Ladies and gents it’s time to upgrade my irons. Should I go with takomo 201 MKii or a more mainstream brand like Taylormade or one of the other name brands?

Getting a new driver on saturday, looking into the Qi35 Core and the GT2, I’m moving up from a TSi2 and i like the TSi and i’m expecting that in the gt2 but I would rather have the ventus blue shaft in the qi35 and i really like the way i hit it but im just worried about the durability. Any option helps

Chrome soft triple tracks? Tour response? Z-Star?

Edit: I’m not purchasing golf balls, I got a ton of used ones and I am trying to decide which kind to game

So I got fitted for clubs about two years ago at True Spec. Awesome experience. Felt like a complete stud walking in there.

At the time I was around a 10 handicap. Fitting went well. Hit some clubs great, some just okay, but I loved the feel of the PXGs. The fitter adjusted everything to match my swing metrics at the time. Pretty out-to-in, over the top move, etc. Clubs arrive two weeks later.

About 6 months go by and I’m actually playing pretty solid golf. Trending toward a 9 handicap for the first time ever.

Then my company moved offices and the new office had a simulator.

This is the exact moment I became a “technical golf guy.”

I started practicing about 30 minutes a day and got obsessed with path numbers and face control. Early sessions showed I was very OTT and out-to-in. The office sim had a decent standard set of clubs, and I decided I was going to “fix” my swing and learn to hit a nice little baby draw.

About a month later, I had basically rebuilt my swing. Maybe a little TOO in-to-out at times, but I was striking it way better on the sim.

On the course though? Absolute chaos.

Snap hooks. Push fades. The occasional shank that makes you briefly consider pickleball. Every miss imaginable.

Back on the sim? Pure.

On the course? Horrific.

Then my driver started getting worse too, and that club hadn’t even been adjusted during the fitting. That’s when it finally clicked:

My fitted irons were built for my OLD swing.

I checked the specs and realized they were bent 1.5° upright. Went to Dick’s for another evaluation and was told my current swing should probably be playing 1° flat.

So now my irons are getting rebent. A casual 2.5° swing in lie angle from where they started.

Should fix everything permanently and forever.

Anyway, golf is the dumbest and best game on earth.

TLDR: Got fitted for clubs. Completely changed my swing afterward. Forgot my clubs were still fit for the old swing. Spent months wondering why I suddenly couldn’t hit my fitted clubs.

Can anyone link me some knockoffs or temu because I am not paying all of that

I’m like a casual bogey golfer I’ve been playing my irons since I’ve started playing golf and have no problem with them but I didn’t realize until recently how dated the clubs were.
I have currently a set of Taylormade super steel burners.
Thinking about buying a used set of Taylormade stealths.

The Burners were given to me for free, from a family friend. I’m still fairly new to golf and just wondering if it’s worth upgrading my irons to a more modern set.

Most people say they just do feel shots inside of 100 yds but I am kind of dumb and end up misjudging chips like crazy which results in my handicap being about 8-9 strokes higher than it could be. Does anyone use a rangefinder inside 100 yds?

I've seen people get shit talked for this but I'm considering using something to give me a yardage and practicing that yardage heavily until I get the feel better.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone here has painted/customised their clubs/Putter in particular?
What paint did you use? What was the process?
I’ve got 2 cheap putters I could practice on before I done my main one

Cheers
Located in Australia if that matters

I have been thinking about buying a two pack of Bruce Bolt golf gloves (not the ones for baseball). Does anyone have any firsthand experience wearing them? I cannot find a lot reviews about them. I always bought standard white golf gloves but I like the color options that Bruce Bolt offers.

Personal preferences would be appreciated!

Available online at Costco for you sickos. Just make up an excuse if you need to.

Not necessarily because it was bad, maybe it just didn’t fit your game, didn’t live up to the hype, or you stopped using it after a week.

Someone told me that it is recommended to have 4 or 5 degree loft difference between the clubs. Right now I'm confuse whether I should get 3 hybrid. I realized that my 4H and 5i are only 2 degree difference. Should i keep my current set up? Or sell my 4H and get 3 hybrid? If I get 3 hybrid, I'm thinking to get 21 degree. I'm still new to golf and still practicing.

My current set up:

Driver Callaway Big Bertha Hawkeye 11 degree
3w Callaway Razr Black
5w Callaway Big Bertha Hawkeye
4H Callaway X 24 degree
5-P Callaway X-16
UW Ping G15 50 degree
S Callaway XR 55 degree
LW Callaway Jaw 60 degree
