Stop Aiming at the Flag!!! #DeadCenter
96p993 replied to david_wedzik's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
What I get from this is trying to eliminate "tunnel vision" for almost all amateur players. When focusing on the flag many golfers focus so much they dont see all the other factors that go into a solid score on the hole. I would say its much like shooting pool, a good player always looks several shots ahead. A not so good player just wants to get the ball in the pocket. By aiming the middle and not aiming at a 4'25" hole, I believe, will take pressure off thus allowing a better more rhythmic swing (good tempo)... I also came to the conclusion long ago that comparing myself to a Tour Professional is absolutely absurd. Im simply not even close to that caliber. -
You are making a point for getting fit by a pro...Maybe he has no idea where his specs need to be, so you recommend buying something off the shelf. Getting fit is having someone figure out your specs based upon the swing you have now. Down the road you can get your specs changed on clubs if and when he gets better. I dont think anyone should buy off the rack (especially new) without having someone take a look at their swing and the clubs. Easiest and probably most misunderstood would be shaft selection...So many simply buy a Stiff shaft when they have no idea of swing speed, odd to think you could gain 10 yards by going down in stiffness.
-
Horrible advice!! What does that even mean??? Yes absolutely get fit, make sure all specs are where they need to be. If possible I would do this outside instead of off mats and hitting into a screen. A true fitting might show the fitter needs to adjust lie on every club but differently on every club. You really just dont know... If you have to hit inside due to weather or no outdoor fitters find a good local fitter that has been doing this for a long time. Many people cut corners or simply just dont know what they are doing. Take your time, find the right person, get the right clubs for YOU, enjoy the game. This is for irons, wedges, woods, drivers, putters...everything

Are Staff bags pretentious??
96p993 replied to Newc's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I agree with this...I never said anything about others abilities, financial situation, wants or needs. I would simply prefer to spend it in other areas... -

Or food, water, gum, etc...Guess I would rather be a decent striker of the ball then look good sitting on my cart. Staff bags arent pretentiousm there just isnt any need for a bag the big and expensive... -

3-500.00 buys a lot of lessons... -
I would look at the Titleist AP1 and possibly the new 2014 Adams XTD irons. If you are set on used I would look at the AP1 in the 712 version, you should be able to pick them up at a good price.

I have a mental block for hybrid clubs, I just cant seem to hit them...I love my 3-4 irons and hit them quite a bit off the tee. I recently decided to see if I could find a driving iron to get a bit more distance and control off the tee when the driver isnt in use. I tried just about everything but simply could not find that feel I was looking for. Several days ago I stumbled onto an Adams DHY driving iron in a 21 degree. The club is a mix of driving iron and a hybrid but really sets up and swings like a long iron. I instantly loved the club and have ordered both the 21 and 24 degree clubs....Might be worth checking out

Restoring/Refinishing My Scotty Cameron Catalina
96p993 replied to tpcollins's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting

Will do, she arrives on Monday...

Well since I was given a 30 day test drive on the putter I went ahead and bought one...Hopefully be here before weeks end.

Best Golf Shoes I've Ever had on my feet
96p993 replied to RandomGolfer's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I owned a pair for a couple weeks..The spikes came out during full swings. They would actually pop out, I got to the point where I could feel them pop out...Hopefully they fixed the issue.. -
That pretty much sums it up, its all in the eye of the beholder. I play a Seemore putter and quite like it, but I simply appreciate the out of the box thinking and the science that went into this putter...Beman was also one hell of a putter back in his day
-
I am very much a traditionalist with my irons but If a putter drains putts Im not concerned about the looks (all about alignment). I appreciate a company getting away from the everyday Anser putter shape and the typical mallet. The other company Im looking at is Bobby Grace, another company that pushes they envelope with shape... I can say its certainly not the strangest looking putter I have seen but it is different.
-
Thanks for the pics...I am a big center shaft fan and love the adjustability of the lie angle. I am impressed they send you all the additional weights to go from 350 to 600 grams in the head. I guess this is something Im not used to when buying from the big boys. They also told me they would be more then happy to give me a test drive on the putter for 30 days to make sure Im happy with it.

I am very interested in these putters and I know they came across quite well and popular at the PGA Show, just wondering what peoples thoughts were on these putters. Did anyone play around with them at the show?

20.00 for a brass brush is pretty expensive when you can buy brass brushes from lowes/home depot for a couple bucks. I usually buy a three pack cause I use the other around the house... http://www.lowes.com/pd_324828-995-3410481_4294715832__?productId=3166529&Ns;=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl;=1¤tURL;=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar|1%26page%3D1&facetInfo;= Just an option...

I have them in my KBS Tours due to an elbow problem...While I dont notice them at all most of the round I definitely know they are in the shaft when a thin shot occurs. I would give them a thumbs up from my experience with them. For the OP it is a cheap possible fix for the feel situation. Give them a try...
