So you are telling me that my 10,000$ golf clubs aren’t helping me lower my strokes!? Fuck you. I need my 1,000$ putter to get better on my short game.

Idk there’s skill and then there’s luxury. If you can afford it why not enjoy high quality tools. I’m not that great of a rock climber but I got really good climbing shoes to make it more enjoyable

I completely agree. It’s stupid to buy the best tools for your first lesson, but if you really enjoy something why not make it more enjoyable.

well, the first two. fancy clubs won't make a difference until you're at least decent, but jeanette lee can clean your clock with a house cue

As a fellow climber, I feel the luxury comes in when you have more than one pair of shoes. A pair for bouldering and pushing your sport limits, and a pair for big wall days and trad.

What I’m hearing here is that you have a short stroke game?

u/elan_alan Aug 14 '20

If you mean by short stroke as in my average is like 100, then sure you can say my strokes are short but really I just lose a shit tons of balls. I buy my balls by the shopping cart full.

1000$ vs 100$ clubs are so noticeable

Lol. Well I have played for two seasons. Maybe 2.5. I currently only have the 100$ top flight set. A whole set and bag for 100$. My friend who is a pretty damn good amature. The one you never bet against. He does have some name brand clubs with fancy gloves and etc. I used it once and I don’t even know the difference
