What golf gear did you buy today? - Page 60 - Golf and Golf Tournament Forum

Big time. You could have 2 shafts with the same flex and one will have your ball flight 3 times higher and twice as much spin. There is a lot to it and its a science of its own to find what works best for you.

Best thing is to just try out one club with all of the different stock shaft options and pick the shaft that works best. You can do this almost all places that let you test drive their clubs.

I am a cheap bastard and just buy the 3 or 4 packs from Costco. I am always rotating gloves but I usually retire them after about 10 rounds or use for a glove. I have never been picky about gloves.

I find the Bionic gloves last longer than most other gloves I've tried. Pricey though.

Returned it. It was pretty cool but it was hard to see because of the size

We aren't sure my roommate isn't sold on them and he's been in the industry for a while

I won 2 dozen TP5X golf balls off that Facebook group I wad was telling y'all about. Bought 2 numbers for $10 a piece, chose number 4 and 5, 4 comes up. Yahtzee! Never actually played the ball but hear a lot of good things.

Never played a vice. But the TP5/TP5X is confirmed awesome. I would choose them over a ProV.

Binked a poker tournament last night, so what the hell, went out and bought my first Scotty Cameron putter:

Got the Futura 5CB after trying a bunch of others...my putting stroke has a small arc, so this smaller mallet with the weighted toe seemed to be best.

can't wait to try it out!

If I just didn't buy 4 dozen Chrome Soft X balls, I would immediately go out and try the TP5...the reviews look really good.

Been playing TM lethal for several years, great ball. I think the TPx is the replacement so I'd expect it to be excellent as well.

Tried the chromesoft, nice soft feel but seemed to lose a little distance for me compared to the Lethal.

I just bought a dozen Chrome SoftX in yellow, because for some reason I decided I want to try a yellow ball. Like it so far.

Maaaan I even like the way the TP5X comes off the putter face. Roll seems super true and lively.

I came here since I just bought 5 dozen Vice Tour balls. I'm playing today. I'll try to remember to report back.

A fake Scotty studio select newport 2 ;( shipped yesterday and it felt weird from beginning. Posted it on golfwrx and pretty much confirmed my suspicious. Good thing I bought from global golf so just have to eat shipping charge

I've played 2 rounds with them. They're pretty solid. For $17 per dozen, it's worth it.

Scotty GoLo circa 2012. Found it slightly used on the WRX forums. Perfect change of pace for when I am not putting well, like now. Gonna take a bit to get used to but I like the early results.
