Getting a new set of Golf Clubs

  • sf2k4 said...

    A lot of guys at the club just switched over to those RocketBladez by TaylorMade. I'm using my dad's older set of Calloway Big Bertha irons and I love 'em, along with a set of Cleveland wedges. God knows how old they are. lol


    I have the RBZ 3 wood. That thing flies. Also with blades. If you skull it, or it off. You're going to feel them. I used to play with blades. I love my Razor X Tours. They're ba cavity back. But I get the same amount of control with the ball, but with more forgiveness.

  • What level is your game at?

    If you're not worried about really shaping shots and just want a straight shooting iron that is accurate then Ping G15 or Mizuno JPX800 irons are amazing.

    If you are looking for more control then Adams CB2 or Titleist AP1 are awesome.

    I'd always buy a year old as well. The technology hasn't improved to justify spending more on the brand new models.

    I've always wanted to buy a set of AP1s. If only they weren't so damned expensive.

    Go play Pacific Dunes. Better than both and probably cheaper.

    Is that up with Bandon Dunes?

    scotland is great.

    melbourne australia is a great trip too. go during the aussie open, check out some great tennis and they have multiple great old alister mackenzie courses in that city including royal melbourne which was rated top 5 course in the world for many years. i played many in that city, but wasn't able to play royal melbourne

    I have been to Melbourne a few times but never been able to play golf while there.

    Yes, PD, BD, and Old Mac Donald. Most prefer Pacific Dunes out of the three.

    lol I heard course was overrated, like Pebble(not including view)

    Pinehurst is amazing. Way way better than pebble from a design perspective. It just redone. Golf as its supposed to be played.

    Actually golf as its supposed to be played is links style, IMO

    Those courses get crazy reviews. My dream is to somehow get to play Sandhills here in NE. Then The Prairie Club and Dismal River here.

    I have actually never played Pebble Beach. Probably never will either. Just not worth it to me. There are several American course that are higher on my must play list.

    I also heard there's a 13 hole three par and a 5th big course that's not quite finished yet

    you clearly don't understand pinehurst. Watch the US Open. You will love it.

    If you consider pebble beach a links style course then you don't get what a true links style course is. The fact that a course is next to water should have no baring on how good the course is. It is the style you must play in order to get the ball in the hole that determines if a course is a links course. If you watched Snedekers play last weekend you will understand he didn't hit many shots that you would consider "traditional links" style golf shots

    He was not calling Pebble Beach a links course.

    And I hated the US Open at Pinehurst. The USGA should never go near table top greens again.

  • I have Mizuno MP 57"s and I'll tell you that they are overrated. I lost a full club's distance from my Callaway's, so I had the Mizuno's strengthened. You do get more consistent ball flight & distance control, but if you're not an advanced player, then that stuff really doesn't come into play.

  • Pinehurst 2 was designed by Donald Ross , born in dornach Scotland and inspired by royal dornach. Royal dornach , I have played, has the table top greens like pinehurst, which I haven't played

    Just my two cents

  • I'm referring to the new pinehurst.

    What, you want the pros to put on 11's like the do every other week? As long as the greens arent as firm as they were at shinnecock, then make them as fast as possible.

    you post a wiki page for a pga professional to read,

    thats cute

    listen, links golf is hard to come around these days. The equipment and the demand for perfect lush fairways and greens has essentially destroyed 'links style' golf that you would see played at places like Royal Country Down or Dornoch. There are very few left. Bottom line is Pebble Beach may have links in its name, and it may be by water, but its not a place where you play links golf. You play pebble beach the same way you would play Medinah, in the air.
