Bruh you can’t read the data properly.
I thought 240 was the shortest a par four could legally be. None the less great shot Greg.
That man Josh Courish is legit, sheesh great swing
For sure! He’s the real deal!
Nice par. I don’t get why these videos aren’t getting more views!
Thanks! 😊
Great way to recover for a par! 👍🏻
Thanks. Lucky to find it in the trees, but I love a good recovery 😜
That waggle works for trump!
🤣 it actually does!!
I started using iron head covers years ago because the irons were clattering whilst walking and getting small dents. I have a friend who is a club professional, he hates them and said you don’t see tour pros using them! That was true until Aaron Rai came on the scene.
Agreed. Plus, tour players get new irons for free constantly, and club professionals often sell golf clubs, so golfers like you and me have a different perspective, lol. Take care of what we have since it is so expensive to replace 😉
Is there a video of the green being built?
Sorry, there isn’t. I built it before I started the channel. I will be filming building a new bunker though very shortly. Here is the installation video I watched when building my green: ua-cam.com/video/dJBpRpVB7WY/v-deo.htmlsi=wsFOYmOQ4ZNRvDLe
I struggle with leaving a divot after the ball. I still hit my irons pretty good, but not always flush. I’ve been a flipper forever but I’m still a work in progress. One thing I do is keep my eyes on the target side of the ball. This helps me to hit the ball first most of the time. It works most of the time 😊
That’s good if you’ve found a feeling that works!. If you want to experiment, try using more of your lead arm to guide the club down through impact and let your trail side be along for the ride. Too much trail arm and shoulder sends the club down too early and can also push our lead arm back behind us too quickly (causing a flip if you release the wrists, or a slice if we hold the face open, but also the famous chicken wing which prevents good compression at impact). Let your lead arm race down through impact and then extend towards the target on your way to a full followthrough. Worth a try 😉
The video is instructive, but it would have been helpful if an actual golf swing was shown, so as to know if any arm strength is used or if it’s just body momentum which goes into the shot.
The arms will naturally move a bit. In the backswing, let the body pull the arms back, and the arms can lift upwards a little to the top position. In the downswing, let the arms drop down and let the body whip them through impact. Your lead arm can start to build on the body’s momentum as you backhand the ball through the impact zone.
Great videos. Love Cleveland, still gaming the original Halo 4 22 degree hybrid (can’t find anything to beat it). Picked up the new 2024 3+ Hywood, game changer!!! Better than 5 wood imo.
Thanks and I’m loving the clubs. I was curious about the HY-Wood, so it’s cool to hear that it plays well! 😊
Reason I used them..had a set up taylormade sldr that were 12 years old. In perfect condition, when I sold them I got top dollar because they were in top shape.
Absolutely! Resale value retained!!!
Going to let you in on a little secret, your set is never ever complete.,
Very true!!! I should have ended with a “to be continued” 🤣
Purchase link: tiny.cc/w1isyz
Doesnt he watch his video before he posts? His partial swing was the same as his full swing. What the heck?
Results are what matter. My half swing is more about tempo and force rather than swing length. I had a lot of wrist hinge back when I filmed this so it still looks long but my lead arm did not travel as far between the full and half swing.
Omg. You never showed HOW to measure for the right golf length. Unreal!!!
You can find references online and I include a reference in the description. But it can be very unique for each individual. As mentioned, visiting a clubfitter is the best option.
My brother swings his club as hard as he can…he just has no control. I agree with your premise. Half swings are key.
For sure! It also spends a lot less energy and makes the game feel easier ☺️
Moe Norman was my turning point
He sure kept it simple! I wish it came that natural 😊
Heck yeah, another new golf channel to follow! 🎉
Thanks!! 😊
I think the overswing might be that when you get that extra shoulder rotation it is bringing you out of posture and makes it difficult to complete on the follow through. I don't know if it is similar to my early extension problems but they both have similar misses because you don't finish the swing due to out of posture. So I don't know if you should try instead of limiting the shoulder turn try to just keep in athletic posture because it looked like you were standing up too much when you demonstrated the problem.
Definitely a factor, where I come out of my posture early and balance and weight shift are not timed correctly. It’ll be tough to kick the bad habits, but I’m on the right track. Understanding the mechanics is one thing, but developing a new feel for what I’m trying to do is the challenge. Hopefully I’ve found it!
Gotta admit the title is very good. Turning Point is such a good phrase to grab attention and it can be used as a pun because of the turn you have to make in golf.
Hey K! Yes! You got it! 😊 This process is working out well so far, but I have to swing within myself and around my injuries. I’m excited for where it is going!
Love the look of the matte black🏌🏽♀️🏌🏽♀️🏌🏽♀️🏌🏽♀️
Thanks, Lisa! Yes the matte is a sharp look!! 😊
Those wedges look amazing with the extra millwork!! Great choice in clubs, cant wait to see the review video!
Thanks! Can’t wait to get out golfing with you and show you on the course!!!
I'm going to have to get strokes from you this year
Nice looking set! Keep em straight!
Thanks, Jeff! First attempt on the course this evening so we’ll see. If they don’t fly straight, and they likely won’t, I surely can’t blame the clubs, lol!
keep it up, Mr. Shack! I love the thoughtful progression you're trying to make - don't quit, keep grinding.
Thanks. Progress feels great this week so I’m excited for the next update!!! Thanks for the support 😊
Good episode. Nice to see the eb and flow of changes and of life getting in the way. I think a lot of your issues could be fixed with a large raw T Bone steak.
Lol! Perhaps we should schedule a private “meating” 🤣
Greetings from Southern California USA where we play golf all year and encounter a myriad of conditions. I watched three of your videos before subscribing and they were all helpful so I must say you earned it. This is not the first time I have heard this particular tip (been golfing for 60 years) but the way you presented and explained it is what made an impression on me. Your video on wind was also excellent and answered all my questions except how the wind affects the ball on the putting green. Keep up the good work because we need people like you on YT who can help us average golfers enjoy this wonderful game to its fullest.
Thanks so much! Wish I could get a little of that Cali weather! A couple of our main courses haven’t even opened yet for the season. I’m glad the tips help and I appreciate the kind comment. I’ll try to keep the good tips coming! 😊
great progress! Give us a tour of the new studio
Thanks. I was thinking of doing a how I built my sim video, so that should include a little tour 😊
You have a great short game. That wedge is on fire!
Thanks! Hopefully I’ll hit more greens this season lol! 😊
Hi, I'm new to golf with 149 cm in height. I have bought a golf club set, but each club is too long and uncomfortable to use. Is it okay to use Junior Golf Clubs?
It’s tough to say what the best option would be and seeing a club fitter might be a good idea to find out what is best for you. If a Junior set feels comfortable, I would think it is fine to use them. You can also try a ladies set which is just a shorter shaft with more flex.
Followup video?
I think a followup will be coming, especially as I’m going through a swing change. I’m working on reducing my excessive wrist hinge and when I do it right there is much less movement of the club in my hands and a different impact position. I’m currently switching back and forth between the midsize and oversized grips (on different clubs sets). I’ll post a video when I’ve committed to a size ☺️
40 rounds? I would have to replace my grips 3 or 4 times per month that is beyond crazy. I always wear two gloves though and never take them off not even to putt. I play 300+ rounds per year in washington state between Feb - October. My bag is Ping S55 3 iron - PW with Titleist Vokey wedges 50, 54, 58 with minimum bounce angle. I do have a 60 and 64 but find as I am getting older, I don't get the distance needed for them to be useful as an open 58 provides plenty of loft on rare needed occasions. I do have a tendency to push fade my 3 and 4 irons unless I deloft the club and play the ball 1/4 ball width forward so I am thinking a slightly larger grip on those clubs might help, then again better swing mechanics is the better solution.
Wow! I’m envious of how much golf you play, that’s amazing! Changing grips every 40 rounds does sound excessive, but that’s what “they” say. But, I think every season is a good practice. Using two gloves might make a big difference and add to their longevity. It sounds like you know your game well. Have you ever given hybrids a try in place of the 3 and 4 iron? It’s not for everyone but might and something new and can be easier to hit and are fun to use around the green from rough. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 😊
Hey Greg's, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
Hi Ehtizan, and thanks for the nice comment. I appreciate you asking about helping with editing, but it is actually something I enjoy doing on my own casually. 😊
@@GregsGolfShack Alright. Do you need any help in thumbnail designing?
only idiots dont use them! there i siad it lol
Ha! Usually it’s us users who take the flack 🤪 I’m cool with folks who don’t use them.., I just don’t see any benefit. Only possible problems.
Personally I don’t use them. I wouldn’t be against using them, but my irons are an old Tour Edge set from my Junior year of high school in 2006 when I was on the golf team. They’re old and I don’t play nearly enough to worry about them anymore. However, I’m looking at getting fitted next year for a complete set of TaylorMade or Ping clubs and I’d probably use iron head covers just to keep them in great shape as I’m obviously not someone who’s replacing clubs every few years. Heck, my newest clubs are a Nike VrII pro driver, 3 & 5 woods and a 2021 Ping Anser 4 putter. Everything else like my irons and TaylorMade wedges are from 2006😂
Sounds like a good plan to protect new clubs when you get them. I bet you are excited and the new technology might help take your game to the next level!! 😊
Yeah, No. Unless you want the world to know that you are completely freaking anal, I would NEVER use iron head covers for ANY reason. I have Mizuno forged irons and they click around in my bag and do zero damage to anything. This is just OCD in overdrive.
I hear you and we should all do what is best for us. It is amusing how strongly folks feel about this issue one way or the other. Your Mizunos sound tough and likely part of being a really high quality club. You must enjoy them. I’d love to give a set a try sometime ☺️
The only iron head covers I'd use are transparent covers. To my surprise only one cover maker makes them. Craftsman Golf should release transparent iron covers. They look way better than the opaque ones imho.
Sounds like a cool style idea! Plus it can still show off a nice set of irons since there are some cool club designs out there! 🙂
Videos like this is why I am sad that youtube doesn‘t show the like to dislike ratio anymore
Lol. Currently 9-2 😜
I literally thought this was going to be a hilarious video. I thought he was going to say “fuck no” or something and we’d all laugh and clown the people who use iron head covers. Instead, this man gives us a rational and in depth explanation of why it is practical and economical to use iron head covers. Ironically, it also serves as a guide on how to lose friends and alienate yourself at the golf course and assure you never get laid again.
Ha ha! Love it! I don’t mind playing golf solo 🤪 Perhaps I should have expanded my research to examine how using iron headcovers might influence romantic liaisons. It is a very important consideration! 😉. Thanks for the nice comment and a good laugh 😆
@@GregsGolfShack hey man, you actually got me to watch a video about iron covers. Good work, Greg!
@Frog-g43x Thanks Frog! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and adding to the conversation ☺️. Cheers, man!
I'm not playing with you anymore if you use iron covers. LOL
Ha Ha!
So many people poke fun about head covers but just cutting bag chatter out alone is enough for me. Add in the prevented damage and I was sold.
For sure! I’m definitely in the “ Yes” camp! 😉
I feel there is something special about the sound irons make when walking. It’s like a happy place.
Would I have trouble stopping on the green with lower spin?
A half-swing might spin less than a full swing, but a good strike is still key. This is why small pitch shots can still check up. Ensuring your grooves are clean and you are using a quality urethane cover ball should still produce good backspin. Actually, we often see pros use these abbreviated swing to minimize spin so the ball won’t spin back off the green. I do play for a bit more roll out on the partial shots though.
I find face wind also exaggerates any side spin would you say that is true?
I think it adds more resistance than anything, but wind from any direction can likely exaggerate or reduce the spin generated by impact.
Flexibility is better in a fitness perspective for golf than pure strength from my point of view. When you have the muscle it creates more tension and tightness in the swing resulting in less work-ability of the ball. You can get force in the ball through other factors than mass which is the acceleration. A flexible body can better make the explosive motion for the acceleration.
I think it can depend on the person, body type, and physical abilities and limitations. I think improving flexibility is good, but I believe strength is a great asset as well, especially in preventing injury. But strength training and bulking are separate things lol. I don’t feel bulking and golf is the best combo.
Doug will fix ya up! Going book in with him this week
He’s the best!!!
What if you have a very strong right hand?
This is where that “range” comes in to play. However, these ranges can be customized for individual needs as well. The “full swing analysis” mode has an option to measure data for the trail wrist too, and can demonstrate what it is doing throughout the swing and where improvements, if any, can be made.
I'm 6'2" with long arms and the best irons I ever played were Titleist 962's right off the rack. I made the prettist dollar bill divot with these and had good distance control. IMO height doesn't mean a thing, all depends on player set up.
Agreed in general. It’s certainly individual and 6’2” is right around that standard club length so you wouldn’t notice the impact of club length as much as someone who is 6’6” or 5’2”. It is more about finding out works best for us and a player’s setup and posture are factors!
Getting fitted is something I’ve yet to do. I’ve always bought off the rack and just went with it. Currently gaming One Length irons which helped me tremendously! But I’m definitely going to get fitted very soon. I enjoyed the video 🤘🏽
Thanks Beven! It is fun to experiment, especially if we continually work on our swing. Cool that you’re enjoying one-length irons… I haven’t tried that but might have to at some point. I’ve got some videos about how to replace a a golf head on a shaft if you want to try and fix your 5 iron. They are in my “equipment” playlist. Golf is expensive so anywhere we can save some $ 😉
That’s Awesome! Have a lovely week!
Thank you. You have a great week as well 😊
Agree with you on the importance of club length.
Thanks Lauro. Hopefully the tip will help some folks 😊
