I have a golf equipment buying problem. G430 3 hybrid today. That is it now.

Agreed. I get 170 yards with a 7 iron from one set and 145 from the other. I often carry two clubs with the same number, depending on where I'm playing.

Most clubs accepting direct debit, do so via a finance company, so it's a loan and if you cancel it's not the club chasing you, but the loan company.

47 degree Paradym approach wedge (can you call something with that loft a wedge?!) to cure my gapping issue, from the Callaway pre-owned site.

A very lightly used set (5-PW) and well priced Paradym irons. I had this set before getting fitted for my i230's, but now accept I'm not good enough for them. The pro did tell me that, but I did what I did and hope to progress onto them soon. They've midsize grips, so having them swapped...

Influencing innit. He wears a tailored one, all his customers want the same. Wear what you sell...

Most Pro shops part exchange, so have a healthy stock of used stuff. Even may be the case at your local range too?

What I don't get is the production numbers. Sells out within days and never seems to come back into stock. Sells on eBay and the likes for more than retail, so the demand is there. I have version one and yes, like it as I've mentioned a few times, which I bought new. Would I buy V2 - well, I tried.

Took all my odds and ends to the pro shop and left with the 22 degree G430 Hybrid, my old Mizuno 7 wood (which I discovered at some stage has had a longer aftermarket shaft fitted) as it's worth about 8 pence, but with more in my pocket than when I went.

If I don’t shed the old, I’ll never commit to the new. That’s my excuse anyway :ROFLMAO:

I recently had a proper fitting, after years of buying what caught my eye. Albeit I can’t hit a 4 iron for toffee, I got one with the set and will force myself to get better with it. Also decided to match up the wedges, with same shafts, lie etc, but they really have taken some getting used to...

The SM9 I listed sold within the hour to be fair. Just had a giddy spell and listed some stuff on the club whatsapp I don't use - Ping G Series 3 wood, PXG 7 wood, plus a Garmin Approach and popping up to part exchange my Paradym 21 degree hybrid (never liked it) for a new G430 22 degree...

I was mugged into changing every time they released a new model, right up until SM9 - had 54/56/58/60/62 and always got good money when swapping. Now I've gone Ping S159 wedges to match my iron set, but kept the 56 12D, as it was my go to sand wedge. Just popped it on the club group for sale at...

A bobble hat because I forgot one and it was freezing. Grey one with Titelist/FJ branding all over the place.

Checking the course I'm playing tomorrow and finding out I will be playing off a mat, or placing in the rough.
