Hey all-

My story: I played golf a lot of my young life. I was on the golf team in high school, and was an average guy on the team. I pretty much gave it up after that. I just started playing again (about 2 months) and am looking for new clubs. I still have my original Cobra oversize from when I was 15. I am getting better but need to improve, shot a 90 yesterday. Typically I hit a very high arching shot, but do not have much control issues. My biggest problem since I have been back has been distance.

The clubs: I have narrowed my selection down to two clubs: (1) titlelist ap1 710 USED , or (2) Cobra s3's NEW

I was planning on buying used from global golf ? If you have any comments about this please let me know.

After hitting both clubs I think I like the feel of the ap1's better. Plus I have been told they will play a bit lower shot which will increase distance.

However my heart is with the S3 irons. I love the look of the s3's and have always played cobra.

Also I am taking into account the factor of new vs used.

I am leaning towards the used ap1 710's but please let me know your opinions

TX in advance

Man, I mean its not all about looks. If you can admit to yourself that you hit the AP1s better then go for the AP1s dont kid yourself with looks. As well for me it would be hard to compare a Titleist iron to anything else, but thats just me.

I dont disagree. However I am concerned about buying used a bit

Globalgolf have videos which show in deatil what you can expect.

They are a great company to deal with.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I purchased an R9 3 wood from them. I bought it in "excellent" condition, and when I received it, it looked brand new. I didn't even see a ball mark on the face or a paint chip on the top of the face. Knowing someone who bought a fake R11 driver, the first thing I did was pop the head off and inspected the inside of it just to see if there was anything fishy and thankfully I didn't see anything at all. My order came very quickly, and the price was the best that I could find around at $70 including shipping (being left handed is nice because they have a 25% off coupon that you can use). I had absolutely no problems with them, and would definitely get something from them again.

Unless you live right next to them. If you live in NC you have to pay tax and shipping. They will not let you just walk in the door and purchase.

Craigslist, Callaway preowned, and Golfsmith are great for preowned but Golfsmith will not negotiate in pricing at all.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
