  1. Is there a point in development that this changes? I've never done much practicing, range before a round if my driver or irons aren't cooperating and 3 or 4 min on practice green to get a feel for speed. is there a point when solid full swing mechanics become good enough that more time should be spent else where?
  2. Why does a person with a bigger foot need a bigger shoe? If you want to play a standard set and hit an 8 iron when you should be hitting a pw because thats the correct length (I think thats what you're trying to get at) then go ahead. I have a half inch added to mine because when I play standard clubs I hit it thin. You will tell me I should just club down two clubs because it would be the same length as an extended club? Guess what, I would still top it because the lie changed too, plus why would I need the extra 25 yds? Why is standard length the standard length, answer that and you'll answer your own question.
  3. I was 6'2" when I was fit for my clubs 6 years ago, they are 1/4" long with no lie change. I'm 6'4" now and still hit them fine, but if I wear taller shoes my iron play falls apart. I'll get properly fitted for a new set when I can let go of my current one.
  4. If people are thinking this hard over a 2-3 foot putt then I can't imagine how many swing thoughts are running through their head on the tee. On putts that short I'm usually only concerned about speed and break if it has a ton of break, otherwise all I think about is making the ball in the hole, but maybe I'm just naive.
  5. First video I think your setup is a little too upright. The second video is closer, but you slouch a little bit in the last videos. I've never been that good at analyzing swings, but thats what I noticed with your setup.
  6. I bought my previous 3w from the site. It had the idiot mark on the top as advertised, but I got a year old club for 25% of new.
  7. This probably isn't what you want to hear, but I feel like you hit your irons really far for an 11; 185 is a pretty big 7 iron. My assumption is that you could improve your accuracy from 185+ by taking an extra club and swinging easier.
  8. Practice with the clubs you play with. I hear the heads of golf clubs are made out of this special material, metal I think it is called, that holds up quite well against golf balls. You'll find a new set of clubs that you know will improve your game before you wear them out. pro tip I received once: don't hit rocks
  9. You're a 5 handicap and asking about hands in front of the ball at impact? curious
  10. My best this year is the same as my best last year, but I've worked on simplifying my swing. I am more consistent this year, dropping my average score at my home course by ~2.5 strokes.
  11. If you grip the bat properly with the second knuckles lines up, then you only "need" to change the position of your left thumb to under your right hand. (could be wrong cause i've always interlocked). I played baseball all through high school and golfed the whole time with no problems because the swings are so different. Lifting your front foot a little might not be a problem because you can key off that to start your downswing. When you put your foot back down, that can start your weight transfer and also your downswing. In baseball you set your front foot down, then drive your hands through the ball. Golf is the same except your weight follows your front foot.
  12. I am assuming you don't know half the terms everybody is using. Since the slice is the most common problem for beginners I'd recommend doing a search here, on google, and on youtube for "how to fix a slice." You'll find a lot of good advice here, videos from instructors, and a lot of advice from people who are as good as you.
  13. I struggled with the same issue a few years ago, and this grip change took care of it for me. I rotated my bottom hand more on top of the club. It felt weird at first, but it helped.
  14. When you say divot on the ice you're referring to a slap shot, and good players look at the puck for most slap shots. For the more accurate shots players always look at their target. We have a few greens that are two tiered, so I use this method on them when I'm on the bottom tier.
  15. Haven't hit the driver, but I bought the i20 3-wood with the tfc shaft. It launches lower than any other 3w I've had, which is why I bought it. I hit both shafts, and the project-x didn't feel right, and I don't feel the money for another shaft is worth it.
