My number look a lot like yours. My 200 club is a 5 wood. I do have a 7 wood in the bag too, but that's my 180 club. I don't carry a 5 iron as I'm too inconsistent with it but the 7 wood is money. Goes 180, straight, and fairly high. For me, a great club into the green which a 5 iron would never do (in my hands). I also use it for holes where I need a certain spot off the tee box due to potential hazards with longer clubs off the tee. Should also mention I have a heavenwood and a divine 9 also though they are not in the bag now. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I've got a blue handcrafted 63g, stiff, that I play in cobra drivers and a green that came in a epic flash I just purchased, 55g, stiff. I played it once unimpresively (first time out in 6 weeks due to covid) and have swapped it out for a hzrdus yellow with better results. The 55g driver is just too light for me and I was swinging too quickly. Yes, I know it's only 8gr. But I can feel the difference (which may be counter weighting in the yellow ) Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Played my first tournament at 13, hacked it around the yard and fields a bit before that. Two day tournament in 8th grade. I won and was hooked. That was 48 years ago. There was some time in there when raising kids when golf was more rare. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Timing, swing "effort", minor change of plane, tempo, hip sway instead of hip turn, grip change, shoulder opening just a shade more and/or not opening as much....... Etc,etc,etc. Even the pros have a hard time grooving it every time. That becomes even more difficult for a normal guy who's playing once a week. So, in response to OP, most consistent, knowing I'm going to spray a few, but lesson the damage on the spray. Distance and straight balls is why I get fit, regardless of club Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Ping g400 Cobra f8 Callaway epic flash (just bought excellent used for 265) Less money, still good IMO Cobra f7 or even the Bio Cell TM M4 Ping G30 or G I have them all above (except f8) though am only playing the g400 and flash now. All of the above, for me, at 98 ss, are very similar distance wise. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Houston city courses are closed. I did play Thursday for the first time in 6 weeks. Packed course. Pre-pay, walkers only. No rakes or water, no pin removal but other than that a fairly normal round. As a walker, I'm usually at a safe distance from other anyway. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I like Caddytek. Bought mine 5 years ago and it still runs like new. No issues. Folks do pick on me because my red wheels are now pink. I have the 4 wheel model. I like cliqgear but couldn't justify the extra $200. If you want accessories though, get the cliqgear. No real support for that with caddytek Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

My swing thoughts are about eliminating those things which cause my shots to be bad. I write them on every page of my tournament holes sheets and in my scorecard when just playing. Shoulder - Tempo - Turn at waist Opening my shoulder too early causes big slices. Tempo speaks for itself. No tempo = look out!!. Turn at waist reminds me to turn, not sway. Those get done, shot turns out fine.. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

62 here, non-beginner with an average swing speed. Balls that I often use that I like and recommend MG Kirkland performance ($15 per dozen) - some reports of cover issues but I've had no issues. Callaway Supersoft from costco, ($15 per dozen) actually the longest ball for me but not tournament legal but as a new golfer, not a worry for you. Pro V1 and V1X - both work well for me though i wont buy them and the MG is on par with these. For me, these work best all around, good driver length, reliable off the irons, will stop in the green and feel good putting. I've played the bricks...duo soft, treo, velocity, tri???, armour in its various iterations, tru-vis, and you name it, but they all have downfalls that exclude them for play for me. As with all golf, YMMV Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I use GP Tour wraps on most everything and Winn dry Tacs when I have them or when the club has them on purchase. I regrip almost exclusively with the tour wraps. This is with over 100 rounds a year in Houston and I don't have slip issues with them. I've tried MCCs several times and they are just too hard, like holding a brick IMO.

Jack favorite of all time for his pure love of the game and intensity. Phil. Now it's more about players I like to watch...in no particular order... Ricky Dustin Jordan Patrick Reed ... intensity again Kisner Used to dislike but have changed on Rory Justin Thomas Most disliked of all time...Tiger Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Many locations wont touch cast irons. I've had GG tell me that a few times. They can bend them but are worried about liability because cast breaks more easily than forged. And anyone will only bend cast 2 degrees. I have almost all my sets bent and I'm 3 upright. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

My suggestion is to determine how far you hit your 6 iron and how far you hit your driver...normally, not best shots. Then fill in a club every 10-15 yards. This club you should hit and hit straight normally to the distance you're looking for, regardless of the type or designation. Example. My 6 iron is 160. I have a 6 hybrid for my 170 club, a 7 wood as my 180 club, a ping 3 crossover as my 190 club, a 5 wood as my 200 club, a 3 wood as my 220ish club and my driver is 240. 6h and 3h and D are ping, the rest each is something different. The point being, I can count on the club to go that distance and it goes straight if I put an average swing on it. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Golfshaftreviews does testing on many different shafts. EI profiles, bend profiles, etc. You do have to pay $10 a year to view all the info. It's been very valuable to me when deciding which shafts I want to play and which ones I need to stay away from. They do both made for and top of the line shafts. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Quick question. Are you able to track each shot for distance? I.e. before shot select club, hit track button, hit shot, walk to ball, stop track. And does it save this information? Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

My response is tee shot is highly important. So important that I will hit a 6 or 7 off the tee to be in the fairway for another 6 or 7 into the green, even if I'm short then pitch and run and putt. No penalty shots off the tee is key. I do whatever is necessary to stay out of bunkers, again, even if it means hitting short on tee shot to avoid fairway bunker and playing for bogey. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Every shot except drive and putts and often on tee box to measure distance to hazards and trees. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I'm more on the pro side, a lot of wedges, a few through the bag, and 10-15 with the driver. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I use a hzrdus yellow in a rogue driver I'm playing now and it's working fine. In theory they are good for negative angle of attack which I am. It's quite smooth in this head though not so much in other heads I've tried. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

Tour SNSR Contour Pro Stage Two- Golf Pride Tour SNSR Contour Pro Putter Grip Sorry for the delay. I really thought I’d have some quality time for this evaluation and in my mind, that meant some months though in retrospect, we are talking a golf grip here, not a full line of clubs to evaluate. So, I apologize for any delay in getting this done. I’ve been using this grip now, exclusively, since I received it. I wanted to have significant rounds under my belt to be able to provide data for comparison. However, since receiving this grip, I have gotten a new job which greatly limits the number of rounds a week I play, down to one. There was also some putting practice time in the intervening time getting ready for tournament rounds. So, I do feel like I can make a decision, for myself, about this grip based on what I’ve experienced so far. I was able to get in 7 rounds, three of which were competitive tournament rounds. Average putts per round were 34, more or less the same as my previous grip/putter. Two of the tournament rounds did skew this score a bit higher with this small data set. The greens were slick as glass and very very fast with large undulations. These are the most difficult greens for me to score well on and had 38 putts for each of those rounds. I don’t fault the putter grip for this, but my choice of a heavier putter but I wanted to use this one and for the grip evaluation. I prefer to use a lighter putter on super fast greens, but oh well. Looks ( 9 out of 10 points) I like the gray and yellow of this grip. I like the way it looks on the putter. I’m more of a solid color person though when evaluating my other favorite grips. I like a uniform look and the dual colors, while appealing, are not my favorite. Not perfect for me, but close enough. Will you, the reader like it? <shrug> that’s anyone’s guess based on individual preferences. Feel ( 18 out of 20 points) I love the feel of this grip. It has everything I look for in a grip. It’s soft enough to provide feedback on my strike. I love a pistol grip so this met that requirement. For me, this grip helped position my hands in the exact position I like them to be in for quality putter stroke. The grip is a cushiony feeling for your hands without being too soft. The one thing that detracted from a perfect score for me was that this SNSR grip is just a bit too large for me. I prefer a standard pistol grip and this is a bit larger than standard. While I have no idea why Golf Pride chose this size, I imagine that going to a larger size grip was to be “in vogue” with the current trend of large size putter grips and their popularity. Performance characteristics ( 27 out of 30 points) Since I installed the grip myself, it was installed correctly and the alignment on my putter head was perfect when my hands were on the grip. This is of primary concern to me when using/selecting a putter. The head and alignment feature must be perpendicular to the hole when my hands are on the grip without any special modifications to my hands gripping the grip in order to use the putter. I am mostly a feel putter, and this grip did not let me down. My hands fall into natural position with the SNSR grip. There’s plenty of room for both thumbs on the top of the grip. The flatness of the top is what I’m used to and what I look for when positioning my thumbs correctly. My line is found quickly and easily and I don’t have to anything then to putt the ball. If the read is good, the ball goes in the hole. Interestingly, I had become known among golfing friends as 6” Jeff because I would consistently leave my putts 6” short of the hole. It was quite the joke as you can imagine. I can state that the 6” short has been solved with this grip. I am now, in the rounds used, consistently tap in distance beyond the hole. This is a huge plus over my other preferred putter/grip combination as you can imagine. Durability (10 out of 10 points) I see no reason this grip will not outlast most others. Quality materials and quality manufacture. In my 300+ putts with it, there is no wear apparent anywhere on the putter grip. Miscellaneous (5 out of 10 points) Not much “miscellaneous” about a putter grip. There are no little details like on a club that could be off to discuss. Printing was perfect on the grip and it was perfect, no flaws whatsoever. However, I was a bit put-off from my receipt of it. I received a beat-up, non-descript box, with a putter grip in it. No paperwork, no logos on the box, no identification of who or what sent it, just a putter grip in a box. Picky? Maybe. Play it or Regrip it? ( 18 out of 20 points) I will Play It. I will purchase additional and use them on my alternate putters. I didn’t give it a perfect score because of the size issue. There’s a 90% chance that it will be my go-to-grip going forward. While the size is not perfect for me, the shape is. Additionally, there are very few options in standard size pistol grips that are readily available so knowing what this one is and does will sway me towards trying anything online without being able to see it locally. Final Score (87 out of 100 points) Not much more to say. Not perfect, but a really good putter grip. I would recommend it for those who use pistol grip putter grips and who need a quality grip for feel putting.

Stage 1 Tour SNSR Contour ProFirst, sorry for the delay in posting. A new job has consumed most of my time the last two weeks then I lost the word version and had to redo. Hello All and thanks for reading my review. I’ll be reviewing the Golf Pride Tour SNSR Contour Pro Putter Grip (104cc – 90g) for you. My normal putter grip is a standard size grip, usually known as the Pingman grip. I like smaller grips rather than larger grips. About me I began playing golf 48 years ago…wow that seems like a long time ago…at the age of 13 when I played in my first tournament. I had whacked the ball around the yard at my grandparents house and my grandfather was an avid golfer who always had a couple of sets sitting in the garage. I had played one or two rounds with he and my uncles at a local course before going to this tournament. I used a set of his old clubs and competed for two days against other junior high boys. I won the tournament with a 133 and 117. Yeah, we weren’t very good. However, this gave me the bug and I’ve loved golf every since those days. During these days we lived in Indiana so there wasn’t a lot of year round golf. Through the years, there have been times when I was a very avid golfer, playing many times per week and times when I didn’t have the time to play much due to work and kids. During high school, we moved to Louisiana and I just stayed here in the south. Now, the kids are gone out on their own, money is more plentiful and until very recently, time to play golf was in great supply. Until last week, I’d been unemployed for 17 months and consequently, played at least three times per week. I currently carry an 11 handicap in non-tournament play and a 13 for tournament play. I play frequently in the Golf Channel Amateur Tour out of Houston TX where I have lived for the last 20 years. I’ve been as low as a 3 in the past and am reasonably satisfied where I am now. I’d like to be better but I don’t put in the practice time. I’m a club hoarder like many of you. I currently have five iron sets, 12 drivers and about 40 putters. I generally stay with one set of irons but swap out the other stuff from time to time when one misbehaves and needs to be punished. My game strengths have always been my length (I’m 6’4, 240), but as I’m getting older, my strength now is course management. I can still hit it long enough, but trying for 300 yd drives has gone out the window, so to say. Control is most important in all aspects of my game. I like to think I’m a reasonably good putter. First Impressions I like the more subdued colors of this grip. The black and gray with just a splash of yellow is more pleasing to me that the older red and blue. I chose the 104 because as mentioned above, I like smaller grips. I like the softness of the grip and particularly like the flat front which allows me to get both of my thumbs on the flat portion of the grip. I chose my Ping to use this grip on. It’s been a fairly consistent putter for me though it’s been out of the bag for a few months. I’ve evaluated my putting pre-grip change by going through my last 15 rounds of golf dating back to last October 18 which were also played using a Ping putter (Fetch) with a standard PP grip. These rounds were played on seven different courses. Average score of 88 with several poor high scores of 97,97,91,91,92 and just one “good” score of 80. Average putts per round for these 15 rounds was 34.7 with one horrible outing of 42 putts and the best round of 30 putts. The scores and number of putts do not coincide except the 42 putts did result in a 91 score. A 31 putt round was achieved on a score of 91 and one of the 97 scores had 33 putts. I mention all of this because I intend to track improvement or not of the putting stat with the new grip. While you may be chuckling reading this, improvement would be a key factor for me to actually change to this (or any) putter grip on a permanent basis. Thanks for reading and I look forward to using this new grip and reporting back to you for the stage 2. JDHolmes

Sketchers Gogolf shoes are great. I've used them for the last two years waking +/- 100 rounds. Comfortable, walkable, supportive. I have some back issues relating to previous surgery and changing heel heights in shoes creates pain. Consequently, I need golf shoes that are very similar to my daily shoes. Sketchers are the only ones that work for me and I've tried every brand. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

I ponied up and ping g400 lst and wilson c300 were recommended. And, in the nature of using the tool as it was recommended, as an "off the shelf tool, I did the following. I went to PGASS and hit both. The c300 was pitiful. I knew it would be as I hit it previously and didn't like it. Though 10 degree stiff was recommended for me I hit multiple configurations. NADA. then the helpful sales lady helped me with the ping lst. Hit the 10, the 8.5 in stock stiff, xtorsion stiff, stock regular. I hit and logged 36 drives with the ping lst. LONGEST drive was 237, average about 218. As reference, in 367 drives that I've tracked on my ping G 9 degree, my driving average is 241. I use project x LZ 5.5. Then, to test other ping configurations, I went to GG and tracked another 60 drives using lst, max and again, none were to my average. Sent from my SM-G950U using MyGolfSpy mobile app
