Good luck with that, I'm playing the deer park scramble tomorrow. I played in the county championships last month, that is a fun event if you haven't done it. The city championship is also fun.
I'm golfing most weeks, let me know if you want to coordinate a round.

Just picked up the air attachment and the yellow neon grips! I was looking to regrip this year as I regripped my clubs this spring with GP Velvet and they're already slick and lost most of their tack! Was planning on going with the Lamkin Crossline but this deal was too good. Hoping these will last, sad that their going out of business sale is what turned me to try them.
The neon yellow does stand out.

The golf pride CP (blue or red cap ) are close for the tack feel.
Yes, but GP has a better business model and their grips wear out every 30 rounds of golf.

Pure was originally a spinoff from Star Grips. The folks who left Star for Pure were unhappy about Star's inattention to cosmetics and marketing -- but NOT the formulation of the grips. Star is still in business and still my favorite. Try them. If you liked the feel, handling, and longevity of Pure, you should like Star.
That is good to know. I'll keep that in mind in 6 years when i need my next regrip done!

I picked up a set of these when I got the notification. I am curious if anyone had played Iomic and these. How comparable are they? Looking for a tacky grip that I can use without a glove. It's alright most of the time but the golf pride mcc+4 I will occasionally lose grip on when overly hot/humid
I switched from iomic to these. I find them to have more grip, more tack and last longer.

Never tried these grips but 50% off is hard to pass up. Can someone explain the difference in the DTX vs the Pure Pro grips? And it is hard to tell from their site but are the putter grips round or do they have a flat front?
Thanks in advance.
Pure pro are a tackler, more aggressive version of a golf pride tour velvet . I love thenlm. Dtx have a different texture, I think that's what @Kenny Bplays.

One bad thing anout making such a durable and long lasting grip is that they don't get the reorders other brands do. Id go through 3 New Decades before wearing 1 of these out.
Glad i just got an order in

As follow up, I asked this question:
and received this response:
I'll add, that looking at the top lines, they meet that target. Behind the ball there isn't anything there to tell me that I've got a zx5 mkii or a zx7 mkii in hand. To top line and blade length are basically the same. Which makes the ZX5 MKII look smaller than others in its category, and the ZX7 MKII look slightly larger in its category.
On the bottom, the ZX5 MKII's have a noticeably larger sole.

Here is the response from Dunlop Sports. Pretty cool how quickly they responded
.
Yeah, that is a pretty solid response.

@fixyurdivot you aren't wrong, i just looked and there isn't the obvious tungsten on the toe.
But they are still great.

When Srixon put the prior gen ZX7s on sale, I ordered the 6-PW. It is unbelievable how good these irons are. I did have them all bent 1 degree strong and do not have any gaps between my 5-6 irons. My distant control has never been better on my approach shots and they feel so pure.
This, so this with the ZX7s. They are so good.

It’s been since the first for me.
The shop told me 2-3 weeks, so i was very surprised/ excited when they got here in less than 1.

Did anyone pick the versa jailbird? Errrr.. the EV5.3?

I recently went Srixon/Cleveland with a ZX5/7 combo set and Zipcore Wedges. My thoughts are here:
But I'm fully on this train.

I am going to do a putter fitting this afternoon at the PGA Tour Superstore. Anything I should make sure to ask or do during the fitting?
Id make sure to try putters of different lengths and different toe hang/face balance.
If you are quickly guided to a 34' slight toe hang putter, it's still good to try a 33' with lots of hang, etc. If nothing else to confirm that what you are getting fit into really is the best option.
Also, price doesn't correlate to performance.

Best Courses on a Golf Simulator
in General Q&A
Posted
I'm not sure about "best" there are a hungry i enjoy. But most of the links style Scottish courses are the worst. The idea of St Andrews is fun until you are inside your first pot bunker. 13 flop shot attempts off a hitting mat later and you have quit the round.
