  1. Thanks. Ill hit less than normal before each round and just work on feel, finesse and shoulder turn. And I will bring advils. I get MEAN hangovers. And Pseudoephedrine for diving/surfing. If those advils arent already packed and my old lady woulda forget them then I owe bwdial at least a few beers if not a sleeve of pro v-1s. I would have been miserable without them. THANKS!
  2. I don't believe you. I bet side by side video comparison would show you somehow that it may feel you'er swinging the same but you must be doing something different.
  3. Straight back, straight down, but yeah.. the wrists. WHY? Why teach people to shake hands or roll their wrists or whatever else? The balls already 20 feet away. It's this sort of instruction that's ruining people. The best benefit of that"maneuver' would be if you ended up with a perfectly flat left wrist and squared club at impact. Repeatable maybe 1 in every ten shots? The timing to get that right just makes it all that much harder. Ridiculous. Start with a flat wrist, weight and shaft forward, bring it in then bring it out to the same position and hit a nice shot. Much more repeatable. I think even non-golfers would wonder why the hell is he turning his club over like that.
  4. Like yuo're holding a baby bird or an egg. Hold it, but no squeeze.
  5. My dad showed me my interlock grip and how to swing a club about 28 years ago ( i was about 5). I didnt stick with it. at about 12 or 13 he took me out on the golf course with his heavy ass leather bag and 14 clubs and whatever the hell else he had in there and taught me how to caddy. I didnt make it a full 18. He had to have his playing partners caddy carry both for the last 6 or so holes. But every round after that I caddied I finished on my own. I still didnt really try and play until about 12 years ago. That lasted a few months. Then just started again about a year ago. If I could surf better I wouldn't golf but last winter the waves were over 20 feet for about 90 days in a row if not longer.
  6. I can't just ignore work calls because I just start wondering what happened until I call. I am on commission. sometimes people will come n with a quote and maybe I didnt put free delivery on it or something stupid so they'll just call me to verify and it's annoying. I asked my boss once "is this worth a call to me on my day off?, Just give it to em." He didn't like that but its true. It may have made a $3 difference in my paycheck. Im just going to tell them dont call me on my days off. Sorry. I dont wanna be bothered. I'm definietly not the best employee either so that factors into it in my head. If you're the #1 producer you can pull whatever you like. Guys in the middle may need to make a little extra effort and I do. 51.5 weeks a year. I just want these 3 days.
  7. That's the thing. I don't have an important job. I'm in ufcking retail. It's weird, it's like noone in this company respects any sort of boundaries. I've had critical 6 and 7 figure deals hit speedbumps in the past and I DID NOT work on weekends or take calls after 6. EVER. Why should a $2000 mattress ruin my weekend? It's unacceptable. As far as leaving the phone off I can't and shouldn't have to. I want my friends and family to be able to reach me. Just not work. If I tell them it will be off they'll call immediately so if anything happens they can say "oh well I dunno I left Joe a message, its on him now." As a matter of fact I may just change the number listed for me too. I'm sick of getting calls on my days off over $25 or $50.
  8. I suck and I have good irons and vokeys but its because I traded some goods at work for a used set. I have a TM R7 quad and its less than 460cc. Old but maybe you awnna look into that in a 10.5. Im actually looking for a 10.5 and a larger head and maybe switch to a ergular shaft too. Or at least try one.
  9. Throw up some pics if you're so proud of her.
  10. On another note are we ever going to fix the glitch that repeats the last word of the first sentence on this site that noones ever mentioned? If you look up it happens with behavior behavior). It gets annoying.
  11. Anything marked tour adds 10 yards right off the bat. Just kidding I dont know. I just wanted to throw that joke in there (trollish behavior) Maybe less loft, or less offset?
  12. I get a TON of BS calls when I'm off from work and one call can ruin my whole day. It's always nonsense too. I took a saturday off for my birthday. I usually have sunday and monday off. I dont wanna be bothered. I will be camping, golfing, surfing and trying to ufcking relax for once.. this is the email I may send hey guys. So this weekend into Monday I will be on a buddhist retreat in the woods. I will have my phone for emergencies, (I don't consider anything work related an emergency) but I probably wont have service and the whole idea of what I'm doing is to not be disturbed. If you call the phone will probably be off, but I may need to turn it on for GPS or something but I will be in nature and would prefer no phone calls. I'm not asking you to handle my problems for me, but maybe just explain to any unhappy clients that I can't be reached and they'll just have to wait until Tuesday. If they want to cancel I would rather them cancel than have this weekend ruined. It's very important to me and I've been waiting over a year for it. The thing is if I say I wont have my phone they'll call and leave voicemails to cover their ass and then I'll see the voicemails and it will bother me and I'll call back to straghten it out so I can relax but that never happens. Lately I have been getting a ridiculous amount of calls on my days off. I mean if I worked a regular 9-5 M-F would anyone call me on a saturday night? NO. I need to know how to etll them to STOP calling me on my days off.
  13. So I had a lot of visitors from out of town and a weekend retreat last week so I havent golfed in almost a month. It sucks. I did hit the range at least once a week and twice this week. I'll be camping this weekend really close to a 9 hole course and on Saturday I'm going to walk at least 9, Sunday walk a hilly 18 and probably walk 18 on Monday. Depending on hangovers. Any tips for going from no golf to ironman golf. lol. Its not really that big a challenge but the rest of the day on Saturday, Sunday and Monday I will be surfing, swimming, spearfishing etc.
  14. So then a afde will go higher but a lot shorter. And what ball flight laws are you using for that? When I push fade it (closed to the target delofting) its usually a low fade where as a push draw from me will be nice and high and land soft becase I started right (Open face adding loft) Now if I could just hit EITHER ONE of them consistently I'd be really happy. Maybe Im ass backwards but I open my stance and strenghten my grip and flatten my wrist for fades (that miss is dangerous) and close my stance and keep a flat wrist and go with a neutral grip for draws (this miss is a straight) I cant see anything in those videos. I hate 4 second swing vids.
  15. How the hell are we supposed to see anything at that speed other than the guy on the left startign it right and the guy on the right starting it straight or slightly left?
  16. Golfshot looks sick. Its my birthday too but 've already made my unlucky GF pay for all osrts of golf crap so I went with a $2 skydroid. Hows it work Mike? I mean what does it do? It doesnt do isht unless you're on the course so is it just a gps, just scoertracker and stats? The skydriod webpage sucks too if you look up a specific cousre it gives you x's instead of yardage. I don't want to pay $29 to find out I have to map them or there are no numbers.. ¿
  17. Ask your range to sell you an old one. I've seen 2 ranges near me selling the older matts. Nothing really wrong with them as far as I could tell either.
  18. God damn am I glad I moved out of NYC. I wouldnt know how to deal with that. We get crowded courses here but only if you really ask for it. Theres always a few empty cousres you can play during the week.
  19. If I got free clubs I'd probably break 68 of them a year. Easy.
  20. Good to hear. Im getting one for my birthday (im 99%) and I did a TON of research. It has everything I want except the handle on top to grab it. Oh well.
  21. I was torn between those 2 as well. I LOVE the Ogio bags. I really wanted the enxos because of the wedge top (14 slots) as opposed to the woode (8 slots?) BUT I am about to pick up the nike sq tour carry. 14 slots and a cooler pocket. Plus the only place I could find with the nexos was some JERK on ebay I dont want to do business with.
  22. Tour model guarantees you will hit longer straighter shots.
  23. Ha. I could. Easily. I mean I could go from 94 to 106 easily from one day to the next as any golfer can and has. I have good $ on stricker to finish #1 on the money list for the end of the year.
  24. #1 - Hitting your 6 instead of your 9 #2 - Hitting your 9 instead of your 6 #3 - Bladed 62* LW that takes your from putting for birdie to putting for bogie #4 - Leaving a 30 foot eagle attempt 8-12 feet short #5 - Smoking a 30 foot eagle attempt 8-12 feet past the hole. I could go on and on but those are my top 5 I think. Numbers 1 and 2 are rare and I think I have those under control but numbers 3,4, and 5 happen way too much for me.
  25. Ding ding ding. Talk to me when a real sport starts (Hockey). I was wondering why I couldn't get any updates on round two yesterday. They didnt play it yet. Cmon Rory. We got $$$ on you. Stricker too. It would be nice if that info was available somewhere on the pga website. I was bored at work and getting frustrated.
