ncwoz 1,724 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Well folks, debated not posting but figured I've gotta start somewhere! It's a bit of a hodge podge, but here's my current load out: Driver: TaylorMade R9 SupterTri (Fujikura MotoreF1 65 shaft) 3W: Callaway X2 Hot (Aldila Tour Green 75 Tx shaft) Irons (PW-2): Ping Eye 2 Wedges (52 & 60): Mack Daddy 2's Putter: Ping Cushin Being that my wife and I still have college loans breathing down our necks I'm on a bit of a budget. This in mind, I'm wondering if anyone has advice on what would be most worth upgrading next? There's not really a club in here I can't stand, and don't want to go buy something that will only be a marginal difference from what I've got.

HardcoreLooper 5,319 Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 There were several years after college where I really had no money for golf, so I feel you on this. You'll find that on this forum, you can't go wrong following @BIG STU's advice. A few things I'd add: Think of any golf purchase in terms of greens fees. I always felt better keeping seasoned gear in the bag knowing that a new driver would cost me somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 rounds of golf. If you're itching for that new club feel, slap on a new grip. It's amazing how a new grip will make you feel so much better about a club. If there's a local Goodwill in/near an affluent neighborhood, swing by it as much as you can. Sooner or later you'll find a treasure. 6 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 4 Wood (17*) - Big Bertha S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 7 Wood - Big Bertha Warbird S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 5i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) GW - LW - F8 - N.S.

I'm sure my wife will also appreciate it as well haha. And I definitely agree with getting new grips. The irons were given to me with ~20 year old grips, and getting them regripped last year was a game changer. 1 Quote Right Handed Driver (9°): Speedzone (HZRDUS Smoke Green 70g X-Stiff shaft) FW (15°): X2 Hot (Aldila Tour Green 75 Tx Stiff shaft) Hybrid (18°): Exotics EXS Pro (Evenflow Black 6.5) (2020 MGS Official Review here) Irons (PW-4) TS-1's (KBS $-Taper 120g Stiff shafts) Wedges (50° & 54°): TSW Forged (Dynamic Gold S300) Wedge (60°): Mack Daddy 2 Putter: ER2B (2019 MGS Official Review here) Ball: MTB-Black OR MAXFLI Tour Link to post Share on other sites

revkev 22,890 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Im going to strongly disagree with several people whom I respect and say driver needs to go ASAP. 10 years old? You are leaving tons of strokes out there regardless of how well you’re hitting it. The rest of your gear is fine (assuming putter fits you)- I could put my old Eye 2’s in the bag, just take an extra club on each shot and be fine (modern irons have stronger lofts) You have four ways to go with driver depending on what you want to spend. 1. Cheapest option is to make your best guess at what will fit you and buy last years Ping G400 - it will run between 200-250 new. 2. Do trufit for $7 here and get the driver it recommended SS. The problem is that could be a $550 driver. 3. Get fit (100) and then find a used driver that is similar to what you were fit for. (Between 300-600) 4. Go all in and get fit and buy what the fitter recommends. (500-750) Good luck - BTW you may want to check out the recent blog case study as verification of what I’m writing.

GB13 7,779 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I have to agree with Rev here. Personally, I'd go with option 2, and then if TGF recommends a driver out of your price range, I'd look at a used club with similar characteristics. The nice part about TGF is it gives you a pretty good idea of what to look for, but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. 1 Quote Wilson Staff C300 9.0* Fujikura Pro 58 stiff Callaway Rogue 3W Mitsubishi Diamana D+ LTD 80 stiff Mizuno MP-18 MMC FLI-HI 2 iron UST Mamiya Recoil 95 stiff Ping I200's 4-W Aerotech Steelfiber I110 CW stiff Ping Glide 52* and 58* stiff Bettinardi Studio Stock #38 Armlock Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Rev - I liked your post because you're correct, and now I'm going to disagree with it. The cheapest among your options is $200. I don't know quite where our recent grad lives, but if it's near Grand Rapids, he could buy two five-round discount cards (https://www.sweetdeals.com/grand-rapids/9001484-2019-grand-rapids-golf-card) and have money left for an eleventh round. You are 100% right that he is costing himself yards with the R9. But he will be costing himself rounds by spending $200 of his golf budget on a new club. I remember the days when I had to think long and hard about spending money on greensfees. So if the R9 doesn't make him want to quit playing golf, my recommendation is to play all of the golf he can right now. New clubs will come when the well-earned raises change the economics. 4 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 4 Wood (17*) - Big Bertha S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 7 Wood - Big Bertha Warbird S2H2 - RCH 90 "Firm" 5i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) GW - LW - F8 - N.S.

I highly recommend getting fit for a putter. Unless you are putting around 30-32 putts per round, this is a upgrade that can seriously help scores. I went from putting 36-39 putts per round with my previous putter(s) to having 31 putts be my highest with my custom fit putter. Just my 2 cents. Of course if you hit everything well just save the money and play more golf!

BIG STU 7,642 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I would agree that my 3 year old driver was well fit for me. That Homna driver has so many adjustment it is scary. Those drivers do not adjust like anything else made trust me. It took me 6 months to adjust that thing. It is a PITA to do range adjustments. I would mess with it from time to time and then get frustrated and put it up. It also takes a special wrench not a standard adjuster wrench because one of the adjustments involves a concentric bushing. Trust me I have the weights and instruction manual. I did a lot of workbench adjustments with that thing along with a manual protractor gauge. Ping eye 2s---- Yep most of them are what I call traditional lofts starting with the PW from 47 to 50*. A friend of mine on WRX who lives up the road from me in NC is a old school expert taught me some things on eye2s. Starting with the PW different patent numbers have different lofts and sole grinds too according to the year made. Also stock numbers on lies on the color codes are funky too. Instead of like say a standard lie on a PW is 64.5 Ping will be at say 64.75 and instead of regular progression in 1/2 degrees between clubs it can vary on certain clubs as much 3/4 *. Crazy I had found 2 sets of Eye2s on the piles at work. One set I kept because it had Apollo multi step shafts which I like. I sold the other set. I got to messing with those things and reverse engineering them which is my thing. My bud took me to school so to speak on those things. I forgot what color code mine were but I bent them up to my specs anyhow. They do hit good and like you say they do not hit any further than any of my blade Macgregors.
