If anyone had any questions about the differences between OEM and Tour equipment, particularily from Taylor Made, perhaps a read through this is worthwhile. "Tour Vs Tp" copied from a portion of GolfWRX Audio Chat Transcripts Dr. Benoit Vincent is Taylormade's Chief Technical Officer ...

I'm trying to figure out the bag for the up-coming season and I'm looking for some opinions re: wedge set-up. My two primary sets of irons both have 47* PWs I currently have a traditional 52, 56 and 60 degree 4 wedge set-up but I'm thinking of going with a 52 58 this year to gain an extra FW or...

I'm in the marker for a new driver and I'm interested in your opinions around which is the most forgiving driver out there. My miss (assuming that my new swing continues to take hold) is a power fade. Since it isn't a full blown slice and also because I hate the look of off-set woods, I'm not...

There was a seller on ebay selling a complete set of Ping G5 clubs. Driver, 3w, 5w, 3-pw, sw, leather staff bag, travel case. He spelt ping "png" and complete "compete" wrong so those who did find the auction would think.. wow no one else is going to find this, I'm going to get this really cheap....

OK since there is always lots of healthy debates over what irons are best to play, according to your handicap I thought it might be interesting to do a poll. :) I broke it down into different types of irons so we can cover the entire range 1. MB's are ones like the Titleist 690MB's 2. Forged...

Do you believe original equipment clubs hit the ball farther than components clubs. If so please elaborate.

I recently traded Mr. St. Michael my Ping G2 w/ Diamana for a Cally FT-5 w/ stock E150. First off, the specs: FT-5 10* Draw w/ stock r-flex E150 Anyone that is familiar with Cally and the FT line knows the drivers are a mix of titanium and graphite composite. The head is much deeper...

Like some other websites making reviews of golf clubs, I am interested to know which wedge(s) you consider are the best on the market. Finally, companies like Callaway and Ping released wedges that have a traditional look (like Cleveland and Titleist Vokey, i.e. looks like forged wedge with no...

C'mon, you know who you are! ;) I'm going to throw out a challenge to all you dyed-in-the-wool-one-brand-do-or-die high end ball fiends out there. I used to be one too, until economics forced me to search for the best performing, least wallet-squeezing alternative. Most recently I've tried...

Okay boys and girls, it's almost time. I can see grass in my backyard, even if it is all casual water. It's been a while since we did a What's in the Bag on Ottawa Golf. So what is your starting line-up for the Spring? Any major changes? I've been at the Montreal Golf Dome almost every week,...

If money was no object, what 14 clubs would you carry in your bag? What balls would you use? 1. R7460 TP 10.5* or 11.5* reg flex RE*AX 60 shaft - Cut down to 44" 2. G5 3W 15* 75g Prolaunch shaft reg flex 3. G5 5W 18* 75g Prolaunch shaft reg felx 4. TM resuce 19* steel shaft reg flex (no...

Well our dollar is now par but apparently we still have to pay an additional 35% + tax for the same item in Canada as opposed to buying it in the US. I know that suppliers purchase items well in advance but it should still be considerably closer as our dollar hasn't been that far off in a...

Finally its done. Picked up the final pieces today. Here it is: Driver: 10.5* 983K w/ s-flex Harrison Stripper J 3 Wd: 13.5* 975F w/ s/x flex Harrison Classic Lite (Thanks scotty and langille5) Hybrid: 19* CFT w/ 3 flex steel shaft (Thanks Saint) Irons: 990-B 3-PW w/ DG S300

How many of you bought a new driver during this season. And did it improve your game. I bought an TM R7 Limited driver in Houston last month and have really improved my driving both in distance and accuracy. I hit the first six fairways in a row on Saturday and finished with 12/14 with my...

Hey just wondered if anyone knows anything about Raven irons.. I see a set of left handed blades for sale but have never heard of them?? Price is damn cheap.... thanks.

I had 1 pair. The guys at GT were super nice I spent 4 hours trying on shoes. I normally try someone on leave get hoem wear them for 30 min and say these aren't for me. They told me if I play ~100 games a year or more I should have a few pairs. Made sense! Picked up 06 Tiger Woods Tour shoes...

From Callaway. http://www.callawaygolf.com/EN/Feature.aspx?feature=45 Far and away the most popular type of irons, these account for roughly 84% of all iron sets sold. Also known as cavity back irons, investment cast irons represented a quantum leap in golf club design when they first appeared...

I'm trying to decide which 3 wood to buy. I should mention that it'll be used off the tee ONLY. It will not be hit off the fairway. So, if you know a 3 wood which hits well of a tee, please let me know of your recommendation.. THanks.

So, after playing a few rounds with dan this year (only person I play with who uses GPS) I've decded to purchase I unit. Please tell me everything I need to know about getting myself set up for this. I'm under the impression that I do not need to pay monthly fees for GPS. All I need is the...

I have been pondering with the idea of going to blades, if for no other reason then the fact that I love the look and feel of them. i've only been playing a couple of years. I am probably an 8-10 handicap but getting better as the days go on. need your input on whether this is a bright idea or not....

I am back playing golf after 5 years of not playing. I have been playing off and on for 40+ years. I am at best a bogey golfer, although I do have moments. I purchased a Cobra driver and a 3 and 5 TaylorMade dual rescue hybrids this year. I have also taken several lessons and my game is coming...

found these tonight....Getting one of these bad boys off ebay for sure! the nicest bag I have ever seen! poll added having a hard time picking the bag I want...like them all. what should I get!

Just curious as to how many of you have the same make/model of wedges? I went to a 52*vokey and 56*,60* clevland dsg this year, thought the vokey was a lot nicer on long shots but really liked the versatility the dsg had for around the greens. So far it seems to be working and wondered how many...

this is the exchange i had with an ebay store via email ================== Hello, I am interested in these clubs but first I wanted to know the serial numbers on the clubs so i can call Callaway and confirm that they are authentic. Thank you. ================== 14000+ positive is...

Two weeks, two drivers. 1st a Nike Sumo. 2nd a Ping G5 I'm 6'7", 260lbs and grip and rip but I'm a 11 handicapped golfer so it's not like I'm doing anything stupid. Any suggestions on a club head/shaft that suits a high club head speed/power hitter?

i'm looking to buy a hybrid club to replace my 3 iron. $199 (no tax) is probably the most i would pay. anyone have any recommendations? i'm also a high handicap, if that has any impact on the brands. thx.

After playing a couple of rounds this weekend with some of the better players at my club and peeking in the bag of others I noticed something. Most of them were using midsized to oversized game improvement irons. These were the irons being played with cap in brackets: MX-20s (4) Mizzy...

Just curious how many hybrids each of you carries? Some obvious choices since the decision by manufacturers to strengthen lofts, is to replace your 3 & 4 irons. However I wonder if some here have an all-in-one purpose club. I.e. a certain loft utility just for rough/high long shots etc. ...

Assumption: a pure draw starts right of target line and gently curves back to target line. Who would benefit from a draw bias driver? Golfers who: 1. Pull? - No, because the ball would curve farther left 2. Pull/Hookers? - No, because the ball would curve farther left 3. Left to right...

This is what I'm going to do over the next two months, since I can't swing a club. I'm going to buy four or five drivers, probably a year or two old, and outfit them with the same shaft (from golfworks). My goal is to give each one of them a chance, keep the one that suits my game and sell the rest...

Took one out for a test drive today. Shafted with Diamana Blue Board. Interesting to say the least. Par 5 480ish: Played in a scramble today with some friends. When one of my team mates put one out in the middle of the fairway I knew I could swing away. Aimed between two trees at the...

Do you use a 52-56-60 or a 50-54-58 set up or other

Looking to pick up the r7 425 but thinking of maybe holding off until the 460cc dual weight r7 comes out... I hit the r7 425, its amazing, the new fuji shaft is awesome! Same shaft in the r7 460. Any thoughts? Need a 5 wood as well, don't like my g5 5 wood anymore. Finally, looking for a...

Anyone find that these play stiffer than advertised? Or are UST's frequency limits higher than the industry standard? I was using a FT 3 with a V2 stiff (had 267 or 276 CPM, can't remember which one) on the shaft. But man, was that thing stiff. I've never played a s-flex labelled shaft that I...

Simple...what is the loft on your driver?

Just wondering how many people do NOT use golf gloves, since most do. I used one for many years but stopped one year because I got tired of taking it on/off all the time. I know, it is SO much trouble :rolleyes I did not use it for putting. I have now gotten used to not having a glove for...

I know these wedges just recently came out and i know nothing about them... I'm thinkin that the regular SM series chewed up balls like crazy, now combine that with the rust that will eventually form on the face of the OCs... are these gonna cost guys a ProV with every wedge shot? (ie: are...

Apparently Grafalloy has the next great graphite shaft coming onto the market. Read about it here. I like the 20 extra yards that Grafalloy claims! :thumbsup Plus added accuracy :thumbsup :thumbsup GC ADAM BARR REPORT

Blade or mallet style? Which do you use and for what reason besides it feels comfortable. I was thinking about it, and I haven't actually ever heard anyone say they are offline a lot with a mallet style putter. Most of the issues are with feel and speed control that I hear about. What are...

I don't know if its just me, but does anyone else enjoy hitting the 3 wood and hybrid more then the driver? i've been killing my hybrid (17 degree) off the tee and i just seem to get a lower trajectery (spelling?) and more run out from the hybrid and 3 wood. the 3 wood and hybrid just feel so much...

Just wondering what would be your dream iron set if money was not an object.Something that you drool over whenever you see a picture of them. For me it would be the new Cally prototype forged irons sold at GolfTown for 1400.00. Remember money is no object and indicate what they sell for.:):)
