Played golf for the first time in a long time this morning (thank you, Masters). My golf clubs are getting pretty old and are fairly worn, so I am considering investing in some new ones. Any recommendations?

My last set were Nike Slingshots from the first release. I plan on going to the golf shop to try a lot of them out, but I'd like a starting point.

I am sure most of it is a mental thing...we build these little scenarios in our minds that we can hit this club better than we can hit that one...but you certainly want to be comfortable with whatever you buy!

if you are going to get into it fairly seriously and plan to drop some decent coin on clubs, I would highly recommend getting a swing analysis completed. Most of the big stores should offer it. Once they look at your swing and measure your speed etc, they will make recommendations for you.

Go somewhere and get fitted... makes a big difference from what I understand. Then you can choose the brand and make you want...

I am tempted to get a new set soon as well. I would probably go with Titleist or Cleveland.

I got my slingshots fitted, and it was definitely tremendous. It added quite a bit to the price. But if I am really going to get back into playing, I don't mind spending a lot.

I haven't much kept up with Titleist irons recently, so I'll check those out. I've heard a lot of good things about Clevelands, so they are currently #1 on my list.

Good call. I had my swing analyzed when I played for North Stone, but I never had it done when I went to purchase. I should definitely give that a shot.

I really like the way the Cleveland irons sit. I don't like irons with an offset at the hosel, and most of the Titleist's and Clevelands don't.

I like the TaylorMade Draw irons too... there's too many choices really. I went in Martins in Myrtle Beach two weeks ago when we were down there... you could really go crazy trying to narrow it down without some professional help.

I gotcha. Yea I attend East Carolina University so I play up here. Honestly, the courses aren't much fun here. I've never played in Wilmington though.

Come on down man... tons of courses. The muni is nice most all year, just gotta watch out 'cause the holes are pretty close together and there's lots of high handicappers out there.

I'd love to get down there. I have a lot of friends that live there. I'll definitely check it out. I'll let you know and hopefully we can hit the links.

Just got everything fitted as my older clubs are still out of the country. Spent a couple hours at golf galaxy where fitting and swing analysis is free.

Mizuno MX 300 Irons

Taylormade Hybrids

Nike Square-head driver

Cleveland wedge 56

Ping putter

Ogio bag

So far I am having trouble with the hybrids. i used to have King Cobra 3/5/7 woods which i liked. Love the square-head. That is the only club i would urge you to hit. The rest are just personal preference

      Why is everyone focused on BY while the real problem is ignored

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Yeah... One bad game for Bryce meaning he's not a pro and should be replaced, after a strong finish to last season is a little premature. But the clock has started for sure. If anything, we've seen that he needs to do something to have a better start to the season. That is not sustainable.  Truth. The team ain't ready. The defense ain't ready. Derrick Brown didn't even look good. Just because you throw a lot of resources into a position group doesn't mean you've magically fixed it. And saying the team is using resources to make a specific QB look serviceable is insane to me. If they're using draft picks at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. If they're using free agency to get good players at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. It IS NOT to make the QB look serviceable. It's to make the TEAM look serviceable. Football isn't a sport where money necessarily fixes the problem either. I remember the Panthers spent a lot of money on the brother of another olineman, and that was a complete disaster. Paid a lot of money to a HC that was fired half way through his first season and no other team hired him, even though there has been unusually high HC turnover in the NFL. Throwing high draft picks at a position doesn't mean you fixed the problem either. Remember Kelvin Benjamin and Funchess with Cam? Mingo, Marshall... I think after week 4 we'll have a better idea of what we have. This is an extremely young and new group of receivers. The only receiver out there that had ever caught a pass from BY last Sunday was XL. And he wasn't exactly in prime form. I guess if you want to count J. Sanders and Tremble, then... Ok.

      Bryce sucks, but he has been throwing it downfield somewhat consistently over the last year.  12th in ADOT in Week 1, last year he was 5th/27th among QBs with at least 50% of their teams dropbacks (only Herbert, Love, Darnold, and Lamar Jackson were ahead).  He was 2nd in Big Time Throw % too. Last week he had 4 20+ yard throws (0 completions) and 9 10-19 yards.  Compare that to say, Jared Goff, who was in a similar spot last week as far as needing his team to rally and score - he only had 1 throw of 20+ yards and 6 10-19 yards. So Bryce is definitely a poor downfield thrower, but he has been a willing one, especially since returning from his benching.

      We are in the craper and will be until this team has more talent and better coaching. They have a long way to go.
