Copied a pro's swing - BY FAR the biggest improvement in my game comes from this. To put it extremely simply... find a video of a pro's swing you like, take a video of your swing, compare & make changes until your swing looks closer to the pro's swing. Look at everything from head to toe including the grip... simply by having a swing that is mechanically similar to a pro's will make you better... in the short run you may get worse but in the long run it is SO worth it.\n2. Practicing alignment & preshot routine... and ALWAYS DO IT - Having a pre-shot routine to ensure perfect alignment for every shot type... and ALWAYS doing it will massively increase your consistency.

We had other friends that would golf with us and fill out our foursome but my brother and me would always ride together in the cart and cheer each other when we hit good shots and rib each other when we didn’t. So anyway after he died I found I couldn’t golf, it was just to much for me emotionally. So I decided to put the clubs away for a few years and do other things. When last spring rolled around, with the encouragement of my wife and my friends I dusted off the clubs and gave it a try. It was very tough at first to get back out on courses that we used to play together on and being back with my golfing buddies and not having my brother there and apart of it. Though I found the more rounds I played this summer slowly it go easier to go out and enjoy myself and not feel sad and guilty that my brother wasn’t there.

For the past 4 months, my fiancée and I have been backpacking all over Europe. We have picked up several house sits along the way, with our most recent week long sit being about a 1.5h drive from St Andrews. I have not golfed once during our travels, but I knew there would never be a better time to attempt to play a round at The Old Course. Which leads me to my St Andrews story. \n\nThis story begins on a Tuesday. Actually, a few days earlier, I had told two friends that I would be within driving distance to the golf Mecca, and was contemplating an attempt to get out on The Old Course. I didn’t really know if this was possible, or what it would require. They asserted that, as a golfer, I could not stay so close to the sacred place without an honest effort to play. This only confirmed what I had been feeling. If there was ever a time to make it happen, this would be it. They mentioned the [No Laying Up video](https://youtu.be/FxH3xxsZlMw?si=mI2ownFtU8Dg24Nb) on St Andrews, documenting the group's St Andrew's story, which I watched that evening.\n\nI encourage watching the video, but for those who haven't: for over 30 years, ~~nut jobs~~ golfers wou","date":"2024-10-03","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_211","source":"Reddit","sourceUrl":"https://reddit.com/r/golf/comments/1put5v1/iron_fitting/","author":"u/SampleThin2318","rating":null,"text":"FITTING UPDATE:\nWent with Cool Clubs to get fitted.

First of all, yes I know that staff bags are maybe frowned upon here but I love the colors of this bag and even found grips that match.\n\nMy current bag consists of Callaway Mavrik Irons (6i - 9i), PW (41), AW (46), GW (51) and 3 Wood.  Callaway JAWS 56 and 60 wedges, Callaway Rogue ST Max 7 Wood and 9.0 Driver.   And of course the Odyssey 7CH mallet putter.  All clubs are gripped with the green/yellow/black Golf Pride MCC +4 Midsize grips.  I made the switch to midsize last year and will never go back, the clubs don't feel loose in my hand anymore.  Though I will say my stock iron shot went from a draw to a fade, not a big deal, but took some getting used to.\n\nThe newest add to the bag just a couple of weeks ago was the Taylormade 3i DHY, I needed a club with lower trajectory than the Mavrik 5i I previously had in the bag.  I gained about 15-ish yards on the 5i, from around a 210 carry to around 230 with the 3i, but it has a much more piercing ball flight that stays lower and out of the wind.

If you feel like your arms don't have room, like you're lifting, if people have told you you're steep, you're over the top, you don't rotate well, you're flipping, you're hitting blocks, you're hitting hooks, you are likely missing adequate forearm rotation\n\nDr Greg Rose at TPI coined the phrase \"You can't close a door you don't open\".

I’m a golf enthusiast (been playing for about 4 years) and also a solo indie developer who’s a bit obsessed with tracking swing data and making golf more fun with tech.\n\nLately, I’ve been on a mission to try out all the top golf shot tracer apps—Smooth Swing, GolfCam, Shot Tracer—really digging in to see what works and what’s just hype. Here’s my honest rundown after using each:\n\n# 1. Smooth Swing\n\nPros:\n\n* Tracer lines look great and super smooth.\n* Real-time shot tracing (best with white balls), decent stabilization, some swing analysis features.\n* Simple UI with high ratings (iOS).\n* Has extra stuff like GPS rangefinder.\n\nCons:\n\n* iOS only, no app for Android.\n* “Auto tracing” still depends a ton on perfect conditions—bright light, clean background, etc. Otherwise, you’re back to drawing lines yourself.\n* Only works well with single, short clips; batch processing is tough.\n\n# 2. GolfCam\n\nPros:\n\n* Designed for batch editing and making golf vlogs.\n* Cool templates—scorecards, tracer lines, sound effects—definitely cuts down editing time.\n* Easy to export batches for social media.\n* Very beginner-friendly.\n\nCons:\n\n* Auto tracing still pretty basic; t","date":"2025-11-12","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_211","source":"Reddit","sourceUrl":"https://reddit.com/r/GolfSwing/comments/1q4x25n/grip_help/","author":"u/CouplaTins","rating":null,"text":"Very new to golf but been going to the driving range for about 5 months now, at least 1 or 2 times a week. \n\nI recently managed to get to a situ where I’m hitting 75% of my shots cleanly (maybe with a slight hook) using an “overlap” grip, with my little finger on the right overlapped with the forefinger on the left, which felt most natural. \n\nI’ve recently had my first lesson out of eight total with a local PGA tour pro, who said it’s best to start again with an “interlock” grip.

The L2 had clear background and clear numbers. I've never used a rangefinder before so I was playing with the eye piece, but mostly because I just bought one. The shot scope pro zr. I spent a week looking over all of them. Was going to get the NX9 and then decided to splurge on the Cobalt Q4. But then I came across one on Amazon that I hadn't seen before, the Pro ZR. There weren't any reviews yet but it had all of the features I'd want and that the cobalt lacked (changing red/black and a magnet). I know you said the Tour V6 is comparable to the cobalt q4 in optics so I tried to see if it was indeed more to see. It's kinda not fair since 6x vs 7x but I also didn't see much difference between 6x and 7x. If I had to guess, they all felt the same actually.  I was only looking across the store and into the bays but still. The L2 was by far the clearest. So now this makes me really excited for the Pro ZR.
