Samson's Flow Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'm strongly considering buying new irons this year. I've got a feeling I'll be getting out of work and going golfing quite a bit this summer. Don't you just love it when you've got money burning a hole in your pocket....smh I did that a lot last year since my new work location was a 2 minute drive to my local golf course. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter how new or expensive your clubs are, you are still limited by the guy swinging them. :bag: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm not horrible, but that was also when I played 3 days a week. I didn't get out at all last year and it killed me! 2 years ago, the only round I played was in Florida and I shot 84 after a winter off. My current irons are 21 years old. I'm ready for new ones!

I'm currently a 15 handicap and had similar thoughts last year. Prior to the winter of 2015 my clubs had been Tommy Armour Silver Scot 755's that were hand me downs from my dad that I played with from when I was just starting until then. Winter 2015 came around and I thought in order to finally commit to getting my handicap to single digits I need to upgrade my irons (flawed logic but w/e), so I picked up some lightly used AP2 712's after days of research. I can definitely tell they are better clubs and saw glimpses of improvement, but it also highlighted some flaws and inconsistencies in my swing. Long story short, there is no magic equipment fix and the only way to get better is to practice and improve your swing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubkev Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 What did you end up going with? Got any pics to share of the new gear? Ping G30's. Ping is currently making them custom for me. 1/4" off the shafts and 1.5* flat. I'll have them in about 7-10 days. I was really crushing the G irons, but I hit the G30 much, much straighter, and only about 8 or 10 yards less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think Cuse just punched their ticket in dramatic fashion. The bank was open for a huge buzzer-beating three to cap off a come-from-behind win over Duke. Amazing game leading up to that clutch shot too. They'll be dangerous in March just like last year I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll be dangerous in March just like last year I think. I was amazed that they kept hanging around in that Duke game last night - keep it close and be the last team to score. It's impressive that they have a winning record (3-2) this year against top 25 teams, but have still managed to lose 11 games, much of them against much weaker opponents. Cuse has the capability to beat anyone, but can also lay a stinker. Those type of teams are dangerous come tournament time - you only need to win 6 games to win it all :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good guard always facilitates tourney success. Kemba was hitting every shot he took that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 WTF MLB is thinking with this new intentional walk rule... Saving 10s off a game apparently. The commissioner is not happy the union won't let him implement other rules, such as a pitching timer and limiting mound visits, so he claims after next season he's just going to do it anyways Baseball is not a fast sport. It gets its fans from tradition, history, and the love of the game. Trying to make it something it's not will ruin it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubkev Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 What did you end up going with? Got any pics to share of the new gear? First time out with my new sticks. F'n crushing the ball! Still gotta play around a little with my distances, but man oh man, that was fun. New club fever had me wanting a new driver, but mine still works.

TrueBlueGED Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 Since it's not Thursday, this is going here: I'm at a bar watching the Rangers-Devils game, with the person next to me and the bartender jabbering about the Yankees and Mets non stop. I don't know which circle of hell this is, but it's one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
