    Tech already max out - just marketing gimmicks?

    Hi, I have a question for which I could not find a satisfying thorough enough answer by googling, so hopefully the experts here can advise... Here goes: Since the USGA have had set limits on club production specs such as MOI, COR, maximum size, maximum shaft length, etc, have they not also...

    How do you judge progress?

    Hi I am a slicer/puller, and have figured out that I have been holding off the release. This is why even when I used to address the ball with a closed face, I still sliced because I ended up opening through impact and left arm chickenwinging. So recently, I have been working on addressing...

    vintage irons for swing improvement

    I bought myself a set of Ben Hogan PT III irons. I believe they are forged blades from 1964. Does anyone know anything about these irons? I can not find any reviews on them, because I guess it predates the internet. Are these still any good or garbage? I really want to become a better ball...

    soft click vs hard clunk

    Most of the time when I hit balls they feel hard and clunky. On occasion it feels really soft, where i barely feel the ball, and it makes a nice sound as well as going a lot further. Does anyone know what I am talking about. If so, do you know how to make that happen more often or on purpose?

    Grip strange blister/callous

    Hi, I am right handed and use a conventional overlap grip. Lately I've been getting blistered/calloused on the outside of my right ring finger, next to my pinky, between the first and second knuckles counting from the tips. I believe there is friction/ rubbing between this area and my left...

    double bogey blues - how to putting it all together

    Hi, I feel like I am a relatively decent golfer and feel like I am right at the cusp of really breaking through to be a better player, but I just can't get my scores to improve. I have been stuck in the low 100s (shot 102, 105, 104, 100 etc for the last several games). I've shot 94 once...

    is it my left elbow?

    i have a strong-ish grip and am aligned parallel to target line. i'm focusing on starting my swing with my lower body, not casting, and approaching the ball from the inside, but am still hitting fades/slices or pulls. i think my swing looks decent, but notice my left elbow juts out in my...

    if you can hit a 1 iron...

    The longer the iron, the more swing flaws are magnified, correct? Which is why it is harder to hit my 3 and 4 irons versus my shorter irons. But I have noticed, at the range, after practicing a while with my longer irons, the short irons are even easier to hit and I am that much more...

    my swing - any thoughts?

    I've wanted to do this forever. If anyone has a second to take a look and make any quick observations I would really appreciate it. Sorry for the low quality, but you can still get a general sense, like the plane of my followthrough is much steeper than my backswing...

    ballooning slices and fat irons

    Hi, I am hitting very high ballooning push slices and my mishits on my irons are fat, and i have a feeling these two problems could be related. I have a decently fast swing, around 105-110mph. I have ultralight stiff vapor graphite shafts in my nicklaus n1 pro irons and my buddies comment on...

    2 questions - no glove good? which part of the mat?

    I have always played with a glove, but have noticed when i remind myself to grip firmer with my left hand and relax more with my right, my shots are better. Would the lack of a glove naturally make me hold the grip tighter with my left hand, since i would would have to hold tighter to prevent...

    Driving & long irons good / short irons wedges terrible

    Can someone please help me figure out what is happening to me? I started out hitting my short irons and wedges very consistently, but like other beginners had a hard time with longer irons and woods. I've slowly improved to where i can really hit my woods well. However, now i cannot hit my...

    NSA Grandpa Swing

    I slice big time. After NSA, I am incorporating the twistaway trying to keep my clubface perpendicular to my swingpath, but this feels very tight and restrictive. I used to have a big fluid swing, although I didn't like the results, but with NSA I feel like my twistaway-backswing is very...

    D-Plane - A Slicer's Analysis

    I know the root cause of a slice is the open clubface, but the D-plane illuminated for me, how and why I was still slicing :confused:, even while hitting aggressively in2out. :rolleyes: I hope this will be as helpful for others as it was for me :eek:. Please, flip my analysis around for a...

    Golfaholic but terrible but eager to learn

    I am a beginner, completely obsessed with the game, but a very poor golfer. I have been prowling around this site for a while, but first time posting. I have purchased NSA, SD, and COAFF in that order. This is my second season of golf and as you probably assumed, I have a big banana slice...
