I just got one yesterday from Golfsmith's Black Friday sale, whoohoo!! I haven't used it yet, but its charged and ready to go. I was debating between the Sky Caddie 5S and the Golf Buddy Tour, since they're the same price, but the Golf Buddy already comes pre-loaded with all the courses and NO annual membership fee.

Is one better than the other? Maybe its just preference perhaps? 50% may like the Sky Caddie better and the other 50% will like the Golf Buddy better...............

They also had good stuff on sale as well last night, I got a LW for 50% off :) and my BF got a TaylorMade Burner for a great price and a new LW as well. I think its Titlelist that has the wedges in those cool platinum, silver, etc. plated colors? They look nice :)

I don't own either but have used two different Sky Caddies and three different Golf Buddies and prefer the later, basically because there is no fee for the buddy. Both have any course I will ever play. Golf Buddy just doesn't require you to pay more to get them. Quality and features that I use seem to be about the same. Only problem I had with any of them was I couldn't get lay-up distances with the small Buddy. It may do it but I couldn't get it to during the nine holes I played with it. It also wasn't pre-loaded but that isn't a big deal. I plan on getting the black and white Buddy before the weather gets warm.


pingman-- When you are on your own and out of that crummy excuse of a town and paying for everything yourself your decisions on several things may change.

      When does a 'non-conforming' club become just another piece of metal or plastic?

      My Swing (Retoid)

      By retoid · Posted

      This is my second year playing golf, I started last season but have always struggled with a slice. I've tried multiple things to try and fix the slice: Closing the face. Rotating my right hand out or clockwise in the grip. Keeping the club head low in my back swing. Focusing on a straight swing path. Trying the straighter arms like Bryson D. (as seen in the videos above) Trying to not let me hips get too far ahead of my down swing. Trying to keep my shoulders down until after I've made contact with the ball. Etc. I recently changed to the straighter arms which has helped me adjust away from such a drastic slice. So it has helped a bit. Before that, I was trying to keep the club head low in the back swing and this was the most helpful in correcting the slice, however it drastically removed power and distance in the strikes and would even sometimes result in a hook. About a couple months ago I had a single lesson with my driver and learned some helpful things, but have since struggled to perform what I learned well. One of the things in the lesson was to keep my shoulder down more in the the down swing until after making contact with the ball. This would help the slice a bit, sometimes drawing the ball. To even it out, I was instructed to rotate my hips a bit earlier in the down swing. What I have noticed however with the earlier hip rotation is that it's really hurting my lower back a lot. Since backing off on that it's helped not injure my low back as much. I believe my main issue might possibly be the swing path, being a Pull Slice.   See above, was mid typing when you posted. I have never watched Moe Norman's swing to be honest. I have never measure my hip rotation, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on that after you read about my hip rotation / back pain issue.

      Two questions… Are you trying to swing like Moe Norman? What's your hip turn like? Have you ever measured it?
