Kirklands get scuffed very quickly. I take big rips off the cover and don’t have anything approaching a fast swing.

What I was really hoping for was that one of the 2020/21 "Extreme game improvement Irons" series from various manufacturers, or even just "game improvement" iron sets would feature a 2 Iron, and none do. None offer a 'single club' purchase option above a 4 iron, expecting the modern player to be loaded with hybrids.

I had to turn to ye olde cavity backs of ill repute and trudge through some stuff. You can get 2's of various major manufacturers if you want to get ice-cold blades as part of a set, but good luck if you're interested in a particular maker's set of irons of any sort, sub $2k, even offering a 2, let alone selling it as a single.

So. Into the great wide open...




e: anyway it was a

Lazrus 2 Iron
KBS Tour 90 Iron shaft
Golf Pride MCC Plus4 grip

You don't want a 2i that's part of a standard iron set. You want what's referred to as a utility or driving iron, which typically come in 2i lofts. All of the major manufacturers offer a few versions of these as stand alone irons meant to replace hybrids and 5w/7ws.

I ditched my last hybrid 2 years ago for a Titleist UDI 2i and have never looked back.

I should really demo some 2 irons - I've tried my friend's 510 and absolutely loved it. I swing it better than my hybrid.

What do you guys think - graphite or steel shaft for a utility iron? I personally really liked it in a graphite shaft - felt like I was sailing that thing 220 yards on a dime...didn't feel like I lost too much accuracy.

Even pros use graphite in their utility irons.

Awesome! I really appreciate it.

My initial plan was to stagger the releases like a week apart but I was concerned that people would look at the first one, not like it, and then not come back later when I had other stuff so I dropped all 3 at once. That left me in a predicament though where now I've ordered a few more designs but it'll be 3 weeks to a month before I'll have them. Once those come in I'll start staggering releases so I should always have something new.

There's only 100 of each design though and I don't plan on making more so they're very limited. The only thing I might do is variants of the same character but even that would be way down the line.

All of this is assuming I don't get hit with a cease and desist immediately.

We had 11 guys playing a skins match Saturday and I shot even par with four birdies and played for free. I putt so well on slow greens, it’s a shame my home course usually gets burnt out and stupid fast by like June. Tomorrow looks like a good golf day but then no more until the weekend probably. Still a month until any leagues start but hopefully there’s plenty of nice weather between now and then.

I'd love to buy some simpler ball markers. It seems like every ball marker you can buy that isn't from a course is some embarrassing boomer crap with skulls, dollar signs, or something lame on it. I just want something with like an oak tree or a golf ball on it and nothing else. I like your ball markers, they are nice and understated. Not really my style as I'm not into superheroes but I appreciate the aesthetic. If you ever consider branching out keeping it classy would be a market no one else seems to have tapped into.

FWIW, it feels soft because most of your energy is being lost. A lot of people struggle with distance control when they switch to an Evnroll.

Nah because the stuff you're making is understated. It doesn't say "100% EVIL" or "JOKAH" underneath or something completely corny which would ruin the whole concept. It doesn't need to be anymore than what you've made it but some designers just can't help themselves.

Pretty sure we’re gonna need a special/limited edition goatse marker. Nothing would make me happier than when my friend asks me for a marker and I could toss him a goatse one.

I bought a glove via Amazon for the size I figured.
And was well, sure, $16. Whatever.

...Showed up as a six pack. ...MOSTLY fits pretty good! So at least that's something, AND, golf gloves for, like, ever, I guess :/

e: just double checked the listing and order, so if you want a six pack of golf gloves, "TaylorMade Men's Stratus All Leather Golf Glove" via amazon is the way to roll apparently. I got charged $14.99 for 'em

I ordered one just to see what happens, but I'm assuming you got a bank error in your favor since the first answered question in the listing is "Is this a single glove or a multi-pack?" and the answer is single glove.

I'll let you know tomorrow when it shows up if I get 6 probably crappy gloves or just one probably crappy glove for $15! All of the TM gloves I've tried so far except for the most expensive Tour Preferred ones have been junk, but I haven't tried this one so why not...

I just got a couple more Vice gloves and for whatever reason they shipped them from the headquarters in Germany. Having 2 gloves have to go through customs was kind of ridiculous.

This is what I said!

And then I got six of them!
HOORAY!



Somewhere out there...
There is a man

...wearing the same glove as you.

...and he is tenderly caressing it. Smooching it. He loves that glove, as much as you do, maybe, even more.

Everyone should be buying their gloves from MG golf. Full Cabrera leather, super soft, like $6 a piece.

They offer customization now too I think, so you could probably figure out how to get goatse on there if you wanted.

I’ve used nothing but MG gloves for ~5 years and love them. Had 1 pack where the Velcro was a little weak like 3 years ago but other than that I’ve had no issues ever and I wear the same glove for many rounds before swapping to a new one.

Did you have a bad experience or something? They look and feel identical to a $25 titleist glove to me...

I guess they don’t say titleist on them, which is less of a deal for my 35 year old self, but maybe I would have cared ten years ago?

I am actually not restocking! I'm only making 100 of each marker. I have my manufacturer making my next designs right now so hopefully I'll have those in a couple of weeks. Then I'll start releasing weekly or bi-weekly so everything is staggered and there's no more big gaps between releases.

Way later on I may revisit the same villains but I would do a variant instead. That's the beauty of comics and movies, there's been so many different versions of the same characters.

Can’t wait for my Vegeta ball marker so when I inevitably three putt my playing partners can say, ‘man, do you keep track of your 3 putts? That’s like your 3rd this round, how many is that this season for you?’

And i can say

‘It’s over 9000!!!’ While crushing my ball with my hand.
