NOTE: This is a genuine question - I’m not being facetious or cynical…
Most OEMs release a few driver models each release cycle with different golfers in mind… for example: a low spinning model, a forgiving/draw bias model and a “standard” model.
Why is this necessary if driver head...
It’s been well documented at this point that LIV’s intention is to attract sponsors for the various teams.
My question is, can you see this idea working out and, if so, what kind of companies can you see taking the plunge and sponsoring one of the LIV golf teams?
Will one/some of the golf...
Hi guys. I was wondering if someone could help me with something… I plan to reshaft the putter in the link below (a YES! Carolyne c-groove) and I can’t find what shaft size it is… it’s an old putter and I’m struggling to find the spec to know what I’ll need. I’m talking about the size of where...
I find the equipment that tour players use when they’re not paid to use it so much more interesting than the equipment they’re paid to use.
Anyone else feel like this? Thoughts?
I regularly dream about golf - some good, some bad. Last night it was definitely bad - every time I hit an iron the shaft snapped 🤣🤣.
Anyone else dream about golf??
Custom paint jobs on irons are widely used, but has anyone ever stripped the paint off a set of irons (works best with forged blades)? Ever seen anyone with paint stripped irons? Example image below (not my image). Thoughts?
Why do manufacturers launch new gear in January? Just after Christmas when a lot of people are a bit lower on the $$. Also a time of the year where a lot of golfers in the northern hemisphere are playing a lot less because of the weather.
Wouldn’t it be better to launch in March time ahead of...
It’s in the title - what’s the best ball striking you’ve seen in person?
For me it’s a bit of a random one - David Duval. Of all the big names I’ve seen hit a ball, the sound that Duval’s iron ball striking made has stayed with me for many years.

Obviously no player has ever won all 4 major championships in the same season.
Is it more or less likely to happen now than it has been in the past? The same as it’s always been? Why?
Question in the title. I regularly played 45 holes a day in the summer when I was a junior. Occasionally play 36 in a day now but it’s very rare and I feel it!!
There’s a charity event held across the UK every year on the longest day - 72 holes in a day. I’d love to take part but not sure id...
Does anyone have any insight on how much pressure sponsored tour players come under from OEM’s to switch to new equipment? I guess it depends on the player and company and circumstances…
What if Tiger insisted on gaming SIM1? Problem for Taylormade?
To win you $1m, which pro golfer would you choose to:
1. Sink a 6 footer.
2. Hit the green from 200 yards out (from the fairway).
3. Get up and down from a green side bunker.

New/high handicap golfers are impressed by spinny shots that zip back when they hit the green.
Experienced/low handicap/pro golfers are much more impressed by an ability to take spin off a ball.
Agree?
So I was on the range at my club this weekend and the pro (who I don’t know at all, he’s just recently started at the club) was giving a lesson to a kid (8-ish).
The content for the lesson? Hitting draws and fades. The poor kid could barely get the ball off the ground and the pro thinks it’s...
