Pitching wasn’t awful until the dam broke.

It’s gotta be hard on those guys at this point in the season to consistently give up 1-3 runs through 5 innings, and you look up at the scoreboard and your offense hasn’t produced anything.

Our offense is flat out awful with “get hot” games mixed in. The strikeouts tell the story. Just a really bad hitting team.
He’s projecting.

The reality is that an AU coach will retain his job by beating Georgia or Alabama even if they’re 7-5.
Hell we don’t have a single baserunner. Getting perfect gamed into the 5th
I actually wish there were more alternating shot format tournaments in the states, but too many absolute hackers play in fundraiser tourneys for that to be viable.
I don't mind it. I'm champing at the bit for football that time of year. It will be nice to go from gameday right into the bama game
There's hope.

Sometimes the lack of pressure of each shot on the range is a swing killer.

My range flaw is I try to kill every ball on the range. Tempo gets too fast, arms get too tight, swing falls apart.

If I get to the range and this starts happening, and I'm actually trying to work on something instead of just getting loose, I will start pitching the ball until I'm satisfied with good contact before moving back into full swings.

If you ask Ben Hogan, the putter stroke and the driver swing are the exact same, one just requires a longer backswing
Fluffy greenside lie to a short pin is the only time mine comes out anymore.

the lofts are different on the Srixon's the 6,9 and P have 1 degree more loft and the 7 and 8 have 2 so there will be a small loss in distance because of it, just be aware.


I did notice that, but also noticed that these are 1/4" longer off the shelf than the T300s throughout the bag.

Not too worried about bombing my irons though. I fee like I hit them far enough. The random nukes were killing me though

Sounds like you are a steep player


Believe it or not, complete opposite. I pick it. Rarely take a divot and when I do it's minimal. I'm probably presenting more static loft than dynamic loft because of this
I don't have elite game :lol:

I do play 99% of my golf on the coast though. So I'm typically battling wind as it is, and like I said..I don't mind hitting the ball high, I'm just hitting it too high right now with my current irons. My flight is an exaggerated version of this when I strike it well. I need to knock some spin off. With my mid and high irons, my ball is almost always within a foot of my pitch mark. Might sound great, but my front/back dispersion is still all over the place. I'm really just hunting more consistency in distance. I don't care if my 7 iron goes 160 or 180, I just want it to go in a 5 yard distance window so I know what to expect.

In a nutshell I've got a 6-PW set on the way that I got blind. Don't really have the time for a fitting right now and these were a good price, but I am pretty sure that my original set of Irons (2021 T300) just doesn't really fit my game anymore. Between the regular flex shaft and the wild front/back dispersion I just have minimal consistency or control over where a ball is going. My 8 iron ranges from 150 to 170 on well struck shots. I can get a really spinny, ballooning ball flight. Great for holding a green but not so great for trusting a number. That same contact might go 170 the next time I pull the club out. That seems to be a fairly common thread for the game improvement category. A really hot face and a really high launch. My 5 iron is a T200 and it's pretty much 190 on the nose every time give or take 5 yards. I might be the only golfer on earth that relishes pulling out his 5 iron over anything else in the bag because I just know what it's going to do

Did a good bit of research on the "players distance" category and settled on these. If I just can't hit them, the resale value looks to be good enough that I won't take a huge haircut. Wondering if anyone is gaming them and how you like them.

Another big miss is when the tempo feels right, I'm pulling it dead straight left about 25 degrees off target line.


When this starts happening to me, it’s almost always one of two things. I’ve either let my grip get too strong, or I’ve got the ball too far forward.

It sucks because when I do this, just a dead pull left, the ball is absolutely frickin hammered, so there’s almost no chance of finding it. A slice will go short and die. A dead pull goes for days
Apollo Robichaux just sounds like a scrappy little center fielder from Carencro

We've got starters batting .180-.250

If those guys aren't interested in hitting the baseball hard and getting out a slump then that's an unfixable issue.

Kids averaging 2 K's per game at the plate aren't above playing against anyone, much less a perennial tournament team
This is going to highlight just how incompetent home plate umpires are in college baseball. So many balls called strikes in this league that aren’t remotely close just because the dipshit behind the plate wants to make a demonstrative strike 3 call.

I suspect they’ll tighten it up to prevent exposing themselves as jackasses. Every one that umps behind the plate in this league considers it a strike if it’s framed well. That’s literally all it takes to get a strike call, see the catcher frame it well
I think the success or failure will all depend on the offensive line.

I expect the Quarterback to be good enough, the WR's to be good enough, and the defense to be good enough.

Bad line and we're playoff bubble. Good line and we're among the title favorites in mid october

What ball would yall recommend for high handicap with a faster swing speed?

I'm still a beginner, so I've been easily swayed by price and the "more distance" and "flies straighter" marketing on the packaging. The science of why different balls are better for different players is new to me


Sort of depends on your budget, preferences, and what you struggle with.

For the price, I would still point you towards a Maxfli Tour or Maxfli tour X if you buy the bulk pack. They come out to $30/dozen and it's an all around great ball tee to green. You're only saving $7 or 8 a dozen by going with a bottom of the barrel ionomer ball these days compared to that.

If you do struggle badly with a slice, there isn't a magic bullet ball that can correct an open face, but bridgestone does make some balls that spin a lot less. The Vice Pro Air and Mizuno Tour Pro S were also among the lowest spinning balls off the tee in the mygolfspy test for high swing speed
