Forum: Golf Clubs

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...

Just wanted to share with all golfers who visit this forum about my most recent experience trading in my old golf clubs. Went through the process with Golf Avenue. Nowadays, most online retailers take trade-ins but Golf Avenue was the company that offered me what I believed was the most...

In the past I have received some truly excellent service from both Callaway and Adams Golf – companies that stand behind their product and are willing to go the extra mile. And then on the other end of the scale is Taylor Made – the company with the WORST customer service in the golf industry. ...

I am an 18 - 20 handicap and have a normal swing speed. After selling off my Wison Aggressor pro graphite irons at the end of last season, I need a new set of irons and am considering these two options (Mizuno mx-20 and Ping i/3 o size). I have tried the new titleist 822OS and did not like the...

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,...

I just bought a set of Titleist 690 CB's from Ebay that were supposed to be in great shape with only normal wear and tear. The lower clubs 7-PW have the wear in the sweet spot that forged clubs get, no big deal. All clubs have bag chatter that forged clubs get, again no big deal. The 8 iron has...

I have a full set of Kenneth Smith clubs I want to sell and I have no clue how much they are worth. HELP!!!!! Kr79831 :meditate:

I came across this driver, not sure if others were aware. I assume it will be released shortly. Kind of looks like the R7 Limited. This may be the driver for Indio:

Are SMT drivers legal in amateur and professional tournaments. If so, why don’t we see these drivers on tour?

another lurker emerges.... I love everything about my new 983E....except the stock Graphalloy prolite S. This shaft is just dead in this club. I'm sure it's the 2.5 (or whatever) bore-through killing the tip, but I also think the shaft is too light for me ( hey, I thought I would try something...

anyone playing wilson staff ci7 or ci9 irons? thinking of buying some! any input would be appreciated. thank you very much.

Hello. I'm considering buying a new set of irons this year, and I'm wondering what the difference is between steel shafts vs graphite shafts....are graphite shafts more forgiving?, easier to play with? or are they harder to control? I've been playing for a few years now and have always had steel...

Just curious what kind of sunglasses people wear golfing. Any specific features? Any specific lenses? How much do you pay for glasses? Thanks

I recently went to the huge golf sale at Chuck Brown and I bought a set of Alien irons that were designed by Pat Simmons.. The look of them is non conventional, and the feel of them is more like a blade. I play with an old set of Tiger Shark irons designed by Pat Simmons now and I love the short...

Anyone still use a 7 wood vs hybrid or iron? Or, even a 5 wood vs hybrid or iron? Are the fairway woods easier to hit? Better distance and accuracy over hybrids and irons?

Hi Everyone I have a question. Is it possible to buy a Nike NDS 2 iron? At Golf town I was told it would be next to impossible. Does anyone know where I can get one then? Thanks

Starting the year I am thinking of puting as many as three hybrids in the bag. I am wondering how many hybrids you have in your bag and what your handicap is. My index is about 0.2 and I was wondering if other low hadicappers are playing a lot of hybrids too. Thanks.

In recent months, Golf Avenue has really increased their prices on used clubs. I don't know if this due to their affiliation with Golf Town or not. They used to be reasonably priced compared to other used golf club sites. But now, they're getting ridiculous for the prices they're charging. You can...

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...

I fitted/built two sets of Wishon Stirling Single length irons this past season. One of the sets included the 56* SW, all at 37"long with a lie angle of 62.5* on KBS TOUR "S" shafts, the other was 5 to PW no SW at 36 5/8th" with a lie angle of 62* on XP95 R300's..This customer opted for a more...

What is everybody using? I am still in search for a golf shoe that lasts more then a season. I have Foot Joy Contours right now, they are super comfortable but they are falling apart after a season and a half of play. I had Nike's before these and they didn't make it to the end of there first...

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...

I think I suffer from this affliction. It's not totally baseless, but my comparables are based on GT sims. I've always liked the idea of the "sponsored" bag, but could never settle comfortably on one brand. Try and stay with me for a few minutes. Biases: Callaway - Always liked...

I lost my TaylorMade Aeroburner 7 Iron (man, right, graphite, regular). I look for a replacement. Any 7 iron (man, right, graphite, regular) would be fine.

Hi, I am looking to purchase a set of 'as forgiving as possible' irons for someone that shoots in the mid to high 90s. Most likely I would buy used so looking for recommendations on sets that might be 2-3 years old now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Looking for some advice... I currently have a Driver, 3 wood, 4i, 5i, etc. I am looking for something to fill the gap between the 4i and 3 Wood. Wondering if I should get a 5 Wood or perhaps a 3 Hybrid. I am leaning more towards the Hybrid as I believe it gives me a few more playable...

Anyone own an XE 1 wedge? Opinions? I think it's probably a good wedge for higher handicapped players

what is the best shaft out there.... and yes i know about 12431543 people are gonna chirp about u need the right shaft for you and all this nonsense...just give me youir honest opinion skindawg

I've been golfing since the late 90s. Decent club head speed. Became pleased with my game over the years putting, wedges, driver, and hybrids, but irons were a disaster even if swung with high end Titlist irons that I might rent on a golf holiday. I just got fed up and left all my irons out of...

I just bought a set of forged blades (iron set) and have notice that I have lost distance. I have lost about 51-0 yards (1/2 club difference) through the pw to 3 iron. I hit a long ball and play to a 6 handicap. If I deloft my iron set 2 degrees, will I gain the distance back, and hopefully not...

Hey Taking a few lessons this spring has shown me that I need to get away from my old Wilson Staffs and go to game improvement iron route. I'd like to find a set of game improvement irons with a thin top line. None of the current model year sets seem to have this. Does anyone know of any...

Another Update! As of 9 Feb. '05 - red. With several feet of snow on the ground (we have more here in Petawawa than Ottawa), and with the first round of the year still too many months off, my mind has turned once again to equipment. So how about another "In the Bag" thread, but this time let's...

I see all the pros primarily working with a single club brand and I know a lot of that has to do with money and endorsements... But what do most people here do? I have pretty much maxed out my number of brands right now with: Taylor Made Driver Adams 4 Wood Callaway 3 Hybrid ...

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...

I've used a 60° degree wedge before and I'm currently using a 58° wedge. I've seen some 64° but check this wedge out at 73°, definitely for some crazy flop shots. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280039475428&ssPageName=ADME:B:FSEL:US:1

Hi guys/gals, I have had quite the experience over the last couple days. First I had my Callaway FT purchase on ebay cancelled, due to the seller not having anymore in stock, and THEN..... after seeing a brand new set of G15's on kijiji, for $500 - I thought I would inquire about those. I had...

Hi; My brother in law gave me his broken Calaway Great Big Bertha 2 driver for Christmas. He snapped the shaft, he wouldn't say how, and I had admired it when I played with him this fall. Anyway it has a RCH Pro Series 5.2, he loved the shaft, but he hits the ball 270-290 and I only hit...

They have a driver at golfotwn for $1400+tx and they have a set of irons for $5499, fairway wood for $649... who are these people who are buying this stuff???? Holy crap. I thought they were made of solid gold when I saw them.. ahaha

Wondering what features made you choose the range finder vs the GPS. Read previous threads on each but no real chat about pros/cons. Not that I am anti-technology but the Pinseeker seems to be the simplest to use, just point and click. Had a buddy buy a top of the line GPS last year on our MB...

Great set of links you have on the links page, Dan. I was wondering.... I don't seem to be able to find a golf retailer online in Canada. Shipping from the States is expensive and confusing, and the customs and duties you pay at the border are never outlined to you. Is there (or have you ever seen)...

Just wondering if anybody has these in their irons? Was curious if they play like an extra stiff or a little softer? Seeing that they are lighter than the regular Dynamic Gold I was thinking they might play softer because of the lighter steel (perhaps thinner walls). Any input would be appreciated.

Just watched this online thought I would share. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjFPLKXhDEU&feature=g-u-u&context=G2dfdcceFUAAAAAAAFAA Cheers,

Hello All, Does anyone have any experience with SMT Golf Components? Good or Bad? I am considering the Line and I would love to hear any feedback! Thanks in Advance!

For those of you that visit golfwrx.com site, check out the pics of the new 2008 Titleist lineup of irons. They are getting some very mixed reviews. Very different look coming from Titleist.
