Yeah, I think maybe i am coming in too steep with my wedges. Strange. i need to learn to shallow out my swing with all clubs, but deinitely with the wedges. Obviously.

To upgrade or just regrip old ones
Joeyvee replied to Maddmaxx63's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Absolutely. If you can lower the pressure lower the pressure though. You don't need a lot of air flow, or pressure at all. I like it because it was cheaper, and I can regrip in 2 minutes if I wanted to. Oh, and for the record Ping Eye II's are great clubs. Yes, there are "better" clubs out there, but if you hit those well enjoy them. I have a set I dust off every once in a while and I still hit them fine. -

I mounted new grips on a complete set of irons (4-GW) using a can of compressed air. Like the kind you use to clean off your keyboard. It's not at all difficult. -
Yes, this is all off of the mat. I don't typically hit my wedges, or any irons, fat when I'm playing though. But I guess I may hit my wedges a little more steep than my irons..

Should I actually bounce my wedges? Let me explain. I have a 54*-10 and a 58*13 wedge. Both were bent from 52 and 56. This is not the first time this has happened though, it used to happen before. But if i am at the range and I hit these clubs, more so with the 58, I sometimes here the bounce ground out just before I hear the impact to the ball. I am fairly happy with my wedge play, and I wouldn't really change it now, but is this normal? The ball flight and distance is fine, but would you guys suggest I have too much bounce? Or Not enough? I'm looking for new SM6 wedges, just because I want them, and I'll probably go to a Titleist fitting as well, but I thought I would throw this out there.

What shot should be the first learn after full?
Joeyvee replied to Joeyvee's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I used to caddy at WGC and used to hit hundreds of sand trap shots over the course of a week. I used to pick the ball clean out and get it to where I could get a decent put in easily, but that was when I was a kid. My swing has changed, and the ranges near me don't have the same sand traps on them that Winged Foot had :( I am not a CC member anywhere either this year. -
If you damaged your grip or golf club in any way you should not be allowed to walk. It is really simple.

I have done a full set of irons with ONE can of compressed air. Like the ones you steal from work that are made to blow out the keyboard etc.. I put electrical tape around the straw that came with the can to provide a seal in the grip hole and went at it. Was it easy? No, but it wasn't particularly hard.

Good morning. I won this bag a while ago and I haven't used it, and I am thinking of selling it, but I'm not sure if it is a cart bag or a staff bag. What would you guys call it? Most importantly what shoudl I ask for it? I saw some Titleist staff bags going for $600 which is what reminded me that I had this one sitting in a plastic bag in my basement unused. It has been personalized with the name of a Private Jet Time Share company. <blockquote class="imgur-embed-pub" lang="en" data-id="a/q19cz"><a href="//imgur.com/q19cz"></a></blockquote><script async src="//s.imgur.com/min/embed.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Put some lead tape on the bottom until you get the feel back. 1.5" is a big jump to cut off a club in one shot, and changes the swing weight. the fade maybe coming in because you don't feel the club moving off plane.

Getting clubs fitted on line
Joeyvee replied to ThumbtackR9's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Ever think that the fitters may not work out of a golf shop? There are several in my area who work out of ranges etc.. Google it. But to answer your question - No. I don't think an online golf fitter would work. As an example I have tried True Tempers shaft fitter several times, and I have never been matched up with the proper shaft. -
That backswing is ridiculously long. cut it in half and hit a bucket like that swinging easy. Also with the grip posts, it looks like you're squeezing the isht out of those clubs. Take it easy. I could be wrong, you may have the perfect grip strength, but squeezing the club is only wasting energy, and tensing up muscles you need to keep loose in order to turn.
-
Ok, let's assume you can strike the ball fairly cleanly and you break 90 often enough. Your full shot is acceptable, and you want to start practicing some useful, yet easy shots. What would be the easiest to work on, and give the greatest rewards? For me I think the bump and run with a 7 or 8 iron. It's easy and saves a lot of strokes.

Could potentially be untrue for some golfers. I would guess several Female Golfers have had clothing deals that rivaled, if not greatly exceeded, their potential revenue from Tour Winnings. That is IF we can draw a comparison between Men's and Women's sports. I know they're very different economically, but IIRC, Michael Jordan made a TON more money off of his shoes than his Basketball contracts and he was the best.

OOoohhhh. I thought they mean under pants. Lol. Yeah, no one should wear leggings outside of a Yoga class, or gym. Were these golfers trying to wear those on the course? That's terrible.

Need help making purchase decision..
Joeyvee replied to EasyJ86's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I would say to start out by getting fit. You will save time by not trying, or buying, clubs that are wrong. Be 100% honest with the fitter, and tell them you may have to buy last years clubs, if you can find them, with the shaft he recommends. -
Thinking about getting fit for new irons.
Joeyvee replied to tosob's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I think in order to get the best club for you, you should be brand agnostic. Find a fitter you trust explicitly and let them do their job. -
I've been in this camp for a LOOOONNNGG time. I had a TM R7 Quad when it was new and I knew something was off. Looked at the length and it was stupid long - then it was only about 44 3/4" I think. Chopped off the 3/4" and gained accuracy. I was at an Iron fitting yesterday and told the fitter who recommended to replace the gram weights with 6 grams to get the swing weight back up and he said length, forgiveness, and accuracy would further increase. OR add lead tape if you don't have the weighted screws. He also said I should get heavier shafts for my hybrids.

Cuz he's not a 2.7

Advice needed how to buy (used) clubs as a beginner
Joeyvee replied to jaochoo's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I have to say that is one of the stupidest things you've ever read. I have a friend who was very athletic and had great swing speeds, very fast. He needed stiff flex, with low trajectory, heavy shaft and a heavy club head to get him dialed in and his game improved in huge LEAPS. Suppose you have a 70-80 mph Driver swing speed and a 50-60 mph swing speed with a 7 iron. You would need whatever specs work for that. Get fit if you can afford it, just tell the guy you can't order new 2017 GI clubs. You can always add 0.75 - 1.00 inch extensions to your clubs. -
I've created a way to build a golf swing!!!!!
Joeyvee replied to JoeB from Tennessee's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Just so we're all in the same place with regards to science, I have to point out that centrifugal force does not actually exist. It is important to note that the centrifugal force does not actually exist. We feel it, because we are in a non-inertial coordinate system. Nevertheless, it appears quite real to the object being rotated. This is because the object believes that it is in a non-accelerating situation, when in fact it is not.- 163 replies
