24yr old Oswego Illinois

New here obviously but not super new to golf. 6'1" and average build. Have every swing and club down but my driver; It's truly irritating. Of course the driver is a 10yr old Walmart club that is probably extremely poor..was never able to hit with it. Have a set of nice ironset + 5,4,3fairway woods Maxflis C3s I got from Dicks Sporting Goods. Good deal and feel great. Been lurking and feel its time to chime in and give/take from this forum. I hit my irons beautifully.. just need the big boy to fly true. Been reading on here on drivers, stances, etc.. still hoping to benefit from the info.

Welcome to the forum! We're practically neighbors as I'm in Plainfield.

Ah, nice. I was hoping to find someone on here local.

if money is tight, check for used clubs at various shops.  Stay with top brands and look for one that feels good and fits your eye.

you ever play Orchard Valley?

Yes. It's quite a course. So is Maxfli not a good brand? Golfsmith has a lot of used clubs..but I really am unsure what to look for.

depends on how deep your pockets are.  I'd say look for a Callaway or Taylor Made that's a few years old, get the appropriate flex shaft and maybe a higher loft(10) because they're easier to hit.  Have a fresh grip put on and get r done

I'll talk to my father and see if he wants these Maxfli C3s. It's a good set, but if I need to be working with a set of quality named clubs.. even used.. so be it.

I'd love to have a set of beat-up PINGs.

I thought you were just talking driver, if you're hitting the other stuff good stay with it and find a driver you can count on

I've got a couple of spare drivers. Maybe we can get together and you can give them a try.

yeah i think we were discussing two different things, ha.

I recently bought a Callaway ft-iz driver, reg flex, 45inch, 9degree.

i made another thread where i discussed it a bit more, and the problems i had with the one I returned.

but this driver is truly a solid driver, hits like a dream. i might get a new grip for it though, something more stable. still unsure whether or not the head is the way I want it.. feel like the fact that it's put together by 3-4 pieces makes me feel weary that it will fall apart.

Plainfield truly isn't far away.. i'll have to get more comfortable with my game before i play with others outside of family and close friends. Once I get my driving stance, swing, etc figured out.. I'll definitely be more confident in playing with anyone and everyone. Only piece missing.
