Has anyone here ever used a website to get clubs to demo? I'm considering it (not many demoing options around this area) after finding a website that does this (golfclubdemo.com). Was just curious to see if anyone here has tried it and if they would recommend this?

I think I'm going to try a few different clubs and then get fitted and order whichever ones I like the best.

not worth the money, imo. many large chains, like pga tour superstore, have playability policies. you can return anything within 30 days for full refund in store credit, or some have a 90 day 90% policy. i suggest do that if you know youre going to buy clubs.

Ok, cool! Wasn't aware of any of this. First time buying new clubs. Thanks!!

Our local golf store closed recently. Closest thing that we have is Dicks Sporting Goods (to my knowledge).

    • I have one in my bag. I put it in there for travel purposes, so if my clubs wind up not where I am I can find out where they are and hopefully get them back more easily. It now stays in there. I'm generally not too concerned about them going walkabout like this - I don't leave them unattended. I was one time at Bethpage waiting to sign in when someone came out shouting if anyone had seen their clubs since they had disappeared while they were signing in. I now leave them in my car until I'm done with signing in and go get them afterwards. 
    • Just listened to episode 19 on grip strength. Very interesting stuff. I missed what the long drive competitors grip strength is, but presumably very high.  I suspect that part of the correlation between grip strength and speed is that general body strength is likely correlated well with club head speed and it's difficult to do a full body workout without going to town on your grip. Deadlifts are frequently recommended as a good exercise to do for golf and for a lot of people grip strength is the limiting factor on what they can deadlift. Doing deadlifts will improve your grip strength, so quite plausibly grip strength and club head speed are both caused by making yourself stronger.  Do you have any charts about how grip pressure changes through the swing? I'd be interested to see that.  Lastly, last week I played a tournament round and as I played was thinking about my grip strength and I noticed I was gripping it pretty hard. Then I realized after the round (I did not play very well at all) that I had been very tense throughout my body and I'm now wondering if that tension is the cause of my poor play. I have five tournament rounds and three casual rounds in the last three months. tournament rounds are 84, 81, 80, 81, and 81. Casual rounds are 71, 70, and 72. I wonder if that's caused by tension making it past my wrists. That's a long way of saying the last little bit Erik added rang true with me.  Great episode!
    • Let's go Rors   Justin Thomas' stupid little button-down sweater with the bottom button undone is stupid
    • Eric, Man, I'm sorry. This video is just too damned boring. I don't know what's going on like half the time. I've tried to watch it a couple of times but I get like 5 to 10 minute in and realize I'm thinking about what I'm going to make for dinner or if I should do laundry on Saturday or if I should do it on Sunday. Then I try to restart it and pay attention and my mind wanders again.  I just can't get through it. Sorry, man.
