I'm liking the look of the following grips. If I decide to keep my irons for one more season I'll likely re-grip with whichever of these two feel better.
Considering picking these up for Christmas as an off season workout program to increase club head speed.

I’ve heard really good things. But way out of my price range.

I can get 10% off but it still is pretty expensive. Especially when you factor in a $120 radar to calculate swing sweed. Considering running a training program when my work opens our new sports performance clinic and I can get them for $150.
posted by wildcats20Also, I have a 2016 M1 3 wood I’m trying to unload if anyone is interested. Stock photo below. I don’t have any of the actual club saved on my phone. But it’s easily 8.5/10 condition.
What kinda price you asking?

For you, $110 to cover the shipping.

Few things feel better than blistering a good 3 “Wood” on the 2nd shot of a long par 5. Love the feel.
That’s a nice club justin....shell it out if you don’t have a good one you can hit
Just checked the crown. Do not like the white/black combo at address.

I didn’t think I would like it either, but it didn’t bother me at all. Didn’t really even notice. I had an M1 driver too.
BTW I still use my golden bear 3 wood from my first adult set of clubs back in 1987. It’s stunning lol
Anyone golf when it's very cold? I'm on my own for 5-6 hours tomorrow, but it's gonna be in the low to mid 30s. I checked golfnow and every tee time in the area is essentially open. Would be nice to have a course to myself, have myself a long practice round.
In response to Justin’s question concerning a golf rule change and leaving the flagstick in while putting.
I think in a few rare instances, I may leave it in on some longer/downhill type putts, but I don’t foresee it happening a great deal in tournament golf. I think the spirit of the rule change was to allow golfers to putt without waiting on a fellow golfer to attend the flagstick. Hopefully, by doing so, might speed up the pace of play for the average round of golf. Also, an attempt to make the rules less “stuffy” to new players, which is important in growing the game going forward.
Played in the chilly weather yesterday. I got to the course at 11:30 and there was a 6-some getting to the first tee box and a foursome loading up their carts at their vehicles. The group of 6 let me play through and I had the course to myself from then on. I was playing poorly through 5 holes and decided to stop keeping score and just play a practice round. I started playing a couple balls on each hole and my shot making ability improved tremendously. I also made a few adjustments in my swing that I think will end up helping me going forward. I would always end up scooping the ball with my irons. I adjusted my swing so that I was actually hitting down on the ball and my slice disappeared. I would leave it short every once in a while, but it was always on target. I also adjusted my driver swing that essentially corrected my slice. Some shots still had a slight fade, and I wasn't always consistent, but the ball was usually very playable for my second shot.

Playing a 2nd or even 3rd ball can help a good bit. Fun to see how an easy 7 is often better than a needed long 8
If I can put my drive or 2nd shot on a par 5 105-115 yards out I'm going to give myself a lot of birdie chances. I was killing it with my PW. I'm also missing my 52deg wedge something fierce.

When within 100....use the club you are best with. At no point ever have I been better at chipping with a 52+ wedge than I have the regular 48
I think I've found my new driver. The price is nice ($299, hoping for a slight discount over Black Friday weekend) and the color scheme matches my new bag. The tech included is solid, especially for the low price, and I don't give a shit about brand name.
Also demoed the new Ping Sigma 2 line today and love the feel. I think I'll be upgrading my current Ping with the Anser model before next year.

Offset? Can’t tell
Here's an in-depth review. Aside from the great feel, the adjustable length is an awesome feature.

You can get 1 year old, brand name, drivers for cheaper. When buying off brand, you are buying a lesser quality product.
I've read enough about the EXS that I'm not worried, it's not low quality by any means.
A little more info on the driver: https://www.golfdigest.com/story/tour-edge-exotics-exs-driver-metalwoods-continue-tech-rich-tradition-but-move-to-more-affordable-price
It's comes with a pretty great stock shaft as well.
A local golf chain just sent out an email, they've got the Ping G400 on sale for $299 right now. Might need to go demo that tonight.
