  1. Thanks for chiming in 2 months later with all those strong feelings. maybe read the thread next time and you wont have to be so upset at what someone pretty new asked. Good luck with your future endeavors.
  2. Once this learns your distances and such, does it give you club recommendations? like caddy mode or something of the sort? I just pre-ordered one, wont get here until October, haven't done as much research as i probably should have, but i have doubts ill regret it.
  3. I've been searching for a ball I can see in the air after a drive- Since i play alone so often- but to no avail, the best for my eyes so far has been the neon yellow from Snell, but it seems if its overcast I lose those in the air quicker than white balls. Balls I've tried: Novik Orange(got wise), Vice Pro Red, Snell MTB Yellow, Titleist AVX yellow. None of them are great for finding, I hear Blue is a nightmare, and fluorescent green isn't much better. If someone ever finds the perfect color, lemme know!
  4. I went to https://www.golfsub70.com/ did the online fitting, looked at my divots and they coincided. I took it one step further and got a lesson, then asked the pro if he had any clubs with a +2 lie, hit it a few times and had a perfectly even divot. I hope this helps if you are still trying to figure something out.
  5. I haven't actually paid for GHIN yet since Im not interested in competing, I am just in it for the love of the game, and want to get as good as I can. I keep track of my "handicap" through the Golfshot app
  6. TBF I did buy the black irons before satin was available, I still think I would have bought the black Congrats on your purchase, you are going to love them!
  7. Thanks for your input! this is how I felt, but was not sure since I just started in June last year, (at least trying to learn how to get better/rules and such) and my buddy who is as experienced as I am (not much) was so excited by it.
  8. 3 Birdies, I had 4 INSANELY lucky shots. I.E. topped a hybrid, but the hole was way downhill of me, so i got almost full distance, flubbed a chip really bad that hit a sprinkler head that came up less than a foot from the hole. the whole 9 was the equivalent to a slop shot in billiards. skulled a 60 yard pitch that bounced off a rock and rolled up close enough for me to 2-putt. it was insane. I am definitely aware of the fluke which is that 9 hole round lol normally the lucky shots I got would have added 1-2 strokes per those holes.
  9. So I made even par for the first time in my life the day before yesterday, on a 9 hole course here locally. I played said course again yesterday, didn't score as well, but if I add the two scores together I broke 80 for the first time, do you guys consider this my new PR? or does it only count if I play all 18 at once? I personally hadn't even thought of it until my buddy pointed it out. I'm not sure what to think, or if there is a rule on this, so I figured I would come to you more experienced folks for some opinions, or obscure rules knowledge.
  10. I'm 36, I wont walk without a pushcart. Tell your buddy to go pound sand.
  11. I live in southern Utah(Desert all around) so the black finish is getting beat up rather rapidly, because of the large amount of sand in the soil. I would buy them again though, they are gorgeous in person. I’d imagine if you lived somewhere without so much sand in the soil, they would hold up much better.
  12. M2 Driver 9.5 Stiff, all stock, used RBZ 15 degree 3 wood, cobra F6 20 degree hybrid Sub70 699 Pro 4-9 iron standard length, Dynamic Gold S300 shafts with +2 lie. MC +4 align grips Sub70 48 degree wedge KBS Tour Stiff shaft. Bombtech 52/56/60 black wedge set standard grips and shaft. Evnroll Tour Stroke putter with Gravity Grip Gaming Snell MTB balls. Any questions? Hit me up!
  13. Honestly, I liked them until i got the Sub 70 wedge in my hands (KBS Tour 120 S) It is so amazing it makes these other wedges feel dumb. I must also add in, Ive never used a "new" wedge besides the Sub 70 and the Bombtech. 80 Yards and in, I like the Bombtech set, I just don't like having to take full swings with them. Will be upgrading all my wedges to Sub 70 in November. (limited edition wedges coming out)
  14. O.K. you guys got me, I knee jerk purchased the 52/56/60 degree wedges off of Instagram I watched, I think GM-Golf do a review on the wedges and he liked them? so I went ahead, I also upgraded from a 1000 year old set of wedges, so they have been great for me, I loved them....... Until I recently bought a 48 Degree wedge from Sub70 golf and OMFG I do feel like i got subpar wedges from Bombtech(no pun intended... Maybe?) This all being said, when I bought the Bombtech wedges I could not tell the difference between them and a name brand, now that I'm a little better and my swing speed is so much higher than when i bought them, I feel like the shafts are not quite stiff enough to be called stiff IMHO, and the spin numbers have to be pretty low as well, reason I say this, I don't draw a single club in my bag, except these wedges, they draw every time from full swings, I am GUESSING this is from the shafts being not quite as stiff as I like? and a drawing ball is a less spinning ball IIRC. FYI Rick Shiels did a Youtube Review of the Driver (fist gen IIRC) and he liked it, and said nice things.
  15. @GolfSpy MPR Thanks! Did you put a gravity grip on it? and what are you gaming? I'm thinking after I get my putting skills up I'd like something with a more natural profile myself, I def will be getting an EvnRoll when i do, that is for sure.
  16. Played a little as a junior(in Alaska, maybe 12 times total), and a few times for work and such, but picked it up as a hobby in August 2019. I score anywhere from +14-+22 My app says 18.5, but I'm not sure that is super accurate or if it counts. I love the peace, the being outside, and the escape golf brings. I first noticed you guys when I was searching for a less expensive alternate to PROV1's and found your "find it cut it" information. No, but I have been telling everyone that lends and ear to check you guys out(mainly defending my choices on clubs/balls - snell, Sub70), in fact, I have done it so much I figured I should join and be a part of the forums at least. St.George Utah. I don't really have a home course, I play all 4 municipal courses here regularly. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? You can play comfortably year round, you can find pretty flat courses to walk if you are so inclined. The worst part is middle of the day summers (up to 114 F) and the sandy soil eats up black clubs. NERC Certified Transmission Operator Cause it sounded the funniest, I thought Net Par, Net Bogey, Net Birdie, But Net Double made me chortle when i thought of it, so i threw it in!
  17. As a newer golfer, and not totally into the data and numbers like most people are, I DO have an opinion about this putter. I bought a Tour Stroke putter, and had the black/grey Gravity grip installed on it as well. A titch of info before my opinion, I decided to work backwards on my game, maybe I'm wrong on this, but it is what i decided none-the-less I worked on Driver until most of my drives were playable, then I worked on Irons to make sure I could get to green in almost regulation regularly, now I'm working on wedges(there is A LOT here surprisingly) I have not even looked at practicing putting yet, and my thought process was/is Putting is the fastest way to drop strokes from your rounds (wedges are a big deal and go hand in hand IMO) So that is my background, no putter practice. I bought the tour stroke putter and immediately became a better putter, not sure if it is placebo or not, but the 20,000 MOI mixed with the Gravity grip helps me keep puts on line longer, my "gimmie" range (I dont give myself gimmies) increased a foot after one round of using it (distances got sketchy for about 6-8 putts I was using a putter with an insert before purchasing this, so I assume its a feel thing). My Lower handicap friends have all started complimenting how much better my putting stoke is now after using it for 3 months, and I assume its because of the shorter back swing and longer follow through this almost forces you to make. All in all for a newer golfer that doesn't practice putting it has helped me not rattle my knees so much at 2-3 feet.
