Can anyone recommend a good sturdy flight bag please?
I’m assuming baggage handlers still chuck golf club bags around like normal luggage….
Thanks.

Nowhere near Surrey though!
Have been able to borrow one as it it happens - for my lad who’s playing a tournament in Abu Dhabi in a few weeks.
Unfortunately I’ve got to be his chaperone…

Picked my new purchase up the other night, and I've finally got round to managing to get it out of the car....
Advice I'd give at this point is that if you are intent on picking up an electric trolley in a 1 Series Coupé, it will go in the back seat with less than an inch to spare. However getting it out again is a little bit more challenging....
Very nice. My PowaKaddy CT6 just turned over 100 miles yesterday. Let us know how you get on with it..Advice I'd give at this point is that if you are intent on picking up an electric trolley in a 1 Series Coupé, it will go in the back seat with less than an inch to spare.

I would recommend getting the bag, screen cover and accessory set for it if you haven’t already.

Has anyone ordered / tried DTC clubs from brands like Sub70, Caley Golf or Takomo?
Seen some Caley clubs local to me 10 clubs in total for about £200. Wonder if they might be worth a punt at that price?
I bought a Sub70 putter for my lad, single block CNC milled, for £160. It's absolutely gorgeous, would definitely recommend.Seen some Caley clubs local to me 10 clubs in total for about £200. Wonder if they might be worth a punt at that price?
I like but don't love their irons, dangerously close in price to stuff like JPX Hot Metal.
Tommy Armour III and a few other pros use Sub70 gear, I like the branding a lot.
Edit to add: Caley for £200 is great for an absolute beginner?

What would be the result of using more upright/shorter irons? Six footer currently using standard black dot Ping 425s.
Would depend a lot on what you're trying to achieve, you're going to have to deliver on a steeper plane if you go short and upright. I'm 6" and play 1/4 long, 1deg upright, being fit is important imo. 
Just treat myself to a Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putter.
When I started playing I bought a blade type putter but didn't like it so swapped it for a Taylormade SpiderX mallet type, however had been messing around with a friends Scotty Cameron at the office recently on a putting mat and all seemed good, so made the purchase.
Lovely thing, although haven't used it on course yet as only arrived last week and am currently not playing due to physio on my knee which I need to sort before a golfing holiday to Portugal in 3 weeks.

Going to a more upright club will typically promote more of a draw, and shorter means you'll generate slightly less swing speed so will lose a little distance. I'm 6 foot 1 and play 0.5 inch long but standard lie. According to my fitter I should really be playing them 1 Degree upright for a "proper" fit, however my natural shape is a draw so he recommended keeping them standard to counteract that.
Last time I played Pings I was using Black Dot as well, however as that was a set of Eye 2 BeCus in 1996 things may have changed slightly
