Forum: Other Equipment

I can't believe how many guys I see using ProV1 balls. And these golfers range from low to high handicaps... I am curious, why do so many people use a ball that is designed for "pro" swingspeeds? Unless you are swinging a driver over 115 mph, you are not benefiting from the ProV1 technology. ...

I recently purchased a new phone.. the Google Android... HTC Dream, whatever you want to call it. I am trying to find a good golf app with GPS capability that has some of the local courses mapped. I see there has been some good work done for IntelliGolf which does not appear to be compatible...

Gottta be the coolest golf apparel company out there right now. Just treated myself to a few bagfuls of shirts and a hat from Golftown. The price isn't cheap, but awesome stuff!!!!!!

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!

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...

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 any one used the Leep Frogg or Frogg Toggs rain gear, even for a motocycle and if so would it be easily adaptable for golf??:book

I am looking at picking up some new oakleys and while the fancy transition lenses would be nice I think they may be a bit too much cash. I am wondeirng if anyone has experience with the "golf specific" G30 lenses. Any comparison between them and a normal oakley lense? Here is a link......

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

anyone know anything about this bag?

Gota get one of these! :thumbsup http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwU8n4AOQl0

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...

I can't seem to get the yardage component to go to yards instead of meters, any words of wisdom. This is for the bushnell 1500 with slope +/-

Bought 3 new golf shirts today(stupid weather makes me spend money instead of golfing :hissyfit:). Weird thing is they are all different sizes. Hollas shirt=small, adidas=medium and puma=large. It's like some brands totally ignore bigger or smaller people. I"m not a big guy and wear large in...

I have intelligolf Eagle 9.2 on my PPC phone running windows. All runs fine and syncs fine. There are two formats supported by intelligolf: gml (xml text file) and gdx. In the thread here at ottawagolf for courses (http://forum.ottawagolf.com/showthread.php?t=43984), there are a bunch of gdx...

Just finished playing my 27th hole with the same ball. Definitely a record for me as far as using the same ball for consecutive holes. I usually lose 1-2(sometimes more:-)) balls per round. I know 27 holes is not that many but pretty proud of my game as it reflects my beter ball striking as of...

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...

Anyone try the new Callaway Diablo ball, if so looking for some reviews. Also what balls should I look at that are soft "like a pro V or similar" but cheaper.

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

Cart Bag for sale.Ping Frontier. Excellent condition.Blue and black in color.100$ should get it done.

So i'm thinking of setting one up in my back yard so I can practice my swing without going to the range. I was thinking maybe standing up a couple of wooden beams maybe 10ft high and 10ft apart, then attaching the thickest net I could find or like a tarp or something. That's just my general...

Well just based on sheer curiosity, I decided to seek one of these shafts to give it a whirl. After searching high and low, I finally found one online and pulled the trigger on it. I have since resorted back to smaller driver heads, so this shaft was going into a 10.5* TM 510 TP. To this day,...

Just like to get some opinions on value golf balls. Something that's a good mix of feel and distance + durability. Most of the time I play the Pinnacle Exception. Top Flite? A non-premium Titleist? Just like some opinions.

Taking a page out of callaway's marketing Taylormade has opened a preowned store. I will post the website addy when I get home

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

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 ...

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

Was in the Nevada Bob's(inside Sportchek) on merivale today and they had most of last year's nike gloves on for $4.99. They still had some m,l and xl's in the "durafeel" synthetic model when I left. I picked up 2 gloves for $10...pretty good deal IMO. I assume they have them at the other...

While I shoot RH, I carry LH due to a previous shoulder injury. Who else (other than Sun Mountain) makes LH Carry Bags? ________ S90 (YAMAHA) SPECIFICATIONS

For all of the Blackberry and iPhone. http://www.greenfindergps.com/ The list of Ottawa Area courses is pretty good. They even have a free 5 round trial.

Hey all, I am thinking about getting an SG4 this year. Just curious if people could fill me in with which courses in Ottawa region have been mapped by Skycaddie? I am a member of Greensmere this year, and wasn't sure if it was on there. I didn't find their name on the list, but I would think...

It's free, go get it! http://www.masters.org/en_US/interactive/mobile/iphone.html

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...

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 recently returned a Golf Buddy Tour. I took it out to Cedarhill and walked a few holes. It was off by as much as 15 yards to some of the bunkers. I have read good things about Sonnocaddie v300 and I have recently tested their responsiveness by asking them to map Manderley, The Meadows and The...

Here is my issue. I bought the R7 CGB Max Driver, 3,5 & 7 woods at GT. The driver head cover is a great magnetic headcover that goes on and comes off real easy... the small TM grey headcovers for the 3,5 & 7 are all the same size and almost impossible to put on the 3 wood, difficult to put on...

In your opinion which is better? Is the SM V1 worth the extra bones? Better Made? Reason is the Bag Boy Express is on sale and I am in the market for a push cart. Only ever looked at the Sun Mountain. Thoughts? Oh and if anyone has one for sale Pm me too! Thanks

If anyone is ordering a club or clubs from the Callaway store please let me know as I would like to order a few hats that they can throw in the box. I would help out with shipping costs. Thanks, Luc

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

Hi, my boss is selling his golf simulator. It is a holiday golf model with 10 different courses on it. This is a solid simulator, picks up slices hooks etc and is quite accurate. PM for more info and pictures if you are interested! Thanks -Mike

Has anybody used the Bushnell Tour v2 and how it compares to the Bushnell PinSeeker 1500........ I have been reading a few reviews and they seem to indicate the v2 is cheap and not as good as the Bushnell PinSeeker 1500.... Thanks
