I received these beauties today! Built and delivered in 7 days from Carl's!

This arrived today and I took it to the range. Thing is a monster. Couldn't take it so I drove out to #18 tee box to see actual distance. Wind was right to left and light.

#1 - 246y
#2 - not good
#3 - 254y

On the range I ended up moving it to the lowest setting. I do have an occasional thin or toe miss which could be death. We shall see what happens.

Cool! I've been thinking of demo-ing one of these. I only hit my driver about 260 so I am curious to see how far this will go for me.

I just signed up for Utry.com and am currently waiting on a Callaway Stroke Lab putter. Next on my list is the GAPR lo. This will be my first experience with UTRY - basically you can demo a club for 14 days for $25. If you keep it they bill you for the rest, if you send it back you're out the 25 dollars. Seems like a great way to demo a club rather than just hitting into a net at the store. Will report on my experience after I demo the putter.

Got my Stability putter shaft back in mail today finally. Week and a half and a handicap stroke higher with old putters I cannot wait to roll this baby

A high toe miss on this thing is complete death. I hit one in a tournament today and it went back in the bag and I switched to a hybrid the rest of the day. You almost have to favor he heel end of the club which brings in the "s" word into play.

OK good to know - I may try the Mid version which I'd imagine has a little more forgiveness and is somewhere between a hybrid and an iron in terms of appearance.

Oh wow. That makes me very grateful for the couple stores here that have every club you might need and let you hit it on the range for free. This sounds like a pretty cool idea though.

Grabbed a pair of the New Balance Minimus Tour shoes in white/red/black, felt really comfy and light, and I wanted to move back from my Ecco spikeless Bioms to something with spikes. The new Eccos spikeless design just seem super weird, and I've never been a big Nike or Adidas shoe fan.

Also grabbed another pair of Underarmor pants because I pretty much cannot avoid buying their stuff.

Got the new Taylormade Spider X Navy putter. Thing feels so unbelievably stable.

Also just got in Callaway Mack Daddy 4, 50 and 54 degree (10 degree bounce, whatever grind that is) raw wedges with c-taper x's.

I'm definitely keeping the 50 as is, but may bend the 54 to 55 if the gap doesn't feel comfortable. I've been using a 51/55 for a while, but 51 isn't quite enough to gap off a 46 degree stock PW these days.

That should do it for a while.

So I got the Callaway stroke lab Tuttle putter from Utry, it's pretty sweet. Great feel and I love the weight. I like the shape and the 3 alignment lines on the head also. Gonna game it this weekend and decide whether I want to keep it.

So I'm a total golf no0b who finally caught the golf obsession this year and it's been less than a month. I bought Wilson clubs on a black Friday sale at Dick's 3 years ago and just took them out of the box this year. For my level right now they are fine. I've mostly been playing par 60 executive courses near my house and have been getting out to play 9 holes about 3-4 nights a week after work (get there at 6:30 and play til the sun goes down).

For now I'm looking to get some gear for convenience moreso than improving my game starting with a cart and a bag. The cart will come first and the bag I will probably have my wife buy me in a month as a birthday present. I basically want a cart that is easy to assemble and breakdown, durable, fits most bags and has a drink holder. Looking at the 3 and 4 wheel Tour Treks. Any others that you guys love?

As for a bag looking at the Callaway Atlas which seems to have everything I need and an insulated cooler which is a plus. Also appears lightweight and lots of pocket and spaces to separate clubs. Anything else in particular to look for when shopping for a bag?

Finally always looking to add golf gear and realizing I need golf pants. Quick skim of this thread seems to go with UA as the go to. I fit pants weird so will have to go to a store and try them on. Any others you love? Did the ultimate fish move and did a shortpar4 membership for $20 with a promo (jumps to $50 next month if I stay) just to see what they send and any gear is good gear for me at this point.

Looking forward to following this forum and growing my golf obsession with you all.

Clickgear is the top of the line push cart and well worth the money IMO. I have one and it works great.

As for bags just get what works for you. No need to get a name brand.

I have UA pants as well although I rarely need pants in Florida. They double as work wear for me though.

Imo, the only cart I'd consider is a Clicgear.

They are awesome. They fold down really small (and easily) and have a ton of accessories you can get to fit whatever you want.

I'm not sure how they compare price-wise to Tour Trek, but they last forever and any wearable parts are easily replaced.

Awesome! Thanks! Any particular model? Golf Galaxy currently has $20 off so just using that as an excuse to pull the trigger. Only absolute requirement for me is a drink holder lol

And do they fit pretty much any bag? Right now I have an old skinny flimsy bag but like I said I will be upgrading in the future.

Newest one is 3.5 I think? I have a 3.0 but anyone 3.0 and above will be great. I don't think they have different models - it's just improvements on their orginal design.

A drinkholder came with the cart when I bought it - there's room for 3 more though They have a design that makes room for a lot of accessories.

And yes, they'll fit pretty much anything. Bags are secured with movable mounts with elastic bands.

Regarding pants I think the Champion C9 pants at Target are great and are 39 bucks, got them for 29 on sale.

So helpful. Thanks so much. Just to be clear this is the one you're talking about right? Gonna pull the trigger

The other "models" they have are:

Seems golfgalaxy doesn't like GDPR because all I get from those are

"We're sorry to say that due to the General Data Protection Regulation, visitors from your location are unable to browse our web store."

But as long as they're official Clicgears, they should be fine. Hopefully other clicgear-users who golfgalaxy deem worthy can chime in to make sure though...


Edit: It's the 3.5+ from this link: http://www.clicgear.com/pushcarts/

LFC,

your first link is the correct link. get the 3.5.
four wheel models of any manufacturer are inferior to three wheel models, imo.
three wheels are so much easier to maneuver when on the course and are actually more stable.

Awesome! Thanks so much guys. Ordered the Clicgear 3.5 in beautiful blue lol! Can't wait for it to get here. Going to speed up the rounds where I can't get on til 6:30 and just trying to beat the sunset so much.

My Clicgear 3.5+ was great, then I let the gf take it one time last summer and she mucked it up somehow. Now when any bag sits in place, the frame depresses enough that the top of the middle tire rubs against the bag. Essentially makes it a stubborn mule to push. Honestly can't figure out a fix for it, other than somehow propping the bag up precariously to not rub which means constantly readjusting or making sure it doesn't slip off.

there's an app for that

Nice, friend

I have three rounds in on my Shot Scope V2. I love this thing. Currently on sale for $160. https://shotscope.com/us/

Bought a cheap used Sonartec 3 wood off the bay the other day, should arrive this week. Thankfully there haven't been any eBay coupons in a minute, that's cut down the rate at which I buy random clubs.
