Ha, good question. Rain suits are, as most things in golf, ridiculously expensive.

I've got FootJoy pants and some FootJoy, Mizuno, and Adidas tops. They all work for different temperatures, moods, etc. Zero Restriction is good, of course, too. You get what you pay for...

For more serious rain gear then what the golf stores sell for "sun showers" go to REI  or similar outdoors supply store. If that isn't robust enough try West Marine. Both are expensive but far higher quality.

I'm looking for grips that work well soaking wet. (Winn Lites are ok, but there must be better)  Forget wiping them down with a towel, that's soaked too. Everything's soaked but me.

I'm a big fan of the Zero Restriction line.  If you buy it retail, it is expensive, but if you don't need it right away and can be patient, The Golf Warehouse will put it on sale and you can get if for less than 50% off.  I have a wind resistant vest, short sleeve rain top, rain pants, wind resistant pullover and a rain coat and I paid less than 50% of the retail cost on all of them and a couple of them 75%.  Also check out eBay, they have some very good deals on ZR clothing.

I find "rain gloves" (i use the footjoys) essential when it's wet.  The material really does offer a quite good grip on rainy days...they're better than when dry actually.  They're not good for cold though...almost like the material keeps the cold/wetness locked next to your hands.

I like ZR jackets and SM rainflex pants

ZR - Zero Restriction

SM - Sun Mountain

I found a consistent source on ebay for ZR; you can normally find SM on the bay, too.

I bought a golf rain suit from Dick's Sporting Goods (by Tommy Armour). I have been using it for two month's. It cost a total of $54 for the top and bottom (yes they are sold as a set). I advise you to go into the store wearing your normal golf gear (pants preferred) and then put the rain suit on and make sure it still fits loosely. I have played in pouring rain and have not gotten wet, even when I sit on a wet cart seat or bench on the course. I comes with a hide-away hood.

    • 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?
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 18 Index My typical ball flight is: Slice/Fade with a driver and FW. Generally straight with irons, varies some days left or right. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Driver slice. Videos:   
    • What are the best drills to practice awareness for club face control? This one came to mind after remembering a bit from the latest release of the podcast. I also think that I have poor club face to path awareness. 
    • What is the best way to practice short game shots if you don’t have a green available to practice on? Should you also film your short game swings and putting practice?
