How often do you guys buy new clubs?  I bought a set of medicus hinge irons about two years ago and they are pretty much shot.  I take pretty good care off them.  I have left them out in the rain over winter but I don't think that would effect them.  The grips are crumbly because my pastor threw them in the pool at church and them were down there for like a week because I am not a strong swimmer, although i don't think the water really hurt them, it actually cleaned alot of the dirt out of the grooves.  ANYWAY, i went to the range the other day and the hinges were squeaky alot. The distance is still there but would the squeaky effect my GIR?  I called the medicus online chat room, but they were no help, just sounded like a fax machine.

I would recommend a little WD40. That should do the trik.

I would probably find another church or grab your uncle and cousin and demand that the pastor take your dunlop driver.

Was the pastor upset that you were playing on a Sunday or is he a golfer and they his clubs?    The latter is a perfectly rational explanation.

Anyway, don't swing a club that might come apart on you or if your grip might slip.  Dangerous.     4-5 years ago I was struggling with a low-loft driver and hit a bad shank.   Only later did I find that the head got knocked loose on the shaft.   Scary.

Hah this is classic.  Hope someone bites the troll bait.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 549, May 4, 2024 After lessons and working with Natalie, hit some balls for awhile. Just backswing stuff. Forgot about the slightly shorter stuff, though I'm sure it was as they were only about 75% speed with brief pauses.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
