You know I loved this... It had highs and lows, a villain. It really did bring a tear to my eye. Sounds like you are in cahoots with warrior golf too. Do us a favor and quit treating us like we are morons.

Sounds like Warrior Golf.  I actually have a 'free' hybrid I got from them once.  Cost $24 to ship it.  I never actually hit it, but it looks nice.

Similary, a buddy of mine got one of the vouchers for hitting the green at a tourney - just like you.  It didn't mention Warrior Golf on the voucher, but when it showed up in the mail, it was a Warrior just like mine.  He actually put his into play.  He strikes the tar out of it.  Seems to have worked out for him.

I think I'm going to sell mine on CraigsList.

That's some funny stuff right there!

The club may or may not be worth $30. One thing's for sure, though -- the seller is making a profit by moving it for $30. Otherwise they would not do it.

I got an email from Warrior golf telling me to call them to get a dozen free balls because they needed testers.  This was before I knew who Warrior Golf were.   I called, told them that I'd love to try them, all they wanted was some feedback, I gave them my info and then they told me that the shipping cost would be $14.95 or $19.95 or something like that.  I laughed.  I asked the guy why would I pay the same amount for shipping to test something when I could buy so many decent balls for the same price.  What a joke.

In my bag:
Driver - Diablo Octane 10.5*
Fairway Wood - Diablo Octane 15*
Hybrid -  Edge 21*
Irons - X20's 4I - 9I
Wedges - X20's PW/SW
Putter - White Ice 1
Ball - Warbird

Sorry, but I just have a hard time with people whining about spending $30-$45 for golf clubs that actually are not bad clubs at all and play just as well as the expensive clubs, when "real" golf clubs cost over $150 a piece especially with graphite shafts.  If you don't know what you're talking about, then don't post on the site because you're spreading mis-information that might keep someone else from taking advantage of these great deals.

You know, if we keep this thread going long enough, the shill behind Johnny 2 Balls and The Big Kahuna will confuse which of his two accounts said what and will be answering his own question or agreeing with the same personna's BS.  Buddy, it's time to give it a rest - no one believes that you are some independent Joe Golfer with no ties to any of these mail order scam companies.

In my bag: - Ping G20 driver, 10.5 deg. S flex - Ping G20 3W, 15 deg., S flex - Nickent 4dx 3H, 4H - Nike Slingshot 4-PW - Adams Tom Watson 52 deg. GW - Vokey 58 deg. SW -Ping Half Wack-E putter

You've made two posts as a member here, both hawking these clubs and you want us to believe you're not a spammer.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Never practiced golf when I was young and the only lesson ever taken was a driver lesson. I feel like I'm improving every year. However, the numbers don't support my feeling about improving. I usually drop to 12-13 during the summer while playing the familiar courses around home and then go on golf trips in the fall to new courses and increase to end the year between 15-17. Been a similar story for a number of years now but hey, it's the best thing there is in life so not too bothered but reaching 9.9 is the objective every year. Maybe a few lessons and practice could help me achieve it since I pretty much have no idea what I'm doing, just playing and never practice.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am semi-loyal. Usually buy four dozen of one ball and only play that until out and then determine whether to continue or try another one. Since starting my semi-loyal path to success, I've been playing the below, not in order: ProV1 ProV1x ProV1x left dash AVX Bridgestone BXS Srixon Z-star XV I am not sure if it has helped anything, but it gives a bit of confidence knowing that it at least is not the ball (while using the same one) that gives different results so one thing less to mind about I guess. On the level that I am, not sure whether it makes much difference but will continue since I have to play something so might as well go with the same ball for a number of rounds. Edit: favorite is probably the BXS followed by ProV1/Srixon Z-star XV. Haven't got any numbers to back it up but just by feel.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      Will not do it by myself, going to the pro shop I usually use after Cristmas for input and actually doing the changes, if any, but wanted to get some thoughts on whether this was worthwhile out of curiosity.

      Driver and 3W Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      In terms of ball striking, not really. Ball striking being how good you are at hitting the center of the clubface with the swing path you want and the loft you want to present at impact.  In terms of getting better launch conditions for the current swing you have, it is debatable.  It depends on how you swing and what your current launch conditions are at. These are fine tuning mechanisms not significant changes. They might not even be the correct fine tuning you need. I would go spend the $100 to $150 dollars in getting a club fitting over potentially wasting money on changes that ChatGPT gave you.  New grips are important. Yes, it can affect swing weight, but it is personal preference. Swing weight is just one component.  Overall weight effects the feel. The type of golf shaft effects the feel of the club in the swing. Swing weight effects the feel. You can add so much extra weight to get the swing weight correct and it will feel completely different because the total weight went up. Imagine swinging a 5lb stick versus a 15lb stick. They could be balanced the same (swing weight), but one will take substantially more effort to move.  I would almost say swing weight is an old school way of fitting clubs. Now, with launch monitors, you could just fit the golfer. You could have two golfers with the same swing speed that want completely different swing weight. It is just personal preference. You can only tell that by swinging a golf club.

      Thanks for the comments. I fully understand that these changes won't make any big difference compared to getting a flawless swing but looking to give myself the best chance of success at where I am and hopefully lessons will improve the swing along the way. Can these changes make minor improvements to ball striking and misses then that's fine. From what I understood about changing the grips, which is to avoid them slipping in warm and humid conditions, is that it will affect the swing weight since midsize are heavier than regular and so therefore adding weight to the club head would be required to avoid a change of feel in the club compared to before?
