i know there’s posts every day about taylormade drivers breaking head but i can’t find any about fairway woods. i’ve been considering upgrading my 3w to a Qi10 but wanted to see what the general consensus is before i do.

Getting a new driver for Christmas, thinking a ping max g430, wondering if these shafts would make any difference? Also if you have any other recs, lmk. I have pretty fast swing speed but could use extra control and reliability.

What is out there to create virtual playable courses, either on simulators or gaming consoles? A bunch of ny childhood courses closed and I'm feeling nostalgic to recreate at least my favorite holes somewhere.

Does anyone have any recommendations for weight lifting exercises to increase swing speed? I assume that core exercises would be pretty important. I’m looking for more specific exercises to do, and not just which muscle group to train.

It’s winter time, and now I do an indoor league once a week. Just looking to continue working on my golf game through the winter

Just bought the stack system and very excited to get started. I am a left handed golfer and about a year out recovering from a left shoulder/back injury. A focus of my exercise since the injury is building back strength on my left side. I am still a bit “uneven” in that my right side is stronger than the left. I am a little concerned that stack, by swinging left handed and building strength through my right side, will exasperate this “unevenness” in my strength.

Has anyone tried doing the stack system both left and right handed? I was thinking I would basically double up and do it normally for my swing and then do a second workout swinging right handed. Essentially treating it like a more full upper body exercise, rather than just a one-way swing speed enhancer.

So golf Reddit, thoughts, concerns, experiences doing this? Thanks in advance.

Just started playing about a year and half ago, and looking to upgrade from my callaway edge starter set. Broke 100 the last 5 rounds I played, and just hit a 90 a couple weeks ago. So far got Mizuno JPX irons and Cleveland Wedges, and now trying to sort out the top of the bag. Have space for 3 clubs, not including driver.

Most likely getting a PING driver (either G430 Max or G430 10K - hit 10K slightly better with better dispersion but trying to decide if worth the additional cost). In a fitting, driver carry was between 245-255 with Ping 10K driver. Had better distance dispersion with the Ping 10K driver, but slightly better L-R dispersion with Qi10 driver and Cobra Darkspeed X (all 9 degree), though shorter distance by about 15 yards. Essentially looking to fill out the gap between driver and 5-iron (22*). Didn’t have the option to hit the Mizuno 5 iron, but 7-iron carry was about 160yd. For what it’s worth, the Callaway Edge starter set came with driver, 3 wood, 5 hybrid, and 6 iron down. I couldn’t hit the 3 wood as consistently, so relied on the 5 hybrid which was one of my best clubs in that set. But having rented sets a couple times when traveling, I’ve played with a Callaway 5-wood a few times, which each time I hit well with fairly good distance and ball flight.

Some options were:

1. Cobra Darkspeed X 5 wood and TM Qi10 4 hybrid

2. Cobra Darkspeed X 3W-HL and Cobra Darkspeed X 7W with TM Qi 10 4 or 5 hybrid

3. Cobra Darkspeed X 3W-HL and TM Qi10 3 hybrid and 5 hybrid

4. open to any other wood/hybrid combination ideas!

Not married to any of these brands by any means, just happen to hit Cobra and TM the best during the fitting (was mostly only able to hit hybrids due to time constraints). Looking for advice on gapping/long game club combinations and how best to fill out the bag for my game. Happy Thanksgiving!

Looks like Costco is coming out with a new ball. Can’t wait to see how it splashes in the water this summer

Haven’t played in more than 5 years and i have to return to the game, need new equipment completely..

I was a sub 20 HCP, had a fast swing and I’m looking for something that is viable for sub 15-10 HCP, so basically long term irons. Quality and durability is my priority. Unfortunately i cannot try them out or do the fitting process, it has to be a blind buy.. :/

I’ll provide more info if necessary

Wondering if anyone has any feedback or experience with Lazarus wedge set.

I currently play with Callaway rogue irons.

PW 44° - 135 yards Sw 54°- 80 yard

I have a cheap gap wedge that goes 115 yards

I was looking for some advice as to best gap between these.

Thanks in advance

I did a poll last week on buying new irons. I bought this set of Bridgestones, and now need to pick ferrules from them. Because of the red accents on the heads, I'm kinda locked in to something red.

I browsed through BB&F's IG page looking for something cool, and have narrowed it down to these two. I'll likely need to special order a 20 pack of them, and wait 8-12 weeks. No Problem, since winter apparently arrives tomorrow in Detroit.

Which would you choose?

For context I’m 20, and got back into the sport this summer. I’m looking to fill my bad and a hybrid is the last on my list. I’ve really liked playing with the ones I’ve borrows from friends (Titleist 818, Sim Max), and spotted a PXG on sale but it’s a 28 degree. I can comfortably hit a hybrid about 200ish yards, and have a pretty fast/powerful swing, but I’m just concerned that a higher loft might not be best as I begin to improve. Thoughts?

For all my golf life, the only driver I could ever hit straight was my Nike Sasquatch. Other drivers have come and gone from my bag, but I keep coming back to the Squatch. It always cures what ails me. I know one day his time will come to an end and I will need a replacement. So my question is, What modern day drivers are similar to the Nike Sasquatch.

$40 marketplace find I rehabbed for the garage.

Hello Fellow Golfists,

What are we thankful for this year?

I’m going with:

1. Friends who play in any conditions.

2. Greenskeepers who take pride in their product and their staff. It shows.

3. The opportunity to play new courses and make new golf friends.

4. That one guy who lost a bunch of Pro V’s that were basically new all year. I hope your holidays are fruitful and I get to play behind you again next year!

Is there any difference really? If they have the same lofts.

I’d much prefer to hit a hybrid rather than a fairway wood.

I have nothing between my 4 (22degree) hybrid and driver. I can hit my 4 hybrid about 220 but I need something to get maybe another 15/20 yards past that.

My buddies and I are looking forward to our second annual golf trip, summer 2025. We've all got small kids, so want to maximize time for golf, minimize time in transit. Coming from east coast city with a major airport. Can do anything east of Denver (including Denver) and want to have decent weather for mid-summer (late June/early July). Would rather not fly in somewhere and then drive 3 hours (i.e. Into Minneapolis and then drive to Sand Valley). What's the best golf trip near a major airport?

Was thinking Chicago, play Catigny and Cog Hill, multiple courses, but have heard that Cog Hill can be a bummer. We are aspiring bogey golfers. Other ideas? Is Denver the best bet?

I always TRY to go for the center, but my unreasonable confidence lets me go for the pin. Which more often than not ends up in a worse spot.

I am 65 yo male. Inevitably I have lost some distance over the last few years. I usually hit my irons quite high. So, in order to get some distance back, I am thinking of moving my clubheads one length up. This means putting my 5 iron head on my 4 iron shaft, 6 onto 5, 7 onto 6 etc. The benefit is that I retain the loft that I am used to, but theoretically I should gain some distance on all the clubs.

Just for clarification: I am not looking at buying other clubs. Also, I play a 7 wood in stead of a 4 iron. My driving distance is 220 yards with no roll.

What are your thoughts? Anybody else who has done this?

I got back into golf a couple years ago and was using my dad’s set which is senior flex Tommy Armour 845. The distance on my irons are fine. My friend who I play with often (handicap 8) says I should get a better set of irons for my swing speed. I like to shape shots but I’m no where near good enough for blades.

For reference here are my distances with these clubs: 7i 185 8i 170 9i 155 PW 135

My 6i is dead or broken or something but was hitting that 200 before it went to shit. And my 5i is missing and has been for a while.

I recently upgraded my driver so I’m good there.

My husband’s main hobby is golf. I’m trying to figure out what to get him for Christmas.

He has tried just about every club on the market and is regularly changing his own shafts or grips. I could never buy him a club unless I can return it.

In the past I’ve bought rounds of golf to some courses, putting mat, range finder, golf ball bottle opener, autographed memorabilia, etc. I’ve seen these golf challenge card decks that I’m considering getting but I haven’t decided if I think he would use those

What other fun/unique golf accessories are out there?

Hi folks, got fitted for these Wilson MB's sometime last year, and being all nice and shiny I have decided to commit myself (and risk my sanity) to keeping them as clean as can be. That's right, I'm that guy with the iron covers - and just as special as you'd think.

Honestly though, anyone got any better ideas for how I can stop bag chatter with them without having to worry about covers? I walk 99/100 rounds, so something to limit the noise and banging up my clubs is really just what I want.
