They are the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve owned and I’ve worn every brand possible. The pair I have now has lasted me two plus years.
What’s In the Bag? ***GOLF EQUIPMENT THREAD***
- Thread starter Gunnerclone
- Start date
I still have my grandfathers hickory shaft clubs from the 1940s. Use them from time to time, especially one that resembles the puttter.
I’m WAY overdue for all new clubs. I’m a bogey golfer for the most part, used to be much better than that, but don’t get out enough anymore.
I know I need to go get fitted, but can I even get a decent set of clubs (irons and woods) for under $1,000 anymore? I was thinking the Tour Edge irons look like a decent option maybe? Or the Callaway Mavrik irons? Thoughts??? I still only get out probably 10 times a year or so.

I like my Sim2’s. They feel more expensive than they are. Took me some time to adjust because they go about 10-15 yards further than my old clubs (stronger loft and just fly when you hit em)
Yes I love mine, expensive but awesome feel
There are some good Youtube videos on it. I looked into that for my aforementioned 3 wood, but decided to take it to Kinley's because I wasn't sure whether to regrip or replace (half the paint was chipped off of it too).
I'd love some Sim2's, but those are about $700 at least. Doesn't leave much left for driver and 3 wood, and stay under $1,000.
Any recommendations on where you can get fitted in the DSM area? Looking to upgrade clubs (been working with the same set for ~25 years) and get more rounds in / season. Don’t know if it matters, but I am LH and that has posed a problem in the past (both in fitting and club availability). TIA
My bag:
Driver- Ping G430 Max
3 wood- Ping G425 max
Utility iron - Ping icrossover
4-PW - Ping i230
Gap/SW/LW - Callaway Jaws Raw
Putter- L.A.B. Mezz 1
Obviously I’m a big fan of Ping. They have consistently had very forgiving drivers and I have played them for a while. I got fitted for irons last year and wasn’t even considering the i230s. The fitter suggested them after I tried a few other brands. I was hooked after basically one swing. Great irons for me. Been thinking about swapping the utility for a hybrid but I haven’t found the right one. For whatever reason I haven’t found a hybrid that sets up well to my eyes and I have always felt way more comfortable with a super teched-out 2/3 iron instead of a hybrid.
As for the putter- it’s the most money I’ve ever spent on a putter by a long ways and it was worth every dime. My putts are almost always on line and I can get the ball rolling end over end without even trying. It kind of feels like a cheat code. It takes a minute to get used to it, but once you do it will be hard to go back to anything else.

I got the exact same irons over the winter but have yet to get out and hit them yet cause I'm pretty awful on a simulator. I'm not great as is but it seems to get amplified on the simulator. Thoughts so far?
I have the Mavrik irons (and driver). I would recommend them.
They were recommended to me by a former Ping employee, so if he’s willing to push a competitor’s product, they must be good!
My bag:
Callaway Mavrik driver and irons. I strongly recommended the driver as it helped straighten out my natural slice. Irons are good too.
Crappy, old Callaway 3 wood and 5 wood. I don’t hit those very often.
Cleveland Zipcore wedges and a Ping Vault putter. The putter needs balancing, but it’s tough for me to say because my short game is so inconsistent

Get fitted at Club Champion, don’t buy anything just get their fitting summary sheet they give you. Then go online and buy them straight from the manufacturer or take that sheet to a golf galaxy or something and buy them there.
It’s a really cool place to get fitted, they just really overcharge on clubs.
Anyone mess around with a 5 and 7 wood? I have a gap between my 5 iron and 3 hybrid I need to fill this year and I was thinking of getting those instead of the higher irons.
Back in my day... iron sets were all 3-PW. Now they are 5-PW or 6-PW. What a rip off.
Although... I'd probably hit a 3 hybrid and 4 hybrid much better than a 3 and 4 iron. You don't see any pros doing that though.
