MD/VA/DC Golfers - Ten Seconds or Less

Speaking of buying...anyone interested in a slightly used (around 5 or 6 rounds?) Vokey SM6 52/12 wedge in the black finish?

 

I mean, it is a blade...

 

I dont know what this means...but i like it

 

It means there is no cavity or "hole" at the rear portion of the club directly behind the club face. In general knowledge, blades are more difficult to hit because they are less forgiving (dam you perimeter weighting). It is just a "blade" of metal - the term was popularized by the late, great, president Theodore Roosevelt while playing St. Andrews. I believe the exact statement was "by George, these thin metal clubs with no cavity directly resemble the blade I used during the battle of mount shankleton." The term stuck and has been used ever since.

I had to laugh at these memes as I am just now on a hour break. I know I'm chasing unicorns with new sticks. Hence the idea of the C200's for more forgiveness. But upon thought overnight, seeing my bank account and planning my vacation to Atlanta, I'm staying with the AP2's and will stay on the lessons mobile for a bit longer.

 

By the way, MTN, that model? So gimmicky.

Come at me bro.

 

I've requested exemption for this tournament like 3 times.

 

Ok. You're in with the 9-11 group.

 

I double checked for missed PMs, didn't see one from you.

I just looked up what C200s are. You will never get laid with these.

Good plan, Golfer. But, hey, if they say it takes blades to get in to the champagne room, then blades it is!

 

I think it was... Chris Rock who said 'no sex in the Champagne room'.

If you can see the "injections" in the clubhead, is it really a blade? It's like asking Brace, from Gigolos, when his last testosterone shot was.

I don't think PQ is in for Bluemash.

 

We played yesterday at Hobbits. Uneventful until walking down 14, the weather starts looking baaad. Could not be further from the clubhouse.

 

Ranger drives up to us on 15 and he's like "this stuff is moving in in 10 minutes".

 

We keep going, but fast.

 

We bust through 16,get to 17 and we're getting sprinkles and the downdraft from the storm coming right at us. We hit tee shots and RUN to the balls. Literally run. I'm like a healthy mom with her revolution BoB. PQ hits driver over the sand and wedge to like 6 feet. Noice.

 

It's starting to get dark and windy on 18 and there's lightning on the horizon. I hit a drive about 200 into the wind and I'm walking by the time pq's ball comes down. Smoke a 5 iron to 100, smoke a 9 iron on, and make par as PQ is hustling in.

 

We got into the bar and 5 minutes later, it's a wall of water outside.

 

Highlight of the day was Bye Felicia remembering that day that PQ ordered the chocolate milk.

 

JJ - you are on her sh1t list. Make no mistake.

 

Most humid day of the year that I can remember. Ball is traveling. Some good smashes for everyone. I finally birdied 13.

To confirm, the start time for everyone is 3pm at Blue Mash.

 

If PQ is out for that, then DT will just fill that spot. City, I thought you said he was in when I saw you last but I could have misheard.

Quiet in here today...

 

Perfect time to give a shout out and a thumbs up to Tex the Callaway Rep.

 

Went up to LP last weekend to basically hang out with Tex and hit some clubs and try to score a free lesson and accomplished all of the above. Tex cycled through some options and found both a Driver and a 3-wood that were longer and more forgiving than my current clubs. The new Great Big Bertha line is niiice. I love the throwback to the Warbird sole on the 3-wood.

 

After I had hit a ton of balls, one of the instructors from LP showed up (Parker Parsons) and in about 45 minutes had given me a fix with the driver that was easily giving me 35-40 extra yards (mainly because I wasn't hitting everything off the heel and wasting a lot of energy getting the club back to the ball on the downswing). I went from only being able to carry my driver to the 200ish mark (been frustrating for a while now) to getting 230-240 carry. For once the lesson tips stuck and I was able to replicate the results this week at the range. Teeing off is getting to be fun again since I feel like I can hit a respectable drive. As it becomes more ingrained I am hopeful I can put some more power behind the ball and keep bumping those distances up. Free lesson FTW!

 

Overall a great day, Tex was super helpful (and continues to be as I ask a million questions), and the equipment was pretty solid. Go see him and hang out for a while if he has a demo near you. I am not taking a full Callaway plunge, but I may be sipping the Kool-Aid on the woods. I have really fond memories of Callaway Titanium from back in the 90's.

After staring at my own videos over the last few years, I think I figured out a major factor in my recent case of the lefts.Eyes were looking wayyyy out over top of the ball. Could certainly screw up the swing path. I'm going to try to work on my posture a little bit and get more bent over. I think that in trying to center my weight heel to toe, I ended up standing too tall and getting my path out of whack.

 

Screenshot out of V2 for reference. Swing on left was from my most consistent time, after taking lessons all summer two yrs ago.

 

 

 

 

Also got the call from the head pro... "Christmas has come early." Time to pick up some new toys today!

Hard to tell from the screenshots. The two look very similar.

 

I'm not an instructor, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. You look way too close to the ball in the swing on the right. You're close in the swing on the left, but there you can see the arms hanging out a tiny bit. On the right, your hands hang inside of a line down from your shoulder.

Yep, Monte said the same thing. A small combination of both those things should work things out and get me to a decent place.

FWIW, I don't think your posture looks excessively upright, either.

 

No more upright than this guy, that hits it pretty well. Look how much more space he's got for the arms at setup though.

I thought we were only allowed to post Ben Hogan swing videos around here.

Your stance looks closed to the alignment rod in the shot on the right too - but could just be the camera angle.

 

Came home to meet the HVAC guy today, guy actually showed up 10 minutes early. That has to be a first.

This is one of my favorite pics from the US Open this year, the top of the swing comparison between these three.

Agreed. Would have been fun to have Kuchar too.

That looks awesome, you could add a a ton more and none would look the same.

 

What I DO hate is that every time someone with a unique move is successful, TV asshats start teaching it like it's a magic move. Gullbile people eat it up and get even worse. The night after the U.S. Open Michael Breed was telling his audience to all bow their left wrists for power. I wanted to gouge my eyeballs out.
