I bought today.....

What if you 'try' them and don't like them? You are stuck with 48 golf balls. I think we have a different definition of 'try out'

Yeah, once the pro had a shelf full of volvic balls. I said to give me one and I'd try it out in my round and if still had it after 18 I'd buy a dozen... lost it off the first tee

lol we do indeed, my pro has been recommending them for a while to me, low spin and low launch are what we are working towards. I like a bargain aswell. im sure ill like them. I used to hit whatever ball before i switched to ad333 a few years back but I could do with less height

edit, also if i dont like them with the price ive paid I can always get back some of the price on ebay if I sell a box unused, prob break even

I did this, bought 6 dozen balls because I got a dozen free and they're not the best

I have the top level Golf Plan policy, which covers £10k, with various max limits per club, rangefinder, trolly etc, but our club insist on insurance against property/people damage, so went for the best cover as there was a cost to bear in any case. I think it's about sixty quid per year.

If your club is affiliated to EG you get up to £10 Million personal liability and damage to third party insurance

It was them told me to get insurance in the first place - will pull someone over that, as annual premuim now paid in full.

That said, the theft cover alone is probably worth it, plus all the other bits and bobs.

There is a hefty excess with the EG insurance - £500 iirc - so it's not necessarily a bad idea to take out your own cover if you want total peace of mind.

Bored, so bought a set of Caley 01 iron heads. I have a set of PX IO shafts sitting in the workshop so I thought why not, can mess about with them over the winter and punt them if they're not great.

Caley heads arrived. Got to say, on first impressions alone they really do look and feel the part. Bit chunkier than I am used to and probably should have gone 01T but as a winter mess about they aren't a hundred miles off the i525s.

Hosel bore is odd though. I haven't measured with the calipers yet but definitely a parallel bore, odd part is that the .355 (.370 collared) ferrules don't fit. I do have some non-collared ferrules somewhere in the workshop but will be later before I can get the 7 iron (you're allowed to test the 7) shafted up and see what's what. I think these might be gifted to my mate's brother in the end but I'll have a play with them.

Just bought three boxes of Vice Pro Air in their Black Friday deal, thanks to the flipping Vice balls thread. They will go into the drawer until next spring.

£500 bit only in respect for damage to 3rd party property, the personal injury claim doesn't carry one

Are these heads .370 parallel..?
I realise other shafts can be shimmed to fit, but just curious, if the same as Takomo tip size

So here'e the odd bit. Got these today. 0.355 shafts have a bit of slop as you'd expect but neither 0.370 shims or collared ferrules are fitting either. Shaft with shim just will not fit at all.

These are proving to be a very odd bore size. Need to find my calipers to check.

Today I officially joined the ranks of senior golfers with the purchase of a string of three pyramid tees for winter play!

Can't wait for the icy weather.

Bought a new car to better fit the golf equipment - does that count

Does it fit the bag in the boot with the driver still in the bag?

Current does, but diagonally and the trolly is a struggle.

New one could fit the whole 4 balls gear in
