How often do you find the middle of the clubface with the driver is probably going to determine this. The Subzero and LST are going to be more low-spin heads so if you center it up most of the time you want to look at one of these two. If you don't these clubheads are going to punish your misses badly. The Sim Max is going to be the most forgiving of these three options. So if you tend to find a lot of the clubface it is going to help keep your drives in the fairway and not punish your misses as badly on distance or line.

If you're looking at Ping, there are a lot of people that swear by the Ping G400 Max or LST versions over the 410 or the 425.

Shaft is also going to make a difference, but how much tends to depend on how good your swing already is.

Pretty consistent with the driver. I've always been able to hit the ball pretty far. Played a Krank Driver the last several years, but it shit out on me this year and was playing a 915 D3 for a few months.

Actually bought an Epic Max LS last night on eBay. Will try it out and probably swap out the shaft. But for $240 bucks I figured what the hell. Club looked to be in great shape.

Nice. Thats a great price for last year's driver.

Yeah, that's what I thought, couldn't believe I won the auction at that price. It's got a MMT 60g x-stiff shaft. Specs seem to match up somewhat close to what I need. Almost bought an Epic Flash SubZero that had a Streeter shaft that had a better torque #. Thought about buying it anyway and swapping shafts out and flip the Flash driver.

I'm going to end up getting fucked on this deal. Dude still hasn't sent any shipping confirmation....expected delivery by tomorrow. Probably not going to ship, I'll issue a non-delivery, I'll get a refund, and the turd will sell it again. Set a reserve price next time ya butt fuck.

Ebay is the fucking worst. Do most of my second-hand club shopping on GOLFWRX or online wholesalers.

Nothing is worse than Facebook marketplace and nothing anyone ever says or does will convince me otherwise.

I've actually had pretty good luck on FB marketplace and other fb groups. Just picked up a few barely used CBXs on the cheap to try out. Found a few mint yellow Scotty covers with divot tools for $40 each a few months ago.

i'm mainly talking about the high % of scammers. sellers trying to scam buyers, and most incredible, buyers trying to scam sellers. i tried to sell a washing machine and some guy tried sending me a fake Zelle money transfer a couple weeks ago. then he tried to flip it on me saying i was trying to scam 4 x's the amount from him completely out of the blue. kinda scary.

If anyone deserves to get fucked by a scammer, it’s you. 🤷🏼‍♂️

And basically what I said happened. Still no response over a week later. Still pissed, but whatever. Found a similar driver head. Now looking at shafts. Low spin, low torque, high kick.

Anyone with any suggestions? Not looking to drop a ton of coin. Looking at
- Aldila Rouge White 130 MSI 70 g
- Project X hzrdus smoke yellow 70 g
- Project X evenflow black 75g

Who here has played Omaha country club before? New next door neighbor is a member and has offered to take me, but need to know how much I should practice first so I don’t totally embarrass myself.

Played there as a guest last year. One of the members in our group was pretty bad, but nobody cared. As long as you know golf etiquette and have some self awareness you’ll be fine

I play it every year. You will love it. The greens are what set it apart imo. They are going to be really fast. If you are in the wrong spot it’s almost an automatic 3-putt. So you will need to take your medicine on the greens.

@#HBD - Your boy Bill is taking off the gloves. No more trying to win the PGA Tour Mr. Congeniality Award, which worked so well for him:

 

[lee_carvallo_12]

Sounds like he still cares

yep. if he truly didn't give a fuck he wouldn't have to say he doesn't give a fuck.

He’s such a likable player, he’s fixed his lisp and his attitude out there. I see several majors on his horizon.

he's just kind of a douche bag. i feel like he wants everyone to like him and since they don't he is now saying he doesn't care... which he clearly does.

I guess I just kind of thought everybody thought he was kind of a douche that nobody really gave a shit about. It's like the third string running back for the chargers doing an op-ed and screaming that he doesn't care if people hate him and everybody's like dude...nobody gives a shit about you.
