You had a PING all along?!? I should have paid attention. If you just have the new club bug try getting it regripped-makes it seem different and brand new. If you really want something new and non-PING then the Cleveland Classic is the way to go.

yea got it for free along w/some other clubs. I gotta get it cut down to like 33" tho. Maybe thats why I dont love it cause it seems long.

In my bag:
R9 Driver 10.5 - R-Flex - Graphite
R9 3 & 5 Woods - R-Flex - Graphite
Tight Lies GT 2-8 Irons - R-Flex - Steel
Tight Lies IDEA A1 56* Sand Wedge - Steel Ascent 2 48* Pitching Wedge - Graphite IC 20-10B Mid Mallet 33" Dura Feel V Glove NXT Tour Ball

Ping karsten series.

Agreed. You can usually find good deals on them and they are certainly a quality putter.

Go to a golf store and just hit a bunch of different types.
Mallets, mid-mallets, blades, 2-ball, center and back shafted, milled, inserts . . .
You get the idea. Dont worry about brand but what 'looks' and feels good.
Once you find a type when worry about brand.

What's in my sweet Sun Mountain Bag

3-Wood: Burner
5-Wood: G10
Hybrids: 23 26 Gold Pro Irons: Slingshot 6-A Wedge: 54 & 58 Scratch  Putter: White Ice #1 Gotta have balls: Vapor

Don't be too proud to try a "mid" length putter. I like the 43 inch models. I started with a cheap off brand, went to an Odyssey blade, and just in the last couple of weeks to an Odyssey 2-ball. To me, this underhand toss motion is the natural way to putt, and I think more people would use it if they didn't think it looked goofy, or unmanly, or who knows what. Right now there are Odyssey 2-balls that are selling on eBay for $55 to $85, plus shipping. Got mine for $62, and I think it's going to be one of my best equipment buys ever.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
