  1. First item is a TSi3 9* driver head in excellent condition. $310 shipped 2nd item is a TS2 16.5 with a ventus black 7x, midsize tour velvet cord grip, measures 42.75” long and shaft has been tipped 1.5”. Club head has a few marks by the topline $295 shipped both items include original head cover
  2. Looking to buy a vokey 56 degree wedge. Looking for black finish and F, D, or S grind. Also preferably 1/2” long or head only.
  3. Ya eBay fees are killer, I try not to sell too much golf stuff on there, especially items I feel that can sell on the forums.
  4. Price drop... Any takers at $125 shipped?
  5. Great price for an awesome putter. I really like my Black Friday 7.0!
  6. Looking for a set of dynamic gold x100 shafts in 3-9/PW that played 1/4” or longer. Grips are not important
  7. The 105 and the 120 are different profile shafts. If you feel your swing has changed then maybe go and get fitted again. If you are looking for a heavier shaft the Nippon 125 is the same profile as the 105, just heavier.
  8. Quick update on the bag. I think I’m going to stick with the black ventus in my TSi3 driver, but I finally got around to throwing a titleist adapter on the speeder 661, so I should be able to test that out soon. The ventus is just an awesome shaft so I don’t see it being kicked out of the bag. The real update, I got my hands on a ventus 7x to try in my 3w and so far it’s a keeper. Didn’t think I would get rid of the Motore speeder shaft I had in my TS2 16.5 but the ventus gives me much better feel and control of what the club is doing. And it also seems to produce less spin, the Motore would balloon easily on thinner strikes. I also have added a TS2 7w with ventus Red 9x. I’ve been wanting to try the 7 wood craze and I have heard awesome things about this shaft in a 7 wood. Come spring time we will see if it stays in the bag!
  9. Just one item up for grabs today. M5 15 degree 3 wood head only. Pictures speak for the condition. Head cover included. $old shipped in the conus.
  10. All items include shipping to the east coast, west of the Mississippi add $5. First item is a Fujikura Speeder 661 evo 2.0 tour spec X flex. It played 45” in a callaway head. It has a callaway adapter tip and a golf pride tour velvet cord in excellent condition, built up +4 wraps. Awesome shaft, used by Dustin Johnson, I have two of them so decided to sell one of them. Price is $125 2nd item is a Fujikura Motore Speeder VC 7.2 X flex with a titleist adapter and measures 42.5” in a fairway wood. It also has a golf pride tour velvet BCT grip built up +4 wraps in good condition. Price is $80
  11. Had my 2nd lesson last week. We started off by using K-motion, a device that captures 3D data of your swing using sensors on your body. There were 4 sensors, 1 attached to my glove, my left arm just below my bicep, a waste sensor just below the belt line, and a upper body sensor that would be located on your upper back. After collecting baseline measurements we started using the K motion to get myself in a slightly different position at address and impact position. With live data displayed on a screen that was close to where my club face was, I was able to do repetitions of getting myself in the correct angles etc. with confirmation from the screen. After getting those feelings down we then worked on translating the feeling of that impact position into the swing. In my swing I’m leaned over to long through impact. And at address I tend to have a tad to much knee bend along with be slightly hunched over with the back, and not enough bend in my hips. Getting myself in the correct position at address was so helpful with getting my body in a better impact position. I would not only be rotating my upper body better but this also helped with my lower body and legs delivering power to my swing. The force plate would show that through impact my legs would deliver power in multiple spikes, which is not ideal, but with these changes we were seeing less spikes and more of a singular spike showing the power is being delivered in one continuous motion. Still a few months away from the start of the season so I will be able to get some more lessons in without worrying of seeing results, but I’m very happy with the progress and direction we are going. So far I’m seeing a gain in distance, hitting my 6i just over 190yds carry. Lots of work to go to get this engrained so my distance control and iron play continue to be a strength in my game. But I love how this is actually simplifying my swing motion and should make it more repeatable.
  12. Something that I thought about, but I think the nice feature of the puttdots is the applicator which allows easy alignment to assure they are properly placed equal distance from the center. Can the same thing be achieved for 1/3 the price? Yes, but you could say the same for many things that one could source the parts for themselves. I think one would have to decide that the convenience of having the applicator to easily apply the dots is worth it or not. And if you save the applicator one could then use it to apply these dots you mentioned.
  13. Came across this putting training aid and it reminded me of a Dave Pelz training aid I use to have. What intrigued me most about this aid is that you are still making contact with actual putter face when using the puttdots. So I went ahead and placed an order through their website. The puttdots was $14.99 shipped to my door, and I had them in just a few days! My first impression is that this is a great training aid for someone who likes to putt inside on a mat in the off-season. It will give you great feedback to wether you are making contact in the center of the face while you work on your stroke. These will also come in handy if you are doing other putting drills and you want additional feedback on strike location. Using the puttdots was so simple. After removing the backing from the adhesive strip, the applicator, which is all the same material as the dots, has marking to align the strip on your putter face. Once aligned, you press down on the dots and then remove the applicator from the face. I placed my dots slightly higher than the center of the face of my putter, and in the video you can see when I putt the dots are then level with the center of the ball. The puttdots have two downsides IMO. First the distance between the two dots is static. The old Dave Pelz putting aid I had had different width brackets to increase or decrease the difficulty of making contact without the ball being pushed off line. The other con of this aid is that the dots use a 3M adhesive back. I haven’t tried to remove and restock them but I have a feeling they are for the most part 1 time use. The nice thing is that the package comes with 4 sets of dots. This is also why I think it’s a great winter/offseason aid is that you can use it with your gamer and not have to worry about removing in a few days to go play. Overall I’d give this putting aid a 9 out of 10. Aside from the two cons I listed this is still an awesome training aid for anyone at a great price. The feedback it provides is useful wether you just like to putt indoors for fun or you are more serious and working on technique and your stroke. edit: one other con of the design is that if you hit the ball very low on the face. The distance between the dots is further. But I feel if you are hitting it that thin you should be focused on the basics of putting.
  14. Not exactly answering your question but out the balls you mentioned in that price range I would just pick one and stick with it. Sometimes I play with my father and some of his friends and I always notice they are switching balls to whatever is in the bag, because they got them on a deal or someone gave them to them. Playing one ball is key to knowing how it will play and the yardages you will hit it. Also, best performing ball is subjective, and at this price range their will be some balls that are very distance oriented, which may appeal to some. Pro V1's and Tour B's are not just beneficial to tour pros, but will really be the best ball for all golfers as they provide the best feel, spin, and consistent distance. If price is the only thing keeping you from playing a premium ball, look for sales or check the forums or ebay and you can score a good deal on them. I played B-Stone tour B XS all last year, the 2019 ball, for $30 a dozen.
  15. Too many pairs to count but they are all FootJoy aside from 1 pair. I have a pair of dryjoys I use for rainy days. I have 1 pair of Justin Boots golf shoes in genuine black alligator that I rarely ever wear. And then the rest of my shoes are FJ classics and 1857's. A couple pair of all whites, white w/ brown saddle, white w/ red saddle, a couple black w/ brown saddle, brown w/ tan saddle, and all black.
  16. Didn’t realize one could go play golf during a Covid quarantine 14 day period. I guess I should try to contract the virus and go on vacation to Florida to get some winter golf in!
  17. on my vokeys I had f grind on my 52 and 56. I use the clubs for shots that I keep my face square, and I'm rather steep so I need the bounce. I had a low bounce lob wedge k grind, but I took it out of the bag as it didn't have enough bounce for the conditions I play in most often. Thinking of maybe trying the 60.12 D grind for a lob wedge if I stick with the vokeys, but for now I have ordered ping glide 3.0 with there SS grind to put in the bag and try out this spring.
  18. I worked a bit on my putting yesterday indoors using a metal ruler to roll the ball on. It's a great tool/drill to do for feedback on whether you are striking the ball square and starting it online. I was using my perfect practice matt along with it. The reason I use the ruler is that there is no room for error if you push or pull the putt. You will recognize the direction right away. I will try to get some video of it today.
