I hit the G30, Titleist 913 and the SLDR.  The G30 and Titleist were about the same for me in terms of carry and distance.  I did not like the sound of the SLDR at impact.

Got my G30 tomorrow. It looks great! Clubface not overly closed (or necessarily even closed at all, sorry, I mean it looks pretty darn square unlike many drivers).

The top turbulators frame the ball nicely. Subtle enough to look great, but obvious enough to look cool too.

I'm hoping to get one myself before the outting next week.

Got my G30 stuff yesterday, might put the G30 irons in play on Saturday IMO they are definitely more player-ish compared to previous G series irons.

I went through an hour and a half yesterday getting fitted for the g30 driver, only to find out that I couldn't get the specific build for me for 3 to 4 weeks. Spent another 20 minutes getting fitted for the bio cell plus and ended up with better overall numbers and they had it in stock. I didn't see that coming but I'm pretty happy. Look forward to hearing how you do with your new set though. What shaft did you end up with? I was fitted with the tour stiff 80g, the head for mine was 9* though.

Tour 80-x here.

But since shaft flex doesn't matter, next time I'm just gonna tell them to give me an A flex if they have some extras. :P

Ping Web-Fit has me in a G30 SF Tec 12 in a Tour 65 Regular... I think the SF Tec was suggested because I preferred a draw flight.

We'll see what the simulator says since no outside demo days are scheduled in my area.

They do look like great and improved clubs in both driver and fairways.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
