Do balls and clubs really make much of a difference...

Naa man, it's how you use them. At least that's what my GF says

That's funny...but she's lying. Size does matter in that department.

tress4 pres, been up here for 20 years and this winter is kicking my arse.

I used to play with my grandads old clubs, they were old and very well used, but as I was new it wasnt a big deal to me as I was still learning.

Then one day I get to the chance to play with some much newer beter clubs, probably added 20 yards on to every club.

Not sure about balls, Ive never seen the reasoning in buying expensive ones when there still a good chance its going into the hedges on the 1st tee

Spend your money on a quality lesson. It ain't the balls and sticks. It's the guy swinging em.

They do make a difference. However, don't go buy the newest Taylor made driver and a dozen pro vs just to hit them all in he woods on the front 9.

The equipment does make a difference. A set of game improvement irons are designed specifically to help the high handicapper who doesn't strike the ball consistently. The ball will make a difference, you don't want to use a high spin ball until you get to where your distance control and touch are consistent. I would think the irons and ball you mentioned are fine. You may want to look for a better driver and 3 wood, but don't go buy the latest greatest for $400 bucks, get a model that is maybe a year or two old and save the money. Take some lessons and get more consistent.

if you aren't serious about golf, then buy the cheapest stuff you can get. if you want to get better invest in golf lessons first…then when you get to the point you can shoot around bogey golf consistently, go have a proper fitting and get yourself in the right clubs for you

if you want to buy a new driver, don't worry about buying the latest model

golf equipment comes out every year and gets marked down a ton

look at sites like globalgolf and rockbottomgolf and you can find some cheap drivers

you can get a NEW taylormade R1 for about 190 now, when that club was 399 a year ago

no problem




my problem with golf is that i hate practicing

i'd much prefer playing 18 holes over banging a couple of buckets of balls

i'm a 7 handicap, but i feel like i could be better if i tried.....i just dont have the work ethic
