I picked up a used Hzrdus Red in 5.5 flex and 42”, at 2nd Swing. Instant, huge improvement over the whippy stock shaft. And slightly shorter length has me making even better contact than before. Hit it very well today.
The 13.5* is…pretty much magic. Mind you, I’m not a long hitter, and even in a regular driver I prefer something lofted at 11 or 11.5. But in my hands when you put a smooth swing on the Mini, it just launches. Basically the same distance as my regular driver, but a higher, soaring flight...
I need a recommendation for a bucket or an Aussie that actually fits a XXL or XXXL head. The titleist aussies are too tight, as are the Bridgestone aussies. I am ”that guy” who wears his adjustable tricker cap on the last 1-2 pegs. Whaddaplaya XL size hats fit pretty well, but they only come...
Random observation: I have discovered this no-name brand of golf shirt on Amazon. You definitely want to order at least 1 size larger than your usual size with major brands. I am between a 2xl and 3xl with normal brands, and in these shirts a 3xl fits me trim (but comfortable) and a 4xl is...
Golf sandals with spikes. I guess they still sell them, somewhere. But I haven’t seen them on the course in a couple decades. Not bad for casual summer rounds when you’re riding a cart.
I just ordered one because I am a shameless club hoarder with poor enforcement of my own personal boundaries. I am sure I will love it and it will transform my game.
My very first clubs were a Spalding boxed set from 1991. The woods were some kind of graphite-impregnated plastic - an interim step after persimmon but before metal. Good luck finding specs on those.
The first clubs I actually got fitted for were Hogan Apex Edge irons in 2001:

It’s a mental trick and it’s generally pretty solid. You do it so you’re aiming away from the trouble (ie, generally the right side where the misses go). Doesn’t mean your drives will necessarily end up good, but it helps you focus more on your target and less on the trouble.
Same strategy...
Got my Smoke AI Max 10.5 with KaI’li Blue shaft on Friday night. First round yesterday - fantastic. I need to fiddle with the hosel and weight settings a little, but on proper swings it’s about 20 yards longer than the TSi2 I was gaming before. Total winner.
