What golf gear did you buy today? - Page 45 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

Time to pull the trigger on a new Vokey 58*. I noticed the leading edge looked a bit round and compared it to my 54* (which I rarely use) and wow what a difference. Lasted around a year or so. Considering how much I play I guess that is to be expected.

I heard K grind is the bomb. I turned a few old clubs into global so I'll be in the market for a new pair soon. I need to get out and look at/swing some. Right now TM, Wilson and Cleveland are interesting me.

If not, I'd go get fitted/try a bunch of shafts at a retailer. There are ~30 no upcharge options when you buy new.

I have a shaft to put in it already. I don't have the adapter sleeve though. The ones willing to sell head only go quick. I need to check it more often or use the notification option if they have it.

All I did was type SM6 M grind in search. It was the 9th on the search bar. Nice heel, toe, and trailing edge relief for a club you can manipulate at will. I'm getting a new 54 & 58 soon but vokey just didn't work for me.

I was thinking about 60, but you can just manipulate 58 up as long as you have some heel relief. I'm actually thinking about Wilson Staff wedges, as I have heard that all wedges these day are pushing conformity limits on grooves & face roughness. And by god do they look beautiful, the PMP abbreviation is just icing on the cake. The stock grip also has 2 reference points near the bottom of the grip for choking down properly, which I like.

This except left handed. I wish I could hit the club 247y like the launch monitor said I did.

Has anybody tried the new Costco/Kirkland brand golf balls?

http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signa...100310467.html

Early reviews indicate they're pretty damn good.

Thread on WRX regarding these. I would for sure buy a couple dozen and give them a shot.

If they are good I guess I will be purchasing a Costco membership when the store opens up this winter about 5 miles from my house.

Apex are such good clubs. The hybrids are quite heavy in the head, how's the utility iron?

Pretty light actually IMO. I only hit it off the mat in the store before I brought it to my club guy to add an X100 shaft in it. Hope to test drive it Friday before the member/guest on Saturday.

Bought 3 dozen Titleist Pro V1x 2016 - AAAAA/1st Quality from LostGolfBalls for $67 (that includes a $13 shipping charge).

Played one round with three of the balls (I lost two of 'em, **** YOU) and I couldn't tell the difference between these and new ones.

I have never played ProV1x's for any length of time, just what I find on the course and play them sparingly when I find them. I need to give the AAAA balls a shot then compare to the Kirkland balls.

I have this in the 21* version. Love it.

Kinda wish they'd had the 18* when I went in though, to be honest. It's probably no harder to hit than the 21* but you get more yards with it. What's your experience like?

Picking it up tomorrow. Had a shaft change and had it bent 2* upright for me. Will report results tomorrow, hopefully I can get it between my 18's tomorrow.

Bought a 4/5 hybrid. Havent been hitting my 4 iron high enough lately so going to mess with a hybrid, just need to dial in the loft, goes between 22-25. Also trade a 3 wood I had laying around for the cobra baffler. Hopefully will hit them both tonight!
