  1. in the past, I have always purchased used clubs. My approach is to hit them on the simulator and see how I like them. At your level of golf I think unless the club is a terrible fit you can find a club that will work well. Lie angles can be adjusted. Additionally, With used clubs you can hit every club and check the gapping before you purchase. Basically this approach works, it just takes a bit more knowledge and time.
  2. Thats why saying something like inside 16 feet is really a bad way of putting things. It is like when the TV announcers say that a player made X amount of putts inside of 12 feet. They probably made 1 12 footer and all the rest were inside of 3 feet.
  3. I don't think the combo is a problem. I wouldn't adjust the lofts until you hit them and determine the gapping. Why bend if you don't have too?
  4. sounds like they didn't build their heads correctly with the adapter system.
  5. Callaway also provides recommendations on their iron pages: https://www.callawaygolf.com/golf-clubs/iron-sets/
  6. Lots of great work on the putting, but I think you need to really look at putting expectations. You didn't specify the distances of those 8 putts, but anything outside of 8 feet is the 50/50 distance. If those putts were all inside of 8 feet, I wouldn't question your 6 of 8 desire.
  7. adjusting the lofts is about gapping; not the clubs themselves. As was said, most manufacturers make it easy for their clubs to be put into combo sets. If you need to fix gaps, you just bend to the lofts that give you the correct distance.
  8. Lines were shorter here today but I would say 70% of the gas stations you pass have no gas. I will say that the memes resulting from this are pretty funny.
  9. You like trades, straight up, my team for yours.
  10. You seem to be using the wrong formulas and information too calculate your data. The easiest way to lower launch is the lower the loft of your head.
  11. No. Also the loft of the club does not necessarily equal the loft at impact; that is sOmething called dynamic loft. A vertical shaft at impact would be essentially be delivering the club at the stated loft. This is why you question is so hard to answer; there are lots of interrelated variables and without knowing them we don’t know what you are actually doing in your swing.
  12. As kids we were outside all day everyday. Pool, playing in the neighborhood, riding bikes, playing sports, fishing, etc. when it got dark we came in or played night games like spotlight.
  13. Portable launch monitors aren’t always that accurate regarding spin. Based on that response I’ll assume you just purchased the Titleist without any comparison to your current driver on the same launch device. broken tees don’t always indicate descending AoA; a large percentage of PGA pros are decending with driver and they don’t always break their tee. 10 up would be Bryson and Kyle Berkshire type AoA. If you are that high, I would suggest getting it into the normal golfer 2-5 range as that will reduce you launch angle significantly. Where is your typical impact location, not your miss. Slightly above center is ideal as it produces better launch spin characteristics.
  14. If they are going to talk about how close pros hit the ball to the hole they need to do a better job of giving real information and not the BS that most announcers say. id change the broadcast to have drone coverage of all the players. You pick the players or groups you want to watch and can stream it live. The masters coverage via the app is almost an ideal way to match golf.
  15. Sped control is you number 1 thing. Go to the 50 minute make in this video and practice this drill or some form of ladder drill on longer putts I would also suggest green reading skills. I don’t have the link handy but the drill was basically to put a ghost hole about 1/3 of putt distance away from the hole and indicates where you think the putt needs to roll over to go in the hole Then roll the putt and see how well you are reading putts. I also do gate drills. That includes ball gates; to show that you can start the ball online with any length putt, and putter gates; to show that you r putts are being struck in the middle of the face You can do these drills indoors easily and don’t require anymore than about 5 feet of space
  16. Your point is very important and many players don’t consider. some players swing the putter head and want the feeling of weight there. Others want the weight in their hands; which the gravity grip is great for.
  17. I think I just traded off the last of my original players wasn’t unhappy with my picks but they just aren’t performing as well as I would have hoped. My one regret was that I didn’t pick up zalatoris earlier. He was a player wanted before the draft but just waited too long.
  18. If we are doing this in fun, then my answer would be based on the posts that occur within the threads. I think posting in the what did you buy thread is just a clever way for @dlow206 and @Golfspy_CG2 to avoid making a new thread to tell us what clubs they bought an hour ago.
  19. Are the spin and launch numbers a guess since you can’t measure on a launch monitor? When you were purchasing the club what type of numbers were you seeing when comparing the drivers? Too many unknowns to be able to give you any real advice as there could be many causes. Spin and launch can be related; but you can have various combinations based on how you deliver the club. The easiest way to lower your launch is to lower the loft of your driver. Just because you were in the 10:range with the M5 doesn’t mean that is what you need in the Titleist. Do you know if your angle of attack is down or up? Downward has a tendency to increase spin. Where do you hit the ball on the face? High generally is lower spinning than low on the face.
  20. You will not get a definitive answer unless you send it in. You have two people responding. I think it is probably real and the other believes it is fake. Your initial point about you belief that it was fake was that the cherry dots fell out; That happens with these putters. Then you mentioned that the weights don’t sit flush. You have aftermarket weights or the weights are real and the putter is a fake, or the weights just aren’t seated correctly. The PGA superstore indicated it was real and part of their responsibility is ensuring the clubs they take in are real.
  21. I watched the videos multiple times until the next set was made available. Was good to hear the info multiple times to make sure it sunk in.
  22. Absolutely bizarre. Gas stations around me are running out of gas and those that have gas have lines that are probably 45 min+ wait. People are reporting that stations may not have anymore gas until next week. Hopefully they get this pipeline shutdown thing fixed soon.
  23. There are usually some tell tale signs and many of the fakes are really good copies. unless you were comparing fonts and letter placement side by side you would never know. Based on the condition you wouldn’t get top dollar if you tried to sell. But the only way to be sure would be to send it in and it probably isn’t worth dining that. Enjoy the putter, Cameron’s don’t putt any better than another brand; even if it is fake.
  24. It was definitely used and abused. The cherry bombs falling out is a fairly common occurrence. Looks right to me, other than the cherry bombs what makes you think it is fake?
