I just got into the game and am obsessed with it! Before last summer, I had never swung a club, so I started taking lessons last July and now always try to find the time to keep working at it. I'm a lefty too and really had no idea how much the sport was dominated by right-handers!?

Anyway, this is a great site! Thanks!

welcome to the club, golf always tricks you into thinking you have "it", but then after a round of golf you realize that you still have a lot to learn. or at least thats how it seems to me.

Welcome man. There are lefties who play right-handed, and some right-handers who play left-handed, so if you're comfortable playing right handed, go ahead; otherwise, left-handed equipment is much easier to come by now than it was years ago, or so I hear.

Yeah, I do all other sports left-handed, so I didn't really think twice about golf. I just think it's funny how the left-handed section of clubs at golf stores are about 1/4th the size of the righty section! I haven't had trouble finding clubs I like though.

Awesome. Well, as long as you find the clubs you like, that's the important thing. If you're looking for courses in the LA area - I don't recall if your friend who introduced you to the game is in LA - let me know. Or there's always Google Maps.

    • Taylormade had the Aeroburner mini driver that was 253cc. The only mini driver I have owned. It was a hot beast.
    • Wilson brought out the Killer Whale driver in I think around 1991 - it was around 300cc and looked enormous at the time. I was used to much smaller. Now not so much. I think the appeal of the mini driver is a lot of drivers these days are designed not to turn over. It's hard to hit a controlled draw with them.  For a lot of pros, when they come upon a hole that favors a draw, they don't want to hit their driver because they can't (or won't) draw it. A mini driver can be their draw club and the fact that they can also hit it off the deck means it's not costing them a club in their bag to do that. It's like a mix of a 3 wood and a driver that checks two boxes for one slot in the bag.
    • The fact remains that a lot of people will buy the club. And as I noted, I play with several golfers that have mini drivers. The Callaway one is pretty big, too. It's not 280cc. 280cc is, FWIW, I think about 23cc larger than the Titleist PT driver of yesteryear. The GT 3W is 200cc, so this adds 80cc to that, while still being one of the smaller mini drivers which are often closer to 300cc or just over it.
    • 😁That’s because it’s Golfwrx 🙄…where everyone is a +12, hits is 370, and has unlimited money for new equipment!   Maybe I’ll go over there and say I ordered 12 of them 😁   Gotta keep up with the Jones over there.  As you know there are a couple other sites like that🙄. Niche audience is the perfect phrasing.  Most of the comments so far back that up.
