I can totally agree with this. I've done fittings at multiple places and PXG is very very good... and it sounds like the Gen7 version of their irons is something I should take a serious look at.

Beautiful country out there. Hopefully the show goes well and it helps all those in need. Go Bo Nix!

Interesting; sounds like he is advocating for a round grip for several reasons. at the very least as a training aid. the part about the flat part not being aligned properly during installation is thought provoking. I wonder how many people miss because of that?

Hard to go wrong with any of the Pings out there. This has also been very helpful in my research - https://mygolfspy.com/buyers-guides/fairway-woods/ -
IMO - I don't think we're good enough for a perfect anything; I think there's 'good enough'. on the flip side, I know when a ball is not good for me. My experience is similar to yours @chisag. Once I get into a certain category of balls I don't see a noticeable difference. That being said, I'm a Maxfli Tour X player as I have found I get the best performance per dollar from that one. ...and yes, I've had rounds where the 4 of us walk to our balls and each guy is asking 'is that your Titleist' or 'your Callaway' and I say no I play a Maxfli and it's up there.

Who doesn’t want to play a muscle back iron?

every fitting I've been to for the last 5 years they use the 6 iron. -
GolfSpy SAM's experience with Parks Shoes
StrokerAce replied to GolfSpy SAM's topic in Member Reviews
neat looking shoe... sounds like you can wear them for more than just post-round-hang-out stuff too. almost like a pair of flip-flops. is the top part a soft flexible mesh that stretches? I would need either that or a wide foot bed. how is the insole? do you feel like you're walking on concrete or is there some cushion in the bed? do the fit true to size or would you go up half a size? -

Welcome along for the ride! Your experience and knowledge will be most welcome; feel free to start new topics and comment on other conversations. Regarding club building- What are some tips that you would give a novice that is looking to build a set of clubs? Are there any must have tools that you would recommend? What are some things that are overlooked (i.e. swingweight) that golfers should pay more attention to? In regards to clubs and shafts - I know that shaft flex is not a standard in the industry; did you find any instance where one OEM regular is the same as another OEM stiff? -
Nice job and welcome back! I hope your ticker is back to good working condition. I looked up your golf course and this is one of the photos: Are kangaroos on a golf course a common thing? I've heard they can be aggressive. What do you do if your ball is right in the middle of a pack?

StrokerAce replied to hckymeyer's topic in The Daily
haha - great point! I was a golf neophyte when I first joined and now I feel like I could build every club in my bag from different parts. I have learned an unbelievable amount of stuff since I've been on here; I also feel educated enough that I can ask the right questions to find the proper answer quick story- a buddy who I've played with for a number of years has a 12deg G400 driver and I asked him what the flex and weight of his shaft were and he looked at me like I just asked him to solve the meaning of life. I probably would have given that same look before I joined this forum! -
I wonder if Cobra found that a one length golfer is less of GI/SGI player and more of a players iron player? This is the description of the KING Tec:

I've always been curious about 'stepping' shafts. I was once fit into a set of irons that were supposed to be "soft stepped once".... I didn't buy them and had no idea what that meant at the time. pretty awesome to be able to build your own clubs and get creative like that!
