  1. i was slicing the soft responses too, I think I started going over the top on the swing but seem to have found my old groove again as the ball has its nice draw once again
  2. I have some Titleist Tour Speed balls after somehow picking up a slice, I've always had a draw on my drives and fairway woods, and putting a sleeve of them into the weeds. I decided to pick up a dozen of something cheaper until I got things straitened back out. I found the 2020 Taylormade soft response and picked them up. I have to say I really like these balls for $25 a dozen. I may just keep them in the bag even when I have the confidence that my long shots have straitened out which I think they have.
  3. Update on the Jr set my daughter has been using them for about a month. She has been to the range with me twice, she has hit lots of balls into the net at practice, for the last three couple of weeks she has played about 4 holes a day at practice, and 3 rounds of 9 holes with me. one of the rounds with me and my dad that was fun. yesterday was the 3rd round of 9 with me and on the 9th hole she took a mighty swing, which looked good and was rewarded with a thunk instead of a ting. the fall flew strait and pretty well just way short. a look at her driver found a crack along the top of the head right along the front edge. well she has a meet tomorrow and a cracked driver, so back to the store today to see what they can do. Little worried about the fairway wood now, she hits that the most probably half her strokes are with it.
  4. I got my 1 1/2 year old son a putter from Scheels its a size 0 from their kids line Tour something. they have drivers 7 irons and putters. He loves it, but only gets to play with it supervised. /on/demandware.static/Sites-scheels-Site/-/default/dw049304c9/images/og-scheels-icon.png Golf Putters | SCHEELS.com Shop the wide selection of golf putters for sale from top brands like Odyssey and Scotty Cameron. We carry putters for men, women, and kids! SCHEELS
  5. got after a few trips to the range got to play 9 with the new to me irons last Sunday. They played and felt really good, It is very nice to have the ball go where it is aimed. The topflite irons always went left of aim. I think I hit them a bit farther too.
  6. My 2 cents which is worth about as much as a wooden nickle is: do you like the look and feel of your current putter? if yes then keep practicing with it. if no then go try some. PIck one that you like. make sure the ball rolls strait off it. Putting is a lot mental and if the putter looks and feels good it will help.
  7. Took the daughter in again, She tested out a few sets and still liked the Tour Edge Jr. set the best so I went with them. I also found a ping ladies anser putter on the used rack and picked it up for a good price too for her. She was grinning from ear to ear at the set and loves the putter. We got all the goods to go in the bag too: Tees, ball markers, divot repair tool. club brush and a towel. And with the advice of the sales man she got a dozen Taylormade Kalia balls. Now if spring would decide to stick around for more than a day or two we can get out and get her some practice.
  8. During the summer of covid 2020 my daughter went to the range a few times with me and played a couple of evening rounds with me. I thought it was because there was nothing else to do and the fact that she didn't play at all last summer made me think that was true. Honesty I didn't get much golf in last summer either. Well she surprised me by saying she wanted to go out for golf. (she is a freshman this year) The set she used in 2020 was an ancient set one of my sisters used, I mean this set had wooden woods. So off to the golf shop and sporting goods stores we go. My daughter is 5ft 1inch tall and about 102 pounds. Ladies clubs were a bit long and heavy for her, Jr sets were a bit short and toy like. No one had any petite sized clubs in stock for her to swing, but then at the golf shop the sales person mentioned a tour edge jr set they stock, he pulled out the blue set for 11-14 year olds. I shrugged and let her swing away with them. She loved them. the lengths were good and she liked the weight of them. The clubs actually looked decent much better than the top flite sets not pings or mizuno, but pretty good. Being the dad I am i even took a few hits with the 9 iron and they felt pretty good too. A little about her high school, it is small, they usually have to beg girls to go out to fill a team so making the team isn't really an issue. but well can a high school girl show up with a jr set, of a diver, 3 wood, hybrid, 7, 9, iron and sand wedge, do ok? I think she has a few more inches of growth in her yet probably in the next year based on family history. Oh and the budget is tighter since her twin has to be out fitted for track as well. I'm thinking I can upgrade and add to the set as she grows. thinking I may have to go back tomorrow or Monday and make a purchase.
  9. The New to me Mizuno MX-25s arrived so after inspecting them I compared the Mizuno 7 iron with the top flite 7 iron. The Mizuno is lighter and all around sleeker looking. I can't wait to hit a few balls with them. Even the grooves of the old club felt sharper. Here are some comparison pictures:
  10. The new to me irons arrived today, They look and feel to be in great shape, I can already tell they may be a huge improvement to the top flites. I hope to get a chance to hit them this weekend.
  11. I've seen this discussed over and over, and the consensus seems to be unless you are a total beginner go with used clubs over a box set, but... What if someone was returning to golf and had a very limited budget. Of course they want clubs in good shape so they go searching for used clubs. how old of Titliest, Taylormade, PIng, Mizuno, Callaway and the like, assuming they are in good shape can you go and still be a better value than say a box of Top Flites, cheaper Willsons, and the like?
  12. ok I pulled the trigger, these are what i bought I hope they work if not back on e-bay they go https://www.ebay.com/itm/255401842418
  13. I just saw that the set i was looking at was -.5 in length i need standard. I did see the same store has some MX-23s a bit older but in good shape. would these be a decent upgrade for a high handy cap fair weather golfer?
  14. I've been playing with a set of top fliteXL box set of clubs, Have replaced the driver with a titliest and put in a set of wedges. The clubs honestly aren't used that much, work family you know the drill. I hit the irons well but they are big and clunky looking. I found a set of decent looking MX-25s 6 iron through PW, which will perfectly replace club for club the irons in my set. would these irons be an upgrade for about $125 with shipping?
  15. I bought 2 dozen top-flite gamers last year for 20-25 for two dozen. I really like them a lot for the price, I also snagged a dozen top-flite xl 7000s for $5, i can definatly tell theh 7000s are harder
