What equipment are you thinking about?

I played midsize most of last year and found them much better than standard. But I switched my driver, woods and hybrid to a mix of Golfpride Jumbo and Jumbomax S and XS. Currently trying out Jumbomax Ultralight and Zenlite Medium grips. So far, I've found the Jumbomax grips really help reduce wrist stress and help to quieten my hands through the swing. Easier to maintain good wrist hinge angle. It has made a noticeable difference with my driver.

I'm putting a couple of them on irons this weekend to try out on the sim on Sunday. Not cheap to completely regrip the set with them if I end up going that route. Wedges should be interesting...I'm wondering if there's much of an impact on feel.

I was looking at the Jumbomax's as well. I have long skinny fingers, so anything to reduce the stress on them is the direction I want to go. Sounds like a solid plan you got going and I actually might look into doing the same as my driver needs a regripping no matter what. As far as the wedges, I could see where feel might be an issue, but personally I feel my grip when using my wedges is a lot more relaxed so it might not immediately need to be addressed. Definitely things to think about.

I’ve always been partial to Tour Edge. They offer a good, solid product and have a lifetime warranty.

Do ball markers count ? Because I’m thinking about these 2 at the moment

You guessed it! I’ve been waiting months for them to restock these 2 specifically!

My Ping rep hooked me up again with the VIP fitting, so going to definitely get fitted for wedges and putter, and will put the G430 Max to the test vs G430 Max 10k! Cant wait!!!!

Have fun!

Driver is about the only spot in my bag that is in any danger at the moment. Even that isn't so much a need to replace spot, it's just that the one I have isn't quite the best option for me anymore. Whether I actually go and replace it will be determined by what kind of expenses the wife allows me to incur this year.

Thanks for the invite. I loved my Ping G driver. I hit it until it cracked on the face from too much use. I will love to try the latest version of the driver and shaft.

If there was a super like button I would have pressed that but instead you get this unnecessary long message. I however will not be buying those because no one loses ball markers like me.

That’s the exact reason I passed on them the first go around . The only reason o still have an Odyssey poker chip is because I threw it in my nightstand drawer and that’s where it stays

I have lost friends ball markers they let me use immediately. We get the the very next green. They say yoooooo let me get that ball marker back and it’s gone.

I’m in the market for some new wedges - absolutely in love with the mizunos, I play the jpx 800s irons so can only imagine what the latest T series wedges feels like 

[KMAC23]

Thinking about new wedges, what brand/model should I look into? Currently have Vokey SM8 60,56,52,48. Was thinking about the TaylorMade HiToe.

Looking at buying a place with my wife currently, so I've been leaning towards places with a garage/shed big enough for a home sim set-up, and have been looking at what I'd need to get that running. Already have a Garmin R10, and a very good gaming PC, so I've been checking out the best recommendations for a mat, overhead light, nets, screen etc. Feels like I could still be going down a very expensive rabbit hole here...

After a terrible putting performance yesterday, I immediately started looking at LAB putters once I got home 

However... after some deep breaths and introspection, I think my issues have more to do with the archer than the bow . So, I started looking for something to improve my putting practice, and came across the Putting Thing from WhyGolf. 
Think this would really help me get control over my putting stroke, and love that it works well both indoors and out.

Can't decide if I want white, green, or both

[Indy_Oz]

First round of the year yesterday confirmed a few things for me that necessitate some financial expenditure...

1- My putting is shocking. Ha ha. I really like the feel off the face of my Sik putter, but I struggle with alignment more than I did with an Odyssey O-Works Seven Tank I borrowed for a month last summer (when I had my best rounds for putting). I am going to test a load of putters and get a proper putter fitting this spring and a putting lesson. I am curious to try aimpoint. In the meantime, I'll keep working with the putting mat in my garage and the indoor putting green at the sim/ training place I go to. I can't use the excuse of "well it is still winter and it was my first round" as I struggled to hit the <2.0 putts per hole target last fall and I really do need to focus on that to drop my scores and handicap.

2- My driver is fine for now and I don't really *need* a new one just yet, despite enjoying the latest driver releases at recent fittings and wanting to try a Ping out on a course.lol. So $$ saved for now.

3- I definitely want to switch out the shaft in my TM MG3 50* gap wedge for the same KBS C-Taper Lite X-stiff shaft I used in my irons. Relatively cheap upgrade. Once the 50* is swapped I'll consider doing the same for the 56*.

4- As soon as the weather warms up and the practice centers open, I need to spend a ton of time in bunkers! Ha ha. Growing up in the UK, my local courses had consistent and soft sand bunkers and I always had good bunker technique. But now my local courses are mostly relatively bunker-free parkland courses and lots of the bunkers lack in soft sand and are hard baked surfaces or inconsistent. Might go for a short game lesson or two soon and make sure I have the right combination of wedge bounce in my 56* and 60*.

TLDR: Replacement shaft for gap wedge (and maybe SW). Putting and short game lessons(s). Putter fitting.

So I got a set of Radspeed irons out of the company well was catalog last. Year didn’t have shaft choice just had the irons in there and I thought why not. Turns out they’re a regular flex and I’m swinging to fast for them. I try to consciously slow my swing down, but I’m beginning to wonder should I reshaft them or sell them and get into something like a PXG that I can get fitted for and still save some money? So I guess I’m looking a shaft and some PXG’s atm

They’re both amazing but that white with the green not Solo cup is my vote!

I ended up buying both, just in case

I also like the white one the best, just not sure how it’ll look on a white putter shaft. We shall see!

If I were in the market, I would go with the green one. They are both sharp though.

Definitely things to think about. 

Had been curious about the Jumbomax for a while and was ordering some stuff from Dick's and had a reward coupon so decided to grab one. I got the Tour Series model in XL. I typically play MCC+4 MIdsize grips with an extra wrap on the bottom since I tend to get handsy/flip.  I decided to try the Jumbomax on a 3 wood that I have been hooking like crazy. Played it for the the first time Friday and I have to say I'm convinced.  The first couple of tee shots (first two swings ever with the grip on) were pushed dead right likely because I'm conditioned (due to the hook) to aim way right. 3rd, after an aiming adjustment was crushed dead center.  It was an adjustment to get used to the feel but I'm very happy with the results thus far. I'm not ready to switch over on all my clubs yet, but it has me thinking about what other clubs in my bag could benefit.  So I'd say they're worth a flier, especially if you grip your own clubs and don't have to pay someone else to install them.
