I hit bombs and i can't shoot in the 70s. So no, you doin great. lol I play a lot with a guy that drives it 220 at most. I can outdrive him with my 4i or 4H... and I still lose by at least 10 strokes. Distance is only good if you're accurate. I would take 230 in the fairway all day. Or anything in the fairway as long as you can reach GIR then no, you are not too short.

Lol the only time I have a really fiery temper is when I'm playing Black Ops. That shit pisses me off. Especially getting killed from 2nd chance. Such a load of shit
-
You guys are so angry lol. I would just skip the hole.. then again i dont take things that seriously o well to each his own
-
Er... thats kinda narrow i got a little wider for a pitch and if you're hitting a full shot go about shoulder width/slightly wider... and take a full swing we need a full swing with you really going at the ball not just a little pitch..
-
Yeah your stance is a little wide (I play a wide stance as well) I dont know what club that is, but the ball position should be in the middle, yours is kind of up front. And your weight goes towards your front foot during your backswing, try to keep centered until you begin your downswing and then start that hip slide.. Initiate the downswing with your hips after remaining centered over the ball during your backswing.

I've never met anyone like that. I tend to get more mad at my poor shots than individuals.. I know for a fact if you had thrown my iron just for some words I said I wouldve knocked you out (assuming you're 18). But I suppose it didn't get to him that much because he was kind of instigating it lol. Shitty situation for sure

struggling with half swings
bkoguy07 replied to carpediem4300's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I used to decelerate pretty hardcore with halfswings. Have you tried mentally swinging THROUGH the ball even though you take a half swing? That usually helps me. I just try to accelerate the clubhead through the ball and not worry about the distance because the halfswing really helps with the distance so just don't worry about it really taking off. -
I don't necessarily play a "hard" shot, but say I had a shot that needed to go 160. Possibly could get on with a 9i could also get on with an 8i for sure. Looking at the hole, depending on where the pin is lets say its in the dead middle of the green. So I see bunkers protecting the front of the green but its ok to miss long, I would go with the choked 8i. But water in the back and being long means death, i would definitely hit a 9i and try to put a good normal swing on it and just try to get on. Really depends on my situation, I dont necessarily have a "hard" shot but depending on the trouble and how I choke down I kind of plan for my worst case scenario. Which brings up another point. Unlike some people I can plan / play for a worst case scenario and it not get into my head. Sometimes people I know if they think something will happen thats exactly what happens. Lol that doesn't quite happen to me... but I don't dwell on it. I'm like damn, DONT miss long let me take this 9 instead of 8 bam, magic happens.
-
Do you fade your irons any? Do even fade the slightest with a 9 and as you get down to a 4I it starts fading more? Generally, The longer the club the more exaggerated the misses. Anyways, if you hit your irons straight you're probably just coming OTT with the driver. Work on not coming across the ball but more from the inside out
-
Its a long 8 iron for me, or a choked down 7. Depends on the situation and where a better miss on that particular hole is for me.

Which bounce to get on my scratch wedges?

There is a scatch wedge fitting section on their website... have you tried it? -
I wonder how the teebox is positioned. I didnt read the article or watch the video but if the teebox is above the green its not as bad as one would think... the yardage is just a scary number llol
-
Eh it dont bother me when no one moves. Sometimes I'll have a friend stand behind me on the tee hit my shot and then after the shot asked how my alignment was and get an idea. They dont move or say anything prior to or during my swing though
-
Yeah true who knows. I've been to the mid 300's for BP and it's takin me since i was 18, 5 days lifting pretty serious. i'm 22 now haha o well maybe i'm just jealous ;) (i did it naturally for any wondering too! you wanna be big, eat like you are big)
-
I dont have a wife
-
I'm having a hard time believing his bp went up 255 lbs in 60 days. If he did chest once a week(thats usually normal) for 8 weeks that's a 30lb jump every week..Usually when I'm serious about my training and eating 5k cals a day, my BP would increase 5lbs a week at most. Sometimes every two weeks... 30lb jumps is unusual to say the least..
-
Need a better camera.. anyways, what are your misses like ? Looks like pulls and slices.. you still come over the top. also with driver i would try to keep that left foot planted instead of lifting it up.. (i'm sure some people have success with it but it looks inconsistent at best) have you tried getting a lesson? A pro could probably help you a lot more
-
Allen doyle looks soooo stiff haha
-
I'm curious, I've never quite figured this out (maybe haven't thought hard enough) The 6capper I play with fades the ball and plays it off the deck. Why do these shots tend to cut? I've seen many people talk about the "natural" (for lack of a better word lol) cut of this shot. Why would this shot cut? Even when I tried it, with limited success, the ones I did hit well they had a slight fade ball flight too
-
Did he mean his brothers or the golf swing in general? If he's talking about the golf swing in general: mind = blown
-
You really do need to swing them smooth and easy and you will IMMEDIATELY see a difference. Also hit down on them!! My problem is two things: 1) swinging too hard (getting better with this) 2) picking the ball clean (still working on taking a divot) I was hitting my 4H for so long, its been streaky at best. Somedays I pure it.. other days I hook the crap out of it. I finally benched it and put the 4i back in the bag and boom, way more consistency and essentially the same distance but not quite as high a ball flight (still working on hitting down on it lol) Just really work on them
-
How is your swing plane? I hook my driver (and most things with graphite shaft) right now and its mostly because of my extremely flat swing plane right now, and its bringing my swingplane way inside out = huge hook. Right now I'm working on a more vertical swing plane. I'm still struggling though lol
-
I play with a 6capper pretty frequently and his ball flight is ridiculously high so he always plays driver off deck. Does great with it too! Not sure why he doesn't just tee it lower or anything but Idk he uses his driver like a utility club and he's great with it. He doesnt even owns tee's and NEVER tees anything up. Fantastic player though, its great to see it too
-
I would for my group but I'm soooo poor I'd be scared to announce it lol

Help with fairway bunker shots
bkoguy07 replied to shortstop20's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Yep he's right, Just hit it normal and make sure you hit the ball first. Other than that it will behave normally
