First like to thank everyone in here who has read and answered my barrage of newb club questions. The input is greatly appreciated (and usually taken to heart)

OK, So I got my semi shiny, new to me irons (NVG2 Mids 3-SW, no LW) and was wondering what would be best to drop in the bag next- here is what i have in total, and leads on what i can get reasonably priced (Used clubs in Calgary are NOT the norm, so one has to really keep an eye out)



In the garage at the moment-

Nikent 3dx 10.5 loft 460 driver (I leave this at home when i play as my slice with it is so bad it effects the earths rotation)

Jazz Bearcat 3 wood (not impressed with this, but at 10 bucks new, It was hard to resist)

Nike ignite 7 wood (Love this club)

Macgregor NVG2 Mid irons set 3-SW (Very impressed so far, and in 1 round have noticed a big diff. overall in my short game)

55 and 60 Wilson RPM wedges (Hate them, and looking for replacements)

Taylormade tour preferred irons- 1I-PW - all permanently placed far away from my golf bag for now...

Taylormade Tour Preferred putter... so far it hasnt destroyrd my game

I have a lead on 1h and 5h Heavenwood Hybids, and was thinking of replacing the 3 wood and maybe my 3 iron with them-


Any other club suggestions/replacement recomendations? Thanks in advance as always!

If your not happy with your wedges then I would change those first. Getting better wedges for you will definitely help your game in a more drastic way then your other club changing options.

    • Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know! 
    • Yeah. I'm not sure what Vishal is really talking about with the "constrained" COM. The club's COM doesn't really change much. Less than the body's does… We definitely apply force to the golf club to move it both translationally (linear force) and rotationally (torque) to the golf club. That's what Manzella's alpha/beta/gamma is all about. Even before they switched the reference frame from the global to the club-based one. 😉 
    • Any time you apply a force to an object that is not directly through the COM, you're applying a torque. Take a car for example. If a car is moving and you hit the brakes, the only contact point is on the ground. The brakes make the tires slow down which applies a force backwards at ground level. Since that force is not applied directly to the COM, it also applies a torque, which makes the car rotate forwards. The suspension at the front applies another torque upwards to fight against that twist (because the ground is in the way). You can feel the front end of the car dip when you brake. Then, when you stop braking and that force is no longer applied, the tires stop applying that torque to the car and the car feels like it rocks backwards as the suspension evens itself out. That's all torques being applied. Ignoring the twist forces applied to the club leaves you way short of being able to describe the motion. Otherwise the orientation of the club would never change.
    • I think you're getting into the coupling point or the couple of the hands, but that's a different ball of wax.
    • This will be interesting…
