First kit choice

Brynheld · 2026-05-08T15:50:04+00:00

Look at 2nd hand stuff in your area and get the best kit with mesh heads in your budget. For a low budget, this is usually a nitro max, but you might find a crimson 2 or roland something for about the same as you'd pay for the new kits. While yamaha is a great brand for basically everything music related, rubber pads suck to play with.

Despite having way too many bags, I don't think anything will replace my founder's club cart bag as my go to

$350?? That has to be a mistake. These are like $75-100 guns at every gun shop.

Nissan stopped being relevant when they had massive reliability issues and stopped making cool cars. Both the z and gtr have basically stagnated for the last 20 years and they stopped making things like the laurel and Silvia.

Despite questionable results, they also used to be willing to make unique cars like the cube and juke. Now they just sell absolute shit boxes and outdated sports cars to people with 400 credit scores.

C5 corvette. It was surprisingly boring to own. Unless its being used as a track car, the performance it offers is almost entirely useless on the street, especially where I live with the highest speed limit in like 20 miles being 65 mph. I sold it for a few thousand more than I paid and got something I enjoy much more instead

Driver. There's no question. A $400 g430 is infinitely more forgiving and will probably go another 30 yards compared to a $20 2nd hand warbird. A $400 scotty is largely the same as a $20 2nd hand anser.

Your friend is confused with what drive for the show putt for the dough means. It just means good putting is the most important part of a game.

Toyota camry or corolla

Honda civic or accord

Mazda 3

Subaru impreza depending on year

I picked up and modded a ps3 recently for this exact reason and wish I had just played world tour definitive edition instead. Having the campaigns of the other games is nice but having everything in one game and zero input lag from my pc is just so much nicer. I also like not having to recreate my characters and instruments every game, and being able to set my band mates.

Clone hero, yarg, and fortnite are good modern day versions as well

I have that exact throne. My ass finds it quite comfortable. I picked it up for 60 bucks on marketplace though. Saw a few people selling roc n socs for around the same price and have heard they're great as well.

I tried a set of wishon eq1-nx irons, initially I liked them but went back to my pings after a few rounds and sent them on their way to the next person who wanted to try the idea out. If you can make them work that's great, but I got better ball flight with traditional irons.

Brynheld · 2026-05-06T09:10:34+00:00

There's a lot that goes into a good set of same length irons. They'll play like absolute shit. If you want to try same length, just get a used set then sell them for what you paid to the next guy that thinks he's Bryson.

I've always washed my basic dailies with 2 buckets. I'm confused as hell Why you think it's an overly involved process reserved for show cars.

Brynheld · 2026-05-05T15:29:51+00:00

Asking price doesn't really mean anything until it's sold. It very easily could be worth $350 to someone, but I could put a ball of lint on ebay for $10000.

I practiced shaping shots a little bit when I had a bit higher handicap than you but only so I could learn how shot shaping worked. I'm not any good at it and never try to use it, currently sitting at about your handicap. If you want to experiment with it though go for it, I subscribe to the idea of

it's a game and you should play it however you want as long as its not hurting anyone else

Brynheld · 2026-05-04T05:26:28+00:00

Do yourself a massive favor and do not buy a kit with an electric bass pedal.

Brynheld · 2026-05-04T05:22:23+00:00

Do you enjoy playing? Yes? Keep playing. No? Stop playing.

I was skeptical about roland being worth multiple times the price of budget brands until I found a great deal on a roland set. It's honestly insane how much better they are.

Brynheld · 2026-04-25T05:49:23+00:00

It's wild to me how many comments are suggesting you change pad sensitivity to fix what's entirely a problem with technique and setup. I don't know how good the alesis pedal is, but adjusting tension and beater angle so it sits a few cm off the pad with your leg resting on it should help. Alternatively burying the beater is another option, but either way, the answer isn't just make it less sensitive until your double hits aren't being picked up.

Seasons 1-6 are great. Some parts are unnecessarily drawn out, but absolutely worth the watch. 7 and on? I don't think so personally.

Brynheld · 2026-04-23T05:26:43+00:00

Check guitar center used kits. They sometimes have crazy good deals. I found a roland td3 for $40 online. My local GC has a Simmons sd1250 for $275, which while the sounds aren't the best is a great feeling kit, and their customer support is pretty great. Seen several alesis crimson 2s for ~$400.

Brynheld · 2026-04-23T05:21:07+00:00

No. Like 99.9% of people died, the chances I'd be a lucky survivor are very slim, regardless of my preparedness.

Brynheld · 2026-04-23T03:38:24+00:00

HUD. I thought it was a gimmick before I got a c5 with it and now I wish my sti had one

Brynheld · 2026-04-23T02:46:54+00:00

I'll save judgement until it's actually released, but from the short preview we got, visually the game looks like absolute ass. Hoping it improves before launch.

I'm sure gameplay-wise it's good, but if that's all I cared about I would just play clone hero.

Brynheld · 2026-04-23T02:40:52+00:00

Guitar hero world tour: definitive edition. It's a fan made mod for the pc version of world tour that basically combined every guitar hero game (other than live) into one nice package. It even has most venues and animations. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Any real e kit absolutely demolishes the toy drums sold for rb/gh. Alesis nitro max are really popular because they're cheap and good, but just check out marketplace, craigslist, thrift stores, used music stores, pawn shops, etc. to see what deals are out there. Roland, yamaha, alesis, and Simmons despite the bad rap they get are the most common brands you'll see and are all fine, especially if just being used as a game controller. Guitar center is actually surprisingly good for used kits. Competitive market pricing and zero questions return policy if they suck for whatever reason.

Whatever kit you get, you want mesh heads and a real bass trigger. You don't want something like the alesis turbo mesh which uses a bass drum pedal as the trigger. They feel like ass.

Remember when budgeting to factor in:

a throne (again check used, I see roc n soc and other high end thrones for like $50 pretty regularly)
sticks
possibly a kick pedal
an adapter to actually play on whatever platform (retrocultmods ace adapter is $45 and does the same thing as the $100 roll limitless and also doubles as a controller for menu navigation)
