I have the one posted and HackMotion. The prosendr knockoff works. However, especially with the updates over the last year HackMotion tells you so much more about what’s going on. They continue to make it better. And it gives you drills with real time feedback. If you’re just a casual golfer who wants to stop cupping your wrist, sure the one posted will help you get the feel. HackMotion will also tell you if your casting, inside/outside takeaway and more. It’s for a more serious golfer. Both have their place depending on what your goal is.

90% of these guys will improve much faster learning to get their driver in play and be able to hit irons and full wedges on or near the green. Doesn’t matter if they can chip or putt if they’re chipping for bogey every hole

True but you can and should practice both. You don’t have to exclusively practice full irons and driver. I know that’s not what you are saying and I’m not trying to put those words in your mouth. But you need to practice all parts of your game whether you are brand new are a scratch golfer. Most people aren’t in shape enough to go bang out 150-200 full swings in a range sessions anyways, especially this time of year. And if you have an Inefficient swing your going too tire out even faster. Let’s say you can get close to the green in two. But if your skulling your pitch shots and Sending them to 10 yards off the green on the other side. Then 4 putting your still scoring high. Everything needs to be practiced. Every golfer benefits from being closer to the hole off the tee and every golfer benefits from improving their short game. You need both.

I know Ted personally. He is fine. As stated he is dealing with a family matter. He and his family could use prayers right now.

Play it often. It’s been in great shape all year. Played a couple of weeks ago and was in really good shape. Greens are in great shape.

I had Zx7’s and got fit for Elytes. I love not getting punished when I miss hit. The way I look at it is i play a club down. 7 iron carries 190 but has 6000 spin and a descent angle of around 49. I play it as a 6 iron. Added an extra vokey wedge to keep the distances on the lower end. The fitter I went too is a plus handicap and hits elytes. GI’s have come a long ways since I last played them. But play the iron you like the most and improves you game the most.

I always focus on the ball. For me I focus on keeping my head still in the back swing and shifting my weight forward just before I reach the top of my back swing. I’m assuming aiming for a spot in front of the ball is doing the same for you. I’d do it for fairway woods if it’s helping your irons. You want to slightly hit down on your fairway woods. Play with it. Maybe not focus as far in for of the ball for fairway woods. It’s all about whatever feel works for you and gets you in position.

So I’ve been thinking about renting out golf simulators. I have a BLP and everything. Just would need a projector and blow up enclosure. There is no one that does it in my area. I’ve looked across the country and it seems $200/hour is the going rate. I’d be happy with $300-400/day. Could even try and do benefit scrambles. Setup and do long drive competitions or closest to the hole. Idk a few bucks for so many swings. I would just test the waters first maybe even switch it to a Mevo plus if it gets rented enough for those with lefties. The inflatable enclosure is $1500 on amazon. So initial price would be fairly low. Even if it doesn’t workout I could use that enclosure at home when my friends come over and for our church events or school events. Not looking to make a living off of it just to increase the golf budget and have a little extra spending cash. Thoughts? Could even start with just a net and a tv and see how it goes and charge a little less just to test it out. That what I use at home outside.

Really? I haven’t had any issues.

Whatever you do - invest in some sort of swing launch monitor device - doesn’t need to be a trackman - technology has improved so much - the MEVO is excellent at $300 - that will get him off to the best start possible with a good coach…

I second this. I started with a Garmin R10. When used with rct balls it’s pretty accurate on distance. Left to right is a little iffy sometimes but it’s in the ballpark most of the time. Plus it give you the option to do more with simulator golf. It’s not a bad unit to start. I never really trusted the club data on it. Swing speed is accurate but not much else from my experience. I use raw hide mats. Bought a used one a couple of years ago. Getting to where it needs to be changed out. Probably just going to hit a hitting strip from an expensive mat and cut a slot for it. Only be about $100. Going to test it out shortly.

If you’re close to Lafayette Wartelle would be great for that.
