    I bought today.....

    Had a bit of a shuffle around and decided to drop my 5i out of the bag, wasnt sure whether to add a 5 hybrid as a direct replacement for the 5i or add in a 5 wood and loft up all my hybrids, so I went with the latter - And I bought a Ping G400 SFT 3 wood (which looks brand new!) to turn up to...

    I bought today.....

    Thanks, I'll give them a go next time I have an itch for a new driver shaft. cgc4c is like a graveyard for TM shafts, there is about 5 Taylormade stiff shafts for sale on their website right now, the majority £100+, i remember a few years ago it was a goldmine with picking a shaft up for a...

    I bought today.....

    I wasn't really getting on with my Ping G430 Max driver, no matter what I did, I just couldn't hit it at all, and when I did, I was losing a lot of yards compared to my stealth, and as my 3 wood goes 20-30 yards further and straighter with less effort, I sold it.. The only Taylormade shaft I...

    I bought today.....

    I bought 2 pairs of golf shoes. I like the Ecco Biom C4 so much that I bought my 3rd pair, one I play in now, one saved for the summer and this 3rd pair is the boa version, so I'm looking forward to wearing them out on the course. And the 2nd pair was some deadstock Victory Tour 2's, as that...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    cold & windy, damp greens & muddy fairways, the epitome of winter golf, decent front 9, bad back 9 shot 104 was nice to get out there and play golf with some old golf buddies, so I had fun, and I've decided I no longer need a driver as I am hitting my 3 wood straighter and further than my...

    Ping G440 K Driver

    This is something which I am now over thinking.. with the back weight, I was told on a Titleist TSi3 that you put the weight where you strike the ball to give it more mass behind the ball, but on other clubs its said to put the weight in the toe or heel for shot bias. I am a fader, so I put my...

    Favourite Golf Glove

    Yeah, I heard that too, I'm a long way off playing in any comps tho :sneaky: Thanks to this thread, I went on a bit of a glove-buying binge. I bought some old favourites and some new ones I've ever tried before

    Favourite Golf Glove

    I quite liked the Bionic RelaxGrip; it has extra padding in the place I always get a hole in, which lasted a bit longer than most gloves. Titleist PermaSoft is also pretty good as well. At the moment wearing FootJoy StaSoft, and they haven't lasted too well visable wear after 1 round. 🤷‍♂️

    Ping G440 K Driver

    They did on the G425 fairway and hybrids, if they thought it was a good idea i wonder why it was different for the driver? fwiw, terbulators don't bother me. I use a G410 hybrid and a G430 driver with them, don't even know they're there after a few holes while were talking about ping, I had a...

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    I managed to get out yesterday, for the first time in about a month. It was warm and sunny, with a little drizzle in the late morning. The greens were a bit saturated, but the fairways were playable, maybe a tad soft. In the everlasting ping-pong of either my drivers/woods working great and...

    I bought today.....

    I did this recently, bought a Ping driver head, a Ping version of my Taylormade shaft was too expensive/hard to find, so had a club fitter change the adapter to Ping, worked great and saved a lot of money That's a fantastic putter, I used an 'anser' type putter for a while - a Taylormade Soto...

    Best golf shoes for season ahead - what do you recommend.

    I wear Ecco Biom C4, which is probably the best golf shoe I've worn, and I would recommend. Truly a waterproof golf shoe, and decent comfort, decent grip as well for a spikeless. Although I think Air Max 90s or Jordan 1s are fine for summer golf. For spikes i used to love the FootJoy Packards...

    Carbon Faced Drivers

    was a decent thread about this a few weeks ago.. but I'll recur. I had a stealth hd for several years, had some wear, yes, but never broke on me, but after playing with a carbon face driver for so long, as soon as you go back to a metal driver it just feels and sounds so much better, and in my...

    Warm ( ! ) Winter jacket recommendation ?

    My other golf jackets are Adidas Frostguard - very warm and very light, although not much warmth on the arms, as it's like a hoody material. and a Nike Storm Fit Victory jacket, which is extremely warm, windproof and somewhat water-resistant, it's also very quiet when you swing too. I'd...
