actually got them in Mcguirks, really pleased with them but may try the new taylormade RAC TP wedges due out soon as the Y grooves on them are supposed to spin like crazy..

TheDoc

Well the shaft has the guys name on it and in the box it came in had a little thing saying "Your customized club" When I contacted the guy he said that it was specificly built around his setup.

Of course it might not be his setup but you wont see many in Ireland anyway =D

Hello,

Just curious: what brand of golf clubs do you use and why?

I know people use the clubs they feel confortable with.

I use Howson Woods and Calloway Irons! Reasons: both are comfortable to use and they have enhanced the distance I hit the ball!

TheDoc

we have a topic called equipment or something, should be stickied if not already.

Can an admin sticky this thread please its a really good one worth while noting......

i use cheapy dunlops and donnays coz they were discounted 80% in a local closing down sales last year. only been playing about 6 months.

although, i did buy a 9 wood and recovery iron yesterday.

GreenHorn

Great thread lads, very interesting... My bag is a bit mix and match - Recently got my first GUI of 14 but reckon I'm more lke 18... Anyway, here goes -

Driver: Ping G5 (tested one in the range and could not physically bring myself to even touch my old driver [old model McGregor that I hit just fine!] so I splashed out)... Stiff shaft, 10.5 degree. It goes farrrrrrrrrrr

3Wood: Don't carry one, it went in the trade-in for the G5!

Rescue Club: No kiddin, but I bought my rescue in LIDL! And I love the thing. Use it on tight drives and from the fairway and alot around the green - the best €20 anyone ever spent!

4-SW: Colt graphite shafts I got for a gargain €125 a few years ago. They're not bad but thinkin of switching back to steel shafts soon.

LW: Love this club, it cost me the princely sum of €12 in the Golf Factory in Cherry Orchard and has been a huge boost to my short game (I was a 23 when I bought it so that has been a huge help)

Putter: Ping, blade type. Like it alot but my lag putting is killing me (any advice welcome!). Had been using a mallet-style for a while before that which cured some insufferable putting woes but it was time to go back to the blade and I'm glad I did!

Bag: I can't remember! Bought it the same day I got my irons! Ah wait - its a plain black Top Flight!

Wet Gear: Kartel pants & jacket I won in a society event - was gonna trade em in but glad I kept em. Quality stuff!

Ball: Having used the Pro V quite a bit I have to say I can't justify spending that sorta bread on it. The best ball for performance and value - in my opinion - is the Nike distance ball. Comes in hard and soft version and is usually €20 a dozen - an excellent ball I think.

Trolley: Just bought me an electric trolley on ebay for a knock-down price. Hopefully it arrives and does the job though! Looking forward to that - I reckon an elec trolley saves ya 3 shots a game - what do you guys think?

Everyone who owns one says this but I couldn't give up carrying the bag. Mabey when i'm old and knackered


Jaysus, i never realised how much i change my clubs until i looked at it here. Not one club i had last september is still in my bag :eek:

Driver: R5 Tour TP 9.5* with Grafalloy Comp NT
3 Wood: Taylormade V-Steel 15* with Aldila NV-85 75 S
Rescue: Taylormade Rescue Mid TP 16* with Aldila NV-105 S
Irons: 3-PW Taylormade RAC CB with S300's
GW: Clevelamd 588 Gunmetal 53*
LW: Taylormade RAC Y-Cutter 60*
Putter: MD Golf "Stardust" <

Check this putter out, cost me €60 brand new and its better than the 2 Scottys I've owned.


Cost of current setup - about €1200 (the driver head cost €400 :rolleyes: )

GreenHorn

I'll soon have to change my own listing as well to add in your old 3Wood DMan!

Good God Man, for the life of me I'll never understand why anyone would want to carry their bag!! A lad said to me once that he found it easier because he didn't have to walk as far as you would when setting down a trolley etc and wheeling it around greens... I said "Son, I'm gonna tell you the same thing I told Tiger Woods when I edged him out 2&1 in our local Matchplay competition - 'Quit your yappin Kid and tee it up!' " ........... Part of that story is made up - not telling which part!
