I got an email from some company called "Club Lender" today. They are in California, and service only California. 

What they do is, they will rent you a complete set of clubs, including the bag. They will then drop ship the set to an address you provide. When you are done, you ship the clubs back to them.

They are targeting golfers visiting California, who do not want to haul their clubs. Them, and folks who want to try out a set of premium clubs. I think they three different brands of high end clubs available. The user can take their pick of club brands in different flexes. Not sure about lie angles.

I no longer have any desire to visit California, so it's a service I would not use. It does sound interesting however.

Interesting concept and certainly something that might be successful in CA.  Most airlines are charging at least $25 each leg of a trip.  I just looked at their website and PXG's rent for $200/day, Titleist, Callaway, and Taylormade $65-75.  So, factoring in not having to haul your own clubs through airports, the cost difference is reasonable.  $200 for PXG's... paleeeze. :no:

I think those prices are just for the first day of use, and include the to, and from shipping charges. If you rent the clubs for more than one day, the extra days are less expensive, per day. I don't know anything about the PXGs, but $200 for day one does seem high.

Yes, it does include all shipping and subsequent days are about 1/3 less.  The PXG price aside, they must have one hellava deal going with FedEx. UPS, etc. to be able to make any profit.  All I know about PXG is that no one makes golf clubs like they do... period. Much like fly fishing, there is a high end market that sells though the disclaimer should be "we hope you enjoyed our business as much as we enjoyed giving it to you". :-D

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!

      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
