Your must purchase item... the one you cant walk past...

[Oddsocks]

So come on lets have a confession session, what is that one item that you cannot walk past when its in a pro shop, for me i have 2.

Balls:

I only play with Srixon AD333 in the winter, or Wilson Staff DX3 in the summer, if im in a pro shop and their on special offer, i simply cant say no. Currently the shelf indoors has 6 doz of each on the shelf and there's prob 2 boxes of each in the car..

But the main one... by a long shot is Adidas Clima-cool T shirts... i seem to have this obsession where as i simply can not find it in me to walk past one if its a colour that i dont own. Its not got as bad as must have every color, but if its a something different or a unusual shade or color i simply cannot leave it on the shelf, i reckon i must have 8-10 different color schemes of same t shirt, and if i see another one this weekend id no doubt buy that as well

so come on lads... spill the beans.

I'm with you on polo shirts, have taken to ping polos in a big way 15 and counting! Also on a ban from HID bit still doesn't stop me looking!

Usually nothing as I can't help but compare to Ebay prices. Being female and small I get stuff for silly prices clothing-wise and buy my balls off there too (when I buy them as not too fussy as long as they're a quality ball).

So I support the pro with lessons and club purchases but never clothing and stuff - unless I have vouchers or it's a club top etc!

i cant pass a sportsdirect without going in and getting something. Whether its a t shirt, trainers, golf tee's...Can't deny them my cash, they are sooooooo cheap!!!

Was on a business trip to Burnley yesterday, spotted a sportsdirect. The day before that i didn't have a lob wedge...now I do. £7.99 Dunlop 64 degree LW...job done, thank you very much. Its not a Vokey but it'll do me for now, plus its better than not having one. Plus its a black head, which i think looks pretty!

an endless supply of Pink Castle Driver Tees for my daughter, if she is practising with her driver she can go through a full pack, they just seem to break very easy.

Some would beg to differ.

My short game is a lot better since getting rid of my 60 degree lob and just having PW, 52, 56.

£7.99 is properly cheap though.

Got to be a nice pro v in the 2nd hand ball selection.

Pro shop has box of refinished and grade A pro v1, so I usually snoop about in there to pick out anything really good.

That or some fancy coloured tees.

I can honesty say nothing!

If I'm in the market for something I'll shop around but I wouldn't say theres something that "I must have"


I have very good impulse control. One of the advantages of always being skint :thup:

this is where i really need to improve, if i go to a pro shop i normally always buy something. I think silvermemre on sunday was the first time i didnt buy anything, but that was because teh 2 sets of trews i wanted they didnt have in my size...

I did make up for it by ordering new shoes that night though

For some strange reason its only when I'm in Amsterdam that I can't walk past a shop window without going in and buying something!


Don't really know why that is!

Professionally enhanced window displays? With tempting one off offers?

WHaaaaaaat?! Do I have to find all the posts where you say you don't like hybrids?

I'd recommend looking at Cobra (natch!) and also Adams. Then you can buy a Mizzy any way.....

You're quite right Monty, Never found a hybrid I got on with and found my long irons more consistant.

Tried an Adams A12 and V3 and they were really nice, but a little pricey. Dont like Cobra clubs, especially drivers. They sound like you're hitting the ball with a frying pan.

Since taking the Mizzy MP fairway out on the course a few weeks ago (and subsequently buying it) I've been itching to try the hybrid. I managed to get a hold of one last weekend and the 20* MP CLK fits the gap nicely between my MP Fli Hi 3 iron and 5 Wood. It also give me a better option out of the semi rough.

My main dislike for previos hybrids was probably down to how high they launched, but the Fubuki shaft in the CLK gives a lovely flight (to my eye anyway) and with it having a square face, as opposed to slightly closed, again suits my eye a treat.

The MP Fli-Hi 2 iron may find itself in the for sale secton soon :thup:
