Golf Clubs

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

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
