  1. the problem is slow golfers now..they are slower now because in the old days you could hit into their group without having to worry to much about being sued..if you are getting hit at all the time you are too frigging slow..while out for a walk I stopped to hopefully watch some shots into a green..golfer walked 150 yards or more up from his cart up without any clubs to survey his 75yish shot to the green with groups behi nd his groups. Then he waddled back to the cart and back to his with two wedges and no putter and airmailed the green ..i had to tell him where his ball went. One course i played 18 holes in 2h 15 walking in the fall and in 5h30m in a cart on a not that crowded day in the summer..3hrs 15 minute of waiting..speed up!
  2. But your putter is a hockey stick
  3. you must be a woman..your posts are very confusing...it seemed from all the posts you have made (more than the guy you said posts too much on this thread) that you hated the JV method , but you allegedly use it..ps.who care about the science of the swing..it is.wether it works.for some people..i was talking to the greens mower while he was cutting the practice green..he.said "I will fix your swing" and hopped off his mower. He.asked for a club and ball and took a perfect shot using the jim ventos method. He.showed me how to do it and told me i will hit perfect shots. I hit a perfect one and have hit all perfect shots for the last couple of weeks. Beat paying the pga pro $150 usd /45 minutes for so, so, instruction. All that matters is that it works for someone..especially for me..don't care about you.
  4. Hi...you say it is not true, but youre basically saying its true...you dont normally hit a driver off the ground so you could just lower the shaft in the air at address like you said the old guy would have said..ps do a lot of these guys really need flatter lies because they are under 6 feet? Ping eye 2 drivers came in dfferent lies for tall and short guys ..i am 6 feet so maybe that's why i dont care because everything is made for me...i take black dot pings....i do get a kick out of guys who say they changed their $700 to 11* etc...when drivers were $ 200 you could just buy an 11*..not rocket science..by the way my $100 new on sale 11* 2007 big bertha 460 (maxed out legal cor, size etc)i think came with a closed face, internal heel,weighting and probably a flatter lie because Callaway knows 90% of the guys need that and they had models preset for the other 10%...around that time the head engineers at Callaway and ping said adjustable drivers were a dumb idea. Every 6 months now Taylor made comes out with a new drivers that they have evidence increases distance by always 8-10 yards.....in 10 years that is 200 yards more driver carry...yesterday on nbc they showed rorys only 10 yard driver increase over the last 10 years and that is after all the bulking up with weights and the new balls that supposedly added 10 yards every year....
  5. you are right and you explained everything well. Most guys say something without explaining where they are coming from and leave out half the facts. a/guys will only use 3-5 irons and say you just have to practice more leave out 1/that they must be fast swingers 2/if all you had to do is practice more wheres their 1 and 2 iron? 3/they dont mention todays ball is a low spin ball b/guys who only use 3-5 hybrids say you just have to go through 20 of them to find ones you can hit and high lofted woods hit the ball too high, but.. 1/they wont try more than one high lofted wood 2/pga pros hit towering irons to hold the green anyway...played with my neighbour at the course hes a pro at...he hit a towering iron into the green...i hit my 25* wood shot at about the same height i think but inside his ball...(he didnt like that)...ps..man he hits a high 3 wood. 3/hybrid guys dont mention that they are diggers and swing a bit faster than slower swinging high lofted wood guys who also tend to sweep the ball
  6. pgnapathy is in india so he needs his long irons to kill snakes and to keep bengel tigers away... When i was young an old guy told me if i wanted to close the face of my driver or iron more to just close the face at set up and then grip the club...pretty sure thats all my sons crapp xr driver was doing when you moved the sleeve. that callaway sleeve was only changing how the club sat on the ground anyway...he could have just opened or close the face and regripped a non adjustable driver plus all he actually did was get rid of that driver and just work on his swing....berhard langer has his iron grips put on closed so he magically has adjustable irons the old school way....man he hits accurate iron shots...like a german machine..ps...i see pros with iron heads that are custom made just for them with lead tape on the heads...lol..ps..never understand why guys who call hybrids hook machines 1/play them 2/always buy hybrids with offset...
  7. I miss the days when the first response on a thread used to be "please dont post on a zombie thread" or" I have no expertise or knowledge to answer your question, but ...". ps ...my other favorite posts now are by scratch golfers who have 2 or 3 serious if not crippling swing issues.
  8. my sons 585: titleist hybrids have a square to perhaps bit open face...thats what the titleist literature says too.ps...the awful xr callaway driver my son had was a gimmick..when you adjusted it you were only really adjusting how it sat on the ground...you could just have turned the grip in your hand like any nonadjustable driver and got the same hook or open face....ps...did you notice that the taylormade aeroburner increases swingspeed and distance...main reason is because it was built without all the adjustment crap so it would be lighter and therefore faster and give you more distance...my 2007 titanium big bertha nonadjustable driver is longer than any of my buddies new adjustable drivers i try on the range just to compare and so i can rub it in to them.
  9. if you check Second Swing Golfs videos they compare irons to hybrids to 9 woods and the hybrids have thenworst dispersion..i went with high lofted woods because inam normally a low ball hitter so high lofted woods give me the proper trajectory and are dead straight...i guess ing that anyone who orefers a hybrid are diggers and it is sweepers of the ball that are far better off with high lofted woods...ps also so esy to hook a hybrid but pretty hard to hook a wood in comparison.
  10. I dont get the adjustable club gimmick...why not just buy a 25* hybrid...just buy a taylormade rescue mid 25* hybrid on ebay cheap..30 bucks... instead of wasting 500 bucks on a silly adjustable club
  11. guywool..you were right! 8 years later super long hitter dustin johnson has a 9 wood in his bag...now it is trendy...site says it took 2832 days for you to be right..
  12. I find that people who like to label people like to be bullies (feel labelled yourself now...lol). It is perhaps ironic that it is harder to have a debate with a liberal than a conservative person...lol
  13. "... he maxed out at 152mph club head speed." I don't have a trackman etc, but my max is below 152...pretty sure.
  14. I like it when guys happen to drop that their swing speed is only in the 120s. Average Golf Swing Speed Chart Swing Speed Rank & Name Average Swing speed Fastest Speed #2 Rory McIlroy 122 mph 125 mph #4 Tiger Woods 122 mph 129 mph #5 Gary Woodland 122 mph 126 mph #6 Tony Finau 122 mph 127 mph
  15. I was out playing on a very sunny, but very cold evening tonight. Found a pink Bridgestone Lady ball and hit it instead of the Pro V I had been using. I'm not positive, but it seemed to go further than the Pro V. Guess this is why guys used to use these in the cold. Pretty easy to find too in the leaves etc...Would give me an excuse to buy more balls that I don't need. I would actually buy pink ones because they would be so much easier to find in the fall when the courses are covered in leaves.
