    KBS custom series color durability

    Thinking about ordering some new KBS wedge shafts, and considering going with the custom program using the matte or pear white shafts. Anyone have any real world use with these and how they look after a season or so? Sent from my SM-G973W using Tapatalk

    Whats your weather limit?

    Really want to play some golf tomorrow but the forecast is looking gloomy up here. I do have some good rain gear and only live 2 minutes from the course so I think I'll go out and brave it, at least try 9 and see how it is. What's your weather cutoff?

    What's your method to consistent tee height?

    Something maybe overlooked, but can make a significant difference in ball contact off the tee. How do you guys make sure you get a consistent tee height every time? Do you use stepped tees? your pinky as a measuring guide? Holding your driver beside the ball? Brush Tee? or do you just "know"...

    What required shot makes you the most/least confident standing over?

    As the title says, there's always a shot that you love or hate to hit, so what are they? For some reason to me, there's just something about an 8i that is perfect. 165 yards from a tight lie and i'll be licking my chops with the 8i in hand. Set up for a small fade that flies high, cuts about...

    Have you caused property damage on a golf course?

    No i'm not talking about laying the sod over the ball, but how many of you guys have caused property damage while on a golf course, maybe more specifically as a result of a golf shot and not just rolling carts over? Eg. shank one into a house-lined course and broken a window etc. etc. When i...

    The Caddy Alignment Check

    I know it's within the rules, but does it bug anyone else and should the rules be changed about it? I tend to see it mostly on the LPGA, but it feels almost too infringing on coaching during the round. Heck these people are the best in the world and i think it should be part of the game that...

    Callaway & Marketing the game for all

    Looks like callaway is again pushing the industry to appeal the game to the masses, attempting to grow the game in a time when it's of course seen it's struggles. The avenues they're pursuing to do so however are seeming to branch out more than the typical stereotype "golfer" and perhaps...

    Let's see those headcovers!

    An afterthought for some, but an interest for many are the headcovers you choose to rock in your bag. With so many choices, there's bound to be some interesting ones come up here. Do you use the ones you have because it means something, you like the color, it's funny, or it's unique? Or...

    Par 5 hole designs that you love or hate?

    So this spawns from playing with a bunch of THPers this past weekend at coronado golf course in San Diego. I believe it was the 14th hole, a par 5, and the general consensus from the group was that it was a terribly designed hole. OB down the right side of the hole (in the middle of the...

    Put my clubs onto a swingweight scale for the first time: Results inside!

    So i've always been a tinkerer with my clubs, and learned to do as much of my own work as possible. Started with regripping, then re-shafting, shaft pulling etc etc and i like to think that i'm an ok hobbyist club builder. However, there was one thing i would never do and that was check...

    Maltby Loft/Lie Machine - Anyone know anything about this model?

    I've been looking for a way to get my hands on a loft/lie machine for the small amount of club tinkering i do for myself/friends/a few customers who don't trust the big box stores. I would of course love to have a newer mitchell machine or a true blue etc, but i just can't justify the cost...

    Slightly Open Stance To Target Line

    Does anyone else here sometimes struggle with keeping all the lines square to target, and instead benefit from having the stance open to target? I know guys will close the stance to accentuate with hitting a draw, but for me, for some reason i've found that a slightly open stance can yield me...

    From 6M3 -> 60Q4 or Kiyoshi White...what can i expect?

    So i've been playing the 6M3X shaft for a few years now in a couple heads. First was a cleveland classic XL Custom, and then its currently now in my ping anser 8.5* head. It was damaged in a pull one time, so i ended up having to tip it about 1-1/8", and an extension in the butt. I don't know...
