Anyone have any thoughts on any of the new balls that have come out? I'm thinking of trying a few out, just thought I'd get some insight before buying a few sleeves. Already I have: Callaway HX Tour Dunlop Tour Nike Mojo Nike TA2 LNG

Hey all, Special buy for Leaderboard members until Sunday. 2 for 1, no limit, on the new Z-Star and Z-StarX from Srixon. Hard to beat a premium ball for 1/2 price.

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

After seeing one of these on a putter belonging to KJ Choi a while back, I've had the dying urge to try one. So I finally found a used one that a guy was willing to swap for. Installed it on my putter and finally got a round in with it. Super Stroke Putter Grip First impressions: This...

I've been through 3 or 4 pairs of shoes in the last 2 years because my feet are killing me after walking 18 holes. Since I stopped carrying last year, not because I wanted to just for my feet, things have improved marginally. Play Emerald yesterday and my feet were so swollen this morning I...

Check this bad boy out.........there is a new smallest push cart out there and it's made by the Leader in the push cart game Sunmountain. http://www.golfnewsnow.ca/tag/sun-mountain/ This puppy is a full 5lbs lighter than the Clicgear 2.0 and folds up even smaller....... And oh yeah, the...

who can recommend a good pair? I tried on the Weathersof at GT today. any other recommendations?

I bought 2 boxes at the T&L booth at the Golf Expo for $10 each box. I wish now that I had bought 5 boxes. I played Manderley yesterday with the Gamer V2. This is an amzing ball even at $20 a box. I shot a 91 which is pretty good for me. I would have broken 90 if I hadn't got a 7 on the 18th hole...

<in reply to the post on the Noodle which might be better here> There are a lot of new balls that I'm sure we'd all like to hear about.... Titleist NXT Tour and Distance - the rumour is they don't feel and putt like a classic Titleist should Titleist HVC Tour and Distance and L-Distance ...

I am looking for some personal input on what golf ball you prefer to play. I am a single digit handicap, a fairly long hitter and looking for a soft ball. I am playing Pro V1 balls at the moment and considering changing for a soft ball with great distance at better price. I was considering the...

So today at the Players I noticed a few different things. I noticed a lot of putts were rolling cross-axis of the equator. Sergio in particular sunk a few where the ball was not rolling along the equator of the ball. I noticed early in the round, Mickelson was rolling his the same way, then for...

I'm a locoste and RL polo man myself but looking for something new. What are some other shirts (collared) that make for great golf shirts? Don't care if they are expensive, or if they are cheap and just really well designed and put together :) thanks, can you tell golf is around the corner??...

Hey lads, i'm thinking of picking up a rangefinder for this season and I don't know if I want to spend the dough on a pinseeker 1500 even though I hear they are the best. I'm looking at the Bushnell V2 Tour which is around 300$ on Ebay. Anyone out there have recommendations on good rangefinders...

Anyone have any experience with these? I played with someone last week who had one and I was really impressed. It's really small, about the size of a pager, and though the info provided is a bit limited compared to other GPS units, it still gives you the meat and bones (front, middle, back) plus...

I'm going to buy Intelligolf this weekend for my blackberry. Any tips, advice, recommendations etc? Eagle vs birdie editions... Promo codes? :-)

Best product ever!!!!! That's all I have to say. :D

I thought of more racy thread titles, but I kept it clean!! :) Rediscovered golf last year after a ~10 year hiatus. Getting to the point in my game where I have *some* level of control on my shots, and am interested in testing out different golf galls. In terms of my game, I've been hitting...

I was browsing the equipment thread and started wondering about golf balls. And being a relatively new golfer (old one too ), I often walk into a place like Golf Town and am overwhelmed by the array of balls for sale. What I really wonder is - does the ball REALLY make that much difference? This...

A cut or a scuff... how much does it effect the ball flight? I usually get rid of the ball as soon I as see either. Am I just wasting balls?

I just received my shipment of golf balls (Tour iX) that I plan on using this season and I'm wondering if I should change the colour of the sharpie I use to mark my ball. I've been using blue for the last few seasons, because we all know that blue is a cool colour. However, it's not a...

I am torn between getting a golf specific GPS (Calleyway, Garmin, etc) or a smart-phone GPS app. I am at the end of a Bell contract and will be negotiating with Rogers/Bell/Telus/etc for a new phone/service contract. Any suggestions or recommendations?

I have a new LG Android phone, and have started looking at getting a Golf GPS app for it. The Android Market lists quite a few. Does anyone have any experience good, bad or otherwise with these aps. Thanks,

I just wanted to put a good word for this divot repair tool I bought at Stonebridge pro shop. Small, lightweight, good on hard greens, and it only cost $1!!!! I think they're called Golfmax Divvy Golf Divot Tool. After trying everything from expensive repair tools to using a regular tee, I think...

Wondering if anyone has tried the new tee that Brad Fritsch is now endorsing? I gave one a try today and I have mixed reviews. I like that you can set the tee for the exact height that works best. I found that if the ground is hard it is difficult to put in the ground like many other plastic tees....

I know there have been many threads on this subject but after a trip to the launch monitor it was recommended that I use a low compression ball with my swing and ball speed. Since then I have tried different brands of low compression balls (Noodle long& soft - Titleist Soft Feel - Top Flite Tour...

This past year I used a mix of balls (Dunlop LOCO, Maxfli Revolution Solid, Maxfli Noodle Long and Soft). I just bought about 6 dozen of these from knetgolf as they were listed for 'high handcappers'. Well 30 rounds later, I left them all over the Ottawa valley. Also lost everything else I found...

Hey guys, just wondered if anyone has experimented with this on their putter. Tried one at GT. Thinking about putting it on my backup putter. Scott

i calculate i will play 50 rounds in 2010. i will lose 3 balls on average per round (to water/leaves/sun/woods/theft) 150/12 = 12 dozen golf balls needed for this year. how many golf balls do you go through per year?

so I bought the M3. I should have it in a few days. From the pictures below you can see that the little flip on the back has to be open to enable the GPS. How and I supposed to walk around with this thing for 4-5 hours and keep that flip open? If I get a case for it and clip it to the bag I...

Anyone try the new V2 in comparison to the 1500? Reviews? What about the Callaway ones made by Nikon? Any Reviews? Any info is appreciated.

I dont mind playing in the rain but I would like to stay dry. I am looking for advice for rain gear. I have a limited budget but I would like to get something decent that it would last for a few years. Regards

I have been reading quite a bit on golf balls but don't know what to get. I am not the type to drop $5 for ProVs/HX Tours/B-330s nor my golf skills warrants such a high end ball. Most likely, i will buy recycled balls from Ebay. The last batch i bought, Nike Mojo's, they weren't all that great. ...

... and makes me think that I'm looking at a golf game for the original Nintendo. http://garmin.blogs.com/pr/2009/01/garmin-goes-gol.html?activeBranchId=newsroom Looks a little lame, but there's only one picture. Garmin usually has pretty solid GPS products, so hopefully there's more than...

Does anyone have an TM wrench that they'd be willing to part with? I need one to modify the weighting on my R7 Limited. Please send me a PM with information on the cost, if any. Thanks.

Golf shirts for the colour blind. :eek: Stick to golf Steve... http://www.elksworld.com/

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...

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasnt sure since I'm not real looking to discuss the balls themselves. I found a guy on craigs list who is selling a dozen balls for $2 so I was thinking... balls never go bad and since I am not good enough to tell the dif between a prov1 or a xl3000 why...

I need replace a lost umbrella holder for my Speed Cart. I went online and noticed they do not ship to Canada. How do I purchase Sun Mountain parts? I never liked how the umbrella holder was secured to the cart. One slight tug and it falls out. For a piece which is not frequently used, you...

Hi: I know some folks out there have experience with the skycaddie and I might be looking to get one, although my budget is very limited. 1) I might just want to try an older SG2? Anyone here ever used it? Would it be just as accurate for Front/Center/Back of Green as an SG5? 2) I see...

Dont know where else to start this. I am having a problem with glove wear. It always wears only in my thumb (right at the joint) and usually wears after about 5 games or so. What could cause this? Would it be from how hard I grip the club? It is just another expense that I would like to...

Hi guys--getting ready to pull the trigger :-) Looking at the Skycaddie---I think it has the best value for dollar BUT they do not seem to have the best reputation. If it works --great--if it does not it seems you are up against the wall--especially if it has to be shipped out of country. ...

For those of you who don't put away the clubs til the snow fly's, what do you consider (in your experience) to be the best ball in cold weather? :eyemouth

Joined the Ecco shoe family this week. Got the Casual Cool II Hydromax on ebay without even trying them on. Luckily they fit me perfectly. Although I feel like I'm wearing soccer shoes with long cleats as opposed to golf shoes. Completely different from my Adidas shoes I used to wear. It's...

So I want to get a new push cart and would love to get opinions from people who love their carts. I have not used either of these but have heard only good things about the clickgear. For those who have gone to the 4 wheel cart do you like them better.... Thanks in advance

I was looking for a new golf bag to use with my clicgear today and couldn't really decide on one. I saw the new clicgear bag but was thought that it was a little pricey for what you get. I was considering the sun mountain c130 but I have seen comments stating that it was a great cart riding...
