Best golf purchase you ever made

[Matt J]

heavy stiff shafts for my hybrids, game changer!

[sofc]

Skytrak, window ac unit and a garage heater!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Which garage heater did you get? I'm thinking of getting one this year.

 

 

Mine is a tie:

 

Lajosi putter/Passing Point irons/Scor wedges. If push came to shove the Scors have had more impact on my game.

Free Mike Malaska youtube channel. The tennis racket/downswing theory vids have helped me a lot. Starting to build a more consistent swing already. Plus his how to warm up/stretch tips.

My Slighter Putter. Has been in the bag for over 6 years and I dont have any urge to change it any time soon.

That's easy...my Founders Club staff bag! (or if I had to pick a club, it's either the circa-1997 Callaway GBB driver or my Callaway Epic driver with the perfectly matched Tensei Orange shaft)

Bushnell Rangefinder....game changer

I bought an epic from Callaway, pulled the Fuji I ordered and stuck The Tensei Orange in.. it has absolutely changed my game, literally, in a week. Unbelievable the difference

Last year's m2 driver .. now x2

 

Me too. Longest driver (both time and off the tee) I've had in the bag. Thing almost feels too hot even on mishits.

 

And finally getting a lesson. It was expensive and I only came away with a few things to work on but sometimes just a few things is what's need to change conceptually what is wrong with a swing. I was hitting low duck hooks that went nowhere with the driver and now I can play it and learning and grinding everyday. I could've gotten a new putter but the lessons changed my game for the better and made the game more enjoyable.

Rangefinder.

[Medic]

Bushnell Laser Range Finder. Back in 2005 - was one of the originals. Still works and still have it but have purchased V3 with Jolt that's in my bag now.

 

Definitely a game changer for me. Amazing how knowing the real distance can end up helping your game!

Any of my push carts. Currently have a Sun Mountain Speed Cart that I've used for about 3.5 years. I put 75+ rounds a year on it.

Anything Sun Mountain is an amazing value. Have never once heard anyone say "Man I sure regret buying that Sun Mountain..."

 

Can't imagine how worn in it must be though. That's a lot of walking rounds!

Thought it be interesting what people thought was their all time best golf purchase. Clubs, book, shoes, apparel, lessons etc. Mine would be Ping Eye 2s litteraly transformed my game over nite. Still play them now after a stint with Mizunos. Will play them till I am 6ft under.

For me without a doubt it's the Graphite Design Purple Ice 85 shafts from the early 2000's. Still in use today. Just superb as a driver or fairway shaft. Glad I have a small stash of them. :)

2 clubs that I played very well with and had for a long time:

TaylorMade R510 (non-TP) with Aldila NV65 (when that shaft first came out)

Hogan Apex Plus irons

My Slighter Putter. Has been in the bag for over 6 years and I dont have any urge to change it any time soon.

 

Ditto...9 years and counting with my Portland...

[DavePelz4]

Haven't posted a round over par since putting this in the bag...

(1) Bushnell Range Finder, I just have the Tour v2 but it gets the job done no problem. the only complain I have about it is there is no low battery indicator, so I always keeps spares in the bag. If it ever runs out and I don't have a spare battery I feel lost out there without it ...

 

(2) Cobra Baffler DWS 2008 hybrid with Nippon Pro Stiff steel shaft. I am a bit of a hybrid ho and have tried all of the latest and greatest, but this thing is so consistent and reliable with the steel shaft, its just a point and shoot club and never have to worry about anything. I even had to order a spare backup just in case anything would happen to my baby :)

My best golf purchase would be a fishing rod or a tennis racket... My scores would go down immediately.

I walk for the exercise portion and it has helped me drop and keep off several pounds. The money saving feature is good with me as well.

I picked up these practice foam balls earlier this year. Being able to hit chips and pitches around the house has really helped hone my short game. https://www.amazon.com/Callaway-C10316-P-HX-Practice-Ball/dp/B017HI9SZA

If I get another putter, it'll be another slighter.

[FiveSixAce]

Impact Snap one month ago. Ball flight changed in a week.

 

Actually just ordered this, hope it lives up to all the hype !

[cvvorst]

1. Taylormade Spider Itsy Bitsy Red Putter - I have never putted as well as I am now. It has made those scary 3-5 foot putts less scary, and my putting from 10 - 20 feet has improved significantly.

 

2. Edel wedges - Not much to say here, except that they are great wedges. I think a lot of people could use more bounce...

 

3. Rangefinder. Actually knowing the correct distance has really helped my dial in my yardages and score better.

[moonshine]

SSB Okracoke putter...no sight line or dot. Company is now defunct...never heard of 'em when I bought it...

[ajax5184]

#1. Skytrak

 

#2. Iphone 5 or whichever model first had slow mo recording

[santasquatcha]

1. Lessons (4 pack for $170)

-best investment in golf you can make, for the price of a used set of irons.

 

2. Range finder - this has improved my knowledge of how far I hit my irons on different shots, down to the specifics.

Also when at the range I always lase the flags

 

3. TM aeroburner mini driver - only way I have ever been able to consistantly get off the tee box. Added backspin helps to fight the slice
