I recently added a Taylormade 52 degree Milled Grind Chrome Wedge to my bag as a replacement for a Tommy Armour wedge that was relatively unplayable for me. I LOVE this club and can't fathom replacing it anytime soon. To be honest, I bought it from DSG because it was on sale and the price was right and they had it in stock, but I am so glad that I did. I make great contact with the ball and it feels just right in my hands. Quality-wise, I am really happy with the overall build and presentation, and would definitely consider purchasing other Taylormade clubs in the future. My son has been playing all Taylormade M2 clubs for years and feels the same way, so when I (hopefully) get better and warrant an upgrade to my irons, I'll definitely give this brand a good look/see.

I have been a fan of Cobra Golf for quite a while. I love the logo, I love that they try to stay ahead of the curve - e.g. their 3D printed clubs, and their phone support is amazing! I currently use their ultra lightweight driver and fairway woods - the Air-X Offset - and they look, feel and play well for me at my age and current swing limitations. I also own a set of the older Cobra King Ltd driver/fairway woods that I unfortunately have never been good enough to actually play but have always wanted to. Cobra, for me, is a strong brand that just doesn't get their due respect against the "bigger brands" like Taylormade, Titleist, Ping, Callaway, but they make a good, quality product that deserves a second (or third) look when you are shopping for new clubs. One of their challenges, I feel, is that they don't get enough shelf space in the big box sporting goods stores, which doesn't help their cause!

Greetings All . . . It's been quite a while since I've been able to participate on this forum, as life has gotten in the way. However, I wanted to revisit a subject I broached quite a while ago, which is a less expensive alternative to the Titleist ProV1. I've tried many golf balls - as I am sure many of you have - and I find playing the Yellow ProV1's to be my best performing golf balls. My conundrum is that while my game is vastly improving due to taking lessons with a local pro, one of the course I frequent is still problematic for me, with very narrow tee boxes, and I am shanking these very expensive balls into the dep woods and saying goodbye to my hard earned money. I have been buying the Maxfli Tours on sale, which comes to about $28.00/dozen, but I am not getting the same response/distance on those that I get on my ProV's. Was wondering if any of you fine folks had suggestions for gem alternative golf balls that you have found that are really ProV1's hiding in another branded skin? I see a lot of advertisements that I don't trust . . . but I do trust you folks for sharing honest opinions. I doubt there are any silver bullets, but one never knows until one asks. For further clarification, I am 62yo, my big drives with my ProV's this past weekend were 200 and 215 yds (REALLY BIG for me, avg. has been about 165 - 185). Thanks in advance for any feedback you can provide. Cheers . . . Marty!

Looking for recommendations on best ball for distance. I've seen online the Bridgestone e9, the Titleist Velocity, the Taylormade Distance+, etc., all at a reasonable pricepoint (sub $30/dozen), but was wondering if there were other senior golfers here who have been looking for that same thing - more distance for their slower swing - and have found a ball that helps them to accomplish just that? I've read lots of reviews, but nothing beats actual referrals from actual amateur customers. Thanks in advance . . .

Thanks!!! Going to celebrate by hitting the Driving Range later today . . .

Thanks very much! I'll look into that.

PXG Fitter over the phone recommended the Riptide CB 50 5.5 in Regular Flex. Is the "A" flex drastically different?

Good advice, thanks. And I have been taking lessons on and off for the last two years, which has actually given me a game!

The other serious driver is my Cobra Ltd, which feels very heavy for me. I can't really get anything out of that club as far as distance or control. My average distance on a drive with my Krank is between 150 and 175 yards, around 200 on a really good day (I hit one for 250 yds down the fairway this past Summer, should have retired at that point LOL!) I believe the f11XX is at 10.5 degrees. Generally my ball flight is mid height and generally pretty straight.

Thanks, gb . . . I spoke with one of their fitters yesterday, and he recommended a lighter regular flex shaft to give me some more swing speed.

Greetings All . . . I am a 61yo beginner golfer, currently using a Krank F11XX driver. I saw the reviews on the PXG 2021 0211 DRIVER and the recent price drop ($119!!!) and was wondering from those who have played this club on your thoughts about this club for me? I have really expensive drivers that sit in my spare bag because I am not a good enough golfer with a fast enough swing speed, but with my avg. 175 yd drives, do you think this club will be a good investment? Thanks in advance for your personal experiences . . .

I love my Ecco's . . . they are super comfy and are waterproof so bonus! I, too, wear a very wide shoe, but I was able to size up and they fit perfectly for me. Worth a look.
