Best equipment purchase... EVER!?

[sirshanksalot]

Wanted to see what club you purchased that has surpassed your expectations on your shots and helped your overall confidence and has become a staple club in your bag.

Mine is currently my 3 hybrid... it's so consistent that I have started to tee off on a lot of the par 4's knowing that i'll have a great chance for a birdie putt after my approach shot.

Oh thas easy. The 51 degree Mizuno MPT forged wedge I recently got. I can hit it 105 full, and can control it to where I can hit it 90-100 also. Never had a forged wedge and it just feels amazing. I try to leave about 90-100 yards now on every hole I can.

SirShanks, where do you usually play?

[sirshanksalot]

My home course is Northwest and I usually play in the area municipal courses and on occassion I pony up and pay to play in some of the nicer ones.

I am going to say my 5-wood. It is the most consistent club for me and the most versatile. I can use it from the tee, from the rough, fairway and I hit it 220. It is also the only club in my bag that I can put a draw on.

Nice course - from the blues it looks like a very healthy yardage... surprised the rating and slope are so low on there. Can you cut the corners (over the trees) on some of those longer holes?

Also, on second thought, my most consistent club has been and probably will always be my old old 300 tour tm 3w. my go to club when i can't get off the tee - which is plenty of times...

[sirshanksalot]

Wannabe, you can definitely cut some corners over trees if you can manage a higher trajectory tee shot. Overall, it's a very feel good course with very wide and forgiving fairways. Where do you usually play?

[Wannabe Paper Tiger]

I live in NoVa, so I usually play either Fairfax National or Penderbrook (I am never going there again though - sooo crowded). I played quite a few courses in NoVa though and really liked Stonewall --- it's just wayyyy too expensive.

Come June if you or I go to each other's backyards let's tee it up! :)

i am going to be specific--the best purchase that i believe --is the Adams Golf Tom Watson wedge set--the wedges provide more release than the average wedge--fantastic price--one of the best buys equipment wise

Me too!

well, except for the hitting it 220 part. Hell, I'd be happy if I consistently hit my driver that far. But I love my 5 wood and find it FAR easier to hit than any hybrid I've ever tried.

Does training equipment count? Because if so, the Z-Factor wins for me, hands down.

That looks like a really useful trainer... but $300? Wow. I just checked ebay and couldn't find a single one, so I guess people are usually pretty satisfied with their purchase. I wonder if someone makes a less expensive clone?

It's well worth it. Let's get back on topic now... Feel free to start up a "Z-Factor" thread if you want.

My irons or my putter. Both were pretty cheap and are going to be in the bag for a long time

20 minutes a night and anyone can hit it straight.

Same here - I got a TW Nike hat and it allows me to hit a stinger off the tee whenever summoned...hehe

Really, tho - my 54* Cleveland is probably my choice....sooo versatile :)

Im going to go with my titliest 695cb irons. My game really took off when i started using those clubs. I was shooting in the high 80's low 90's before I owned them, and within 2 months of working with them at the range and playing I broke 80 for the first time - and went after on to shoot 6 strait rounds in the 70's. That is where I shoot most of the time today. I think the clubs had alot to do with me adjusting to make a proper swing. I will probalby replace them at some point, but ill never get rid of them.

I would have to say my Odyssey putter for sure, i used to use an 50yo Dunlop thing and never thought a putter could make so much difference
