The Anticipation


Evan B.

Recommended Posts

How do all of you handle the anticipation of a new set of clubs? I had a fitting earlier in the week for a new set of irons and ordered them on the spot. Now I'm just waiting for them to show up and its killing me! I know its only been 3 days but I want to be able to hit them so badly! To be fair I'm no club ho, so a new set is kind of a big deal. My current set, I've had for almost 5 years and its definitely time for a new set.

Whenever I have something arrive into either of the Pro Shop's that I use, I am up there as soon as I possibly can be to get them. In fact I remember when my 913D3 arrived a few years ago, my friend had taken it home with him so I could collect it at night time. He stayed about 20-25 minutes away and that night there was a snow storm. The road to his house had a massive turn off to get the village, the Police were there and were indicating to people that it was all but unpassable, after 3 failed attempts, I finally got up the hill and got the driver. Was worth it!!

 

What did you go for for your new clubs?

Go online and start looking for "Plan B" in case what you're waiting on doesn't work out.

I am exactly same with you.

My fitter told me that it will take about 2 week and it has been only two days.

 

Have no idea how to wait it.

Re-watch every YouTube review of the clubs you bought to reassure yourself that they really are "revolutionary" and will surely be the change you need to get to the next level. That, then refresh the FedEx tracker on the hour every hour once it ships.

What did you go for for your new clubs?

 

I'm really hoping that doesn't end up being my luck when they come in. Thankfully the proshop is between where I live and where I work.

That or fall back on the current set. They actually aren't particularly shorter than my new set, just wilder dispersion. Which funnily enough doesn't make sense considering what I'm moving to but the difference in shafts made a huge difference.

Damn, I got the new bag for Christmas. I did it in the wrong order! Also, the old clubs might already have a home with an aspiring golfer in the near future. Unless of course these new ones end up being a complete bust.

Already working on that, hahaha.

Now that’s dedication and perseverance, fight like crazy to get the new club, even when you can’t hit it. I can appreciate that!

Usually I go play to get the game in shape for the new irons. Invariably i shoot my handicap with the old irons and they feel great. Then when my new irons show up I get mad and order a third set because those two are tied.

Yeah, they aren't gonna be the end all fix to my game but I've been lucky enough to have some guidance this year that really pointed out where my weaknesses were. This fitting came about because I've been practicing at a facility that uses launch monitors for the last year and have been able to see how my swing speed and club delivery has changed over the years. With a 5-6 mph gain and a different takeaway and tempo, I wanted to do the fitting more to see if my shafts were still the right fit. During the fitting we went through 9-10 different shafts including the ones I already have and it was clear that there were far better shafts for me. The getting new clubs was because my current irons are just showing their age with lots of bag chatter and some damage from hitting rocks and the like. I figured purchasing a whole new set is a nice reset that will hopefully last for a few years.

 

Buy and sell a set or two a week. You won't be feeling that anticipation anymore.

 

I'm scared to become that guy. I don't have that big of a bank account yet, haha.

Perk to buying clubs in the winter here. Weather is so bad that I can't actually play, hahaha. My first round out will probably be with a mostly new bag!
