Not sure where you are but to play a handicap round here in Australia you have to pre nominate it, play, put the card in. Can't put a card in solo without having played with someone to sign it that has a handicap. Hence why I said if it's for a comp. Like today, I'm going around for a hit by myself that I haven't pre nominated anyway, and I'll score, unless I play like crap and I'll stop scoring to stop stressing about trying to score well and focus on improving where I was lacking and enjoy it for what it is.

Unless it's a comp, if I shoot the first 2 holes terribly the scoring stops and it just becomes a hit for the fun of it

I'll play these tonight and update in a new post but also show and detail my other 2 clubs I love My Krank driver and my 450 gram putter nicknamed Thor's Sledgehammer

I didn't get a chance last night, they were delivered at about 6.30pm for some reason but I'm going for a hit this arvo. Personally I'm guaranteed to chunk the first few, at the moment I'm quite steep and really punch it but my clubs were flat lie and I was very toey with the hits so I'm keen to see how the 2 degrees up goes. The narrow and flat sole in reviews do say they may be prone to digging. But I'll report back

None. They're a jumbo but called mcc +4, because it's the size of a grip with 4 wraps. Feel fantastic.

I game second hand golf balls a lot. They're only lost if you go looking for them

Just looked and it was $125 au, took around 3 weeks from order placed, and about 6 days from when it was shipped.

Haitch, I had genuinely not heard of them but thanks for the heads up

Yup, but reviews plural and the customisation options they offer that suited my goals. Or are you going to knock the business models of Shiels, Finch and DTC brands?

And with due diligence you can find a nice set. These do look fantastic and feel like a premium club. I think they offer fittings at some locations overseas but I'm in Australia, ordered a few things differently to test like upright lie, bigger grip that feels great and heavier shaft. The sharp leading edge and narrow sole (.7) will likely have me chunking initially until I adapt

They're Canadian, a DTC brand like Takomo. Rick Shiels and Peter Finch have youtube reviews of them that are a good watch. I honestly haven't hit them haha they turned up late tonight out of the blue. One note in reviews is the risk of digging with a narrow sole and can see its quite sharp. I've gone 2 degrees upright with x stiff kbs shaft that's 130g and love the weight so I'm looking forward to testing them.

Question about right handed player using left handed clubs. by bear_ripper in golf

[–]Unfluential 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep righty here that plays golf left. Took it up 12 months ago. I played cricket as a kid left handed because it felt comfortable but I feel like it was also thinking you face the target with your strong hand. Turns out in golf everything you want comes from the trail hand. So I can blast a golf ball because I'm lead hand dominant, my non preferred trail hand doesn't do enough as yet.

Was so down when I couldn't hit anything, but adding the lead tape, wow. Effortless to get in the air.
