Would you ride the Golfboard?
grandaddy510 replied to Foursum Golf's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
We rented them in Las Vegas at Las Vegas National for $20. They had the bag stand/handle bars attached and it had a cup holder. The control switches were on the handle bar, not the wireless remote version. It did make the round more enjoyable and it makes you want to explore more of the course and take the scenic route to your ball. However we had a fivesome and they did speed up play for us. We never fell behind although the group in front was a little slow. They could be a little dangerous around cart paths with curbs which a few of us found out the hard way. I would rent one again for sure. -
^making it harder by trying to find a way to make it easier lol. its marketed towards mid to high cappers like me, most of who are looking for the miracle swing fix. when i was coming ott and slicing i tried putting an r9 on draw, didn't help me one bit. so i spent countless nights on the range (free buckets lol) trying to hit draws with the fade setting hosel. now i hit slight draws, and play a slight open face with my irons at address.

draw biased driver vs adjustable driver
grandaddy510 replied to bigbear43's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
get an adjustable. that way when your swing gets better you can adjust it accordingly. if you get a draw biased driver you may never fix your swing fault with that club. and if you do you might have a bad hook. -

Low Cost Alternatives to the GP New Decade MC?
grandaddy510 replied to colin007's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
check ebay for sharpro. they are less than half the price. and i'm pretty sure GP stole the design from them. -
if you bet on the course, do you bet with the books?
grandaddy510 replied to grandaddy510's topic in Sports
its easy really if you get hot and you keep rolling it over you double up every time, of course its just as easy to lose it. i hit on pro bowl over 1st half for 100, rolled over 200 on 2nd half over, turned 100 to 400 in a day. then rolled over 400 onto green bay turned that into 800, along with a green bay and over parlay 100 to win 250 and another 100 for 2nd half over. since i was up a threw a few 100 on some bball games and thats how you get up to 1650 starting with a 200 bank roll and starting with 50 plays. its not like i go undefeated, in this run to finish the season i went 15-4-1 since pro-bowl. just because they are straight bets i'm parlaying the winnings to double up which is how i won that much. so i was risking a few hundred at a time. like i said in my OP i usually average 50-100 unless i get hot which is what happened. same thing at the black jack table or crap table, if its hot you bet big!! -
May have been hosed not sure looking for help
grandaddy510 replied to scarsaint's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
if you're buying heads only from ebay, most likely they are counterfit. what country did they ship from? -
it's funny how some people think it's okay to piss on the course but not spit. lol. spitting on the course is like rain drops in the ocean. seriously if you can piss on the course you might as well be able to take a shit right? the geese at my home course do all over the place. if its not in a place where someones hand is going to get close to it like marking on the green or a loogie where im going to tee my ball up, i dont think its that serious (the spit that is)

Scotty Cameron Paint Fill Removal
grandaddy510 replied to IUHoosierMatt's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
i used lacquer thinner and a plastic scrub brush and most of the paint came right off on my studio style. for the hard to reach places i used an x-acto knife and was able to get everything off in about 10 min. -

Best Tips You've Heard For Slicers?
grandaddy510 replied to Bill Bowman's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
i used to be a big slicer due to coming over the top, now my ball is mostly straight or a tiny draw. and all i did was practice the jim furyk swing, maybe not as drastic but get the feeling of it. never took lessons been playing since summer 08 and it finally hit me watching hank haney : ray ramano to figure out i was taking it too inside on the backswing and coming over the top on the down. started doing the opposite taking outside on the backswing and it will drop in the slot on the downswing and you'll be on plane, reverse the loop. of course you need to make sure your shoulders aren't turning back around before your hips fire so they can clear to drop the club in -
Need help making my swing less steep. Any excersises?
grandaddy510 replied to Todd Ruggere's topic in Golf Talk
i've been working on getting my hands deeper at the top, this will flatten out your plane. -
i think anywhere but the green/fringe is ok. and when you are inside the tee box as well since people are almost or are touching the ground in this area, but if you are standing on the side of the tee while your playing partner is teeing up, i think thats fine. i play with people who chew tobacco and they always spit in a cup when on the course, and I would hope most people who chew do the same thing.

just interested to see how many people here who bet on the course also bet at the sportsbook. any action whether its playing the match ups for a golf tourney like d. johnson -130 vs. phil mickelson +100, or betting football, baseball, basketball, parlays, ect. i'm always playing skins, greenys, sandys, ect with the 4some on the course. i personally only bet football and an occasional golf future or prop. usually avg $50-100 plays unless i get hot i might throw a couple 100s. i love parlays. i won big on the super bowl from the money i won the previous week on the pro bowl OVER lol. cleaned up with GB and the OVER. parlayed and straight up, and also had the 2nd half over. great way to end the season. pulling out $1650 from my beted account next week might have to get something new for the bag

PURE grips guarantee the tackiness for one year or they will replace it. it's not as tacki as some other brands but i've found it to be just right. durability wise, you barely notice any wear for quite some time compared to a lot of other grips. and with an air compressor are some of the easiest grips to install
-
a good rule of thumb to see if you have the proper size is if your lower hand (right for righty) middle and ring finger barely touches the pad of your palm under the thumb. if your nails or fingers dig in and feels like you could be holding the club too tight, they are too small. if the fingers are too spread from the palm and your release motion feels restricted, they are too big.

Putter Paintfill Project (1st try fill)
grandaddy510 replied to marengo's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
looks pretty sick. i just painted my rife but only blk and wht fills which match the lamkin grip. yours pops with the red added to the tear drop. good job -
here's a general size chart. i would wear an XL and i use midsize pure grips. the brand and grip style will be personal depending on firmness and tackiness so you should try out several different kinds. but you will deffinently want to try the midsize or jumbo grips

i've had skydroid for almost a year and it has distance to hazards ect. you can either scroll to each target by pressing the up and down arrows to get front middle and back of hazard, or you can press the target button and it will show an overhead satellite view with distance points to hazards, layups, ect. for .99c it has a lot of features. i think they may have raised the price, but im not sure cause after you d/l it it takes the price off
-
i dont think acetone is strong enough. i use lacquer thinner and a tooth brush, comes off pretty easy. then if there is any, scrape the hard to reach places with an x-acto knife and the paint is off within a few minutes.

Just did a simple fill on my cayman brac, didn't really like the stock blue, and this matches the grey/blk lamkin 3gen. I did this a while back but it needs to be redone. still thinking how i want to do it but this one is on the shelf right now so no rush.
-
i have a droid incredible and also downloaded the skydroid app for .99c and it pretty much does the exact same thing my callaway upro does, and distances were dead on side by side. if the upro was still worth anything i'd sell it and use the droid. i've heard golflogix is a really good app and they have it for both. i don't think the deciding factor should be the golf apps between the two since they have great apps for both. if you are going to be using it for other things you might want to do some research on music, internet, email, text, multi-tasking, ect as well. you can't go wrong with either

i dont wear a glove but it would be XL. i've been playing for 2.5 years, i've had my lie angles adjusted, playing the correct shaft, but never gave a thought about grip size till reading a recent article. needed to replace my grips so i decided to order some midsize pure grips. the difference is huge as far as how loose and free you can hold and maneuver the club while feeling secured. i've gained some yardage and it just feels so much more comfortable.
