Awestin reacted to Cory O in The cleanest blade you've ever seen August 19

I like having blades to mess around with even if (purely based on skill) I shouldn't be hitting them. The minimalist designs of a lot of the DTC brands out there also caught my eye, so I wondered why anyone hadn't taken it to the extreme and designed a blade with absolutely no branding on it whatsoever. Starting chatting with a rep for head manufacturer in China that produces the irons for some of those DTC brands, mocked something up, and asked for a 4 club sample. These were the results and honestly I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

I decided to ask them to produce a limited number of them (assembled sets and head only). Production will take a couple months and I'll see where that goes. https://www.instagram.com/cory.justgolf/

i went with something very similar to this and have been loving it so far.

oops actually move all the irons down and over 1 as my 3 wood is in the 5i spot

Awestin reacted to Rob Person in How would you organize this bag? August 8

Assiming this is a riding cart bag, This would be one of 2 for my configuration preferences.
The alternate being the center having a 4i or shorter wood/hybrid
Also, your bag is unique as it has 4 center slots top to bottom, where most are 3 or 4 straight across.
Every setup would be different for me depending on the top layout.

Quick evening update - the package arrived!
I've been documenting photos and initial thoughts for my unboxing/initial thoughts post, but here's a quick preview on the hardware side:

i have had this bag for 2 years and i just cant seem to find a great way to organize it. What are your thoughts? driver up top and woods down one side? irons in an S pattern?

All my irons came with the lamkin cross line grips. I really like them so far. Pretty basic and cheap grip so I regripped my wedges, 3W, and Hybrid with them earlier this season. I then got fit for a driver a month ago and they recommend the Golf Pride MCC multi compound and I really like that. Will probably regrip every with those next year once the lamkin grips are worn out.

For gloves I’ve used quite a few at this point. Kirkland are great for value and last a while but don’t have the best fit and stretch around the knuckles fast. I tried the PXG glove after reading the MGS reviews. It was so soft and the fit is amazing but I had to retire it after about 8 rounds and 8 range sessions. I’ve gone back to Srixons premium glove and find the fit and feel very similar to the PXG but at 8 rounds in it’s just now showing a tiny bit of wear, the PXG was dirty and wearing through by that point. Mizuno is also another great option that’s in the middle price point.

3w and Driver switch sides depending on if I am driving or riding. Its a Ping Traverse 2019-20 model I think!

Awestin reacted to mynerds in How would you organize this bag? July 12

I'm a fan of the S pattern in a 14-way bag since it generally gives your longer irons clearance over your short irons and wedges. Also check out this thread for some inspiration!

Awestin reacted to Shrek74 in How would you organize this bag? July 12

I'm going to assume you're driving the cart, otherwise items in 1 & 2 would swap.
This is how it would work with my current clubs (YMMV):
1 - Driver
2 - 3 Wood
3 - 5 Wood
4 - 7 Wood
5 - Hybrid
6 - 6 Iron
7 - 7 Iron
8 - 8 Iron
9 - 9 Iron
10 - Sand Wedge
11 - Pitching Wedge
12 - Gap Wedge
13 - Putter
14 - Lob Wedge

Still experimenting with gloves at the moment. I really liked the Footjoy Hyperflex, but it actually shrank with use and now it doesn’t fit! May try again if i find them on sale.
I also picked up a Vice Duro the other day, fits well, hasn’t stretched out after probably 300 balls at the range, and it breathes well so I don’t feel the need to swap gloves after half an hour of use.
New irons have Dritac 2.0 grips, absolutely great so far.

That’s some great info! I’ve thought about going for a fitting, might be next year. I just want to try them all and see what’s best.

Another for the Kirkland Camp! Its nice to buy them 4 at a time for a great price, then fit well and the leather is soft. I can have a gamer, one stashed in the car, one in the bag, and another in the garage with the rest of my stuff, cycle through them as needed.
For grips, currently gaming Golf Pride MCC+4 Standard. Looking to move up to Midsize when I start replacing my clubs. But the MCC are great, I tend to have pretty sweaty hands in the summer, and I've never really had an issue with my grip.

Awestin reacted to NHRon in Grips and gloves July 11

Winn Dri-Tac 2.0 grips, mainly because they are the best I've found for resisting slippage in hot, humid conditions. Many people I play with don't like them because they're too soft and/or they wear out too fast. My grip is very stable, so they don't wear out for me. For a golf grip to wear there has to be abrasion, and for there to be abrasion there has to be movement of the grip relative to your hand during the swing. If you have wear marks on your current grips near the butt end and on the heel of the palm on your glove, do not buy Dri-Tacs. You will end up replacing them very quickly.
My go to glove for many years has been the Wilson Staff Conform. The mesh on the back keeps my hand a little cooler and helps it fit better, and I can usually find them for <$12. I also like Mizuno Elites when I find a deal on them.
I recently bought some FootJoy TropiCool gloves (first time I've seen them in men's sizes) and they've worked well on several hot, humid days we've had here lately. Well enough that I wish they made them for the right hand too. Until they do, I will go back to wearing a synthetic "rain glove" on my right hand when it gets really humid.

Welcome - you will get a variety of answers here but that's okay as the way you framed the question you were looking for a broad spectrum.
Count me in the Kirkland camp for gloves although I do have a batch of footjoys that I picked up at the end of the year when they were on sale very cheap at my club - I go cheap with gloves because I blow through them this time of year - I had to change gloves yesterday in a 9 hole round -

For grips its Winn dry-tac LT's. I'm a bit older and I find they are very helpful with my arthritis - as a side benefit they also tend to straighten out my hook a bit. You should have a pro or a fitter look at your hands and discuss your game with you a bit when deciding on a grip to use - that would not be very expensive - likely nothing if you were looking to buy the gloves through him.
Good luck

For gloves I really enjoy the Kirkland. Grips I've done the Lamkin Crossline and Golf Pride Tour Velvet, like them both and don't have any distinguishing opinion between the two

Awestin reacted to Shapotomous in Grips and gloves July 11

I order gloves from MG Golf because they are good quality and cheap at $7.50. I use Golf Pride Tour Wrap grips because they last a looooong time....Like multiple years long.
