F6S2QMS5LPUH.jpegone of my favourite setups in a while. 9 clubs

Small (388cc) driver playing at 44.5”

18* 5wood

25.5* 5hybrid

32* 6iron

40* 8iron

48* PW

60* LW

46* Chipper

Face On Side Saddle 2Ball putter 42” 80* lie angle

 

The chipper is deadly from 80yds and in. Even though it’s only 46* it’s very heavy and launches sky bombs with serious backspin. The putter is a new experiment with only one round and maybe 8 hours of practice time. Inside six feet is deadly but my distance controls is totally off. Still working on it. Also, all of my clubs, including the chipper, have JUMbomax grips that I use a split grip on.

Absolutely love this setup. We have a lot in common. I would recommend JUMbomax grips with a baseball grip.

I prefer to carry this setup but I almost got a hernia a month ago so I push a cart for now.

Not quite as hardcore as some of you fellas but this is my every round bag nonetheless. Found myself dropping clubs for a couple seasons in a row and decided to build my dream set before the beginning of last year. Perhaps it all came out a bit tragically hip but I love it and have played the best golf of my life with it.

Well I played today with one of my set ups--- I have so much vintage stuff so I change around quite a bit--- Having trouble with pics so sorry

Driver 1957 Macgregor Velocitized persimmon

1 iron Ping Eye 2

5,7,9. PW 1962 Macgregor FC-4000

SW Hickory shafted Spalding Dynamiter

Putter Hickory shafted Otey Crisman Calamity Jane style.

Played 9 holes sorta cutting around on the course and it is still wet and windy managed to shoot +4 which was not too bad considering the conditions. Main thing was I did walk sorta 9 holes even though it would have been farther if I had went by proper course layout.

Heres mine:

Tommy Armour Atomic 10.5*

Tommy Armour Atomic 5-wood

Tommy Armour Atomic 5, 7, 9 and AW

Tommy Armour VCG 56*

Dunlop TDPlus putter

 

I really like this setup. I started playing it the last half of last year and kind of fell in love with the simplicity of it, how creative it allowed me to be and how much easier my bag was to carry. Ive played a couple rounds this winter with a full 14-club bag and I honestly dont think that I play any better with 14 clubs because I can take a bit off a club by gripping down on it and I can turn my 56 into a 52 or 58 by simply opening/closing the face or playing the ball forward or back in my stance.

Got me some lovely new mizuno irons.... Sadly they're in my locker.... Sadly like everyone else I'm in self isolation ? but I treat myself to new putter so I can put at home......my bag is now:

Driver

3 iron hybrid thing

5, 7,9 irons

Sw and putter

My clubs actually say 4,6,8,pw but with the much stronger lofts they play like the traditional 3,5,7,9,sw combo and that's what's in my head!

Everyone stay safe and stay home, and hopefully we'll be back on the course in the near future!

Courses in the UK opened up last week, but my partner put her back out on Thursday night so golf was a write off while I looked after her.

The adams is a 26. The set up isn't ideal but I've been playing golf club musical chairs the last 2 months and all the clubs that will eventually make the bag have the wrong shafts in.

Lofts are 57.7 49 45 41 33 26 20 11

Plan is to get to about 105 - 135 and have a short iron on.

I've lofted my driver and 5w up for extra forgiveness given the rusty swing

img-20200426-115540.jpgThis is my 2020 minimalist bag. I don't even have a full set of clubs anymore. Have a few other spares but like to carry 5. My 9 hole handicap is currently 10 with this set.

I'll post a pick when I get finished making some mods, like my LW and P being 8 iron length(due to back issues), etc. I do my own clubfitting and buy component stuff mostly.

"Shirtsleeve" swing technique:

1. Setup: Elbows bent forearms pressed together against shaft slightly forward of center with "Hogan" "active/flexed" leg tension left foot turned out slightly and the right leg slightly farther to the right - weight mostly on balls of feet butt of left hands sits on the top of the grip with very light grip.

2. Swing - W/o disturbing weight distribution of legs and feet lower hands while doing a forward press "swing trigger" then the left upper arm takes over on the backswing, it needs to go out in front of the body then back in front of the chest as the hands trace down initially then up to over the right shoulder "Torres". The goal is to not disturb the pressure of the feet during the initial takeaway.

 

Notes:

1. Only swing thought after swing trigger - extend left arm at shirt sleeve when reaching left hand over right shoulder "Shirtsleeve technique".

2. The upper left arm move "Shirtsleeve technique" can be practiced independently without a club, sitting down for instance

3. The correct feet tension can be felt by doing very short hops on the balls of the feet then holding the same feeling of pressure on the front of the feet and then taking three practice swings with the grip very loose in order to not disturb the same pressure on the feet and on the 3rd swing actively do the "Shirtsleeve" move. From there the swing should be done within a matter of seconds to not lose the feel of the legs resisting, this way this is not a learned technique as much as it is a setup technique.

I'm only about 5 rounds in with the odds. So far so good. Not being able to play due to the madness has been tough. I tried this experiment to "play golf" vs playing "golf swing" if you know what I mean. With Evens, I love my 4i. With odds teeing off with hybrid is different.
