In this post, I\u2019m going to be talking about 21 overrated and underrated golf stuff that people buy or do. Some of them are equipment while others are the strategy. Here are the most overrated\/underrated things in golf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Titleist TS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t like pretty much everything<\/strong> about the TS drivers from Titleist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price<\/strong> is pretty ridiculous and I didn\u2019t get any benefit at all compared to a driver half of the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Wilson Staff D7<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people overlook Wilson Staff products but they\u2019re actually one of my favorites<\/strong> (clubs & balls<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re affordable<\/strong>, perform really well, and are a great product for most of the average golfers out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Fairway Woods<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t used a fairway wood in a couple of seasons<\/strong> now and don\u2019t miss it whatsoever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They aren\u2019t that versatile<\/strong> and aren\u2019t the easiest thing to hit from the fairway. What\u2019s better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Hybrids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve replaced my fairway woods with hybrid clubs because I find them easier<\/strong> to hit and are more versatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They go almost as far<\/strong> but the average player could use them a lot more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Fat Grip Putters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Word on the street is that fat grips for your putter will magically lower your scores<\/strong> overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use these grips and prefer<\/strong> them<\/strong> but the truth is that they won\u2019t help you sink more putts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: A Quality Golf Glove<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I always thought all gloves were the same and it didn\u2019t really matter which one you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That all changed when I got the CaddyDaddy Claw<\/a> glove which had way more grip, a better feel, and breathable mesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Leaving The Pin In<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been leaving the pin in and it\u2019s been so much better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No more hassle of taking it out and slowing<\/strong> down<\/strong> the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s never once caused me to miss a putt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Draw Bias Clubs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is one of the crazy<\/strong> things golfers do to try to fix their swing. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t make sense to cover for a bad swing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t even fix<\/strong> your hook or slice anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Noodle Balls<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people laugh<\/strong> at the sight of a Noodle golf ball<\/a> but they\u2019re actually one of my favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guarantee you\u2019ll lose fewer<\/strong> balls on the course if you switch to these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Game-Improvement Irons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is somewhat similar to the draw bias clubs but instead of getting clubs to fix your bad swing why not just fix it<\/strong> in the first place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can then use a $100 iron set from Costco<\/strong> and be completely fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Practice<\/strong> > Gimmicks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ll just spend a couple of hours<\/strong> each week practicing you\u2019ll be far better off than going out and buying the latest and greatest golf club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Scotty Cameron Putters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This might be the greatest<\/strong> scam<\/strong> in the history of golf for the average player.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price on these things is crazy and it was no better<\/strong> for me compared to a $30 putter from Walmart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Expensive Rangefinders<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m all for knowing the precise distance to things on the course but does the average golfer really need a $500 distance finder<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tour players sure but Joe the weekend golfer<\/strong> doesn\u2019t need to be accurate to half a yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Free Golf Apps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people these days have some sort of Smartphone<\/strong> and guess what?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can get a free app<\/strong><\/a> that will tell you the distance to pretty much everything on the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: New Clubs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You probably know the guy who has the latest clubs every single year<\/strong> but still manages to spend half the round looking in the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know plenty of people who have clubs from the 90s<\/strong> and still manage to put up great scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: New Swing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you fix your swing then you can play a good round with pretty much any club out there<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spend your time and money<\/strong> at the range or get some lessons first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Buying Beer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you buy your beer at the course then I really don\u2019t know what to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount of money<\/strong> I\u2019ve been able to save by bringing my own has been a good chunk of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: Hitting Driver<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone wants to be the hero<\/strong> off the tee and you probably know it doesn\u2019t go well most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you always slice or hook<\/strong> your driver try hitting something else and you\u2019ll probably lower your score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Driving Iron<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I could always hit my driver pretty well<\/strong> but by using a driving iron or hybrid more I\u2019ve been able to lower scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put the ball 200 yards in the fairway<\/strong> and you\u2019ll most likely play better golf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Twilight Golf<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been playing a lot of twilight golf lately and it\u2019s been way better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not as hot out, there\u2019s nobody else there, and I can get on the course for under $20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overrated: 60 Degree Wedge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The average golfer<\/strong> should probably avoid the 60-degree wedge as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only use it if you need to lob the ball over<\/strong> a bunker or tree and you\u2019ll lower scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Underrated: Bump & Runs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This has been a game-changer<\/strong> for me and I\u2019d highly recommend you give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of using a 60 use your 8 or 9 iron<\/strong> to bump the ball onto the green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
