  1. It's to cold (under 70) or raining or might rain, the wind is blowing at least 1 mile per hour, or just lazy.
  2. Best: Tour Edge Comp Irons - only hole in one with 4 iron 170 over water Sub70 699 Pro - only eagle hole out from 90 yards Louisville True Center Putter (Persimmon insert) Cypress Point Headcover - it was Cypress Point after all Orlimar 4 wood - I mean real wood Worst: - They no longer are allowed in my memory bank.
  3. Use the battery powered Hillbilly Scout, when I walk - still dependent on hills on course. Also some courses I walk in fall through spring become unwalkable in summer - way to hot. You can only get the sense of the subtle up/down hills from walking.
  4. Until I loose it. Since the courses I play the most - have water that must be carried on at least 3 holes, I often happy to get by with 2 balls in a round. Some of the more difficult courses I play do not have water that is in play so I may be able to get through with one ball. Generally my drives are in play - just not long, so I don't worry about running out of fairway.
  5. A matte version of a ball in the test. I don't care which as long is it the same ball.
  6. Has anyone tried the JDM Titleist Ball - VG3. Being sold at the local Roger Dunn for $2 a ball, on the USGA Conforming list. It appears to fit in the Titleist ball family below the premium balls. In bright light the white balls have a mother pearl appearance. Also in Matte Colors. Could not determine what kind of cover, but a 3-Piece ball.
  7. I have a Black Vice Pro Plus; given to me because I have also played the Pro Plus Gold. Gold's are hard to find - I play the Gold on Par 3's I'm likely to reach. Makes for interesting conversations on the tee when playing with folks I have not played with before. Ping Ballnamic fit me into Pro Plus. like the red yellow shade and green balls otherwise.
  8. Ping G400, 54 Glide 2, Sigma2 Arna @36 inches PXG 5 wood (newest club) Callaway Heaven Wood ,4&5 Rogue Hybrids, Sub70 699 Pros Black 6-AW Edison 59 bent to 58 Putter can also be Seemore, Nike, Louisville Golf or Odyssey. Ball Voice ProPlus or Titleist Pro V1x,
  9. 6'2" 36" have tried different lengths but always migrate back to 36" was fitted by Club Champion that confirmed the 36" length. Current in bag is a Ping Sigma Arna - with adjustable shaft. Hard to find 36" putters to try in stores.
  10. It depends on the format and tees. I tend to play better in 4-ball, something about not wanting to let a partner down. At my home course this year I have been playing a weekly game from a tee forward - which is more in keeping with my distance; however it took me most of the year to adjust to different play lines to avoid hazards that are not reachable from further back.
  11. Yes, we old guys need to get over it. Recently a few courses in my area have recolored the tees; so what were the white tees, now are the blue tees - it seems to work on a lot of people. This is the opposite of 25 years ago when blue tees were recolored to white tees. Moving to forward tees does create a new set of problems, like bunkers and hazards that were not in play before coming into play. Shorter may not be easier until you learn the lines.
  12. While equipment bifurcation is somewhat a change; but rules of competition and local rules affecting highly skilled players already provided some level of bifurcation. As far as I have observed no local championships are testing equipment of going through bags to insure compliance with conforming lists. While the distance debate makes no sense in terms of most golfers; perhaps the regulating bodies should require longer fairways to reduce roll and cutting greens only every third day; and remove rakes from bunkers for highly skilled players.

    Ballnamic

    I tried Ballnamic, reminded of the Golfball Selector, which did something similar. I thought I set price at mid-point so results are a little off; In order of ranking, Bridgestone Tour BX, Vice Pro-Plus (my current ball), Callaway Chrome Soft X; Bridgestone Tour XS, and Maxfli Tour X (my backup ball) I have tried all balls. Price points make Vise and Maxfli better choices. Vise also has the coolest colors. The cool colors enhance the smack talking on the tee.
  14. Edison 59 degree bent to 58 for all shots around green, except when there is no grass; then it is what club seems right.

    Sub70 golf

    Not sure if you can blame it on the clubs, holed out A wedge from 100 yards for my first eagle and hit PW to 3 feet from 115 for kick in birdie. Played the 3 par 5 is 3 under a first for me. Siub70 699 Pro's in black. I had stopped playing my Ping G400 6 iron and replaced it with a Mavrik 6 hybrid, now hitting the 699 Pro 6 iron more consistently and longer.
  16. I have played a 59 bent to 58, the heads are somewhat compact especially when compared to the equivalent ping G-400 wedge. Takes a while to learn to use the sole. My current wedge set up is the stock sub70 PW & AW, Ping Glide 2.0 54 and the Edison. Only 5 rounds on the sub70's. 100+ rounds with the other wedges. Full 54 80 yards and 58 70.

    Sub70 golf

    Just added the Sub70 669 Pro black, 6-A. haven't played a 6 iron for a while, hitting a Mavrik 6 hybrid. The Sub70 6 iron is as long and more reliable at this sitting. Replaced Ping G400's; still playing Ping Glide 2 54degree and Edison 59 bent to 58 wedges. Handicap ranges from 15 - 18 depending on putting.
  18. It always seems to vary - mostly depending on the putter in the bag. But with the purchase of Sub70 Irons, Ping, Callaway, Edison, SeeMore, balls Maxfli, Titleist, Bridgestone
  19. Has there been any tests of the See More Putters.
  20. Has any one tried Edison Wedges, they claim a shifting of weight to higher on face for more consistent strikes.
  21. Club fitting if it hasn't been done in a while. Lessons that address a specific weakness.
  22. I cannot enter even following instructions, Grint support not responsive.
