Not sure if my first post should be here on in the Equip Me forum.
I used to play only a couple of rounds a year and for that, the clubs my father handed down to me were just fine (some old Prosimmon Heritages). Now I find the bug is biting and it is time I had some clubs of my own. So I start scouting around to get a feel for what is around. And the answer is of course, plenty.
So I go down to the local range's demo day where they had Adams and Brosnan stuff. Hit a few different kinds and actually got the best results with the new release Brosnan gear (and I have seen the reputation they seem to have around here too). Then I head down to Drummond and they have a bajillion different options to try and so I hit a few of those into the net.
But it just didn't feel the same as at the range. I wanted to see the ball flight and relate the feel of the strike to the final result. I couldn't get that with the net and the launch monitor thing.
Am I right in wanting to see the ball all the way? Or should I trust what some machine and looking at the contact points are telling me without being able to know what my hands and eyes are telling me?
And where in Melbourne is a range that has just about everything to demo? I don't see myself turning into a Ho so I want to make sure I get the right set for me first time.
