I'm looking for recommendations on balls, grips, or other  types of equipment that you all like that are not from a big name company. Most people will use Taylormade, Titleist, Callaway clubs, etc. but there is a growing market for smaller name companies. For example, four years ago, not many people knew what Parsons Golf (PXG) was and now they have a dozen or more tour pro's on staff.

What recommendations do you all have?

Snell for golf balls.  I use the "Get Sum" ball;  it replaced the Bridgestone e6 in my bag.  I know others who have gone from ProV1s to their MTP ball.

It helps the founder of PXG was founded by Bob Parsons, founder of GoDaddy. Not really small when you consider the person who founded the company. That would be like if Walmart started a small golf company. ;)

I never heard of Cut golf balls until @billchao told me. No review yet though, got a box and will try next round. Great price though. Also, when I got the balls in the mail, while they came in boxes of three, they were not packed in boxes of 12, so less packaging, which is fine by me.

I'll second @saevel25, have bought many sets of Pure Grips.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I don't really think of Edel as a company no one has heard of, but yeah, I love my Edel putter.  I was nervous with it at first because I knew if I hit a bad putt, that was on me not the putter.  Eventually I came to become a good putter.  My only zero-strokes-lost putting round came with it too, and that was before I was a good putter :-) 

Pure Grips I keep meaning to get into.  I even bought a set and the gun but I didn't get the air compressor.  Anyone in So Cal want to let me use theirs to regrip a few?  ;-)

Nice thread ...

Balls: Snell - great performance and pricing, MTB, Get Sum

Fairways: Tour Edge Exotics EX10, or if on budget, Tour Edge Hot Launch 3 (hit them on a monitor and was surprised), HL 3 Irons, too.

Wedges: Edel, Artisan, New Level

Putter: Edel, TP Mills Custom, Directed Force Reno (it is a good putter but it overstates its claims)

Shaft: TPT Golf

Grips: Pure, Best Grips (leather), Lamkin (okay, well known but they are not Golf Pride), lots of Japanese Grips but not worth it, imho

      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)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
