Right now I'm hovering around a 5, and I've practically done nothing about my swing.\n\n**1: PUTTING**\n\nWe all know they are important, but a big change came when I started taking putts seriously. They require at least the same consideration as any other shot. \n\nThe greens at my course are incredibly deceptive and often very difficult, so the first thing I had to consider was how to read them. I start when approaching the green and get a general idea of zones and how they are sloped. \n\nIf I have time while others are chipping or putting, I will do the following:\n\nStand over the putt and see how it feels. Generally this gives me the best idea as I can usually feel the break there. I will then look at the line from behind the ball. If I have time I'll look at it from both sides, and from behind the hole too. Usually I'll do this when walking","date":"2022-08-25","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_044","source":"Reddit","sourceUrl":"https://reddit.com/r/golf/comments/15zd2e5/vessel_player_iv_pro_pro_dxr_stand_bag_experiences/","author":"u/Jdudley13","rating":null,"text":"I am concerned that the Player IV Pro Stand bag will show wear from a cart strap when riding, I know there is a cart strap sleeve but I hate the idea of buying an extra accessory to keep up with.

You do not need to be a scratch, pro, single digit handicap to get fit for golf clubs. However, if you want the best fitting experience, you have to have consistent patterns, and you absolutely do need to be able to make good contact with the golf ball. You also need to know the bare basic mechanics. Hit down on irons, hit up on driver. If you can do those very basic things, which can be learned and practiced quickly after picking the game up, and very quickly with a lesson, you can get a good experience in a club fitting.\n\n2. Do not be locked in on getting a full bag of the same brand. Every company has their strengths and weaknesses. No brand is the best at everything.

The first is that push carts negatively impact turf conditions, especially around putting greens. Yet the pressure per square inch (PSI) from push cart wheels is roughly 1–2.4 PSI - massively lower than the force exerted by golfers themselves. In GB&I, you’ll regularly see golfers pushing carts directly across putting greens without issue.\n\nThe second argument is that carrying your own bag is integral to the game and its history. But historically, caddies were used by a significant portion of golfers up until the 1930s. And when players did carry, it was often a small bag—or just a few clubs under the arm.\n\nSeveral PGA/LPGA Tour players ([albeit a few years old but the sentiment still exists](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/pga-tour-pros-are-all-over-college-golfers-for-using-push-carts-at-the-ncaa-championship)) mocked college golfers for using push carts during the 2018 NCAA M","date":"2026-01-20","sentiment":"negative"},{"productId":"prod_044","source":"Reddit","sourceUrl":"https://reddit.com/r/golf/comments/17vx2ay/my_take_on_the_netflix_cup_as_their_target/","author":"u/chop_your_cock_off","rating":null,"text":"I figure I'm exactly who is the target demographic for the Netflix cup.

I ordered three new SM10 wedges to replace my two Cleveland CG 15’s and a Mizuno gap wedge, and I finally picked them up from the pro shop today. For anyone who missed my lengthy fitting recap, I ended up ordering a 50° with 12° of bounce and an F grind, a 56° (bent to 55°) with 10° of bounce and an S grind, and a 60° with 8° of bounce and an M grind. The shafts are all True Temper DG wedge flex, they’re all bent 1° upright, and I had them install Golf Pride CC +4 standard grips.

While men might be stronger than LPGA players, their swing and ball speed numbers are way closer to LPGA players than PGA tour pros (around 230 carry, 250 total yards). LPGA bags typically have at least 4 woods including the driver and only start at the 5 or 6 irons. They also tend to use 95g or lower weight irons shafts in regular or stiff flex while PGA tour players use 120 to 130g shafts typically in S or X flex.\n\n  \nYou could argue average male golfers are closer strength wise to PGA Tour players, and the lack of swing speed is due to efficiency and technique issues.

Most bogies come from distance control of the tee), played for 10 years since 6 year old. Hit my old driver 285-290 yards. \n\nI am writing this post all thanks to the new Qi35 I got. My driver is consistently hitting 310 yards, meaning on many holes I cannot risk using it. This problem made me think that I really need to have a club for each distances between 210 and 270 yards, especially hitting off the tee. Currently, the second longest club I feel comfortable hitting off the tee is my 5 iron, which goes 195-205 yards.\n\nI have a 3-wood, 4-hybrid, and 4-iron in my bag, all of which I rarely use.

But I personally think my issues start at the top of my swing and on the downswing. I feel I get way too in-to-out on the downswing.

Most assume that 20ish handicap is slower swing speed, but it's not always the case.\n\nIf you have a higher swing speed (7i is 90+) and/or your miss is left I'd avoid game improvement and most hollow body designs. Those will exaggerate your left miss and you will get occasional fliers due to the thin face designs at that swing speed.\n\nIf that's the case, I suggest a players cavity back iron. They are surprisingly very forgiving and the feeling and workability is outstanding.
