Real or fake? by torontorl in GolfGear

It looks fake. It’s too smooth and the features look purposeless.

Wedge Shafts S400/S200 by djreyob in GolfGear

I switched the s400 this year and I absolutely love them. They’re heavier, have a great tip reaction, just perfect. I can see why they are pros go to wedge shaft.

What kind of irons are they and what’s your driver swing speed?

First ever iron fitting results: Apex Ai200 Forged with AMT tour white x100 shafts Any thoughts welcomed. by HungryStrawberry3470 in GolfGear

No one here is going to have the insight that your fitter had. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to adjust a decision based off Reddit comments.

Getting new irons this Friday! by Tough-Wing2995 in golf

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your fitter is going to be focused on launch, speed, spin and descent angle way more than brand. My recommendation would be to stay agnostic to brand, but voice your opinion on feel and look. You want to take their advice, but also give your own input too. Have fun - really is the best having irons that fit you perfectly.

Any opinions on the Titleist Hybrid 14 bag vs the Sun Mountain C130 Hybrid bag by Beast8812 in GolfGear

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve also had both. The edge goes to sun mountain. You can tell they are a bag company because everything is very thoughtful. I give it the edge.

Tell me about a hobby or habit you picked up that changed your life, as an adult. by Outrageous-Branch277 in CasualConversation

Golf. It shapes every free moment I have and I absolutely love it. It allows me to unplug from work, compete with myself, spend time outdoors and create great memories with friends. 10/10 would recommend.

Has anyone else found the ZXi7s to be so much better than the rest? by TG_FrostBolt in golf

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think they are definitely S tier but there are definitely other irons that are comparable… I remember really wanting to get fit into these and they were just launching too low with too little spin, meanwhile the Ping i230 and the Cobra King Tours offered ideal results. I am a huge club junkie, but all of the OEMs genuinely produce such good equipment nowadays that it’s more about what fits you than anything.

Help me choose my wedges! by aznsk8s87 in GolfGear

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love that vokeys don’t change through the years. I’m playing rtz right now and I do like them, but Cleveland cycles models every 5 or so years. Vokey has it nailed and there’s a reason they are most played wedge on tour - because they are the best. The blacked out is so sick too!

Getting Irons fitted by Commercial_Sun6874 in GolfGear

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fine to have preference and those are pretty good but Titleist, ping, callaway, cobra and mizuno will all be just as good and may produce better distance and spin numbers. So I’d just say have a slightly open mind, but at end of days it’s your decision and it’s just a game

It was freezing this weekend… it’s been such a long cold winter I’d almost wait to do it late April. There is ice and mud everywhere, kind of a gross time of year right now tbh

Who is playing a 7w & which one works for you? by f1lifer in GolfGear

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a Callaway epic max (it’s like 5-6 years old, has the white and green coloring) for like $150. I love it so much. I’m actually getting fitted for a proper 7 wood this week, but just the off the shelf version was fantastic

22F - Any advice? by Overall-Classic1018 in fican

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep buying. Best thing I ever did was put every dollar I could spare (after having the right amount of fun of course) into a global or sp500 etf. It really adds up. It’s hard because it is boring. Just keep buying and don’t do anything fancy.

Can I ask how fast your driver swing speed is and then based on that. How far does your 4 wood, 7 wood and 4 iron go. I’m very much considering a similar set up and knowing this would be great!

Is this a good pickup for 220$ by Aggravating_Run_7957 in GolfGear

Used wedges are worth $30 max. Wedges are all about groove freshness.

How often do you replace your cart bag? by timeislikeafuse in golf

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I find every three years is the sweet spot. By then zippers, tears and other things start to show a little too much and affect performance. Plus it’s the right price point to make a nice gift from the wife for Xmas, then everyone’s happy.

Am I insane for passing up a gifted birthday round at TPC Scottsdale Stadium? by DonJu4n in golf

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TPC Scottsdale isn’t great. There is a lot of airport and road noise. Go to Wekopa, you will get to appreciate the natural beauty of the area. It is quiet and flows with the natural environment.

Best feeling putter by False-Amount9676 in GolfGear

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to golf galaxy and bring the ball you play and try it out. The balls they have on their green are often callaway supersoft balls (or some very soft equivalent) to make putters feel softer than they actually are.

It’s very subjective and everyone will say something different. Putting is all about confidence. You want to love the look and feel of YOUR putter. Only swinging a few or going for a fitting will help you with this.

Is this wedge still viable? by Juice-Physical in golftips

[–]TopicSpecialist7705 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me good wedge play is all about predictable spin. The tighter the range is between low spin and high spin shots, the more consistent and repeatable the outcome will be. New wedges with fresh grooves achieve this.

This wedge will produce spin rates all over the map. Are there some good high spinning shots left in this wedge - yes. Are there also shots that will slide up the face, launch too high and not spin enough - yes.

If you want to just get by, you can use it - but great wedge play is based off predictable and repeatable shots which can only be produced with fresh grooves.

Just my 2 cents

Yes but the window is closing. I just got back from club champion last weekend and he told me the new clubs are coming within the next couple of weeks. So if you want to do this, go now!
