What Have You Bought Lately? (CHA - Club Ho's Anonymous)

I bought some cheap ones from Amazon. I was on the line between sizes and bought the larger size, which was a mistake. They don't like to stay up. (My wife jokes that I should just workout my arms more, but...).

I have been looking for a long-sleeve UV shirt, but haven't pulled the trigger on any yet.

Despite the sizing issue, I still wear them when I'm outside gardening or mowing the lawn, but I gave up on them for golf really quick. They do seem to help prevent burn and also wick away sweat so you stay cooler.

Doing research prior to purchase, sizing was one of the areas I had trouble finding definitive info. Nike offers these in XS/S, S/M, M/L and L/XL. I went with S/M and wouldn’t want them to be any longer, but the bicep cuff feels a little snug. A couple reasons I spent a few extra bucks on Nike sleeves: I trust their UVA/UVB material claims and the bicep cuff has some no slip tech to help keep it in place.

I have a twilight tee time tonight and I’ll update with some impressions after taking them for a spin.

Do you happen to have the sizing chart for the Nike sleeves? I haven't been able to find it online.

Yessir - although I didn't find it to be particularly helpful.

That one looks like it is for elbows.

I have been looking at other sizing charts and based on my arm size, I fit into like a XL or XXL. But the length would be way too long.

I agree but it is the only sizing chart that is directly linked to their Solar Sleeve product line.

Thanks, what size are your arms approximately?

I'm so close to pulling the trigger on one of these as well. Need to clear out some old stuff first, I think.

Hang on before you buy one. Not sure if they're sold out but if I end up not hanging on to mine I can save you the wait, and I won't charge you out the butt like these guys were doing online

Hahaha, I actually had this exact thought this morning when I saw you were thinking about selling it.

I’m trying my best to compress golf balls 7 days a week but the Sun absolutely roasts folks up here at mile high altitude. So I just added a couple pairs of Nike Solar Sleeves to the wardrobe that will hopefully help limit some of my UV exposure. They just arrived yesterday evening and I’m already wishing these didn’t have a seam running from wrist to bicep.

Have anyone else tried UV sleeves? What are some brands you like? What are the features you prefer?

Wear the UV sleeves every round. Prefer the Nike in white but ordered some off Amazon in different colors that work well. They are good at keeping the sun off and staying cool when it is hot, been wearing them for years.

After hearing about the Spider putters for years and seeing how popular they've become, I decided to try one out. My buddy has the copper Spider X and after using his I was sold. Then I went to make sure at the PGA Superstore and couldn't miss so I ordered a navy blue Spider X single bend. It was supposed to be here yesterday but USPS is pretty overwhelmed and the delivery date is now listed as unknown. 

Also bought my dad a completely refinished set of original Ping Zing irons. He always talked about how much he loved them back in the day and they were stolen outside of the pro shop. I just hope they aren't too pretty for him to hit! They are also lost in transit somewhere...

Nice! Post some pics once it’s in. I’ve been reading a bit about them lately.

Got the Nemesys today and she sure is pretty! I really like the subtle faces in the black part of the shaft. Super cool look.

I took some pics then went straight downstairs to the golf room to install the pxg adapter for my Gen2. I'm hoping to get in a few rounds this weekend for my t200 review so this should get some play.

That looks great. Should go awesome with the PXG head.

Grip ho-ing. Newly launched Iomic Sticky Evolution Black Armor 2 1.8 grips (about the smallest size men's grip you can buy). Installed on one club so far with two lower hand wraps.

Just ordered a Ventus Blue 6X Velocore shaft to go into my Mavrik Sub Zero.  Should be a great combination.  Ordered from Peoples Golf and it was a great experience.  Asked a few questions via email before ordering and got two responses with all questions answered in less than 10 minutes.   Will update as it comes.  Hopefully it's here before my round on Wednesday, but unlikely.

After one long range session and 9 holes, I’m a believer in these UV sleeves. The bicep cuff I initially thought was a tad snug is probably just right because it’s not at all uncomfortable and I would not enjoy having to constantly tug these things back up to my armpits. The most surprising thing is that the sleeves actually feel cooler than bare skin. I highly recommend this product.

Saw a review on these so I thought I’d give them a try. We’re already in the mid 90s with heat indices over 100*, so I’m going to see if the additional cool feeling from the breeze through these helps.

Just ordered this because well... #COBRACONNECT challenge 2020

Apparently I have two boxes sitting in my office at the course, awaiting my return from a couple weeks away.  Fortunately I had someone keeping the scavengers at bay.  

Looking forward to some unboxing and course time with them next week.

Been wanting to game some one length irons so I pulled the trigger on the F9 one lengths. Gamed them today without having ever hit them. Helped me get a couple birdies but overall a tough round.

Big change from the launchers? How’d you like the “short” irons in the one length?
