DoctaFun posted:Older Camerons were solid, the new stuff is pretty *meh* for me though. The specific things I like about the 009 are the parallel shoulder/rounded bumper combination. Nike did just release a retail version of the Rory 006 Proto last month, but I think it looks like poo poo and there will be plenty on the used shelves in about 6 months:

Sataere posted:I've really started to hate my current putter. I don't know what has happened to what was once the strongest part of my game, but I'm finding myself spending half my strokes on the green. I've been trying out putters at Golfsmith, and the one that feels fantastic is the Ping Karsten Anser 2. While I could just drop the $150 at Golfsmith, I'd rather just go on EBay. My only concern is, is there something specifically I should be looking for when getting this club? Would the model year be a significant difference in the club? Because the Ping Karsten 1959 Anser 2 Putter Right 35" Black Dot looks really sleek. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I am pretty golf retarded.

On a related note, does anyone have an extra putter headcover that will fit the Ping Anser? I'll pay for shipping, of course.

DJExile posted:Toledo Country Club. Really nice place that they keep in great shape. Not much up and down, and 2 holes are up against a major roadway, but the last 3 holes run alongside the Maumee River and look spectacular. Should be perfect for taking out prospects and clients to have a good time, but not get beat up too hard by the course. Easily walkable if you want. I've played it quite a few times as a guest and finally decided to jump. Only about 10 minutes from my house and barely 15 from work.

I'm making some swing changes myself, namely speeding up my upper body on the downswing. I'm going to have a 2 way miss for a while, but it's better in the long run. I played 18 yesterday and on the last 2 holes, striped a 4 iron and 3 iron, respectively, inside 5 feet. Putting is still sketchy with the new/old Ping. I seriously don't understand how my stroke with a putter is like a 30 handicap but my stroke with a lob wedge is like a scratch player.

Booked a 12:50pm tee time tomorrow at a 75.1/143, 7016 yard course for $16 on Golf Now.  But fees tacked on another $4.61. And it'll be 95*F.

Ribsauce posted:If super game improvement irons help as much as changing drivers I am buying some very soon. Does anyone use "super game improvement" irons? I think the mats helped my irons last time because I had a lot of mishits today. Lesson learned, grass driving range only. Of course, it was like 100 degrees and I was in the dead sun, so that did not help. I would say standard game improvement irons are probably worth it.

Josh Lyman posted:Booked a 12:50pm tee time tomorrow at a 75.1/143, 7016 yard course for $16 on Golf Now. Putting still sucks, still striping my long irons. I seem to be hitting them longer too. Carried a 4 iron 215 yards on a par 3 today. I don't expect to play until next month, so I guess I just have to spend time at home working on my putter stroke.

As long as the length and lie are relatively similar and the shafts are close in flex across the sets, you'll be fine. Offset should be similar for those 2 sets.

Any of you play with a push cart? I don't walk much since almost all the courses around here are cart-only, but it seems like it'd be a smart investment for my long-term back health if I can find a good model on the cheap.

Summit posted:Interesting. I asked a few of my buddies and even some people around the putting green who were chipping and they were showing me their chipping, not short game. That said they are obviously not pro golfers and I'm not about to argue with Phil on this one. All of the pro stuff I've seen so far has been that fixed wrist technique so I'll stick to that for sure.

Furnaceface posted:3 rounds in a row at 104. Consistency! I really need to get better at par 3s though because holy poo poo shooting 8 on them as often as I do is not helpful. Im in the middle of trying a new putting grip too so hopefully that starts shaving off strokes once I get used to it.

But I'm not sure how accurate they are compared to like a Trackman, or if they even have the option to be used like that rather than playing an actual round on one of the sim courses.

I need you guys to talk me out of spending $50 on a golf bag I don't need. I have a 1st gen Ping Hoofer. It's a little long in the tooth, but I play once/max twice a month, so it's still perfectly functional. Importantly, it's the only thing I still have from my competitive golf days. Arguably the best bag of all time is the Hoofer 2, which slightly modified the pocket design compared to mine. I can get one from a local guy for $50, but it has the embroidered name of someone who played at Georgia Tech the same time as Matt Kuchar. It is, however, in fantastic shape.   I feel like, if I'm going to get a new golf bag, I should get an actual new golf bag, something with a modern design made with modern fabrics, though I think the weight of the 2015 Hoofer isn't really lighter than the old ones. Otherwise, sticking with my current bag has the dual benefit of not spending money and nostalgia. Josh Lyman fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Aug 16, 2015 |

For the longest time, I've hated the shaft in my 3 wood, a RIP Alpha 80X. It always felt dead to me. I was planning on reshafting it, but my friend hit it so well that he bought it. I was budgeting about $50 for the reshaft, and I was able to order a replacement for $50 than he paid me.  New(ish) 3 wood is Titleist 915F 15* w/Aldila Rogue Black 80X. I ordered it with a lighter sole weight to swap with my driver since I plan on extending my driver 1/2".
