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

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
