What Is Your Next Planned Golf Equipment Purchase?


Recommended Posts

Actually, just got this beauty the other day...had an 8+ year old Tour Edge Exotics E8 driver and happened to be at a local store over the weekend. Lots of deals on last year's models, $200-$300 off.

Hit a bunch on a whim, Stealth 2 Plus, AeroJet, Ping 425 LST, Titleist TR3, Paradym, etc.

Came home with this one - it's the low spin model (LST) for lower spin and trajectory based on my swing. Have been out twice so far and really liking it.

Yes - already done.  I bought a few dozen balls (Srixon's) and new shoes - FJ Hyperflex.  I literally tossed my 1 year old Under Armour Storm shoes, I wore 2 more times this year.  First time out I could only play 9 and they were fine, very comfortable.  Second time we played 18 - something broke in the heel and a piece of plastic wore a hole in the back of my foot, my sock was all bloody in the back when I took it off and there was blood in the shoe - i tossed them, too bad as I liked them a lot.  This was in the heel part and I could feel the plastic piece that was broken back there but I couldn't fix it and didn't want to risk it again while walking.   I picked up some gloves and other minor items but no additional clubs are anticipated this year.

I recently updated my whole bag. Only missing piece is an extra wood or long iron. I’ve been leaning more into a driving iron lately and have my eyes on the ping icrossover.

I'm looking to buy a new driver and 3 wood to replace my Ping G15s.  I've had 4 or 5 different suggestions from different fitters.  🤨🙄

A new rangefinder may be my next purchase. My current one is on its last leg.  A lot more options on the market since the last time I bought one, so I'll have to spend some time figuring out the best option.

What i'd REALLY like to purchase is the $7k Foresight GC3.  It's a stupid purchase for some weekend warrior like myself, but it's just THAT CLOSE to being an achievable purchase without breaking the bank.  Cool data, i could set it up with my Net Return, and just basically have a ball every evening with it 🙂

Golf pride reverse taper grip. I’m left hand low and so I’m hopeful this helps eliminate a little wrist motion. 
I’m lusting over the Ping Blueprint T irons.

Morning. This year, I have two things on my radar: a new putter and shoes, both of which I am researching actively. It would be good if I won the test putter from this site. LOL!!

Golf is a humbling sport....I should know...I have three kids, and that can be frustrating!

21 years ago when my son started golf lessons he naturally trended towards left hand due to the influence of hockey.  The instructor wanted to start him out right handed but I also played hockey and was left handed.  I said let's keep him left handed if it feels natural to him and I can pass down my clubs to him.  Now that my son is older and making good money, he is often experimenting with new equipment, therfore, I now get his hand-me-downs at a very "reasonable" price!  I have his Vokey 54 and 58 degree wedges.   I've decided the grooves, especially on the 58, which is also my sand wedge, are worn and I don't get the same predictable bite chipping onto the greens.  My son has 56 and 60 degree wedges so I had to buy my 58 at a store!  ☹️ Found my same 58 K 14 Vokey at Golftown Canada on sale!  Next purchase will be a golf bag.  My son has 3 Vessel golf bags but I don't see him parting with one of them anytime soon.  So, I'm looking for a great sale on either a Vessel or Ghost bag next.

I have appointments for fittings of both the new Ping irons and the Cobra Dark irons. Not sure which I'll buy or if I'll buy either one. My irons are kinda wild right now. I'm sure it's not me!LOL. Anyway, after the first week of May I plan to either buy new irons or sign up for lessons. 

Driver:Ping G425 Max.

Fairway: 3W, 5W, 7W Taylormade Stealth

Irons: Taylormade Stealth 5-SW

Putter: Ping Anser from around 1993. Looking for new putter now...

Love this game!

Other planned purchase will be an electric cart. Not sure what one or model but that will happen at some point even if it is next year. 

Same…I am looking forward to reviews on the Motocaddy drop. It’s been on my radar for a long while now just have to piece together what my wife and I call my DIAR (ducks in a row). That way when I present the expense to the boss it’s not shot down immediately, lol.

I should be selling more than buying but I just can't help myself. 

I have the hardest time finding the perfect pair of shoes. I think I'm just cheap and don't want to pay 150 for a pair. I should probably just suck it up.

I have one wide foot and one not as wide so it's a challenge; the wide usually are too loose in the heel. Skechers relaxed fit seem to be good.

I'm still rocking my original Teardrop putter, but I feel like it's time to get fitted for a putter, especially with all of the new technology.

Also, if I can't figure out how to hit my 5 iron consistently, I will be adding a 9 wood to my bag for sure. 

18 holes, golf buddies, cocktails, and a good cigar. That is the way.

I have very low confidence in my Titleist SM9 wedges, 50, 54, 58. I know I know, y’all love yours. Cool, enjoy them. 
 

I’m moving on and with my club (Bent Creek Golf Club in Eden Prairie, MN) I will be demo’ing Calloway Jaws Raw and Ping S159 in 52, 56, and 60. Gotta get the bounce/grind dialed, but like the look and feel so far from testing indoors. 
 

Trying to cut 5.5 strokes this season, hoping focus on my 125 in will help me achieve this goal. 
 

Cheers!

I need to buy a five wood. Mine is old. I didn’t have it in play but my new irons have a 4 which I like, but made my hybrid redundant. This is likely going to result in all new woods. 

Beat Army!

I'm working with my Pro to test out new wedges (Sand and Lob).  Learning more about bounce and grind and what makes most sense for the typical New England sand bunkers (not soft and fluffy like Florida).

Any suggestions would be appreciated.   Thanks.
