Well i went over to a friend who sales used golf balls and turns out he is selling a couple of clubs, i am going to try them out friday but i wanted to get ur guys opinion on them the driver is a Titleist Titanium 975d with a Grafalloy pro lite shaft and a 9.5 degree, and he wants 25 for it and it is in great condition. The 3 wood is a synchron II fairway series 13 degree and he wants 15 for it, it is also in great condition. So let me know what u guys thank. And by the way he sold me a Dozen top flite D2s in almost new condition for $4 and bought Prov1s with small scuffs for quarter a piece.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

975D is what Tiger used many moons ago, small sweet spot and the 13 degree fairway wood is a challenge to get up in the air from the fairways, but the price sounds right.

Titleist 910 D2 9.5 Driver
Titleist 910 F15 & 21 degree fairway wood
Titleist 910 hybrid 24 degree

I had that driver & shaft (burgandy colored shaft) in a stiff flex 9.5 degree....very good driver that responded well when I tried to step on it. I don't hardly see how you can go wrong for $25.

Buy all the balls he'll sell you at those prices. I can't speak on the 3 wood.

alright so i went to play today to try them out, i did ok with the driver at the range but when i got to the course i did great! i hit everything straight and i hit it around 50 yards average more than i normally do. As for the three wood, i do a lot better off the tee with it than i do with my 3 wood and i can get more distance out of it. But this is where it gets hard, i love them both but i can only afford one (i mean i have the money to get them both but i dont think i wanna spend that much of money) so which do u guys think i should get, i have to make my final decision by sunday so please please let me know what u guys think!! thanks

I'd get the driver, the shaft is worth that! And if you hit it straight you won't need to tee off with the 3 wood. I'd say a 13 degree 3 wood is useless off the deck for 95% of amateur golfers.

alright thanks stacey, i was leaning towards that anyways, i were goin campin this weekend and where we camp they have a huge open field where u can drive (they have it marked off 100 150 and 200 yards so while everyone else fishes i will drive all day sat. lol so i will try everything out and make sure that i want it , because i also might have been hitting better cause i was hitting with a prov1 instead of top flite, but i highly doubt that a ball will make 50 yards difference lol

You don't want to pay that much? It's $40. Deal with it, most golf rounds cost more than that.

i know it is a really great deal and i agree with u but i also have to save up for a car and a couple of other things since i get my licens in april. It is a really good deal but i dont use my three wood that much anyways and i dont think that its worth it for me to get if im not gonna use it that much, but im gonna see if i can cut a deal with him if i get em both

If it was me I'd take my driver, 4 hybrid, 8 iron, sand wedge and my Remington BDL .270. And a fishing pole, and some plastic worms, and a six pack......

well i ended up taking all my clubs a did a little fishing and a lot of golfing, i practice with everything in my bag, from driver to 3 wood and 3iron-pw and also sw, i tried all kinds of different things, i think next time a go play golf i will shoot 5 or 6 lower than my normal, if i do as good as i did today and yesterday, only thing that really needs workin on now is my putting.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin.  2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing.  I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length.

      Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.!

      Wind and Putting?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that makes sense.  I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts.  I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account.  Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere.  Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.
