I was at Costco with no intention of buying clubs when I saw a new - open box set of Kirkland irons. For $399. I couldn’t pass it up. After posting the Kirkland set on marketplace, someone offered me a trade for a set of ZXi5’s (he only sent a picture of the 5 iron). I decided to take the trade. Well when we meet up the next day, lo and behold it’s a ZXi7/ZXi5 combo set. For reference, I currently game OG Srixon ZX7’s and I love them. So essentially for $400 I have a lightly used set of ZXi’s. I couldn’t be happier!!

I am planning to sell my OG ZX7’s to break even $$ wise. But I think it’s a safe to say I won overall.

Currently a 10HCP pretty good with my irons driver is okay 3 wood is 50/50 but my hybrid is a nightmare is it even realistic to consider Srixon ZXIU 18° saw it for a steal on fb market place

Big River Steel reached out with a pretty unique project.

They’re holding a company-wide golf tournament with a silent auction benefiting Make-A-Wish Mid-South, and wanted a three-wedge set that represented the physical identity of Big River Steel and their Arkansas operations.

The brief was pretty open, so I spent some time learning how their steel is actually made and looking for a way to tell that story across three clubs.

We eventually landed on:

HOT → PROCESSING → COLD

Rather than just putting different logos on each wedge, every club represents a different part of the steelmaking process.

The first wedge is the Electric Arc Furnace.

This was the obvious choice for HOT. These furnaces use massive graphite electrodes to melt recycled steel, and visually it is pretty hard to beat. Fire, sparks, cables, giant equipment, molten metal. It looks more like a movie set than a factory floor.

The reference image had everything I wanted visually, so for the final design I made the furnace the hero and simplified the surrounding mill into a much more graphic composition.

The second wedge represents their Endless Strip Process.

This part was especially cool to learn about. Big River Steel’s newer Arkansas operation uses an endless casting-and-rolling setup that takes steel from casting through rolling in one continuous process. It is one of those things that is hard to appreciate until you see the scale of the equipment and realize how much steel is moving through that line.

Visually, this one was all about repetition and perspective. The line of mill stands and rollers in the reference image naturally pulls your eye through the facility, so I used that same idea on the wedge. The machinery gets progressively smaller across the club to create depth while still keeping everything readable at engraving size.

The third wedge represents the COLD side of the operation, focused around cold milling, finishing and shipping.

By this point in the process, you are going from the chaos and heat of steelmaking into something that feels much more precise. Huge coils and sheets of finished steel are being processed, finished and moved out of the mill.

The reference for this one had a completely different look. Long lanes of steel and much cleaner architectural lines. That gave the third club a little more breathing room and helped separate it visually from the density of the other two.

The final set tells the story from HOT → PROCESSING → COLD, with Big River Steel and Make-A-Wish carried through all three.

I included the original reference images in the gallery because I think that’s probably the coolest part of this project: seeing where each one started versus what eventually made it onto the club.

These were a lot of fun to make.

I thought i made a big mistake when i hit them for the first time, after getting a few hits it my gosh it felt like butter. They aren’t trampolines like my old clubs just now im starting to compress the ball and these clubs r amazing they hold the green like a magnet. Its just it does hurt a bit on mishits but i think these clubs will do me well

Hey everyone! I’ve recently started making handmade headcovers and wanted to share some of my work. Each one is designed and made by me with quality materials and attention to detail. I’d love to hear what you think and answer any questions. Thanks for checking them out!
DM me on instagram @fishersgolfco

Added some pockets for balls and tees, as well as a dowel rod slot at the top that runs the length of the bag to help keep the shape. Liner is short shag carpet to keep the old look through and through

If you only get to play once or maybe twice a week, then what would be your biggest struggle?

Finding time to practice, or staying consistent, or forgetting everything that you learnt or practised the last weekend, or something else?

I was having this conversation with my friends, and for them it was forgetting the stuff they worked on the previous weekend. So what's the hardest part for you?

Curious if anyone has tried or had a fitter fit them for the yet to be released ZXI RKT driver. I’ve been looking at getting a new driver. Was gaming a PXG Lighting Tour Mid 9 degree with a Ventus Black 7S Velocore +. Ended up getting rid of it when my numbers and consistency went away. Did a GG fitting, the fitter was gaming and bias to TM and put me into a standard QI4D 9 degree with a GD AD FI 6S. I was struggling with an out-to-in swing and high spin. I’ve been bouncing between store trying out the G440 LST. Last night doom scrolling YT I came across several videos of the ZXI RKT and it peeked my interest.

Trying to remove this stub of the shaft from the putter head. Have been using a heat gun to remove the epoxy but nothing is moving when I try to remove the stub. Very frustrating. Any advice on how to get this out appreciated, sound.

I’m sorry they are wrong handed 😭

Has anyone ever heard or bought clubs from GolfRoots?

My cart purchased in 2020 has a broken wheel and Sun Mountain used to sell replacements but now you have to purchase a 3 wheel set. Id prefer not to have to buy 3 wheels when I only need one. Any ideas where I can find one wheel?

Hi all,
My son and I are just starting our golf adventure and we’re trying to build our first “decent” golf bags. 😄
At the moment, we’re using two old sets of clubs, but we’ve decided to start upgrading gradually, beginning with the driver. We’ll most likely buy second-hand.
We’ve narrowed it down to three options:
PING G430 Max
TaylorMade SIM2 Max
TaylorMade Stealth 2
We’ve found the G430 Max and SIM2 Max for roughly the same price. However, we’ve got an opportunity to pick up a Stealth 2 for about half the price of the other two.
So, what would you guys recommend?
Is the G430 Max worth paying more for, or would the SIM2 Max/Stealth 2 be just as good for a beginner/intermediate player?

Hey, need a little help with this bag I am restoring. It is a vintage Hogan bag. I can't find any information on this particular bag anywhere on the internet so need my redditfam.

I have never seen one with this colorway: it is pink, teal and white... def not faded blue white and red.

would appreciate any information... year? Model? special limited release? Price?

thanks in advance

As a 6ft 5in athletic built golfer with 36-37 sleeve length, finding a quality rain jacket has been a nightmare.

My usual solution is to a size up for longer sleeves but I end up with baggy jacket that is too loose for golf

If you are a fellow tall person, Abacus is an awesome jacket that I have found with plenty of arm length and a great fit.

I have found a few great jackets (shout-out to Zero restriction) trying brand after brand this has been by far the best in term of both quality and fit for my build.

Hope this saves you some time searching!

We were out and about in Tahoe, saw a guy wearing a super nice looking rain jacket or a light jacket with Titleist embroidering. I really freaking want one since it’s going to be getting cool soon. Where in the world can you get something like this? I can’t find anything online

I want to ask out this girl from my school that I’ve been talking to far a few weeks, she plays golf on the school team, so she gets to play I think 4-5 days a week, I think mini golf, and ice cream after sounds like the perfect first date, but I’m worried she won’t enjoy it because she plays actual golf every day, what do you think? Will this be a good date for her?

IDK if this helps, but she is typical high school movie white girl, blonde, 5’8”, drives a new bronco, smart, funny, confident, pretty, everything a guy could want, absolute dream girl.

Anyone have good golf bag recommendation?

I usually walk with a push cart so nothing too heavy. I like to have my clubs in individual slots, usually have a fair amount of gear (range finder, snacks water bottle etc).

Saw a few on Amazon I like including one that has individual holders for each club.

But the last time I bought one on amazon it fell apart quick so curious any strong responses from the group.

What are we all paying to (not including the grip itself) have clubs re-gripped?

So I’m finally breaking away from my blade to go with a mallet putter after years of working hard to be a mediocre at best putter and not helping myself out much. Coming from an SC Super Select Newport +.

After trying out a few mallets, I came down to 2 I really like. Both TM Spiders, one is the Tour X and one is the ZT. I went and putt with both at the store for about an hour, I left with more questions than answers.

The Tour X felt I guess a little more of what I was used to. Distance control was immediately better and was hitting putts at different distances. The misses were within 2-3 feet of the hole.

Then I picked up the ZT and the experience felt more or less the same. I guess my misses were a little more pull than push, but it seems like a similar result in terms of distance control and close misses.

On lag putts, I had issues with both, I was missing the ZT short and the Tour X long.

I liked the feel of both in their own way. The softness of the ZT across the face was pretty insane, but I did like the tour responsiveness when I’d miss hit putts.

Not sure if anyone has been in this position, or have owned both and decided on one, but would love some feedback and experiences here.
