Dunlop Loco Hybrids - they were my first set of hybrids (actually my first set of clubs as well was pure loco) and they were actually good (17* and 21*) clubs. Solid off the tee and the deck.

Taylor Made TP series golf balls. I try to convert everyone I know for the distance and soft feel. I get most of my playing partners attention when I out drive them like never before!

+1 tommy armour irons! I remember in the early 90s TONS of people played them.

On a different note, overrated??? PRO V1, BIGTIME. :)

Taylor Made TP series golf balls.

I AGREE 100%! I got a box of reds last year when my gf's parents bought me my 3 wood...and they're really unbelievable balls...soft..but you still get distance...and they've got great feel...AND they don't get scuffed easily....

and for me, the most underrated clubs: Cleveland & Tour Edge. Here are the most used clubs I've seen Driver: superquad or the sumo irons: x-20's, r7 or nike blades (when these guys couldn't hit their ball.. playing blades...but we know why they're playing them) wedges: vokey's & cg's putters: white hot 2 ball and is it me or does everyone have an ogio bag? they're awesome bags though! and why..why does everyone play a prov1x.... even if they slice their ball into the trees, out of bounds, and don't have the distance/swing speed to really hit it.. i thought you're supposed to use a softer ball so you can control it around the green...but don't you need a certain swing/swing speed to make the ball spin?

Callaway wedges. All the talk is about Vokey's and CGs....but I happen to like the forged wedges that are designed by Roger Cleveland (after he sold his company) for Callaway.

I've probably said this before, but I love that Tommy Armour and Ram get some love on this forum. I love my Ayrtime driver, my FX2 irons, and FX3 putter. Too bad Ram doesn't sell any of their better stuff in the US these days.

Add another for tommy armour. I love my 845's and dont plan on selling them anytime soon. I have also used one of their drivers and it is the most consistant off the tee for me. Also,Wilson isnt as highly regarded as other companies but they make great equipment. I still use a harmonized sand wedge and I love it.

In my freestyle:
Driver: 10.5* G5 with UST V2
F.W. wood: 16* retro raylor with Aldila HM-40 Tour Gold

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
