Javs- peaked my curiosity… what are you looking at replacing with this now? Always curious about the high ticket value equipment and it making a difference in your game. Even if the high spec brings you increased confidence whenever you’re over the ball!!

I’ve been playing an Adams Redhead putter for about 16 years but unfortunately the time has come for my old friend to be replaced. I’m more budget conscious when it comes to my equipment and have a Cleveland Huntington Beach #8 Premier on order now… should arrive any day (hopefully cause I have a tee time on Tuesday).

Sure is - one of the original 1000. My brother found it a few years ago and got it for my birthday - still need to pick a good spot to put it on display. 

Is that an authentic  Happy Gilmore putter!!??
 

Different kind of 3 putt -- buying your 3rd LAB putter

Love this. Has me motivated to look into building a mallet to my own design and specs and see how it performs. Time to do some digging.
 

It arrived!

Finding all kinds of deals lately. 
New in wrapper Cleveland Huntington Beach Collection #8 putter with headcover for $60 CAD.

It’s a different game with different challenges. It does help keep the swing in shape during the winter and I get off to better starts during the season than I used to before I started playing in a sim in the winter. 

I like to use a sim every now and then, I will say that it helped me keep my swing through the winter months. Normally around here it cost about 30.00 for 18 on the sim. I’m going to be going to top golf for the first time within the next couple weeks, my daughter got me a gift card, the have all you can hit balls Monday through Friday from open till Noon at the one near me. Overall I like the sims, 

I can honestly say that sim golf brought my handicap from the  teens to where it is now (As of last week 0.6,  I know, it went up a fraction of a point. It was the Kingsmill outing). I have my own hitting bay using the Optishot2  in conjunction with a Mevo.
The Optishot2 gives me the club path (open, closed, swing path outside in or inside out) and swing speed. I can use the driving range or play a lot of courses without yearly fees. The OS2 I believe is the only system that will work with hard foam balls. This will help save you from golfers elbow and you don't have to worry about a guest shanking a ball into something. 
I set the Mevo up behind the Optishot to get me all the ball data. Spin, carry, ball speed, smash factor, and more using real balls.
I can really work on my game at any time. Today it was 101 degrees outside so I just turned on the system and spent 45 minutes on the range without breaking a sweat. 
When I go to the course its just to play golf. No range. The balls usually suck and it can mess up all the things I worked on at home with good balls. On occasion I'll bring my own balls (ones I have played that made it to the shag bag) to the range to work on a driver but that's about it. 
Is a sim perfect, no. Can you groove a repeatable swing, yes. 

Love SIM golf, is it accurate, no, can it be better, yes, it’s putting atrocious… absolutely! But living in Canada where my golf season is only 6 months long SIM golf is a big part of my golf life. Plus it gets us out with our friends for a nice causal round of fun getting to “see some courses we’d otherwise never get to play”. Some of the places we have in town have some pretty wild tech from Korea as well that get you way more feedback on your swing that a simple session at the range would provide, you can learn a lot about your consistent metrics and where you may need to improve.

I bought the complete 2022 set and I can say it’s a huge upgrade to the 20 year old set I was given to see if I would enjoy golf. I am very new to the sport but I enjoy how easy it is to tell where I made contact at. I also like the sizing info they provide 

These clubs are very interesting. I can’t wait to read how they perform on the golf course.
