Let's Talk Squash - SUSPENDED

VolleyDrop · Posted: Tue Dec 04, 2007 3:58 pm Post subject: Any Golfers Out There?

Not that I'm thinking much of golf with 40cm of snow dumped here in the last 24hrs, but it is my "off season" sport.

Any other squash/golf players out there?

We've had about 30cm here in Grande Prairie in the last 2 days, where are you?
What kind of clubs do swing?

Viper appears to be a golfer too, what do you hack with?

Yes I love golf too. A lot of squash players like golf i am thinking?? Anyone know why?. In australia we don't suffer from snow but from lack of rain. The greens where I play are kept ok but surrounding it are dead dry trees and yellow grass.

One of the many reasons squash players like golf is that the swings are similar.

I hit with a 9 degree Zevo driver and 3 wood they are custom built, I'm 6'4" so I can't buy off the rack.

Irons are McGregor VIP Tourney, reshafted with an extra inch and a half and a low kick point(I hit the ball way too high). I had the hozzles bent an extra 2 degree's upright to adjust for my height.

I have 5 or 6 putters but at the end of last season I was using my Scotty Cameron X red. I like the Callaway Big Bertha ball and the Titleist Pro V1 but they are pricey.

Oops! you're right about the high kick point, I always mix them up. Any way I can't recall the exact type of shaft I'm using but it is a True Temper steel shaft with a moderate flex. I have decreased my swing speed a lot so this works well.
I used to have graphite in my Zevo irons but I broke a few where they are glued into the hozzle and I could not get used to the weight distribution.
My Zevo clubs were fitted by my uncle in Saskatoon www.kingcustomgolf.ca

I also use the Srixon soft feel ball as it very closely resembles the Pro V1 but at about half the price is one of the best buys out there.
I've bought experienced Pro V1's off Ebay for cheap too.

Golf season seems a long way away. Sad

Boys, boys, boys, boys and their tools Surprised

It is not about the clubs, the drivers, the balls it is and has and always will be about the quality of the swing.
I still hit with steel shafted blades !

Technology seems to be a huge equalizer in golf these days. A good swing is key, but the right clubs as VolleyDrop mentioned is very important.

I have a $300 beginner set that I absolutely refuse to exchange. They're good clubs, just not the top-end... it's me, not the clubs that will give me a better round. Technique, technique, technique! And I have tried other clubs, mostly its just the drivers that I've noticed a difference. My last score was an 84! I'm happy with that as I'm improving and I feel its me and not just the clubs!

Technique and the right equipment goes hand in hand.

If you equipment which really doesn't fit you, you're going to never get your swing right because you're setting up wrong.

But yes, technique is very important to being a good golfer.
