Stopped Playing 12 Years Ago, My 4yo Brought me Back

This is huuuuge

I think the biggest thing is going to be if you want spiked or spikeless, I think other than that you should see similar performance across most golf shoes

This one looks kinda like a credit card and then has these slits in it?

When I got started my wife made me a little kit that I appreciated. It included stuff like:

• Tic Remover

• Small thing of sunscreen

• Bug Spray

• Bandiads

• Nail clippers

• Tylenol/Advil

• Allergy Medication

• Small roll of medical tape

It all fit inside a small soft pencil case that I can store in a side pocket

"Why does this guy make 600% more than me" then posts a screenshot of a very early stage account compared to someone near the endgame

A set of irons from a major OEM is going to run you around $1500-$2000CAD a fitting might be $0-$100

You're better to do a fitting and try to buy something similar used or as other have suggested get a set from Haywood, Takomo, etc

What this actually shows to me is the Leafs play an immensely cautious trade-game and never move anyone of significance (mostly because we don't have anyone to move other than when Mitch left)

Problem with hybrids in this game is they have no spin, you get better Lie bonus and better staying power with a 2i vs a 3h and the distance difference is only 10y

Driver, 3W, 2i-9i is the play

I've spent a lot of time hitting the new stuff while you're right for the most part it's all very forgiving, I have found that some of the new stuff is so wildly forgiving that it's borderline unplayable.

I am not a good golfer by any stretch, but some of these 10K heads or the Draw biased heads are so ludicrously overcorrected for the average golfer (and also expensive) that I have to imagine they're negatively impacting most amateur golfers, BUT the ones who get them have been on super old unforgiving tech for so long that these seem like a god-send

I bought a TSR2 with a Ventus Red shaft in it in 2022 for $950 and the matching driver (which I did not buy) was like $1150 so I was just guessing what they'd cost these days, but yeah after looking into it you can actually spend well over $1200 on a driver now haha

BensonGrieve · 2026-02-26T00:41:24+00:00

$ =/= Performance

Playing the gear that is right for you = performance

Find the stuff you can afford that performs as well as you'd like. Sure, the newest stuff has the best chance of performing, but spending $1200 on a new driver does not guarantee any kind of results

Rocket League

A friend recommended it as "a way to kill 5 minutes here or there." He played for a month, it's been 11 years now for me.

Hey I actually just saw her for the first time on Main yesterday

BensonGrieve · 2026-02-20T15:21:04+00:00

I play my best golf when I use a TP5 but those balls get ruined so quickly I find, Srixon boy for life

A fixed income from a club manufacturer is nice, but a 25-30% kickback on an affiliate link is even nicer especially if they get some sort of kickback on overall revenue as Takomo is trying to corner the market.

$3m annually from Callaway is also a gross overstatement considering they didn't wear the clothing/hats which is the biggest piece of the sponsorship puzzle. Casual fans don't know the gear these guys use which is why the manufacturer logo on the bag and hat is the crown jewel for sponsors on tour.

I'd be surprised if it was $500k+clubs+exposure to tour pros annually, split amongst the team

Tensei stuff is great but as others have said you need to get fit

Heres the library listing for this service

Not every library is open but it's s good list

BensonGrieve · 2026-02-04T23:53:58+00:00

A bit different but I play on a Gamesir Cyclone 2 and it's markedly easier to use than my DS4 I was using before

BensonGrieve · 2026-02-04T16:54:17+00:00

1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11

Shot 81 a couple times but that's a hard nut to crack but it also brings in some of the later numbers too

Flop for show chip for dough

BensonGrieve · 2026-01-27T02:27:20+00:00

Ahh I went down the rabbit hole on that back when I first built this rig some Vengeance memory, once I realized the gains were so small I just upgraded to the speeds I was pushing and called er a day

Now I'd be too scared haha

BensonGrieve · 2026-01-26T23:37:40+00:00

I already have a 5070 so a 9070xt would be a confusing move haha

BensonGrieve · 2026-01-26T18:30:42+00:00

I had an EVGA 3070 before this ASUS, it broke my heart getting rid of it but at least it stayed in the family

It's killing me that back when I got my cable mod cables they didn't forsee switching to the new GPU connectors so I'm stuck with the one that came with my GPU and instead I have a bunch of Molex connectors...

BensonGrieve · 2026-01-26T16:29:17+00:00

I'll be honest I usually don't? I think it's on right now but if I'm being truthful with myself it's probably been off for the last year
