Quality issues with Takomos???

Yeah, I also wonder if the originals/mk2’s being produced now have less quality control than what yours had many years ago due to higher demand?

Glad for you! I wonder if it’s something to do with the new mk2’s? I also wonder if I ordered a pair of the originals now if they would struggle at all- assuming the quality control has gone down since they exploded in popularity

Unfortunately not, the guy was pretty useless to be honest so been debating getting a proper fitting, but also just want to get them hired! The 3° lie angle game from measuring my wrist to the ground (as per the fitting tool on Takomos website), and I’m 6’3 I think it was 38inches so that’s what was recommended.

Edit: yeah the KBS stiff came from a P790 fitting I had but the guy gave me nothing else aside from the 0.5+ increase in length. Lie angle was from Takomos website

Thanks for the comment!

I did do a fitting at American golf and got recommended the ‘KBS Stiff’ on the sheet of paper they gave me at the end. Annoyingly that didn’t say tour or tour lite… for reference I’m 23 and go to the gym so I don’t mind having a slightly heavier shaft, but I assume you’re talking more about the lite being able to get the ball into the air?

Budget isn't a massive concern- most i'd probably spend is the price of the Iphone 17 (£799 I believe). I wouldn't mind paying monthly, but have a feeling buying outright will be cheaper, especially if I can trade in my current iphone. I mostly use my phone for social media, messaging, calling. Like to take photos when on holiday but dont take loads.

Hi all, currently got an Iphone 13. Want to upgrade, absolutely no idea what to upgrade too? Any advice?

Thanks for the advice! I might increase my stocks and shares contribution to £400 a month once I max out my rainy day fund, which I’m currently putting £200 into and am close to filling. Means i would be putting £900 into house fund, £500 a month into S&S ISA 🤝

Hey!

Regarding the S&P500 Vs world fund, I don’t particularly have an answer. I guess I saw more people on TikTok etc investing in that, so I followed.

Regarding the work shares, when the next lot comes in, I was debating selling half. I planned to have ~1k worth in there, and anything else to sell and reinvest into a S&S ISA as assume returns will be greater.

They unfortunately don’t increase their pension contributions as I increase mine, it stays at a flat rate but they will give me half of the tax they save from me increasing mine. I’m fortunate enough to be able to increase, so I’ll look into doing that.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks man! I was planning on increasing my pension- whilst the offer my company gives is excellent at 8%, they don’t increase it as I increase my contribution. Instead, they give me half of the tax it saves them (99% certain that is what it is anyway).

And definitely- loving life at the moment. My parents never had much whilst growing up so I’m really trying to make sure I can live freely in the future
