That's awesome to hear about your success with the overlap (Vardon) grip! Switching grips can make a significant difference, especially if you're experiencing discomfort, like with your right pinky finger. It sounds like the overlap grip helped you keep your right hand more passive, which can lead to a more consistent swing.

Aside from reading guides, it might also be beneficial to consider other learning options, such as taking lessons from a golf coach. A professional can offer personalized advice and feedback to further refine your technique. Keep up the great work on the course!

Hey golfers, I'm new in golf, and I'm looking for a guide on what factors to consider while buying golf clubs! Also, I want recommendations on what you guys carry in your bag.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Hi Olivia, Just check your forum posts. Since I am now an intermediate in golf, I guess I should give you my recommendations!

First, practice is one thing, and second, I want you to focus on your basics and train yourself properly.

But again, once and for all, I recommend hiring a coach to assist you better.

I recommend you go with the Callaway Edge set as a beginner since these clubs are forgiving and affordable, and they would greatly help you.

I've covered the whole review of the Callaway Edge set and shared my opinion in this article.

Thanks!

Have a great day.

I believe I'm known here as the resident club fitter, since I work in the industry. If you want to DM me here or at my twitter on the same handle I can walk you through some options.

Re: The OS Golfer's Thread!

Recent rundown as of late. Been ramping up my play a little more since it's starting to slow down a little with work but about to pick up for my trips across the midwest or so playing some golf.


Last few weeks have been playing a lot of the local courses. Gone 82, 77, 85, 79, 81, 79, 82, 79 on Wednesday and 78 this morning. Got the handicap down to a 5.9, which is wildly uncomfortable, but got that bad boy back up to a 6.3 with some older scores coming off. AI Smoke driver has been automatic this year. Wedges have been wonderful. Putting is always dialed in. Just have had some rounds where I've had my head up my *** with my irons. That's really been the only thing holding me back this season. I've got a few trips coming up to Massachusetts, that trip that Kehlis always wants to ban me for, and then one in Ohio. Will update with the views when we get there. Hope everyone is playing plenty of golf and hitting them well.

Ive been considering an AI Smoke Driver. I have a free club fitting at Club Champion that expires at the end of the year. I currently have a Cobra King Speedzone (2021) but I just feel like I am not consistent with it.

I have a Callaway XR 3 Wood that I hit exceptionally well and love the sound that of the ball when it comes off the club. So I have been thinking of getting a Callaway Driver, since I like the 3 wood so much.

Is there much forgiveness with the Smoke Driver? At times I do slice it, but I have mitigated that a lot, so it only happens occasionally when I get lazy with my backswing.

Have a buddy who purchased the AI Smoke and his mi****s are very forgiving. If I didn’t have the QI10, that would be my choice.

Try the AI Smoke Max D. My miss historically tends to be a bleeder to the right. I went Max D, and now my miss is a 5 yard cut without having to worry about it going left either. It's dumb good. I'd also suggest the Ping G430 10K. In my opinion, it's the greatest driver ever created. If I was a "free agent" with the driver, I'd have that in the bag, no question.
