  1. Callaway Tour Authentic Glove - simple review! Looks - place to start is the look which I can only describe as simple! I love the way this glove looks and the best part of this for me is the stitching lines in the palm, it almost feels as if it isn’t there. Comfort - I’ve found this glove very very comfortable. I can keep it on for the majority of the round and sometimes forget I have it on, my hand doesn’t sweat throughout the round which is fantastic, however the downside is that sometimes the cuff on the wrist can rub a little bit, the only solution I’ve found to stop this is to loosen off a little bit. Durability - I tend to grip clubs quite tightly so this is a massive thing for myself, but I am currently on my 10th round with this glove and there is very very minimal wear. With the weather in the UK at the moment being its usual appalling self, I’ve noticed no scrunching up due to wet weather either, which has genuinely shocked me! Overall I’d say that I am glad I spent the extra money on this glove as opposed to other cheaper alternatives. As above, I’ve only used this for 10 rounds but I’m now struggling to think of a time when I’ll change to a different alternative for the foreseeable future. I would 100% recommend!
  2. Yeah I’ll ask him mate. i quite like the idea of trial and error though. Not good enough to spend the money on ProV1’s at present.
  3. Joining has made me bite the bullet and I’ve booked a fitting session, these are the clubs I’m testing Taylor Made P790’s Ping i540’s Titleist T200 Callaway Apex I’ll put up a post after the fitting with my views but based on aesthetics, I’m leaning towards TM’s or Pings.
  4. i think ultimately it just depends on your yardages so I wouldn’t even think about how many wedges there are, if your set up allows for a yardage in 10 yard increments, that would be sound.
  5. Hi All, Quick introduction to myself as a new member. 34 year old from Birmingham (UK). Been playing about 5 years now and I’m currently off 18.8. Try and play every week but with a 2 year old, it’s getting harder to do this! Below is my WIYB at present so if anyone has any comments or recommendations for other gear, let me know! Driver: Taylor Made Stealth, stiff shaft. When I was fitted for this my swing speed was about 109mph, unsure what I’m at now but it has been a few years since I bought it. 3 Wood: Taylor Made Stealth 2, stiff shaft. The only 3 wood I tried that I liked at the time, took a bit of time getting used too but I love the thing off the tee, horrendous off the deck but that is my fault! Irons - 5/6/7/8/9/P: Callaway OS XR 2016, regular shaft. Had the shafts lengthened 1in as I was standing up quite a lot in my swing. I’m now looking for new irons as my swing has changed so don’t need the extra length, and they also feel quite heavy in the swing. Wedges: 50°/54°/58° Taylor Made Hi Toe 3. Also had these clubs lengthened an inch. Fantastic clubs and don’t have a bad thing to say about them! Putter: Taylor Made Spider 2016, red. My favourite club and it would take an exceptional putter for me to ever want to change. The weight distribution through the putting swing is brilliant and it is a god send on quicker greens as the club does the work. Balls: Callaway Supersoft. Lovely ball to hit wedges with but not the longest in distance in my eyes, currently looking at changing and the Bridgestone E6 has been lovely on the two or three occasions I’ve used it. Thanks for reading!
  6. Hi All, been using my golf shot for a number of years and just wanted to say thanks for all the brilliant reviews and posts over the years. finally created an account and look forward to interacting and passing my own views and opinions
