied to srguthrie's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I've heard it's more throw the club at the target than right field, and I have played with that in the past but for some reason it never really clicked with me. Lately I've been toying with the feel of getting to my backswing and dropping my right elbow to my body, and that seems to be working. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and go ahead and post a couple of videos. -
Help With Swinging Through Ball

Thanks, that's what I'm thinking about going to. Typically I have more success with thoughts about starting the swing rather than results, but nothing seems to be clicking for me on this one. -
Help With Swinging Through Ball
srguthrie replied to srguthrie's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I've got a couple of videos, but I'm actually doing ok following through in them. I also do get lessons and my coach said my misses were due to my arms getting ot in front. All that said, I can try to post the videos tomorrow if it might be helpful (although I've had bad experiences posting swing videos on another site). -
Hello all, From the first day I picked up a golf club I've struggled with getting my hips and shoulders through the ball; my swing is very armsy. I'm getting closer, but still struggle with it. I hit the ball decent when I do that, but on my bad shots I finish with my shoulders and hips at best 45 degrees to the target. I'm looking for suggestions on thoughts to help me with this. I've been trying to think bout firing the hips to start the swing, but I'm wondering if there's a better option, Maybe think about starting my shoulders, or even think more about getting to my follow through position than focusing on the start. Any suggestions?

Ogio vs Sun Mountain
srguthrie replied to purple drank's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I looked into those when I first picked up my clubs this summer, but I didn't really see anyone else using them so I thought maybe they were just a gimmick. -
I'm looking for a new bag, mosly because I don't like my clubs "sharing" and THINK I want an individual slot for each club. Before I spend a couple hundred bucks though, what are some of the downsides to this? Am I being stupid and should I stick with the bag I have (6 or 8 compartmetns, I think). The one I'm leaning to is the Sun Mountain Four 5 (in fact I bought one, but am considering returning it).
