Two weeks ago I was in Myrtle Beach during a rain storm that cut one round to 9 holes of miserable golf. Unfortunately, I did not have a rain suit and my "waterproof" rain jacket was soaked and didn't prove to be too waterproof after 7 holes. Generally, I can tolerate the rain but it this case I was just too wet and thought that with better gear I may have played all 18 and make my other rain soaked rounds more enjoyable.

Does anyone have experience with Zero Restriction rain gear? Can it withstand 18 holes of steady rain, maybe heavy at times? Does it give great freedom of movement? Is it worth the $$$?

What other brands/models of rain gear do you own survives 18 holes of steady rain, maybe heavy at times? Does the gear allow you to swing the club freely?

I love the Dryjoys stuff by Footjoy. I have the rain shirt (long sleeve) which has a quarter zip at the top, rain paints, rain gloves, bucket hat, and recently bought a Dryjoys waterproof fleece.

I swear by the stuff, and yes I have played in some pretty heavy rain. If you're in a brusing storm, some water may still creep in from the top of the jacket. Sorry, but I have not tried the ZR stuff. I bought the rain shirt first, and it worked so well I gradually just added the rest of the pieces. The stuff is not cheap - rain shirt was $120, pants were $150 (?), fleece was $110, but in my opinion they are worth it because they work.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
