Best of luck. I think you made the right choice. For future on-lookers with similar questions, here is another interesting video on the topic discussed above.

Wilson's 8802 does have a milled face now. I also love the look of them and hope to try one soon. CLASSIC!

Like I said above, I was more than happy with my WILSON box set.

I agree with this^^^^^ Looks like they've styled the hat to look like a baseball cap. If it has people thinking and talking about it, it's working.

Noted. Thank you.

Sorry. I should have been more clear. No, not in a putting stroke. In a regular swing.

Not a chance

I have no comment for the putting portion of this.... I have a question. Does anyone agree or disagree with his statement about "almost feel(ing) like I'm throwing the club with my right hand..." statement? I'm just curious, because I have been thinking about 'releasing' a club a lot this off-season and just might spend some time focusing on it when the weather breaks.

I will be in the minority here, but I began with a box set and I would highly recommend that anyone beginning to play golf do the same. I don't disagree with anything that they will tell you to the contrary, but I can tell you that I would do the exact same thing over again. You may not like it because you have played with premium clubs already, but I wouldn't knock it until you try it. I have said this on this site before, and I will say it again. Building a set of clubs is not a good idea for a beginner golfer. I bought many a club that didn't fit my game or bag (shaft flex, loft spacing, etc) before I figured things out. I wish I could have that money back. I started with a Wilson Profile set. CLICK HERE to see it on amazon for only $185.99. As far as the quality of the set: Yeah it's not Titleist or Callaway, but it gets the job done. I used it for a season, then upgraded. Then I passed the set on to my cousin who has used the set going on two seasons now. He is an avid golfer, who competes on his high school team. They are holding up to a lot of golf and he has been able to grow his game with them. Best of luck. I'm also going to leave these two videos here....

There is still no video of him actually damaging greens? not even one?

So, I just played my last round of the year. It was the last week of my fall league. We played 18 holes and the temp was sub-40 degrees (Fahrenheit) the entire time. Clubs are moved inside, cleaned and stored away for the approaching winter. NOW WHAT? What do you guys do in the winter time to learn, improve, and scratch the golf-itch?

I don't know many "high handicappers" with a strong iron game. Myself included. FWIW: I go into cycles where I am hitting my woods/hybrid really well (really well for me, that is) and often times my iron striking goes in the tanks at the same time. Then I have stretches where I've had success with my irons and feel confident with them. Often times, my woods don't cooperate. My advice, keep playing what works. When you're feeling good with a particular club(s), ride it out. Even the best in the world rotate between 5 wood, hybrid, 2-3-4 irons more than most people realize.

I always try to keep my divots in a straight line. There is a serious sense of gratification when you leave neat & straight divot patterns at the driving range. Unfortunately, more often than not, I find it near impossible because the grass is already too chopped up from people that have no idea or just don't care. I actually blame the owners/operators of the driving ranges. I think they should help to instruct people the correct way. I've seen driving ranges that post 'CORRECT DIVOT PATTERN' vs. 'INCORRECT DIVOT PATTERN'. signs.

No - I don't think he's made it clear at all. Check out his instagram page. You'll find videos of him actually playing golf with this method.

I watched it... The first episode wasn't great, but I'm interested to see how the show and designs unfold. This is coming from a guy who nearly uses a complete Wilson Staff set of clubs and currently bags the Triton, which won the last Driver vs. Driver show. I didn't watch then, because I wasn't a golfer -and- my decision to use the Triton driver has nothing to do with the show. My decision to watch the show has nothing to do with the brand, however. It could be Callaway, Ping, or.... Slazenger and I would probably still be interested enough to watch if I didn't have anything better to do on a Tuesday night at 9pm. I will say, I feel like I read a lot of hate towards Wilson. Especially on this forum... In this case specifically, the show seems to only make the brand even less legit in many peoples eyes. Oh well.

Yikes!

Interesting.... I'll have to pay more attention to my range buckets.

Oh yeah, I didn't mean to come off as if I was lecturing you. The first response was meant towards you, and I agreed. The second response was meant towards the others who are indulging this topic, which is reckless and silly IMO.

Yes - you are exactly right. But, come on. There is no evidence of this... Just reckless speculation in my opinion.

Yeah - that's why it makes for a great discussion.

I'm sold! I'll take two.

Well done, sir.

Any idea where I can get a sweet set of these? Coupled with one of those Vertical Groove drivers and a G-Strike Wedge, I should be well on my way to scratch.

I usually do - I have no good reason for why I tried something new. You're right - I just really hate those commercials. 😂
