Forum: Other Equipment

So I bought 100 hogan apex tours on ebay for $50us shipped. Turns out about 15-20 of the balls have the word "practice" written on them but are in AAAA condition, looks as if it hasn't even been it. Will this effect the playability of the ball? Are these balls built to different specs? Or are...

I like to play a softer ball, I don't have the swing speed to crack a nut far. Does anybody know a place that actually compares balls. F'rinstance, if I know my swing speed is 92mph, can I find a list of balls and their carry/roll distances from this swing speed? I don't have the equipment,...

Just looking for opinions. Would like to hear feedback on others. Looking to pick up one more dozen to finish out my season. Looking at the following: Maxfli Black Max Callaway HX Tour Taylor Made TP (question between the two, which is more like ProV1 and which more like ProV1x) Want...

With all the big companies designating their balls to different swing speeds, what is the best process for selection??? Is the swing speed for the ball only based on driver? For example the Bridgestone 330 ....3 different types. This might sound dumb but I was just wondering. Scott

Hi all, Where are you buying batteries for the Tour V2's these days? I used to buy them from Henry's for $10 or GT for $15 if I needed one quickly. Both places no longer seem to stock them and the only place I have found them is Walmart but they are $27 taxes in. Does anyone have a lead on...

I am interested in getting contact information for a source to order a boonie hat like the one Ben wore at Colonial. Saw a www.tourstop.com item but they only show the PING hat. Any local clubs in the Ottawa area stock these? Thanks in advance. Poke-n-SC

I'm looking for the specs on these, cant find them anywhere. Would they be the same as the apex. If anyone knows of a site that I can find the specs on these It would be much apreciated.Thanks

Anyone know where they sell these here in Ottawa? I got mine from GolfTown at the start of last year, but I snapped a leg on it on the 16th hole today (my own negligence - pay attention to where you swing that club :wallbash) I just got some headcovers that match my bag, and I love the bag's...

For sale, brand new still in the wrapper!!! Looking for $40, local deal only no shipping. Just in case you need to see a picture.... http://www.bestvaluegolf.com/ben-hogan-den-caddy.html

Last bag broke and I now have a $100 credit towards a new bag at Golf Town. With the current Trade-in Promo, you can say I have $125 worth of credit (got a super old bag lying around). What bag would you recommend? Stand bags with > 10 dividers is preferred but a Cart bag would also be okay if...

Any recommendations for best Golf Ball to use for an older high-handicapper with a swing speed between 85 - 95?

Looking to get a gps app, was wondering which one to go with? Any feedback on apps you use or recommend would be appreciated.

Hi, Going to play a work golf tournament which is a team best ball event. No serious rules but rather just for fun. So.... I was thinking of picking up a 3 pack of some golf balls that would get me the most possible distance off the tee. I don't care about feel on approach shots or...

I'm heading to New york state for a few days , and i'd like to pick up some Golf swag . Does anyone know of any good outlets worth visiting ? I'm particularly looking for a rain suit plus other stuff that i probably don't need ..... but want :-) cheers , Will

I'm looking for the stickiest grips out there...at golf town as the 50% rebate is on. What model do you recommand?

I have been using the Bushnell Neo for the last two season and for the money it is a great GPS but I would like one that shows the layout of the hole and different points on the hole such as the tee line, bunkers etc. With the Neo you can add 4 points but I find that a pain to do especially when...

Need help from the group on suggestions to get 12-20 dozen balls with color Logo, did the Golftown route last time which was poor quality. Any suggestions greatly appreciated, I have the TP5's just need to send them to someone/somewhere to have them printed. Would be nice if it were local.

Similar question to the best clubs for 6-8 yrs old but looking for the most optimal ball. Curious on your thoughts. Average driver head speed from radar is 60mph and max is 68, just turned 7. Initial thought was low compression and high spin to keep the ball in the air longer. Looked...

Just wondering if the bushnell v3 is better than the callaway razr or hotx ?

I have tried a variety of shoes in the past few years, and have had various amounts of success. Recently I purchased a pair of Adidas Tour 360 3.0 and my god, they blow away every other pair of shoes I have ever owned. They are comfortable, good looking and provide great support, espcially...

Anybody have an idea of what bag is the best bang for the buck? Mine is pretty much had enough & needs replacing. I've never really followed bag trands or technology so any help would be appreciated.

I'm looking at getting a new bag. Need some opinions on which one is best. I have had a few and have yet to find one that is comfortable. Weight is not the issue. I want one that is comfortable and the legs kick out quickly. Any and all info is apprectiated.

Are you thoroughly disgusted that all of the putting greens are closed for the season, just when you think you have developed that perfect putting stroke? Can’t show anyone how you can consistently drop those 3 foot and 10 foot putts? Santa – are you listening? Here is your chance to own 2 of...

I had heard of Nike making black golf balls, and for my golf trip last month I tried to find some just for the fun of it. Couldn't find any though.

Does anyone know of any free golf gps systems? Or any cheap ones to purchase online? Thanks guys! Micheal,

I used the BBGPS golf app a week or two ago at Outaouais and have to say it was very good. It was fast and accurate (My opponent had a Bushnell and I was within a yard or two all day of his readings) I was very impressed by this free program and recommend it for anyone with a Blackberry.

how do you stop your screen from going black after a few minutes?? When you hit a button to turn it back on, the GPS signal is lost and you have to wait for it to pick it up again. Very annoying when trying to map a course or play a round of golf. Anyone else having this problem. I have an open...

anyone have any experience with this model: Bushnell Medalist Laser Rangefinder Pinseeker bought it on eBay and should get it Tuesday.

I must say, I tried out the B330 and it felt like hitting a rock. Then I got a sleeve of B330-S and they were awesome. So, now I'm playing the TP Red and also the B-330S. :-) :thumbsup

So I saw the ad on TV and since I liked the E5 I decided to try this ball yesterday. All I can say is WOW. Now, I do not have the fastest swing speed but on cool day I was pounding this ball large. I even out drove my Brother in law who is usually 20 yds ahead of me. I hit 3 really good drives for...

Fellow Ogers, Bridgestone will be in Ottawa to let you get fitted by their great equipment so that you can pound the ball further. They will be at Golfworks on Firday and Metcalfe GC on SUnday not sure where they are on Saturday.:thumbsup PS, to all my fellow lefties, dont bother making an...

Has anyone tried the latest Bridgestone balls featured in their fitting commercials? The commercial makes some pretty bold claims…like some players saying they're getting like 18 additional yards over a Pro V1. I use Pro Vs and really like them but I wouldn't mind getting more distance from...

So after reading the reviews I've decided to try out some Bridgestone E5's. I was checking out the GT website where I came across two different kinds of Bridgestone E5. The 2011 model is called the "Distance Control" E5 compared to the "High Flight" E5. I was wondering if these are the same golf...

Absolute newbie here. Hello all. Fun and informative forum for the best sport ever. Anyway, I'm a longtime Titleist NXT Tour guy, but I recently had opportunity to play a Bridgestone e5. Well I only had it for 3 holes before promptly depositing it in the water at #13, Loch March. Prior to...

Just wondering if anyone here uses the 'E' series of balls from Bridgestone, they are made to enhance your play based on your particular style or what you are looking to getting out of your golf ball. Even if you don't use them now but have tried them, your input is welcome! They fall into the...

Anyone familiar with the Brunton Ranger Finder 440? It's rated up to 440 yards and has 6x magnification. Currently, it's on sale for $150 ($50 off) at CT. Recently sold a Bushnell Medalist which only has 4x magnification. Dave

This week's Canadian Tire flyer has this range finder sale priced at $99 (50% off regular price of $199). It has 6x magnification and is good up to 250 yards. http://www.brunton.com/product.php?id=578 I bought one at $149 during the summer. It's decent. It's no Bushnell. The biggest con is...

I have a golf rangefinder 1500 that has given me great service, but over the last few months is has be repidly draing batteries. New quality battery is lasting 3-4 days even when not used. Hope this is something that can be fixed by Bushnell. Will contact tech support, but wondering if anyone else...

I had been looking for a rangefinder for a few months. I thought I would wait after christmas to see if there were any deals. I saw one ad on ebay which was selling a brand new Bushnell Pro 1600 Tournament edition for $299 US + 29.99 shipping USPS to Canada. That was the best deal on ebay I found...

Bushnell 500 Laser Rangefinder ..Yardage Pro 500...anyone familiar with this product ..ever used it?..opinions??.......thx

Any opinions on this? There's one in our Pro Shop that I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on. Not sure if the price tag warrants it's actual value though...

Looking to purchase a Bushnell Laser Rangefinder Personal Golf Cart Mount. Golfsmith will not ship this product to Canada and I have not seen it locally.... Has anybody seen them at some store in Canada? Thanks ...
