Here in Norway, spring is really starting to show up. In my city, Trondheim, the ranges have been open in approx two weeks now. The courses will be opened within a week or two, and I am really looking forward to the first round.
Due to this, I`ve bought some gear. New balls, Titleist Pro V1, a brand new glove, Titleist Players and finally my very own 5 wood.

The 5 wood is a TaylorMade r7 CGB Max, looking like this

I am so stoked about getting back on the course now. My three first seasons as a golfer (I`m a pretty fresh one), featured bronchitis. I actually started playing golf due to bronchitis, as I had to quit soccer, swimming and cross country because of it.

Now I am 100% healty, and I am counting down the days until the course is opening. I promise, that this year will be the year I`ll make big progress.

So, what about you guys, have you bought any new gear?

I have made one hole in one this far. While you are reading this, I am most likely out on the tee trying to sink another one

What did you pay for it, and where? Ah, I wanted to sell mine.

And I am also looking in to buying a new shiny putter.

This year I've bought a new meat platter Driver, 5 wood, hydrid & a putter. I haven't played in about 8 years, until a month ago. Then I remebered that I dinged my driver so I had to get a new one . If I continue to play, I'm going to look into getting a set of Cleveland Hibore.

Well, I am anxiously awaiting a set of Ping G10 irons to be made and delivered. Replaces a set of Titleist DCI Oversizes I bought used many years ago.

Although here in Florida the seasons sort of run together...

The G10s are sooo nice... I haven't tried the irons, but I've hit the hybrid and woods and let me tell you... that club feels like magic when you hit it.

I've bought a new (used) driver (580xd), a Ping G10 15* hybrid to replace the old 3 wood I destroyed, and I have a set of Mizuno MP30's on the way. I'm also trying to decide on new wedges. My putter is fine (that's what I keep telling myself).

Lots of new stuff, but I'm just getting back into the game and haven't bought clubs in 10 years. It's time for better stuff if I want to improve.

I love the G10 hybrid, it feels so good! If I hadn't already bought so much stuff I'd consider the 18* or 21*.

    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
