Every high end tour ball costs within $2-3 dollars of each other. Until last years ball testing by MGS Callaway balls were doing quite well. They had that 1 ball go off the planet and suddenly every ball they make is crap. I get it. People want good QC, so they go back and take control of the process. For some who claim to want the QC standard raised for Callaway it’s still not good enough. They have to lure you back. Why? Why does the comPany have to lure you back with a discounted price. You either like the ball and play it, or you don’t. They don’t owe us anything except doing what they are doing. Making a better ball. I don’t have the swing speed that is required for the CSX so that release doesn’t affect me, but I do play the CS and if I had to wait another 2 months while they fixed the QC issues with the CSX I would be angry, especially since the CS is ready for market. For you guys who don’t play the Callaway balls, the release dates don’t matter To you anyway. I am a consumer who does use the CS ball and can’t wait for March 12 so I can get some.

I had an incident with my bag and a couple wedges were damaged I had some used almost new Cleveland RTX 4 wedges that I got and reshafted I only had 52, 56. So I put them in the bag. These are super smooth to play so now what I want to buy the 3rd wedge. My gaps are such that I need a 50 and bend it to 49. The also need to bend the the others to 53, and 57. I wasn’t sure I would like the RTX-4 but they are good.

The Yellow and Black Truvis is the ball I use. I’ve tried others, but they just don’t work the same, so I am CS Truvis from now on. QC issues or not, thats the ball that works for me. I will try the CSX when it comes out, but the CS works better for me. I hope they run a buy 2 get 1 deal that would be great.

Saw the pre order for the new Chrome soft is available

I used to like to watch nick price back when he was in his prime. All time favorite is Phil. I like many more but those or my 2 favorites

When I hit a good shot into the green no matter what club it is I call it “Be right”. Of if I am not sure it the distance is correct I will call it “get up”, or “get down”

It’s that way at a lot of places.

On slow days during the week I can see that, but Saturday its tough to allow. We had 5 one time and kept up with the group in front of us. Of course we split up coming into 9, but when paired up again in 10 fairway

It sucks when that happens. Either they need to split up or let everyone go through when someone catches up. Our club pro sets the rules and doesn’t like it when they are broken. He isn’t afraid to let people know either.

Yes length is always an advantage. Dialing it back doesn’t fix that issue. I am not one for dialing it back, I think course setup is the way to change the game. Let’s face it, these guys are really good, they can hit shots that we can’t. I say let’s enjoy watching them hit bombs. The scores aren’t that much different from year to year. Yes the scoring is up a little. If the only guys that are winning are the guys who fit into the longest on tour category then yes there’s an issue, but they aren’t always the one winning. When you consider that the short hitter ls on tour are still around 295 they all hit it long. I say leave it, set up the course a little different and see what happens before you start adding length to everything

I grew up swinging RH clubs because that’s what we had in the house. There’s more companies now that provide Lh equipment so it’s not terrible, and we have a pretty good community of us that will sell and trade between us so we can get equipment at less cost than buying preowned from OEM or GG or someplace like that.

I’m not sure about anyone else, but when was the last time you hit a drive that landed at 250 and rolled another 70 yards. These guys are hitting The fairway at 300 yards and then the ball rolls another 50-60 yards. To me that’s simple, let the fairway grass be a touch longer like it is every other day. Make the rough more penalizing. Thicker, Deeper, more whispy. Make it so the rough is not pristine Everywhere. Make it unpredictable. The course doesn’t have to be long to be difficult.

I think 13% is the number of Lh golfers. The 3% he speaks of is probably the amount of Lh golfers that they plan on for the business. Since not all LH golfers will purchase from them.

I joined in Feb 2013. Man that was a while ago.

Interesting concept. I have never thought about that before. Essentially you are counterbalancing the weight of the club, but you are doing it so that they are uniform in total weight. It’ll be interesting to hear the results from on course play. I know there is a grip called the secret grip that is weighted, but I don’t think they are progressive to make all the irons the same weight. This is a bit interesting though. I’ll be watching to see any comments by some of the fitters or club makers in here.

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the dollars and cents. As a Lefty though looking for a good set of clubs that offer great quality without the higher cost of OEM clubs is non existent unless we look into knockoffs or clones. I’d rather buy from a company like sub 70 instead for $550 instead of buying the Acer Cp2 for the same price.

Not all OEMs offer the full line, but most do offer a decent selection, but we are still limited to only OEM products, unless you count knock offs. Which is what many folks do when they have a limited budget. All of the knockoff clubs out there could be DTC clubs if they were offered, and judging by how many knock off companies are out there offering lefty stuff. I’d say it’s a fair amount of money changing hands. I understand the expense of it. It’s just that us lefties get left out in the cold on a lot of good products.

Yes exactly. They don’t need to make everything in lefty. Check our sub 70’s set of black CB’s. I would seriously consider those for the next set I purchase, but no lefty available. Almost all DTC, and small market companies are like that. There are also several OEM’s like that as well.

we are a smaller pc of the pie, but we are still part of the pie. It’s awful nice that these DTC companies offer the RH golfer a huge discounted set of clubs. It is what it is and they aren’t going to change. It just sucks when you find something that looks great and then you search for it only to find out that it isn’t available in Lefty. That goes for DTC and many OEM’s.

I have a bi-Matrix x flex shaft in the garage it already has the steel tip, and I am not using it for anything. I wonder what would happen if I cut that down. I probably won’t, but...

One major issue for most DTC clubs is that there are either no Left handed options, or only the SGI club is offered in LH. I am all for DTC companies, but it’s difficult to support them when they completely ignore an entire population of LH golfers.

I am need of a project x LZ 6.0 9/W shaft. New or pull is fine. Would like +1/2” or longer. Would like to stay around $20-25. Anything more than that and I might as well buy new. Apparently something happened with my bag, I had 4 shafts get bent or dented somehow, and this is he last shaft I need to replace. Thanks.

I look at this way. If you like Callaway stuff, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t like Callaway stuff, it won’t matter what they do or try to do, you will find something to not like.

Actually Phil did use 2 different drivers at Augusta a few years back. One that was longer draw biased and one that was shorter that he could fade easier. It would be nice to be able to change balls for a particular shot, but we aren’t allowed. Dean Snell promotes finding a golf ball that you like from 100 yards and in. Most tour style golf balls are very close distance wise from the tee. So he says to find something for the short game. I tend to listen to him. After all he is the mastermind behind the Prov and Orignal TP series golf balls. I think he knows a little bit about it.

Yes, you are correct, there is no ball that is perfect for all conditions that one light encounter on a course during the round of golf. Unfortunately the rules of golf don’t allow you to change balls from one shot to the next. That’s why you have to choose for yourself. You have to find a ball that gives you what you want. Anyone can adapt to any golf ball and score just as well with it. I think the majority like to find a ball and stick with it for a while because it helps them eliminate a variable in he process. If you lay the same ball, you can have expectations of what the ball will do instead of changing balls all the time and not having any idea how it will react. Even on the tour balls Callaway, titleist, Bridgestone, taylormade will be slightly different for each individual. Most Guys pick one from the favorite manufacturer and go with it, then there is no guessing on what the all will do. specifically around the green.
