re: Poster callout szn: Hey 3PieceSpicy

Honestly I put all my trust in buddha and just kept hitting balls until he told me to stop. Not gonna pretend to know shite about equipment.


He actually initially put me into a VA composites Nemesys, but that was a 300 dollar upgrade vs the tensei that could be ordered with no upcharge. He told me that since the two shafts had a similar profile it was worth a shot to go with the tensei first for no extra money and see how it went. I guess he didn’t have on in his shop for me to try that day idk.

He said if I was dying to get into the nemesys he’d order it for me. I think I’m gonna stick with the Tensei

Nice 3wood and I get that…

Nice knock baw. My back is still cooked from last week lol. I don’t think I have that in the tank.

Btw I don’t think you need that $300 shaft if you can hit it 325 with the one you have lol.

I wasn’t even going to go today, but I gave it a try since you challenged me lol.

I hit about a dozen drives over 300, but none over 309. Think I mistimed the wind by about 15 minutes. With the wind, I hit a PW 160, 8i-180, 7-200, 6-220, 3w off deck 285. None of which are new tech and all have weak, old school lofts (mp-32’s). Wind was definitely giving me an extra 20 yards.

Picked up driver, wind almost completely died, and I still really was just lacking on my ball speeds by 4-8mph. I’d crush one and the tracer would say 160-162 ball speed. I was hitting 166-171mph just last week lol. Not sure if the tracers are inconsistent or I was just slower today.

I’ll leave the long drives to you baws until Spring next year. My body is feeling old and tired. I’m going to work on some 260-280 ish fairway finders for the rest of the year. I really don’t think I can hit one 325 right now unless I get the right range ball and a gust of wind or spend $300-500 to optimize my driver shaft.

Tag, you are it lol

I think I had 335-340 in me today, but the range ball quality was abysmal. Still managed to tag a few over 310. This shot had 172 Ball Speed, 12 Launch, 95 Ft Apex, Draw spin, 289 Carry,

I’ve figured out some things with my driver the past 2-3 sessions. Using the ground as leverage/trampoline though impact is the main thing. I think my driver swing was too armsy for most of the year and it was putting a lot of strain on my left rotator cuff.

I actually think your 51 yard rollout might have been legit. You might have landed on a rock or a sprinkler head, or a family of coyotes out there, lol.

I also do think TopTracer just guesstimates. I find it to be accurate 98% of the time based on shots I can see land and roll out. But 1 day, I caught one low off the face, and nailed the cart guy. And I think Top tracer still gave me credit for about 80 yards of roll out lol.

But yeah, you definitely have 330 plus in you. I just had to humble brag a bit. My body/ shoulder felt destroyed 6 weeks ago. I randomly felt like I was 25 again today and was able to catch a few good ones lol. But I do think the lower body is key to generating that extra power without putting too much strain on your arms/shoulders.

I will also say. I purchased a driving 2 iron a few weeks ago and my overall ball striking has improved a lot, since practicing with it.

Leave it to me to suck all year and then randomly peak in December

Does bouncing of a sprinkler head count?? Cuz I got all your bastards beat if so

That wasn't today, that was earlier this year... Wasn't sure on the long drive timeline stipulations.. Had one bounce off a sprinkler head and net me around 400 from the tee on a par 5.. ended up with birdie because I'm retarded and missed the putt for eagle

Today was a rough day.. I rarely and I mean rarely double a hole at my home course.. today was an especially egregious mental lapse of a day...

I hit 338 earlier this month. I was hype because that’d but me at like 2nd all time as of the start of this thread. Then I checked the leaderboard and saw that I was 16th
