  2. Bridgestone balls on "Today's Deals" at Amazon. E6 2017 version is $20.00 Other models on sale too.
  3. Thanks. Decided to keep what I have for now.

    Good info. Thanks, much appreciated.

    grip size

    I think trying a new grip on 1 or 2 clubs is a good idea. I want to try a midsize vs. standard. Thanks for the reply!
  6. I am a 24 hcp player, and have been for years. I just don't play enough to improve, and I'm "OK" with that. I still enjoy playing. Having said that, how often is it worth getting new clubs to take advantage of improvements in technology? My clubs are about 9 years old. I realize my score won't change too much, but at my level I'll take whatever help I can get. Thanks.

    grip size

    I have occasionally been getting hand cramps when playing. I was wondering if a different grip size would help. I'm 60 years old, and have some mild arthritis. Anyone have any experience with changing grip sizes?
  8. Looking for suggestions where to play in the W. Palm Beach area. Heard that Okeeheelee is good, and also The President. I'd appreciate any other tips for courses in the area. Thanks.
  9. Good choice. I have one and love it. Along with the gps in my phone, it's an unbeatable combo.
  10. Know anything about them? Appreciate any insight, Thanks.
  11. Happy Gilmore, is that you? April fool?
  12. I'm trying to get a better feel for a proper swing. Like many people, I have trouble with an outside to in swing and the subsequent slice. I have a few questions that I hope can help me get a better feel for a decent swing. In this post, I'm mostly interested in the upper body, not the leg and hip action. What do you feel in your arms and wrists when you swing? Do you feel like your upper arms are against your torso during the swing? Do your arms and torso move as one with the body moving the arms, rather than the arms actually swinging independently? What do you feel in your wrists. Do you keep them loose and passive and let centrifugal force "uncock" them? Ho do you feel "wrist lag" during your swing? Do you have any swing thoughts that help you with these? Thanks in advance for your replies.
  13. I couldn't find anything searching the net. Anyone know? Thanks.
  14. I usually have about a dozen good balls, and probably another 10 junkers that I picked up in my course wandering. I typically lose 2-3 balls a round, but recently played for the 1st time in several months and lost 6. The course had lots of water.
  15. I asked because a guy I played with this weekend thought white balls were more "macho". I was indeed playing a yellow Bridgestone. I didn't feel any less macho...
  16. Really, do you have a negative (or positive) reaction to yellow balls? Does it matter if they're a good or bad player?
  17. Thanks, but it looks like the store is either closed or closing. Too bad. I like supporting smaller shops like that.
  18. Thanks for the replies. I have been thinking about getting a rangefinder to supplement the GPS app in my phone. One of the things I was hoping was to use to make my decision was how helpful it would be for dialing in my club distances. I think I'm going to go ahead and get one, as the other advantages seem substantial enough and it seems likely I'll be able to measure my club lengths at least to some reasonable number using the laser. Thanks all.
  19. I want to measure my different iron yardages. Is it possible to reasonably use a laser rangefinder to measure how far away a cluster of 10 or so balls is on a range? I assume the actual balls are too small to measure, but what about getting a reading from the ground where the cluster is? Any other tips on how to do this is appreciated. The distance markers at my range are not very accurate. Thank you.
  20. I'll be visiting my brother in West Palm Beach in a few weeks. I'm thinking about getting a new driver. Which shop(s) would be good to try out and pick a new one? Mine driver is pretty old, and I think I'd benefit from a basic fitting to find out a few simple things like the right loft and shaft flex for my swing. FYI-I'm an old, slow swinging, HIGH handicapper. Thanks!
  21. That is all...
  22. A few years ago I played Magnolia in Orlando. 2 weeks later I watched the pros play the same course. Very cool and a real eye opener to see pros play the same course.
  23. I bet my handicap would instantly drop from a 26 to a 25 with clubs that expensive.
