*Mistakes!! Don’t fall foul of all things that I have done over the years!!*

Okay, I’ve always scratched my head about the obsession around the kislux book totes and their practicality, but this one is adorable!! Congratulations

I have one kislux bag I got in 2019, it's the LV white catogram speedy. It's counter quality and it has a nice honey patina now, so the leather is real. I think whatever makes you happy go for it. I've seen LV with plastic leather and blood red glaze...

I suppose I may be like a lot of golfers -- a bit of a mixed bag! I started golfing with a used set of Ping forgiveness irons (don't even recall which they were) to see if I even liked golf. I did and played them a few years, then took some lessons near (not at!) Pinehurst which included a fitting. My instructor set me up with some Mizuno MX-23's as a set I'd "grow into" -- and I did! Still using them now, about 20 years later minus 3 and 4 irons. Drivers, putters, fairway woods, "rescue clubs" have been more of my Achilles heel though I'm pretty pleased with my Callaways (driver and fairway).

Yep driving irons and CBX wedges never got on with either. As you say for irons don’t use tour level balls go a least one or two levels below

[BladSpot]

I love kislux that on the butterfly bag it says auguri / tanti auguri which means happy birthday

I bought a M4 driver, regular flex. I wanted a 10.5 loft but only a 9.5 was available. The shop said where is the problem because it is adjustable. I bought the driver, went onto Taylormade website and looked at the details to adjust my M4. Yes, you can adjust the loft, but by doing this, the lie and face angles are also adjusted. Not what I wanted.

Great video alex! As a newer golfer I've been down that route. I have a set of clubs I dont like and Wedges with wore out grooves because I didn't know what I was buying.

[mikeyboy]

I heard that the ping g430k 10k max was amazing, I had the cobra Aerojet. I bought the ping off the rack in a stiff, went to a couple lessons because I couldn’t hit what I was with the cobra. The instructor said it might be too heavy he handed me a lighter shaft and another brands new head and boom fixed it.

[chadthompson]

Everything in my bag is used. Never been fitted so just try to get decent quality forgiving clubs. Thanks for the tips, one day ill get fitted for a set of new clubs.😃😃

[jcoleman]

Hmmm the table at the end of the video didn't populate. Any chance you can pin it to the comments?

I had bought what I thought would be great for my game.Big Mistake.
Then I bought a set of ram fx77 after doing a bit of research and trying a friend of mines ( cheap as chips) and just won my first ever trophy 🎉.
Who would have thought that I would play much better golf with a £300 set of irons.
Ping g425 driver works for me with a reg shaft. 3 wood used off the tees mostly on tighter shots and a 3 hybrid for long fairway shots.odyssey 2 ball putter which I've had more years. Titleist vokey wedges is the only place I haven't scrimped on cash really.

[bobney]

Worst buys - Titleist 983K driver, Taylor Made Rescue Mid (moveable weight version) and Taylor Made Gunmetal finish RAC 54 degree wedge.
Best buy - Odyssey 2 ball White Hot putter.

Did it never occur to you that you are simply not good enough to use proper, blade irons?

[sylvandude]

I can’t believe you are saying TW blades with a sweet spot of a dime isn’t for me lol! I like forgiving and forged

[Divedown_]

HA ;-) we all saw what you did that at 5:38. LOL. But good suggestions

[Golfing-AddiCt]

Pete Finch did, he bought that Japanese set last year and just couldn't get on with them.

[markstringfellow]

3wood and driving iron total waste of time with my swing speed

[andybt]

You need to get fitted properly! If I put my measurements onto the Ping colour chart I’m 2 degrees upright and half inch longer. However, fitted physically I’m standard length 1 degree upright. Don’t be influenced by aesthetics! Pretty clubs don’t equate to good for you! All about results! In the 90’s I used Cleveland VAS irons! Dead ugly, but delightful to play.

[tonydamiani]

I have never bought the right clubs. I know I could be Tiger Woods…
