You’re going to like those a lot. I’ve been using them for years.

The only issue you might have is every so often you’ll notice a small variation in the fit. For example the fingers might be a tad too long, or the fit a little loose or tight.

It doesn’t happen often but it happens enough that I’ve noticed it. I’m not sure if this happens with other glove manufacturers, since I never played with a glove until I started buying these.

 

oh, one other thing. This might be grip related rather than the fault of the glove, but I always need to wrap a strip of medical tape around my thumb, otherwise the seam splits the skin on the side of it. (sort of like a paper cut)

thanks for the heads up!

those sound like issues i can definitely deal with in a $7 glove. 

the fit is definitely a little funky as someone else mentioned, with the large skewing a little more towards XL

that’s fine for me though. i’ve got bear paw hands with really big palms. i can only halfway close most large gloves. these are a tight but comfortable fit.

That’s actually a good fit for these. You’ll be surprised how fast they stretch to a perfect fit.

one or two holes and they’ll fit like a glove. (sorry I couldn’t resist that one...)

Just bought 3 Cleveland Zipcore wedges. Tour satin finish, 50/54/58 all in mid bounce. Custom shafts, Project X LZ 5.5 to match my irons. Hopefully they don’t try to add an up charge for the shafts. 
managed to sell a few benched clubs, still a few more to sell so I probably won’t get in too much trouble for buying them.

You need to take lessons from @sirchunksalot and prime the pump first.  He's got his wife telling him he should buy something for himself !  Never knew a stand mixer could engender such good will from SWMBO.

Snagged a 9° Speedzone with a 70g HZRDUS Smoke Green shaft. Excited to get this puppy out in the spring!

Enjoy the green! Have really enjoyed that shaft, super stable. Also the cobra is pretty awesome, best feeling driver IMO last year

Thanks, I definitely will! I got fit to this build about a month ago and really enjoyed the stability as well. I felt like I could let loose more with my swing without needing to worry about losing a quality strike. And it actually wasn't as "boardy" as I was anticipating, which was a pleasant surprise.

Only thing I have found is it’s boardy when it’s one of those “driver struggle days”. Typically when I don’t have that torque on my transition but overall the “let loose” is what I have found as well, which probably describes my swing to a T. Is it the 6.5?

My SASSY new golf shoes!

Nice. One thing I learned years ago is to always compliment a lady on her shoes, and you’ve got a nice sense of style, so it’s easy to do with you.

From the pictures you’ve shown, and the stories you’ve told, that’s a fun group of women you play with.

I don’t have much use for it in SoCal, but it is a nice hat.

I guess reading @PMookie's thread on his sledgehammer got to me. I just ordered a Project X Hzrdus Black 6.0 shaft for my driver from Callaway Preowned. I got "fit" for a Project X Evenflow Green initially when doing the Epic Flash review and I just don't feel I'm getting along with such a light shaft. The reason I say "fit" is it's the only shaft they tried with me since my previous shaft was a Matrix Ozik from a TaylorMade Burner Superfast 2.0 that I bought off Global Golf. 

It's not a premium shaft, but for the price I thought I'd try something different. I'm excited to see how it works.

I’ve lived here over 35 years and I may have worn a wool hat like that three times. Unless I was going to Big Bear to ski!

@chisagbeing the effective salesman that he is, convinced me...I finally picked up a TaylorMade SIM DHY, 22 degree.

I had some GG gift cards and this was doing well enough in the bay for me that I picked it up to tinker with.  We'll see.

I'm constantly tinkering with that part of the bag.  Case in point...

From left to right, the new DHY, a JPX 919 Forged 4 iron, an MP-20 HMB 3 iron with a Recoil shaft, a TS3 4h, and a TS3 3h.  All will see some play this year in some combination I'm afraid...I seem to be perpetually searching for the right mix of playability, forgiveness, and anti-hook bias.

 

... I wish I made a commission!  Like you I went through a plethora of Hybrids, DI's and Hybrid-DI's trying to find the right mix until I found the DHY. Two of my eagles came from hitting the DHY short of the green for an easy pitch/chip and both times it carried farther and rolled more than I anticipated. It has been  off the tee as well and saved me after some poor tee shots. I hope you have the same kind of success with yours.

  Best of luck with that shaft. I play that same shaft in my woods and it fits my game very well, absolute fairway finder from the tee, and not too difficult when using a fairway wood off the grass.

Not something bought, but something won!  I won the pluggedingolf #secretgiveaway2021 and received this “highly unusual” putter in the mail yesterday. 
 

not sure it has much of a chance to kick the ER2B out of the bag, but it does feel good rolling the ball around the home office!

I wonder if I could get this to pass as a “classic club” for the 2021 classic bag challenege.
