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.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
