What equipment are you thinking about?

[FromRightToLeft]

I've been obsessing over a new Lab putter. When my tax return arrives, I might jump.

[RickM71]

I got a notice that I have a USPS package arriving today from Covington,GA. I see that is where Bridgestone is located, so fingers crossed I'll have new Bridgestone balls to test out this weekend. 

[BreakfastBall15]

Whatever strength program Jimmy Walker is on. Not a good look for LAB putters but it was kinda hilarious to watch

Oh no… I might not financially recover from this

This. Is. Incredible. 

[Shankster]

I haven’t been looking at most of the new clubs…. Man, I stumbled onto cobra’s website today.  Might have to find a place to go hit the dark speed…

She's a beaut - especially the Masters edition!  Cobra really knocked it out of the park with the DS!

[KidWiff]

I’m jonesing to take a crack at a couple of different iron sets.  Titleist T150/200 and the Ping Blueprint-S.   Both just look so darn good to me!

Agreed, those azaleas they imprinted in the black. Man that’s a sexy driver

[RocketRobertson]

Short hitter off the tee. Driver is the weakest part of my game. I struggle to get the ball in the air, hit a lot of line drive tee shots, currently play a 12 degree callaway epic(avg driving distance 190yds my 5i goes 180yds). wondering if I would benefit from that mini driver Taylor Made is selling. just wanna get my tee shot 210+ and in bounds, I'm not greedy.

I would say go hit a demo of the mini. I did last year at Golf Galaxy and it told me that it was a good option for me! Love it and it’s still in my bag.

not to be "that guy" but my advice would be to find a teaching pro and use the $ you might use on a new mini driver for a quick lesson. That epic is a good driver and it might be something simple that someone watching you can fix rather quickly.

just a thought from someone who has bought too many different clubs thinking they would be the solution and I end up with the same problem...

you are probably right i've done 4 lessons with a pro and have not seen much improvement, but I might just need to find another pro that suits my game better thanks for the reality check.

In serious need of a new driver, fitted years ago and now after a while I don´t want that weight on my shaft, been playing titleist TS4 X-stiff, I´ll probably end up in ping. Any suggestions?

[sp0rtsfan86]

I finally admitted defeat. After losing my old rangefinder, I bought one a few years ago from shot scope. Honest truth is that I never could trust the distance. It often can't find a pin, struggles with trees and gives 3-4 distances. It finally hit the point of I can't anymore during my last round. On a par 3 I got a distance of 150ish to the front and 150/175/180 towards the pin. Ended up on the green but took 15 seconds of time. Next hole, same sort of problem. 150, 170 , 180. Turns out it was 140. 2 holes later, same deal.

I have been struggling for awhile and decided to get a used bushnell XE off Facebook. Frankly, I just couldn't deal with having to guess the distance and having zero confidence in distances-- especially for irons. I doubt this will be my last purchase but we shall see.

[clinder34]

I have been kicking around the idea of switching out my hybrid or 4 iron for a driving iron for 2 years now and havent made the switch. I have good distance off the tee, but my driver is by far my most inconsistent club. 

[Drew Cambio]

I just got my combo set of the Bridgestone J33 and I love them!! Not nearly as forgiving as my cobra aerojets, but they feel so pure. Definitely going to have to up my game a little bit but ready for the challenge of a players iron set.

[RickM71]

Informed my Mizuno JPX 923 Forged irons have shipped and should arrive this week. Can't wait to use them.

Also trying to figure out what I will do for wedges. The gap wedge in the Mizuno set is 49 degrees. I currently have a 56 degree SW, but thinking maybe it is time to do a wedge fitting and figure out if I should go 52, 56, 60 or 54 58.

And also trying to decide what I'll be doing at the other end of the bag. I have a new driver and then my irons. I'm thinking maybe a 5 wood and a 4 hybrid. I'm not sure it is worth carrying a 3 wood but that may help reaching par 5s and also be a nice alternative off the tee on tighter holes.

Been thinking about putting a stability shaft on my putter. Wish I could say I hit perfectly center on every putt and these graphite putter shafts seem to really seem to help with minimizing dispersion when miss hit and who doesn’t want that.

Not apples to apples, but I really like the Odyssey stroke lab shafts for similar reasons. 

Because it’s your money, I say go for it! And let us know how it works out

I was part of the Odyssey Ai-ONE test and was quite impressed with off center performance…distance was similar regardless of where on the face the ball was struck.  Compared it to other putters I had around and the Odyssey performed much better.

Here is the page for the test :

Definitely post some comparison numbers to show if it does or doesn't help with off center dispersion.

New here, but I got an Ai One 7C a month ago and love it.

[MajorMike]

New to the site, starting to play again after years off (was an 11).  Needed new clubs and just ordered Sub 70 699 v2 Pro's plus a couple JB wedges and 949X 5 and 7 wood.  Bought a used Cobra F9 Speedback driver and Ping G410 3 wood and 3 hybrid for my others.  Also just got an Ai One 7C putter.  Now with a whole new (to me) bag.

Welcome! That's a nice bag of sticks you've pulled together there.

Welcome to the forum and that is a nice setup you have!  There’s so much good stuff here…I think you’ll enjoy it.

Let us all know how it goes as you get out and at playing.

@MajorMike welcome to the Forum!

My buddy who always hooks me up with good golf products has a Titleist U505 2-iron with a graphite design AD-DI 6S shaft in it. I'm currently gaming a G425 Crossover 2-iron, but I had to pull the trigger on this new one. I'm hoping that this shaft will be a better fit for me; I believe my current one is slightly too stiff for my swing. Should be shipping out this week so I'm pumped to try it out!
