I was watching James Robinson on YouTube yesterday who purchased a Taylormade M1. That club is old. He and his buddy hit their drives as far as they were hitting their new drivers. I looked up a 2nd hand M1 on 2nd Swing Golf used. There were many. Most between $189-289 depending on condition. Most were in average to below average condition. If you find a used club in the right condition that fits you and you like it, go for it.

I like my 14-way bag. I know where my clubs are exactly and that is important at my age. I use mid grips. Dividers from top to bottom. I have a Titleist 14-way bag.

Going down to work on fairway woods off the deck and then putting.

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.

I use the same wood selections as well.

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. -

Short Game Drills
Bassbeamer replied to TexasFullSend's topic in Lessons, Drills, Mental Game, and Fitness Tips
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.
