Hey all-

My story: I played golf a lot of my young life. I was on the golf team in high school, and was an average guy on the team. I pretty much gave it up after that. I just started playing again (about 2 months) and am looking for new clubs. I still have my original Cobra oversize from when I was 15. I am getting better but need to improve, shot a 90 yesterday. Typically I hit a very high arching shot, but do not have much control issues. My biggest problem since I have been back has been distance.

The clubs: I have narrowed my selection down to two clubs: (1) titlelist ap1 710 USED , or (2) Cobra s3's NEW

I was planning on buying used from global golf ? If you have any comments about this please let me know.

After hitting both clubs I think I like the feel of the ap1's better. Plus I have been told they will play a bit lower shot which will increase distance.

However my heart is with the S3 irons. I love the look of the s3's and have always played cobra.

Also I am taking into account the factor of new vs used.

I am leaning towards the used ap1 710's but please let me know your opinions

TX in advance

Man, I mean its not all about looks. If you can admit to yourself that you hit the AP1s better then go for the AP1s dont kid yourself with looks. As well for me it would be hard to compare a Titleist iron to anything else, but thats just me.

Globalgolf have videos which show in deatil what you can expect.

They are a great company to deal with.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I purchased an R9 3 wood from them. I bought it in "excellent" condition, and when I received it, it looked brand new. I didn't even see a ball mark on the face or a paint chip on the top of the face. Knowing someone who bought a fake R11 driver, the first thing I did was pop the head off and inspected the inside of it just to see if there was anything fishy and thankfully I didn't see anything at all. My order came very quickly, and the price was the best that I could find around at $70 including shipping (being left handed is nice because they have a 25% off coupon that you can use). I had absolutely no problems with them, and would definitely get something from them again.

Unless you live right next to them. If you live in NC you have to pay tax and shipping. They will not let you just walk in the door and purchase.

Craigslist, Callaway preowned, and Golfsmith are great for preowned but Golfsmith will not negotiate in pricing at all.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.
