I recently got hold of my SLDR-S 12* stiff shaft driver and really like it, but I was expecting a lower ball flight due to its advertised lack of spin relative to other clubs out there. I found it very easy to hit straight and the distance was impressive, but the ball flight was still quite...

Let me explain, I have just moved over to Hunt Club and noticed two things: tight mowed fairways and deep, thick rough around greens. Question #1: If I am looking for a Lobwedge for most shots around the green, should it be high bounce or low? I used a 60* with 6* bounce and it seemed nice. ...

As a person who is a little OCD at times with cleanliness, I was looking around for threads on how to clean my clubs, and which products to use. I didnt find any discussions; only a thread by someone who cleans their clubs in their toilet. No no no no no no no no, no. Currently I'm using...

Would any serious golfer use a 1,3,5 wood with a draw bias? I have 3 Callaway woods: FT-9 Draw, FT 3 wood draw, and a FT 5 wood neutral. I went to superdome today to see the difference between the 3wood draw and the 5 wood neutral which i recently purchased. The thing i like about the 3w draw is...

Hi guys, I'm planning on buying new irons in the very near future. I've gone to GT and tried out several different models and have narrowed it down to a couple that I really like, one of them being the Ping G15's. Will I gain more by going to a place like say, Kevin Haime's and paying $85 to be...

I am posting this for my son. He is going to buy a new set of Vokey wedges "Conforming" and wants to know playability regarding Traditional (Standard) vs. C-grind. His 200 Series Vokey's are 250.08 (PW bent to 49.07*), 254.10 (SW 54.10*) and 258.08 (LW bent to 59.09*). He has never hit a C-Grind...

I was wondering if anyone has played these Nike Ignite 2 irons that Golf Town has on sale for $300.00. I know they are a re-development of an earlier nike iron (not sure which one) done so for the big box golf stores (Dicks, Golf Town). I was looking at them at Golf Town the other day and in terms...

Ok, so I am wondering what bounce most people have on Sand wedges and lob wedges? I use Cleveland 588s. 50* with 8* bounce 54* with 8* bounce I tried a 60* with 12* bounce and it was like the club kept sliding under the ball with huge divots and the ball went nowhere... that being said, I...

Any help or suggestions would be welcome. 54 years old and have a slow swing speed.looking for a new driver. Any suggestions on what driver would help with distance. Thanks

Hey guys, Wondering, what is the best online retailer for used golf clubs? Looking at purchasing clubs but don't feel like spending hundreds of dollars. What would you guys recommend for retailer? Thanks!

I've been playing for three years and I'm trying to select a new set of Irons (I've been playing with Fairway brand irons). I'd like a set that are easy to hit but more accurate than the "bargain basement" irons I've been using. I'm a fairly high handicap golfer. A good game is under 100. ...

Never had clubs fitted before, so naturally I'm probably playing with clubs that aren't 100% suited to me. I'm wondering how much it costs (roughly) to have clubs fitted? Anyone have any idea? Thx. Dan

I regripped 4 woods for a golfer yesteday and before I did this I checked the length and frequency of the clubs. The fairway woods were Mizuno T-Zoid forged, 3,5,7 and the driver was Titleist 975D. The graphite shafts indicated that they were "Regular" flex, which should have been OK for his...

Is there a difference (asside from the cost) between steel and graphite shaft as far as distance or accuracy? :confused I am using a regular steel shaft now. Would a firm graphite not be comparible? :book I've heard people say that graphite shaft are for older or golfers who are not very...

What do i look for if i were to buy a 5, 3, woods and 1 driver? I see there are degrees of loft and i don't know which to choose and shaft flex. Also since i have a set of TM200 iron i would like to match that to my set. so if you know of any good Taylor Made woods and driver could you please let...

hi, lately i've bought a new driver, which is titleist 975L*FE on a X-stiff Bimatrix Shaft. I'm curious if anyone of you plays or played that driver or what thinks about it... thanks

Nevada Bob's just opened their first store here in Montreal. As a door crasher they had 2 drivers on sale. The Taylor Made 420 cc Burner (for $100 Cdn.); and the Top Flite Strata 360 cc (For $50 Cdn). I can find all kinds of rave reviews, on the net, about the Taylor Made driver (seems to be...

O.k...Im getting a little sick/tired of these rainy weekends! I'm throwing in the towel,and looking for a rainsuit. Anyone know where to get rain gear that wont cost me as much as a new set of clubs? Any recomendations?

I recently bought a new YES Tracy II putter. After a few rounds the velcro inside the putter cover started to tear loose. My wife tried her best to restitch it and that held up for a few rounds before it started tearing loose again:( Sooooooooo today I email YES and explained the problem. I had...

HONMA GOLF,anyone know of this stuff? Have you seen the price of it!! Ck it out at Golftown website.

I'm thinking of buying the adjustable driver selling for 80 bucks at Costco. Has anybody had the opportunity to try it ? Thanks, Dave

Hi Guys & Gals I would like to know if anyone is using the SasQuatch driver. If so what are your thoughts on it as far as forgiveness and distance compared to any other drivers you have used. I have read some reviews on it by golfers, but to be honest can you really believe some of those guys who...

I have been using the same iron set for about 4 years now and they were used when i got them. I am buying my first new set but have two sets to decide between. The adams GT2 undercut irons or the La Jolla knife hybrid/irons. DOes anyone have either of these clubs? Do you have any suggestions?

This is more out of curiosity than anything as I dont see myself changing irons too soon. I know that cavity backs make it easier to get the ball into the air, as they have a low centre of gravity, but do they get the ball higher than a blade? My irons go incredibly high (great for holding...

What is the difference between rifle shafts and normal shafts.thks

Just wondering if anyone used iron headcovers to protect their forged irons from chatter. Any idea of a set out there that fits nice and tight and doesn't look stupid? I just piced up a set of MP-32's and I'm looing to keep them sharp. Any help would be appreicated.

What is that one club you've ever owned that you still have or wish you still had? For me its my 56* cleveland 588 wedge. Ive had it for years now and still love every round with it. Although the sonartec 3 wood I just got from Shellover may soon become a close second after the way i played with...

So last week I went into GT and picked up a 50 degree CG10 to fill the gap between my 46 degree PW and my 54 Taylor Made rac Black TP. I played one round with it without having to use it much and liked it. Then yesterday I played and I was spinning the ball like I had never spun a ball before. ...

Has anyone tried these hybrids? Are they any good? Hard or easy to hit? They look good and seemed to be the hybrid of choice on the NW tour. The thing is, I’m not Pro and wonder if us mortals can play with these ironwoods. Thanks Mike

Anyone play these, or have tried them in the past? Especially value the opinion of anyone having tried them in graphite as that is what I am looking at. Looking at reg flex graphite at great pricing. I am a decent golfer but still looking for something forgiving. THanks!

I came across this product and thought I would show you. With the rage of installing colored shafts this might be a cheaper way to go. You retain the shaft you like and change the color. This product is called Shaft Skins. You remove the grip on your club, slide these over and heat them with a...

I've decided it might be time to 'catch up' and start using a 460CC driver. I went to GT on the weekend to check out the Sumo squared and took a few shots with it, the sumo, the 905R & the G5. I got the best results from the 905R & the G5, w/ waaay too much spin being generated by the Nike's...

Hi! I currently own a set of Ben Hogan CFT Edge Irons and I was wondering it's possible to make lie/loft ajustment on them? If so, where are good places that provide this service? Thanks

I just got my J33R and have hit 200 at the range, I must say straight. My gamer is a 905R 757 S. The J33R NV65 S, well I ran that shaft out at 260 yds. Hit 50 with the J33R then 50 with the 905R. My 905 was right on 280 yds with 10 -15 roll, just under 300 yds. The J33R 260 yds 5 -10 yds. I need...

Hi Guys Does anyone have any experience with these irons? I picked up a set today, in like new condition, easily a 9.5 out of 10. $500. New ones currently retail for $799.99 US. So I figure I got a good deal. I also know what I paid is what was given to the former owner on trade in. (Yes, I got a...

I would have put this in the equipment section but there's nothing there for shoes - hopefully this isn't an inappropriate forum for this question. Given my propensity to play golf in less than ideal conditions, I've been wondering if it would be possible to buy rubber boots with golf spikes...

Well after only 2 rounds I am making some changes.. Do I get a medal? Or maybe a kick in the behind :wallbash So in the bag last friday: Sasquatch Tour Vsteel 3 and 5 woods TaylorMade Tp irons 50, 54 Vokeys Cleveland 60 SC SD1 putter

Just wondering how much weight you guys put into the Golf Magazine Club Test and the Golf Digest Awards when trying or purchasing new gear. I couldn't care less about the Golf Digest Awards. But the Golf Magazine Club Test, that's something I really enjoy and actually pay attention to...

I bought a pair of ecco golf shoes from golf town that are about 1 year old. Last weekend I played a round and by the end of it my feet were soaked. Is there any kind of warranty? Thanks.

What's the best way to adjust the alignment on my three wheel Sun Mountain cart? The cart pulls to the right. Perhaps more air pressure in the right tire??

I'm not sure what to say about this. http://www.golfsmith.com/products/G4701#

I promised to change my club hoing ways, and to date I still have the same clubs I had during the winter. Only difference is I am now looking for a driver and putter due to my equipment breaking. So as being a re-formed club ho, I have to say, its quite satisfying playing the same clubs day in...

OK, I have to post this after my round today. Played with one of my suppliers (his treat :) ) at the Marshes and one of his support guys who was playing rentals. The driver was a Cobra Speed LD F. Sweet Jesus what a horrible sounding club. :thumbsdow It sounds like a half empty Coke can...
