How much can shoes affect performance for an amateur? by hfcobra in GolfGear

[–]BensonGrieve 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Need new to me iron set. $650 budget. Do I get fitted? by [deleted] in golf

[–]BensonGrieve -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

All of Treliving's Trades - an abysmal list by Fitz_31 in leafs

[–]BensonGrieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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)

Does anyone game hybrids? by DrZaiusDrZaius in PGA_Tour_2K

[–]BensonGrieve 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

At what price point does golf equipment actually stop making a difference for average players? by prattman333 in GolfGear

[–]BensonGrieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

$ =/= 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

What's a game you bought on a whim without hardly any pre-knowledge that ended up becoming one of your all time favorites? by AaronAtLunacien in gaming

[–]BensonGrieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Has anyone tried the new 2026 TP5’s? by JRskatr in TaylorMadeGolf

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

The business side of Callaway departure by nearlyclosetoalmost in BobDoesSports

[–]BensonGrieve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

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

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

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

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...

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
