The golf thread...

What grips do you use? I've never really given mine much thought, I'm still using the original Ping grips on my irons. I did have my putter re-gripped this year and it made a huge difference. Don't think I'll re-grip my irons as I'm hoping to replace them soon anyway.

Irons and woods, I use Golf Pride Tour Velvet Align. 

I have a Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 Counter Core on my putters. 

Actually, I lied, I haven’t regripped my m4 yet. So that has just a normal Tour Velvet grip. 

Also, I have a 2016 M1 3 wood I’m trying to unload if anyone is interested. Stock photo below. I don’t have any of the actual club saved on my phone. But it’s easily 8.5/10 condition. 

I'm liking the look of the following grips. If I decide to keep my irons for one more season I'll likely re-grip with whichever of these two feel better.

Considering picking these up for Christmas as an off season workout program to increase club head speed.

I’ve heard really good things. But way out of my price range.

I can get 10% off but it still is pretty expensive. Especially when you factor in a $120 radar to calculate swing sweed. Considering running a training program when my work opens our new sports performance clinic and I can get them for $150.

Few things feel better than blistering a good 3 “Wood” on the 2nd shot of a long par 5. Love the feel.

That’s a nice club justin....shell it out if you don’t have a good one you can hit

Just checked the crown. Do not like the white/black combo at address.

I didn’t think I would like it either, but it didn’t bother me at all. Didn’t really even notice. I had an M1 driver too. 

BTW I still use my golden bear 3 wood from my first adult set of clubs back in 1987. It’s stunning lol

Anyone golf when it's very cold? I'm on my own for 5-6 hours tomorrow, but it's gonna be in the low to mid 30s. I checked golfnow and every tee time in the area is essentially open. Would be nice to have a course to myself, have myself a long practice round.

In response to Justin’s question concerning a golf rule change and leaving the flagstick in while putting.

I think in a few rare instances, I may leave it in on some longer/downhill type putts, but I don’t foresee it happening a great deal in tournament golf. I think the spirit of the rule change was to allow golfers to putt without waiting on a fellow golfer to attend the flagstick. Hopefully, by doing so, might speed up the pace of play for the average round of golf. Also, an attempt to make the rules less “stuffy” to new players, which is important in growing the game going forward.

Played in the chilly weather yesterday. I got to the course at 11:30 and there was a 6-some getting to the first tee box and a foursome loading up their carts at their vehicles. The group of 6 let me play through and I had the course to myself from then on. I was playing poorly through 5 holes and decided to stop keeping score and just play a practice round. I started playing a couple balls on each hole and my shot making ability improved tremendously. I also made a few adjustments in my swing that I think will end up helping me going forward. I would always end up scooping the ball with my irons. I adjusted my swing so that I was actually hitting down on the ball and my slice disappeared. I would leave it short every once in a while, but it was always on target. I also adjusted my driver swing that essentially corrected my slice. Some shots still had a slight fade, and I wasn't always consistent, but the ball was usually very playable for my second shot.

Playing a 2nd or even 3rd ball can help a good bit. Fun to see how an easy 7 is often better than a needed long 8
