I want to start off by stating, I’m a heavier individual and carry a little too much around the middle. This being said, I’ve always had difficulty tucking in golf shirts and not fighting to keep them tucked in during a round of golf. Golf is hard enough without worrying about looking sloppy. I recently purchased a couple of golf polo shirts from Greyson Clothiers (I must say that I fell for the marketing, seeing Justin Thomas wearing the brand). I was happily surprised that their golf wear is extra long yet isn’t baggy. It is by far the most comfortable golf brand I’ve ever wore. On the downside, you can’t really wear it untucked because of the length. It is a high priced brand but overall, worth it for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m always buying golf shoes, new gloves, and basic gear (kinda an addict) Big purchases will be a wedge fitting for SM10’s and possibly a Driver and Wood fitting since I’m on Ping 425’s, may wait till next year for that though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Golf training aids, anything from GolfForever, Speed Sticks, Mirror putting aids, Hackmotion, Tour Striker etc… Training aids are so hit and miss and there are so many that just don’t work, it’d be good to get wide unbiased reviews on them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this is Xander’s year, I think if a LIV player wins it, it will be Neimann. My dark horse is Finau and he is also who I’m rooting for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I know it sounds weird but I’m not a loyal golf brand buyer. I am analytical by nature and like to try and retry anything that will help both my scores and my overall enjoyment of the game. I respect the vendors who are willing to put their products out there for review to put their money where their mouth is. I also play over all over the country (because I travel for work) so I get to play in different environments. I live in Denver so I get the thin air outlook. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello All, I’m excited to be testing the Bridgestone ball. I’ve been a Pro V1 guy since I played golf in high school in the 90’s (probably more the aesthetic of it, probably not the right ball for me). A couple years ago I decided to really find a ball that works best for me, I landed on a Chromesoft. However in the past year I’ve focused on speed training, and as my ball speed increased so did the need for a different ball. My driver ball speed is, on average, 165 MPH, so I moved to the TP5x. I’m excited to see how the Bridgestone ball stacks up and to try out the new Mindset optic

Have anyone been fit for golf balls? Historically I’ve just tried by trial and error but that is getting expensive and tough to take out the launch monitor on the course.

I agree with the difference between distance and player distance are murky at best. You put JPX Hot Metal specs, I said forged, I went with JPX forged which was stock 31 degree for a seven but I modified it to 32 degrees. So you’re talking about the distance irons I was sold being a whole club hotter than what was best for me and even a couple degrees of loft, for something like a seven iron you’re talking about a difference of 1000 spin rate. At the time my club head speed with a 7 iron was right around 89 to 90, I did not need the hot setup. None of this I knew at the time but I do know, that’s why my original question. How do you know your fitter has your best performance in mind?

I went to a fitter for the first time, I have been using the same irons for years (Cleveland Launchers) but my game has drastically improved and I was looking for an upgrade. The fitter discussed my history and what I was looking for. I took a baseline with my current clubs. After that they said my best option was the TaylorMade Stealth or Callaway Paradym. At this time I was not as well versed on clubs (maybe that was my fault). To give them credit there was a marked improvement over my previous irons so the numbers were improved. However after the purchase I did some research and my skill level, my swing speeds, and my requests (I did not need distance irons) I tried Mizuno JPX 921 Forged, PXG Gen 5 0311, and Srixon ZX5 all of them had better feel, sound, spin, and lower dispersion than the ones offered. I never mentioned any need for improved distance so I don’t know why they gave me distance irons other than they were both fairly new models with a ton of marketing.

My experience with golf fitters over the years have been mixed. However the one constant is that they seem to be very close to car salesman. I’m not classifying them all in that vane, just going by my experience. They bring you in and have you test drive various models, mostly pushing the more expensive clubs. They are swayed by incentives or relationships they have with vendors to push their brand. When club fitting is such an important step in your golf journey, it’s concerning to think that it can be filled with such salesmanship. So my question or topic is, how do you trust this process?
