M0nk3y Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Why not. My Set-Up: http://img.tapatalk.com/aee74259-2f6f-cc00.jpg First time out on the range today, my swing (and you creepers can see what I look like) I was lining up down the stakes (couldn't position the video completely behind me). Both Iron shots were about 2 yards right of the stakes landing (slight push). Driver shot was about 5-10 yards right...but rolled out to about stake location (if you were to draw a line down the stakes)(My natural Drive ball Flight). If anyone sees anything, feel free to critique me. I don't want to develop a bad habit early. 7 Iron Shot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uy9snXIzfcw&feature=channel 5 Iron Shot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUEYG0V99CI&feature=channel Driver Shot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UR7cZSPVTk&feature=channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I have never golfed. Something I would like to try. Driving range yes. Mini golf yes. But to actually play, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidward Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Ill play, AP2 iron, vokey wedges, G10 driver, yes! putter. all built by myself custom fit blah blah blah. Went to states senior year, havent played much this last year but am making it a point to get as much in this year as possible. Ive got a bad habbit of over turning and letting my wrists fall behind when I swing through (leaving the ball out to the right) Looks like you dip a little at the bottom of your swing, and try to keep your left knee more solid through the swing.

verse Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I play probably 10-15 times a year. I used to play a lot more often, but balancing so many hobbies is expensive. Not great, mid 90's normally, best I've shot was an 82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brrcats Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Last year was my first year playing, i joined a work league. 9 holes every monday. I was horrible starting out, i think my greatest was a 76 or something for 9, yeah, that bad. I had my best day about midway through, hit in the high 30's I think. Settled back into the high 40's for the rest of the season. My form tends to slide a little bit for 18 holes, I get a little tired and a little drunk and leads me to my best score of 103. My clubs are shit, hippo driver, no-name irons (literally couldnt even find them with a google search). But I got a nice putter for christmas, so I'm hoping it evens out my putting a little.

My iron game is pretty strong though with my shit clubs, just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd really like to get a better set, but I'm definitely a budget player and a novice. My iron game is pretty strong though with my shit clubs, just wondering. Never seeing you play, it is hard to say. I would bet though a true full cavity back and a nice stiff shaft (not sure on your club speed) would yield better ball control and distance. This is the case with most Sunday golfers, I would almost put money on it. These clubs are sick (and I can get them to CR guys cheap) http://www.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikegolf/en_US/products/details?sku=gi7589 http://i.cdn.turner.com/dr/golf/www/release/sites/default/files/imagecache/article_large_image/article_images/nike_vrs_irons.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0nk3y Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Cavity Backs would be your best bet. If you go blades (similar to my clubs) you'll be cursing left and right...it's hard to get consistent shots if you don't have your swing down.

It's probably you releasing your wrists and rolling the club over. So when you come through the ball your club face isn't perpendicular to the ball. There can be alot of options It's a good practice to take half swings to make sure you come through the ball straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojoe Posted March 18, 2012 Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 I have played golf. I'm ok at golf and like to hit things. People that are all GOLF; I just want to see it rain artilery rounds down on the course while they play. Then, I think it might be more fun. I find it funny the slight hate for golf I have and can't see why it's posted on here. Then the reality is this, guns don't belong on here either, yet that something I enjoy reading and seeing on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
