Golf Lessons

My handicap is 12 and I feel more comfortable of hitting blade irons, should I continue to use cavity irons or change them to blade irons?

I've used blades for about 15 years. People always say blades are harder to hit, and if you miss the sweet spot you'll go astray. It's not exactly true. Blades these days are more forgiving than the Wilson blade 20-30 years ago. I used Mizuno MS 203 for sometimes, and those were the full blown blades that are not forgive. Try Tittleist 690 MB, Mizuno MP 33 or even the newest Titleist I 695 MB. These are forged blades. Go the site below and view the spec, they have little tubes at the neck that can absorb vibrations on the mishit as well.

I used to carry Titleist 981, which are not blades just in case my swing gone bad, but later I found that fixing a swing is the better way that compensatng with equipments. I've people using high-tech very expensive equipments with swing that is tormenting to look at just to prouduce a so so result. Fixing your swing to hit a good blade is much better way to hit a golf ball.

Besides, once you're comfortable with them, you'll enjoy an approach that once in a while a birdie tap in is possible. Once you can move the ball from left to right or right to left, and see them bounce a bit and check to a full stop, it's really good feeling. Play blades if you can, besides they look really good, too.

The only putters that are for sale are 33' putters. Would it change the putter(besides the length) if I got it cut down to 31'?

Would it change:
Feel
Stroke

Would it change the weight so much that it would seem like a whole new putter?

YES, it will change the feel, which may impact your stroke.

Shortening a putter (ESPECIALLY by 2 inches) would decrease the swing-weight of the putter, therefore making it feel lighter.

You would be taking approximately 20 grams off of the putter, so compensate you would either need to put 20 grams of lead tape on the putter, or put 20 grams worth of tungsten powder down the shaft.

I would recommend cutting off .5/1 inch at a time to see what you like best, and see how the weight works for you. But some people do like the lighter weight head and some like a heavier head.

When you cut it down, at first it will seem like you are missing everything, so give it a little time, don't jump to conclusions without a little time with it.

Good luck.

I know its sounds silly but iam planning on putting a small T2 turbo on my 2002 1.5L toyota ECHO. Ive seen some echos that are turbocharged and they are sick, they keep up with anything even my brothers BMW 740IL. I already have my eye on a turbo that costs $400 so its a preatty good price. The only thing the dude at the shop have said is that i dont really need all that intercooler stuff. He said that the turbo is small so i dont really need to get too fancy, just place it on reprogram the ECU at dyno and iam good to go. Iam not planning to make this echo into a 9sec car but iam planning to invest about $1000 bucks and make it fast enogh. Does anyone know what i should keep in mind, like what i need to place and replace before i put on the turbo?

okk if you plan on running under 8 pds then heres a list anymore and it gets more complicated
-turbo
-manifold
-wastgate
-boost controller
-downpipe
-intercooler
-intercooler piping
-safc
-boost gauge,a/f ratio gauge,pyrometer
-fuel pressure regultaer
-higer cc injectors
-vacuum manifold for all extra gauges

not sure if im missing anything

Drivers?
Wedges?
Iron sets?
Fairway woods/hybrids?

I have 5 putters
2 drivers
8 wedges
2 Iron sets
2 hybrids 2 fairway woods.

I have heard people talking about using the same putter for like 50 years, the same set for 20 years…I just wanted to see if this is common. I don’t think so. I know people who own like 15 drivers. Any funny stories?
Personally I think new clubs can help you play better. It may just be psychosomatic… but hay whatever works.
Peace!

0 i dont golf

I am a beginner to golf, ( i have only golfed 2 times in my life) and i am a teenage girl. I need to know what i should wear to go golfing and what type of clubs should i get. How much should i spend on a set of clubs? What brand should i get?

thanks

Ok well depends on how much u have played in the past and if u really enjoy it or not ? I would recomended a cheaper set from walmart or a pawn shop if u are not sure u are going to be playing alot but i u think you are going to play every weekend go to a pro shop and pay what u want because they range to whatever u want to pay !!!
