How do I stop myself from buying new equipment?


Recommended Posts

Yup, this for sure will take care of anything like buying stuff for golf.

Not necessarily. My wife does not question golf purchases and i don't question shoes and purses. Match made in heaven.

So, let me start by saying I have issues. I wish there was such a thing as golf equipment buyers anonymous because I would be one of their charter members. Right now, I have a bag that is just performing amazingly well for me but I can't stop thinking about new equipment (all the time).

 

For example, I have a Callaway EPIC SZ. It's been one of the greatest performing drivers I've ever hit, but I've noticed recently that my ball flight seems a little lower than I would like it, so a sane, rational person would just simply raise the loft, however, I keep reading reviews on shafts and decide to instead order a Graphite Design Tour AD TP shaft to see what a mid/high launch shaft with low spin performs like. My fitter doesn't have a lot of exotic shafts and something in me needs to know if this shaft will work better for me. I'll know that answer in a couple of days when it gets here.

 

A couple of months ago I bought some Titleist 716 AP2 irons. They have performed amazingly well for me. Then I hear this little voice in my head saying, "Hey you, have you heard how awesome the Wilson V6 irons feel. I bet you would love those irons!" I've had to stop myself from pulling the trigger on those about 3 times so far because no one in the area carries them and I want to try them.

 

Moving on to the putter, I was chosen by MGS to the test the Sentio Sierra putter around the start of the year. It's been the best putter I've ever used and easily lowered my putts per round, but then I read how well the Evnroll putters are performing for people and that voice in my head starts talking to me again.

 

Basically, every club in my bag is in danger at some point and I need to stop. I do sell all my old equipment online but I never get what I paid for it.

 

Anyone else have these issues?

Run every purchase by your wife. That'll slow you up.

You can't stop...

Callaway is releasing epic irons next month...

The F7+ is worth a crack.

New TMAG blade coming soon..

O-works releasing all black models,

After all that the M3 range will be out.

If you truly want to not be tempted to buy clubs, avoid all golf stores, internet sites and forums  :D .

 

That's a start but means no more MGS. 

 

It also does not include your buddy that just bought a new club and is playing way better than he used to.   B)

This is so friggin true that I hate to admit it. Perhaps I should have picked "Love Stinks" by J. Geils (God rest His soul) as my first tee song.
