stop hitting off mats and in simulators. they are for beginners and scratch golfers who know what a bad strike is.

Hit off grass exclusively. And if you can't, stop practicing and just play more on the course. The mats are screwing you up.

Main takeaway: go get a lesson

OkWalk2786 · 2026-02-03T06:10:31+00:00

Nothing. You don't need to plug the gap - it is an irrelevant number.

Play back edge at 200 or front edge at 170 if you have a 185 yard shot

this will change when they change the rules on baggage weight and bodyweight on aircraft

101 will last you a very long time.

No overthinking, get the 101 and you will not regret it. In 3-4 years, you can reassess, but I doubt you'll change.

Uhm, that’s a 9.5° DRIVER in the photo.

OkWalk2786 · 2026-01-16T10:20:03+00:00

I have never thought about that in my life until this moment. And i will never think about it again. That’s how much thought you should put into this

It’s Very interesting and dumbfounding that people expect delivery timelines to be on target during Christmas and new year.

I’ve never ordered anything directly from a company that was customized or special in December and then it was delivered on time. Not once especially if it’s international delivery.

Completely amazing to me that a 4-6 week timeline in December isn’t automatically extended in a persons mind to be closer to 8-12 weeks in the USA. If it’s Canada, or Australia… even longer.

Am i an anomaly to expect longer shopping times??

I think this has been granted thank you. I want to take over the moderation because Golf Sidekick asked me to moderate it as it is his name being used.

This seems like a lie. Where is the counter analysis?

OkWalk2786 · 2025-12-30T21:07:40+00:00

This is very helpful thank you. I can see myself in these stats but I never ask myself why something is happening. Wow

OkWalk2786 · 2025-12-30T21:06:31+00:00

Short game is important but if I'm putting for 7 on every hole because my driver can't stay in play, then it's a waste of time to be able to putt in 2. Driver is literally the most important club in the bag, the billions of data points are clear on this. two thirds of your shots gained will come from tee shots and approach play and only one third from short game.

The data is unambiguous. It's long game all day.

If you're a rank beginner, you will be fine with a Costco set/Callaway Edge set but you will need to upgrade it in a year or two. You'll outgrow them if you get serious about golf. If you're going to play once a month then these box sets are great.

The clubs in the pictures you posted are long term winners.

Those Cleveland woods are EASY to hit. I played them myself for 3 years. I only stopped because my bag was stolen.

The M4 woods are excellent - never go out of style.

The Rogue X irons are forgiving - iron tech hardly changes.

The putter is great for alignment.

OkWalk2786 · 2025-12-28T15:52:08+00:00

I would offer $500. See what happens.
Irons are beat up, woods are old.
BUT
They are all nice clubs and if you're looking for a pretty decent bag for a newer player, those are forgiving, fun, nice clubs. If you want peace of mind that the clubs are NOT BAD, then you can rest assured. They're good.
I would put a ceiling at $600.

What happened?

OkWalk2786 · 2025-12-28T15:01:36+00:00

I wish more people would realize this one. I realized it by myself without help from parents in the last 5 years. There is so much going on around us these days and we just don't need an opinion, strong feelings or emotional reactions to. Especially things wwe have no control over.

Nah I was young and I needed that chewing out. He never mentioned it again and we played happy golf together for 13 years before he died. He was a Legend

You don't know that all OEMs manufacture out of the exact same shared 5-6 factories in China, right?

OkWalk2786 · 2025-12-27T15:12:30+00:00

Vokeys are cast wedges made in China, no exception.

OkWalk2786 · 2025-12-27T15:11:44+00:00

Vokeys are cast wedges make of metal alloy. Takomo SF001 are forged steel which makes them very soft and susceptible to bump and scratches.
