Forum: Other Equipment

Hey guys, Organizing an annual trip with 16 guys going down to Michigan. Want to get some custom golf shirts going. Does anyone have experience with anyone in Ottawa that did a good job? Looking ideally for something wicking (not cotton) in a slimmer more athletic fit since we're all young guys...

Anyone know where I can get customized stitching or engravement on a Leather Pro-like Staff Bag? I assume I can go to a leather specialist or Tailor? Let me know. Thanks.

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?

Hey guys--dropped ito the Calloway store in Vegas this morning---they were selling a 15 pack of D2 for 14.99---anyone know what they are at home----someone will probably want to kill me but I am just curious :-)

Has anyone tried these? Are the claims true? Sounds like a great putting aid but I don't see them as popular.

If I want to use a smartphone golf GPS app, is it possible to turn the data off and just use the GPS on the phone or does the data need to be turned on? From what I have read, courses need to be downloaded first. If it needs to be turned on, how much data is used for a single round of golf? I...

reading those masters links led me to some articles about ball distance. There's a lot of talk recently about shorter balls, and some kind of trial going on in Canada. I think this is a good idea, I don't want to be an old fogey, and games change, but it's gotten out of hand. I'd say half the...

When things are going well, I love pulling out a new ProV for my round but I have never really given the X model any love. Looking for opinions and/or comparions of the 2...

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...

Did anyone here actually try these balls ? what did you think about it?

Does anyone know how to change the default view on the SG5 to disable the Birdseye view? I'm sure its a quite useful feature on a course that you don't regularly play, but I find it very slow, and quite annoying on courses I don't want the info for. I'm guessing it may also be why I see a decreased...

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...

Hey guys, I am a beginner and trying to buy things that I need for golf. I have recently bought a carry back with 14 dividers, so they might not be needed. But, I am still wondering if they are useful. Thanks in advance. Daniel

Check out this line of golf bags. They're pricey, but the graphics are spectacular. http://www.tourspecgolf.com/proshop/p2336/Dance-With-Dragon-2009-Inpakuto-Dragon-Caddy-Bag-D3-622000/product_info.html

Received a box of these "Super Long" Dunlop Loco's for Christmas, played 7 rounds this year and have allready broken 3 of them. I don't know if I got a bad batch but I don't think i have ever broken golf balls before. Anyone else find this happening with these balls.

Has anyone tried this ball? 3 piece with urethan cover. Aren't these high end ball characteristic? SportChek got them for $12 a box...

Hi All, On the weekend at Hammond I noticed my golf balls were continually scuffed or marked up and had notches, scratches, or part of the cover ripped quite often and figured this could impact the flight, and roll of the ball. They were brand new opened that day and were getting banged up...

Hey, I did the golf ball fitting test at the Bridgestone website. There recomendation was the e6+. Looking at Knet and they have both the e6 and e6+. Any input into the difference...always looking to save a few bucks but if the performance is really different then I won't be so cheep. Thanks...

If anyone goes to play eagle creek could you pick up one of their divot tools/ball marker? They're the best and I lost mine. Costs like $11. Thank you!

Anyone else stumble accross this beauty while scanning on golf town's website?

Just bought a pair of Ecco Classic GTX from golfshaftdepot.com They are having a really good sale. I actually went to their ebay store and made an offer. Got them for $115 shipped, tax incl and dollar conversion. Pretty sweet deal on a $300 shoe. Check them out if you're looking for a new pair...

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...

Hello I am looking to buy an electric push cart. I have seen some good deals on marketplace and Kijiji And pros and cons and ones to stay away from. If I have to replace battery do I have to go back to manufacturer to buy Or can I get from a battery store that seems to be much cheaper...

Someone once said golf was a good walk gone bad and sometimes pushing my cart I have to agree. As a result I am thinking of purchasing a battery powered push cart but I have no idea on what to look for or what are the good brands. I think the remote control would be handy but most of all I am...

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

I would like to move the following equipment and get my garage back. The following is a list of bags and clubs, all about 20 yrs old but all very usable. Ben Hogan Tour bag, red white, blue. Callaway S2H2 Black leather tour bag,(white and red lettering). 2 small carry bags, (1 Mizuno,...

Hey guys...anybody know if there is a product out there that can be attached to a cart bag, while on a cart, that will hold a putter outside of the bag?

Purchases a set of flak jackets on eBay and decided to order some spare lenes. Twice the lenes have showed up too small. Now starting to wonder if I received fake Oakley's? Anyone have a pair I can compare mine to? Thanks

has anyone played those balls that flash for 9 minutes after you hit it so you can easily find it? I play most of my rounds at twilight these days so when i get to the 16th hole its pretty dark. Wondering if these balls would help wihou giving up to much control or distance? Anyone use them? Can...

hi all, i would like to start marking my balls(maybe my putting will improve:lol2 ) can someone tell me the ratio of salt/water? is it epsome salt or regular salt? thanks.

It's not what you think. I am working my way through Pelz's Putting Bible and he writes about floating a ball in salt water - epsom salts and Jet Dry - to find the balance of the ball - theory is heavy end will sink and you mark the top. I read Covenant's "Floaters" thread from 2004 but my...

Has anyone tried one of these?? Opinions? Comments? Feedback?

Does anybody use a foam roller to loosen up their muscles? If so, where did you buy them in Ottawa? Fitness Depot has them for $30, but they must be cheaper somewhere else.

Hi, Anyones ownes a pair of Foot-Joy XPS-1? Any comments? I'm sold on Adidas shoes, I purchased a pair of Tour ATV 360 unfortunatly they have a deffect with the THINtech cleats!!!! I keep loosing a cleat (each round) on the heel of my left shoe. After my second round I notice that I...

I have a very comfortable pair of the above shoes and have really enjoyed them for the past almost two years. Last week while tightening them up, one of the plastic eyelets broke. The shoe now tightens unevenly and feels much less comfortable. I thought the eyelets where just a funky quirky...

Are these things worth it for playing in the rain? I've got Thurs.Fri off and i'l lbe damned if i'm not playing 3-4 rounds and one on Saturday as well!

I have been looking at a good yet inexpensive golf app for score keeping/GPS and it seems that GOLFCARD fits the bill. It seems pretty nice. They have it on sale for $4.99 U.S.D. right now and I figures I could not really go wrong for $5, so I got it. I am planning on using it starting...

FYI, I decided to plug my Upro GPS into my computer last night and found out that they have changed interfaces. Along with this change, they have changed the account structure so I was upgraded (for free!) to the account with 25 Pro-mode courses. Also, you can pay an additional $30 for...

Anyone have experience with Found Golf Balls (https://www.foundgolfballs.com)? Looks like a Canadian company. They grade "Mint (Factory) Refinished" higher than "AAAAA (Mint or 1st Quality) Recycled" - yet the "Mint Refinished" price is lower than the "AAAAA Recycled" (see for 2016 ProV1's:...

Anyone have any experience using FreeCaddie for smart phones? I just downloaded it for my HTC Hero - seems to have a pretty decent list of courses, just not 100% sure how accurate the gps is going to be? I also assume this thing will drain my battery like nobodies business. If anyone has...

OK it is not going to work in a golf Sim but for the real green stuff this will be invaluable tech to lower the handicap: http://www.gameyourgame.com/#!/

Hi fellas---does anyone have any experience with Garmin service in Canada ? My G6 is forever changing screens and giving false readings---it is less than a year old.. Are they repairing---replacing with "refurbished units" or replacing completely ? Any help would be appreciated.
