(Part 2) Best products from r/golf

Seriously just go buy a set of grips off of amazon. You can find good quality grips that will last you a couple of seasons for less than $50. Get some grip solvent $8 and double sided tape $10. Find a rubber clamp to put your clubs in, find a utility knife to take old grips off, and find a workbench with a vice grip. No man should just have to go playing golf without grips and it's much more satisfying to take care of your own grips yourself. I'll even link some cheap stuff to you to make it easy.

Grips I use. Incredibly cheap and feel great. $42 for a set of 8 grips which will get you 3-PW or 4-GW

http://m.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4278304
Double sided grip tape. 15 strips for $5. If you think this is something you would do again in the future then buy the roll of double sided tape off golfsmith for just over $10

http://www.golfsmith.com/product/30089613/clubmaker-grip-solvent-1-quart-fe
Grip solvent. $6.50 on golfsmith. I've heard that there's alternatives that you can use that are cheaper but why not just use the real deal?

http://www.amazon.com/Rubber-Shafts-Regripping-Premium-Quality/dp/B00SA5JBZW
Rubber vise clamp. More important than it looks. Protects the shafts from damage and holds it in place while on the visegrip. $6 on Amazon

All you need from there is a knife of some sort to take off the old grips and clean off old tape and a visegrip to secure your club. Finding a vise might be kind of tough, but sometimes people have them in their garages. If you have a golf friend who does his own grips also he probably wouldn't mind you borrowing it and may even be happy to help. Friend might even have some of his own materials you could borrow.

Estimated total cost of this roughly $65-70 dollars. Really isn't that expensive to purchase everything listed above and if you really shopped around I bet you could find cheaper stuff. Honestly if your playing in tournaments you want to be going in with your best game. You're on a budget and this is about as budget as it gets. If you're going to be playing more tournaments later in the year then maybe sit this one out, use the entry fee to fund your clubs, and then play better or at least more comfortably later in the year.

The answer to your question is out there. Only, we cannot answer since we don't know your flaws. The best thing to do is get a single lesson from a pro, ask him to give you some drill and even ask him what training aids would be beneficial for you. He even might use some training aid during the lesson.

This is a good tool to use on your swinging to make sure your upper body is working in unison.

Check out some of these tools and look up some drills. I am sure you can find a few that would help your game. Good luck!

I am cheap frugal so I always try flying Southwest when I'm traveling for golf cuz clubs fly free. I have a beastly SKB hard case that looks like an anti-aircraft bazooka case haha. It has kept my clubs safe (got it for around $150 or something), but I wish I would have bought a case like this.

My case is very heavy with the clubs/shoes/etc... inside, nearly 50 lbs and it's kind of a hassle to lug around the airport and in hotels (especially if you are going to Vegas and you have to walk 1/2 a mile inside the hotel just to get to your room). The legs that pop out with the wheels so you just have to push it would be clutch.

If money is plentiful in your life, I would recommend a golf club shipping company like ShipSticks or something. I have some rich friends that use the service and they love it, I'm just too cheap frugal to spend $120 for a service like that (and that's domestic pricing), international I remember being $250ish.

Look at tour leaders on putting averages per distance in 2015:

20+ ft: 12.06% (Spieth)

15-20 ft: 30.63% (Mahan)

10-15 ft: 44.8% (Baddeley)

5-10 ft: 65.52% (Koekpa)


And these are the #1 rankings on the entire tour. Not even the average. If you're not hitting it inside 10ft, you will miss well over half your putts. So rule #1 for good putting is ALWAYS hit it closer. It sounds dumb, but it's true. Work on your short irons. But, it is still obviously always uber-important to spend time on the putting green (just ask Spieth and his 1000 putts in a day thing).


I'd check out Dave Pelz's Putting Bible. He also has a Short Game Bible book that's great.


I'm a big fan of drilling with an alignment stick along my putter. Can't putt well if you're never starting the ball on the line you want. This will help make sure you're keeping the club face square the entirety of your stroke. Peter Finch has a great video on it here. Check out the rest of his videos too. Lots of great tips and easy to do drills.

What are your misses like? You do a lot of great things in your swing...the potential is there. I think a few tweaks will go a long ways! It is a little hard to tell from the video but the only thing I would change about your grip is the gap between your thumb and pointer finger on your right hand. When you have a gap there you lose a lot of control over the club face.

• Good grip - http://imgur.com/bw53rDr
  
  An old coach of mine would put two sharpie dots on my hand kinda like the 2nd pic and then make me connect the dots.
  
  Next up would be your lateral movement away from the ball. I think some of your overswinging is because you have so much lateral movement. You want to be able to shift your weight onto your right side without having your head and upper body move so much off the ball.
  
  Check out Rory's face on.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0ABM0B9RsA
  
  Compared to yours... http://imgur.com/MPmkl6m
  
  You want to feel as if you're rotating inside of a big barrel on your backswing. You should load to the left...but your head and upper body should stay more centered over the ball instead of moving away from it. Hope that makes sense!
  
  My last advice, like some of the user comments would be to try and get you're club face more square throughout the swing. That will probably be the hardest change to make. Have you ever heard of a swinggyde training aid? http://www.amazon.com/Swingyde-Golf-Swing-Training-Aid/dp/B000OZI256
  
  It's cheap...really easy to use and provides really good feedback for someone wanting to work on their takeaway and proper forearm rotation to get the clubface square. Hope this helps! LMK if you have any questions.

It was mostly taking my time and finding deals on Ebay/Facebook marketplace.

OptiShot II: Ebay, $200. They can be had new on Ebay around this price pretty easily. Brand new from Optishot is $300.

Impact Screen: $200 on Facebook Marketplace. It is a home-made setup with metal poles and connectors. I have no idea how much it cost the previous owner to put together. It happened to come with the Turf as well (which is probably the cheapest possible fake grass you could find)

Projector: $40 on Facebook Marketplace. This was probably my best find. The guy had dropped it and cracked off one of the sides to the projector so he said no one would buy it. It still works perfectly fine - score!

Hitting Mat: $38 Amazon (and turf that came with the impact screen). Bought 2 sets of these for 12 total tiles: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013A4ATCQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Arranged them in 2x6 layout 2 tiles high and cut out the slot to snugly fit the OptiShot . Technically, you don't even need to wrap them in turf, but you will still be about .3-.5" short of being level with the OptiShot without it and wouldn't look as cool, but it's manageable. IMO, the OptiShot is pretty much useless without getting close to level with it because you'll learn how to top a ball really well.

​

Its also fairly important to have extra turf/carpet up under the impact screen because otherwise the ball bounces all over the place after hitting the screen. For anyone wanting to do this on a budget, you could skip the impact screen and projector in favor of a net. As long as you have a large TV nearby to plug your laptop into, and you can skip the turf for something that is just functional - it will still be fun. When i first used it I didn't have a net or screen at all, I just hit the foam balls and went chasing them around my house lol.

OptiShotII: $200-300, we'll say $250

Basic hitting mat described above to make you level with the OptiShot: $~40

Hitting net: Can be had on Amazon for ~$75

Total: ~$365

​

I use the Breaking80 IS800. It works great, fantastic battery life, pin lock up to like 300 yards, accurate up to 800 yards I believe, fits in the cup holders of all carts, super simple to use, great customer serive, lifetime warrantee replacement, good price.

https://www.amazon.com/Breaking-80-Golf-IS800-Rangefinder/dp/B01A91M8ZY

Doesn't have slope feature.

I have one of these (short weighted iron) in my office. It's small enough for a full swing. I also used it to strengthen my left hand grip. I would hold it over my head with the last three fingers of the left hand only -- you can really start to feel the burn since those finger muscles are pretty weak. I also use it to "hold" the key positions (set up, parallel back, top of back swing, transition, impact, level through, and finish) for 10 seconds at a time -- like a really slow swing, which has helped improve the finer muscle strength as well as flexibility.

Keeping your head directly over the ball, keeping your head still throughout the stroke, making contact in the center if the face, and making sure my stroke did not arc on short putts. Many pros use them. You can get one on ebay for about 30 bucks and it will help you more than getting a new putter ever could. It also works great at home while watching tv. If you can't tell I highly recommend getting one. I also recommend getting a seemore putter if you really want to make all your short putts. Ernie els is a perfect example of switching to a seemore and going from the infamous 6 putt to leaning the tour in strokes gained putting over the last 4 or so weeks.

edit: see here for a link on amazon.

Tectectec VRPRO500, ,Amazon listing,

$149, played a few rounds with it, love it. I'm sure that there are better models with more bells and whistles, but it's accurate, quick, and you can buy some nice cases for it. I really like that I can get exact to pin distances rather than using my gps (that was good within 5 yards, but just to center of green)

I bought one of these

http://www.amazon.com/SKB-2SKB-4812WS-Standard-Golf-Travel/dp/B0007VNZDG/ref=lp_3411161_1_9?s=golf&ie=UTF8&qid=1451939925&sr=1-9

Considering my irons were $1000, driver $400, putter $300, wedges $100 bucks apiece, and my 4 wood around $200, $150 bucks on a sturdy hard case is nothing. I have no worries about them at all. I have owned it for 4 years and never once had a problem.

People like soft cases for some reason, probably cause they can pack their clothes and save on baggage fees, but I always fly southwest and this qualifies as one free bag, and my suitcase my second free bag.

I personally would never use a soft case. Yes, I know a lot of pro's use the Club Glove, but a lot of pro's also fly private jets to tournaments.

Replacing grips is super simple.

Non-consumable Tools:

• Something to hold your club. I use my bench vice and this, but you can make do with a C clamp and an old rag to protect the club.
  
• Something to collect drippage. I use a oil pan like this, but a bucket or any plastic container will do. I like the oil pan because I use the spout to pour left over liquid back into the bottle to re-use.
  
• Something to cut off the old grip. Utility knife with a hook blade is the best, like this.
  
  Consumables:
  
• Grip tape: I’m lazy and use the pre-cut tape, but you can get it cheaper by the roll.
  
• Grip tape solvent: Paint thinner or mineral spirits also work in place of the stuff sold specifically for grip tape.
  
  Big keys:
  
• Use plenty of solvent, using the drip pan let’s you reuse it, so don’t be stingy.
  
• I use a scotch brite pad to help clean off any stubborn residue.

Seeker Pro

​

Full disclosure, that is my product, but I am a former Pro and Caddied at Augusta National 20 years ago! (20 years, oh my God!)


At $129.99 it does everything you would want (slope, no-slope, pinseek etc) and has as good or better Optics (clear lens and big viewfinder) than pretty much anything.

​

If you have a question, ask away.

I got this one for $70 and love it. I would suggest picking up the Stiff Arm as well.

I love the piece of mind that the Stiff Arm gives you since it feel pretty sturdy and ensures that it takes any pressure put on the top of the bag.

I got these as a gift.

If you have never played good name brand wedges then they will be fine. I had one good Cleveland wedge in my set so didn't care for the grinds on these. I like tinkering so I did my own customs grinds, did a gun blue finish, and threw on some good grips. I love them now.

Good inexpensive options:

Precision Pro

Tec Tec Tec

Breaking 80

More expensive better options:

Bushnell V4 Shift w/slope

MyGolfSpy Complete Review of 2018 Rangefinders: MGS Best Golf Rangefinder

If you ever want to spend more time and effort on learning how to putt, I'd recommend Dave Pelz's Putting Bible. He takes a scientific approach to the game that many people enjoy, and breaks out putting into different areas that you can work on both at home and at the course. I have a couple of training aids I use at home, but my favorite is an 8" piece of 1/2" wide PVC tube. I use it to see where my putter's face angle is at impact. If the tube goes straight when I hit it, then it's square. If it spins counter clockwise, then the face is open, and clockwise when the face is closed (for a righty). It helps me make sure the ball goes where I want it to go, and gives me clues on what may be wrong with my swing and where to look for a fix.

got this bag and this support rod

if you end up w/ a soft shell definitely get a support rod for peace of mind

Golpher, we can commit to running a different special everyday for the Rgolf crowd. Let me know what I need to do to get you that info.

I can either set up a special page (breaking80.golf/daily* this page will be live as of now!) or email the info directly.

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback guys. We're down for coming up with something everyday for the community here. With that said, we're gonna launch a big one for today / this weekend to get the ball rolling and hopefully swing Golpher's decision.

Today’s daily deal is $50 our IS800 in Orange with promo code RGOLFN11. Shop Here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B01ARD1EYA This will probably be one of the biggest deals we run from now to the end of the year, but we wanted to get started with something big!

Thanks!

I had an enormous issue with going past parallel due to flipping my wrists the same way as you.
You're already tackling the issue with a pro but I'll share what worked for me. I tried out the Swingyde (link at the bottom) and it has made an astonishing improvement in my ball striking. Doing about 20 swings a night with this swing has really helped me make my swing much more compact and kept me from manipulating my hands and wrists at the top of my backswing.
https://www.amazon.com/Swingyde-Golf-Swing-Training-Aid/dp/B000OZI256/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483537660&sr=8-1&keywords=swingyde
Mark Crossfield and Dan Whittaker have both done positive reviews for this training aid that you can check out on youtube.

I saw something interesting at sports authority today when I was walking around. Didn't stop to take a full look but it essentially looked like a lockable case for a bag with clubs in it similar to a pelican case you'd use for rifles or other valuable stuff.

I also just found This on Amazon when I googled locking golf club case.

If you don't want to spend a lot, these could be good.

https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Ultra-Complete-Package-Right/dp/B06XKZW8BZ/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=wilson+golf+clubs&qid=1564439862&s=gateway&sr=8-3

They're good for a person who still doesn't know if he's gonna stick with the sport. I am a beginner too and I know I should have bought this instead of buying some blades for 50 dollars.

Furthermore, you could obtain great iron bargains at 2ndswing.

Dave Peltz has several really good instructional books on the short game and putting. I'm reading his putting guide right now and it's amazing. Lots of little things to change the way you think about the short game. Here's the one on putting.

Re: chipping: The hinge and hold lesson that Phil has up on youtube was really helpful to me. This one. It's a simple little thing that will get you more consistent. (I hinge my hands before I even bring the club back. Doing it on the way back is too many moving parts for me.)

On a shoestring budget you’ll have to know that you probably won’t get the latest and greatest clubs, but you can certainly still get some sticks that’ll work.

Keep in mind the recurring costs of the game with your $140 initial budget (balls namely, tees to a lesser extent, green fees etc.)

There are some box sets of clubs that are pretty cheap. Wilson, Nitro, for example.

You can also try and piece together a set from goodwill, lots of people donate their older clubs and they sell them back for pennies on the dollar.

Dave Pelz's Putting Bible helped me a lot. I like to break things down into details and he does a great job explaining the physics and arts of putting. Before reading that I wasn't really practicing with any purpose or focusing on the problem areas. I was just putting balls around hoping to eventually get better.

I travel with my clubs 2-3x a year and I use a soft bag because it's easier to transport. I don't know if you've noticed this but the hard case is cumbersome and difficult to fit into some cars because of its size. If my soft bag doesn't fit once I get to my destination I can always take my clubs out and fold up my soft bag.
To protect my clubs I wrap a towel around the heads and I use this: Club Glove Stiff Arm Travel Club Protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015RZCZK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-fsrxb1RJXTE9
On our last golf trip one of my buddies had a hard case and it wouldn't fit in the rental. He had to sit with it in the back seat with it sticking out the side of the window. Of course the hard case protects it in case of rough handlers or drops but I haven't had any bad experiences yet. Hope this helps

Recently switched from an Odyssey Marxman to this Never Compromise Portofino

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0094CF5PK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Absolutely love it so far. My distance control has improved a lot and I've averaged 32putts/round since the switch

Suncoast Golf Organizer

Actually was looking at this one an hour ago. Don't know much about them, but seemed descent with the slope and all. Popped up on 'best cyber week deals on amazon'. Its a bit over $120 though.

I got this one recently: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OMXN0Z8/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I haven't had a chance to take it out yet, but some publication rated it the best "value" rangefinder. I will report back after my round tomorrow.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000IUWLNG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1449587440&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=texan+classics&dpPl=1&dpID=51zycwqkCHL&ref=plSrch


These are what I've gamed for the last few years. Moderately priced and good feel. I slapped a set of midsize lampkins on there and I've been happy with them. ~$40 shipped for three wedges

I bought this mat. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058DECVC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So far very pleased with that as well. Durable and padded enough that it doesn't hurt if you come in too steep.

Get a milled Never Compromise. They used to be $299, but apparently never became popular. I have the Connoisseur Portofino and it is the best putter I have had so far.

Mine's similar, but the racks are in the middle. This one

If the one in your pic is like this one, it's not a bad price and it's highly rated.

If you're looking for a single, this one would do, but it has nearly a full star less rating.

Hard cases are ideal. If you've got a soft case, I'd highly recommend a pole similar to the one attached. Saves the woods. http://www.amazon.com/Club-Glove-Stiff-Arm-Protector/dp/B0015RZCZK

Beginner?

Something like THIS

Once you get better then invest in higher priced wedges.

This CaddyDaddy Golf Constrictor 2 Travel Cover (Black/Grey) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007OK8588/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6eWSAbTHBD5E0
And this Bag Boy BackBone Travel Cover https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FW82YQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0fWSAbXKTVF9E
And now you can travel with your clubs. I have this setup and have never had problems. Just take the head off your driver. It's worth the investment trust me. Once you can travel with your clubs it's a game changer and you'll find plenty of excuses over the years to bring them with you places.

I have owned the Sklz Quickster ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0047YQ2MK/ref=abs_brd_tag_dp?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER ),$110 and the Rukket SPDR ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00STRNQN4/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ).

I kept the SKLZ and gave away the Rukket. The SKLZ was quicker/easier to put up & take down (kinda like a "quick pole" tent), lighter, more compact.

I love it. The net has held up, it's big enough that it takes a tremendous mis-hit to miss the net, and it's weathered a few rains when I've left it out.

Down sides, it needs pretty level ground to sit still in anything over a stiff breeze. There are stake holes but I never got around to using those.

You should get a proper hitting mat. One you stand on. I tried the smaller, cheaper, "stand in front" mats, but you're always practicing hitting on a slope that way. Here's one at the MINIMUM size you should get: https://www.amazon.com/PGM3660-Emerald-Par-Golf-Mat/dp/B0058DECVC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1499802824&sr=8-5&keywords=golf+mat

When you're at the range, hit balls with your club a couple inches behind the ball at address. This will promote that you have a forward shaft lean at impact.

Also, use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Swingyde-Golf-Swing-Training-Aid/dp/B000OZI256

The Swingyde should ensure that you're hinging your wrists properly and then maintaining that hinge throughout the swing.

Looks like the ferrule has just slid up. If so, it's cosmetic. Throw a little glue in the gap and tap it down. I use my vice block to do it. Put it on the shaft and use it like a slide hammer to knock the ferrule back into place.

I have a setup in my garage and I use this one: https://www.amazon.com/PGM3660-Emerald-Par-Golf-Mat/dp/B0058DECVC

I'd recommend something like it - I was originally working with a little Callaway strip and couldn't stand the height difference.

Thanks! Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Suncast-GO3216-Golf-Organizer/dp/B0000V0L9Y/

I bought my dad the TecTecTec rangefinder for christmas this past year and he loves it.

https://www.amazon.com/TecTecTec-VPRO500-Golf-Rangefinder-Binoculars/dp/B00OMXN0Z8

THIS. When I put it on and start swinging with it my swing is much more compact and my ball striking improves drastically.

I found this to be a worthy investment.

But, nothing will help you more than a few lessons.

I busted out Wii sports and tried golf because I had forgotten about the game - never again.

Kinect golf is fun when using the SKLZ Tempo & Golf Grip Trainer (https://www.amazon.com/SKLZ-Tempo-Grip-Golf-Trainer/dp/B0019GKDTM)

> The mat probably cost 500


$80. Granted his does look thicker/nice.

> the screen probably cost 1k

Looks like its a few panels of some cheap building material on the front screen. The back screen isn't particularly nice either.

Whole thing probably cost a little more than $1000, but not a ton. Major factor here is how much he chose to spend on the projector and if he did the frame himself/has a guy vs if he had to find a shop to make it for him.

Hmm... Just tried the link and it went to the product page. Here is the Amazon product page.

"Prudent" Maybe. But definitely more expensive. ($3 per grip for the whole set adds a bit over the years.)

$15 for tape.
https://smile.amazon.com/Hireko-Grip-Tape-2-Inch-36-Yard/dp/B00J0XU008

$10 Odorless Mineral Sprits: https://smile.amazon.com/Mona-Odorless-Paint-Thinner-16-ounce/dp/B00279I7JS

$5 Shaft grip: https://smile.amazon.com/Wedge-Guys-Refinishing-Refurbishment-Replacement/dp/B00SA5JBZW

(I also add 2" blue painters tape as build up wraps. Easier to clean. But not needed.)

That's enough for 10+ sets of grips, about $4 per set. For the cost of paying someone to do grips one time, I can regrip mine and my friends' clubs a few times each. I don't mind doing the labor.

It's no problem to cut off the old grips and prep for new. I'll cut the old ones off, and apply new tape while sitting in front of the TV. (usually when the wife's not home.) Then take them to the workshop for the messy part.

A few things:

First, you can get a club holder from your local superstore or amazon. Its basically a piece of rubber that pops on the shaft and sits down in the vise. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SA5JBZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_Gdy4CbDXE93HF

Second, got a $20 Irwin clamp-on vise from Lowe's

Third, wall alignment laser from Lowe's for $20 I think.

Last, a paint tray to catch the mineral spirits run-off

could have just gotten this and you wouldn't need the club protector...

Soft case with a stiff arm works well... http://amzn.com/B0015RZCZK

So this all prompted when my brother bought me this:

It does not work for me at all because i do not rotate my wrist during my swing.

Anyone can afford these..Texan-3 for $50

You can probably get both cheaper if you search

Sorry I misunderstood your question, it is not the edge version either.

Hopefully this link works:

Don’t pay for bushnell - all you’re paying for is marketing. It’s not a complex technology. They aren’t any more accurate than this one is. I’ve got it and can attest.

Her is how to remove a grip with a compressor:

Most grip tape kits have the tape, the solvent, and a rubber vice clamp. Here is an Amazon link for the rubber vice clamp individually:
Rubber Vise Clamp for Golf Club Shafts, Regripping, Premium Quality by Wedge Guys https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SA5JBZW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OFGazbAVJHA5T

You just place the block around your club and insert that into the clamp. No damage done to your clubs, especially great for composite shafts.

Personal preference here, but why not just get a range finder? Distance to the pin? Point and shoot. Distance to carry the lake? Zap the bank on the other side. Distance to the end of the fairway? Shoot that bunker at the end of the fairway. I feel like the range finder will always be more accurate then the GPS. Anyway, I lost my bushnell and didn't want to pony up $400 for another one so i went this route.

I've done tons of testing with my friends bushnell and its always been the same or within a yard.
