I go avx and provvys.

Usually find a lot of these at national as well.

So yeah not an overly urgent need to buy regularly

 

[toxic]

Got 72 new Bridgestone and 24 new Callaway in the garage somewhere

Plus about 300-400 used balls in cardboard boxes

Reckon I'll buy some more

 

[Wally Walpamur]

Am I the only one here that only uses one ball (ProV1X)?

I like consistency/predicatability and not chopping and changing.

I'm still trying to find mine tbh, plus a lot of the balls I have were given to me

 

[Big Cox 88]

With all the new Covid players just head to trees at the right of a fairway in slice territory and there will be proVs everywhere.

 

[Elixuh]

I use Bridgestones, bought 14 doz earlier in the year lol.

Club covers (irons).

This pro uses iron covers — but he has a terrific reason why

Iron covers are never acceptable, especially on the bag of a professional golfer, but this pro is a heartwarming exception.

1000 pounds on an eight year old!?!

Been looking around at iron sets recently and shocked at how many retailers go 5-PW for sets. Then you take a closer look and realise the PW is like 42* leaving a massive gap to the typical wedge setup of most people with the next club often coming in at around that 52* mark.

Then of course you can buy that gap wedge separately for $200 on top of the $1000+ they're already asking you to spend.

Think of the level of golfer buying retail off the rack though. Probably don't need a full bag with perfect gapping as a casual/social golfer.

Better or more serious players I'd expect a custom fitted setup.

I'm due for new clubs and setup will likely be:

Driver - 10.5*
3WHL - 16.5*
7W - 20.5*
Utility Iron (4) - 23*
5-P w/ 45* PW
GW - 50*
SW - 54*
LW - 58*/60*

I love the idea of a utility in place of a set 4 iron. Higher launch and easier to hit.

I use a titleist driving iron as my 4i - super easy to pure.

Callaway Epic Max Star range announced. Ridiculously expensive, something like $300 USD+ per iron are the quotes I've seen online.

Also for a colour scheme that sounds great, I dont really like the look of them.

 

[peternorth]

Expect drivers to be $1000 + next year.

With no discernible difference in performance to what you could buy three years ago.

Cricket bats are over $1000. Last year one was at $1500.

Nice...I know Kari Lajosi....My kid plays footy with his son and I have been involved with coaching that group for quite a few years as an assistant.

A good man to know. His putters are exquisite and a quarter of the price of custom ordering through a company in the US. I can't wait for mine to arrive. Order placed a bit over a month ago so hopefully it's here for Christmas. I was expecting a 8-12 week wait.

Have you used one before from him? Just interested to know how to select a putter without having a roll with one to see how it feels, that would be the hardest thing in getting one I guess....I'll shoot him a message and tell him to get a move on with Wally Walpamur's putter. The Damascus electric blue look sweet.

Thanks!

I have not rolled one of his but I've pretty much based it off a Scotty Cameron T22 Teryllium Fastback 1.5 with afew more personal touches. I love the feel of a Teryllium insert but wanted a mid-mallet and my strokefits that head perfectly. To buy that Scotty Cameron off eBay/secondary market would've been $500+ more than what I paid for the Lajosi.

I have only heard great things from people that have ordered a Lajosi (GolfWRX Forum).

Please post pics of your custom Lajosi when it arrives! Love looking at all the customs on the wrx forums

I had a couple of lessons last year and my instructor suggested my irons are probably too short. I'm not in a position to buy new fitted clubs, but I'd be keen on getting some second hand ones that are a better fit.

Any suggestions on getting a basic fitting somewhere with no obligation to buy? Do places do this? How much they charge? Is this the way I should go about it? I'm in Melbourne. Cheers!

Personally I would just go into Drummond and explain you are looking to buy second hand...don't want a fitting but just need to know what length club they would suggest. i.e. standard length, half inch or inch over. Then buy second hand and be honest with yourself about the level you are at and buy clubs accordingly i.e if you shoot 20 over get an oversized easy to hit club at your length. If you go to Drummond at a quiet time....who knows they might even tell you what your lie angles should be (second hand forged irons may be able to be bent to your lie angle) and shaft flex....if you have fast club head speed or not. Who knows they might have something out the back that suits.

Most fitters cost about $150 but that is normally deducted when you buy a set.
