How Long Do You Keep Golf Gloves?
Bassbeamer replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in General Equipment Talk
I rotate gloves. When they get dirty, shining and slippery I discard them because my hands start slippy on the grip. I also clean my grips using club grip wipes which make the gloves last longer. I like Titleist Perma Soft gloves. -
I will play my ball multiple rounds. Most likely 3-4 rounds.

I normally use mid-size Golf Pride CP2 wrap grips. I live in PA and we golf in the winter. I have mild arthritis. I used the Jumbo CP2 wrap on my driver and 3 wood in cold weather which helps me with mild hand joint pain. When it warms up, I take them off. I have good dispersion with the jumbo grips. I am a little wristy with my hands and prefer the mid-size which is why I go back to them when its warmer.

I bought the Maxfli Tour cube. I have not hit them yet. I have been playing either Callaway Soft Chrome and Srixon Q Tour. Looking forward to see how these balls play. Update: The Maxfli TourX is a very good ball. I have used for three months and I like them. Was using Srixon QStarTour and they are very comparable. Soft ball holds the greens yet can be driven far.

Stealth, the future, and marketing
Bassbeamer replied to DriverBreaker's topic in General Equipment Talk
Great old ads. Thanks for the article. I hate to admit it but I swallowed a lot of this marketing malarky over the years trying to purchase that extra distance. Now I am a senior looking for a combination of distance with good dispersion. I at the age where I will not gaining more distance. I grown comfortable with 225 in the fairway. In my younger days it was 250+ in the woods oob. We do get a little wiser as we grow older. -

I did purchase a monitor. Use it outside at home hitting into a net. I on my 7,8,and nine irons to know my distances. I agree on comments about going to the range. I go to review and hone in on my swing to-get the correct direction. -

I am a Golf Pride CP2 midsize wrap. Touch of arthritis in the hands. I no longer can use standard grips. These work for me.

Is the 60º wedge really that hard?
Bassbeamer replied to BostonSal's topic in General Equipment Talk
I have a 60/12 Callaway PM Grind in my bag. I use it in deeper sand traps and those tricky shots over a sand trap onto the green. The higher toe wedge took me a bit to get use to but I love the club. -

I ordered g425 graphite irons 4-pitching wedge with CP2 wrap grips. Took 9 weeks. I now have the gap wedge on order to match the set. It has been 8 weeks. Expected shipping date 10-20. Needless to say I was not happy with the length of time but I knew it was longer than normal going in. I was thinking 6 weeks but that was a pipe dream. I like the clubs and the UST Recoil ES smac wrap 780/ F3 shafts.

I agree with your post. Ping g425 fairway woods are great. I have the 3,5,7,9 in my bag. The 7 and 9 woods are easy to hit off the deck. I have trouble with hybrids so I use the 7 and 9 fairway woods. The head sizes agree with me and I am successful making good shots with them. I highly recommend trying these fairway woods.
