I clean my entire set with a mild soap solution and warm water after every round or range session. I use an old toothbrush, cleaning cloths and elbow grease to keep them clean. I also clean down my bag and head covers. Straighten out all the pockets and restock tees etc. I hate it when my bag doesn't look pristine. In the harsh UK winter weather that takes some doing. In the summer I'll be washing down my trolley more regularly too. #anal #OCD

Hit this club in my local American Golf store yesterday. Averaging about 230 carry which for me is very good. My i20 averages around 215. Going to try and convince the wife I need to bag this bad boy.

Strong lofts and a bit longer than standard too. However, I love the look of them.

Played my first round with these balls the other day. Shot my best score too. First drive off the tee was surprising given how soft these feel. Came off the face like a much harder ball. Nice flight too. It's around the greens that these balls shine. They are buttery soft, like the old balata balls. On the green they rolled really well. Definitely my new ball for this season. I was a little worried about the durability but after a full round with the same ball I couldn't see a deal of difference between that ball and the rest of the three pack in my bag! I am seriously impressed. Given its price point it's got to be worth a look imho.

My Ping O-Blade putter. It's pretty beat up from being abused when I was a youngster but my dad bought it for me and it's been in my bag ever since. Love you dad and see you at the great gig in the sky someday.

Recently watched a review of the new balls and the spin and distance look good if the price is to believed. Will putting a dozen of these in the bag when they land mid Jan.

A combination of Hall, my surname, and Ryu. Ryu meaning school in Japanese. I created the username years ago when I was heavily into martial arts. I use the same username everywhere on the interweb!:-)

Having a spoon in the bag is a must for every golfer IMO. Sometimes driver just doesn't go where we want it to and a three wood just gives you that confidence to hit a good length tee shot without the need to play a provisional!

The game is expensive as it is. If people are swayed into buying expensive custom shafts then it's going to be even more expensive (for them). I've been following MC's videos for a while now and I'm inclined to believe him. For most of us strike is far more important than a shaft will ever be.

I'm brand new to golf (other than thumping the ball around my local municipal as a teenager, many years ago!) and I spent some time researching this topic before buying my current Mizuno irons. I did happen to catch Marks take on shaft types before I bought so just went with a stiff shaft as the clubs were at the right price. For anyone coming into the sport the shaft types and club advertising guff is mind bending to say the least.
