    Gloves

    I use the Vice ML and it's only the second glove I found that fitted me well. The first was the ping sensor sport (they do 3 versions an all leather, a sythetic and this one which is all leather with a fabric stretchy bit in between...

    Vice golf balls - experience to date

    I bought three gloves with my last set of balls and love them. Great fit and classic looking. I normally buy a M/L in the ping or footjoys and the vice ones fit the same imo

    Methods for tracking shots etc?

    Golf shot do a window phone version but my google search turned up $19.99 (I'm sure there was a free version (on android anyway)) https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/golfshot-gps/9nblggh0fnjv

    Driving Range "Pros"

    Whilst I'd never defence unsolicited advice I do feel like I need to present an alternative view regarding people with 'all the gear'. Personally I have a range near me attached to a small 9 hole course which isn't of a super high standard. The balls are rubbish but it's cheap and close. I'd...

    Do you still believe the latest driver goes further than its predecessor

    Disappointed with Galvin Green

    I would like to stick up for GG products (not the company customer service as I've not experienced this). I have a jacket bought 2.5 years ago which has served me really well in some extremely wet conditions over the last couple of winters. This was a lot better than my previous jacket which...

    Regular v stiff flex shafts

    That wasn't the case for me, regular flex hadn't snapped back due to my swing speed and ended up being de-lofted and inconsistent in terms of rights and left, the flight was also much lower than my stiff flex. Additionally getting a lot more distance presumably due to the higher and straighter...

    Dilemma time.

    I would say that confidence is a big factor in scores. Making the correct decisions and executing them only comes from knowing you're going to make it. If you're not confident or happy with your swing at the moment then the scores will likely suffer as indecision sets in. If you're prepared...

    telling a FC they're having a good round

    Although I've personally experienced this, I took at as a reminder than I wasn't in control of my round psychologically. Frankly, we could all do with being better in this area. Practice it, how do you react when you're doing well? how about doing badly? have you visualised these eventualities...

    Garmin S20 or X40?

    @Capella I've not really seen the auto shot tracking in action. Normally when I get to the green it's switched to score entry mode (on its own) and default to par (no I'm not that good!) When you start a round it asks whether you want to 'keep score' but doesn't ask if you want it tracked. I am...

    Garmin S20 or X40?

    As far as activity tracking goes I use it to track my steps during football and badminton and for my sleep. The garmin connect app isn't amazing, but it's functional. It seems ok, but I've not got a lot to compare it too I'm afraid. I do like the idea of the HR monitor on the x40 and if I'm...

    Garmin S20 or X40?

    I have the s20 and apart from having to send a faulty version back I've been very impressed with it. It's the first golf watch I've been happy to use as a watch, and the Bluetooth notifications are cool. Also the battery life is exceptional, last week I got 54 holes out of it, and 6 days...

    Is hitting a draw with a driver all it's cracked up to be?

    This is an interesting question but I believe the launch and swing speed are more important to the distance of the drive, and I believe that when you have distance you worry less about the shape as long as it's controlled distance. From personal experience, I went to my pro to have a quick look...

    Time to replace game improver irons?

    I've been playing now for a couple of years and midway through last year I replaced my original set of clubs (a hand-me-down from my dad) with a set of fitted ping G30's. These have done me well and I hit them fine, but recently a couple of things have been playing on my mind. 1. I was fitted...

    Pencil stand bags?

    I have a Aerolite 6 bag which is a nice bag albeit a little bit small for a full set. http://www.americangolf.co.uk/gps-bags-equipment/carry-bags/mizuno-golf-aerolite-micro6-stand-bag-275010.html I've used it all winter as we've been on carry only, it's looking a little muddy as mine is in...
