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...

Hi folks, I've been playing graphite-shafted irons all my short (2 years) golfing career, but recently got a set of stiff steel-shafted clubs and I can't seem to get the hang of swinging them. They feel so much heavier than my old ones, that my hands and arms get very tired after 10 minutes with...

I was wondering what it means when people say: "my driver is neutral...or has a neutral angle"? Also is there a web site where we can see what Shafts are good for a specific club head speed? EI: 95-100mph -- the following types of shafts could be used: list them

I've heard a rumor that Ping will be coming out with a new driver. I was watching the John Deere Classic and noticed Heath Slocum using an unframiliar Ping Driver, with green highlights on the headcover. Has anyone heard anything about it? Does anyone know what its called?

Hey take a loook at TM's new driver, the R7 :-) :) http://www.greatgolfdomain.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=734

I was playing golf today as a single, and was joined up with another group of 3 players. A couple of the other players were giving me a hard time about playing with "20 year old golf clubs that were never any good anyways". They were playing with some whizzy Callaway clubs that looked expensive,...

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...

99% of tour players use a steel shaft in their irons, it was in one of the latest golf magazines. __________________ Why?

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

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. ...

How do you know if you should be using regular or stiff flex steel shafts for your irons? Would an instructor be able to tell you, or the vector launch monitor? Besides just reg and stiff, there are tons of choices for shafts, how do you help determine whats best for you? Thanks!

I know that we've covered this before, but new models etc. come out all the time soooooooo........ The re-grip season is upon us and I want to get my new Nike Slingshots re-gripped, but before I do so I'd like to get your opinions on grips. I'll start off by saying that I'm a GP...

http://www.golftown.com/gtcommerce/stores/1/category_listing.aspx?SID=1&Category_ID=20&manufacturer=NIKE%20GOLF Should be interesting to see how these preform.. I don't forsee a square driver ever in my bag... But you never know :)

TaylorMade r7 460 TP Driver ... the thing is listed @ 750$ + tax. I'd love to give one a few swings and see what it's all about, but I'm afraid I might like it and feel the need to buy it. Any thoughts on the high priced Taylor Made drivers, are YOU seeing a difference in performance that...

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.

I bought a TM R580XD from CB and a one iron from GT. I bought 200 Strata golf balls from EBAY!

What products can I use safely on the graphite shaft of my new driver to remove the adhesive? There was a UPC sticker that I had removed....but it's adhesive remains. Tried using liquid dish detergent and warm water. Toothpaste didn't work either. Anything else? I don't want to damage the nice...

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

Figured this could get funny! The first set I ever bought was these Mizuno Cimarron's, with a graphite shaft. I had no idea what I was buying, just knew that Mizuno was a great name. Well, back then I swung around 100 mph, and my shafts just kept snapping. Oops. I almost killed a guy at...

I know a putter is feel club and majors have been won with putters bought at garage sales but what have you found to be the greatest putter you've ever tried? If it isn't currenty in your bag... why not? For me it would have to be the Scotty Cameron Phantom mallet double bended heal...

Well thanks to Edmonton Golfer I have a sleeve of Red and Black here on my desk... I can't wait to try them out.. I will be playing tomorrow and over the weekend.. I will post a review on Monday.. Cheers!

anyone ever use these shafts? what are they comparable too?

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

I will not be purchasing, trading or or otherwise acquiring in any way, a single golf club this year, new or used. If Golftown stock drops... so be it :-)

Hi Everyone, I'm a beginner looking to purchase a budget set of used forged irons (250USD Max shipped). I tried out my friend's Mizuno MP60s and love the feel of them but then... I don't have much experience (nor the cash). Blades vs Cavity Backs don't matter to me since I always continue...

Any one have any driver suggesions for a driver that is easyer than most to hit off the deck. Thanks.

I just bought a pair of Oakley Half Jacket with G3o lenses for use on the links. I was just wondering what (if anything) did anyone else use? BTW, anyone else with these sunglasses? What are they like as far as contrast on the course?

I have enjoyed playing with someone that recently got a Sky CaddieGPS unit and it is amazing! Wondering how many of you out there have tried a GPS and what your likes and dislikes were. I am going to be buying one for sure, just a matter of which one.

Just got a new Adams driver after trying it out at a demo day. Tried the Callaway and Nike drivers and didn't feel I gained any distance or accuracy over my Wishon that was on it's third season. I tried it on the Bridgestone ball testing machine and was gaining about 16 yds when comparing it to...

From Wishon etech: TWGT Technical Report on Adjustable Hosel Drivers Coming Soon Many companies in the golf equipment industry are offering drivers with an adjustable hosel device. For all these drivers, the companies’ claim is that the drivers can be adjusted to a wide range of loft,...

Have any of you guys purchased the Tiger Woods addon for the P3Pro simulator yet? http://www.p3proswing.com/play/tigerwoods.php I'm looking for a few reviews before I spend $80 on the upgrade and another $25 or so on the game. Thanks, SodCuTTeR

What is the Best overall brand out there. Drivers, irons, wedges, putters.

Just curious which company is the #1 shaft around these parts. This is the first time I've tried a poll, hope I didn't mess it up.

Well, first trip to the range and I have to say, I'm a happy camper!!!!!!! I thought I'd feel pretty stiff, but I felt great. Practiced my short game with 3/4 of a large bucket, nothing but wedges. Here's how the drivers are doing so far from best to worst... 1. King Cobra 460 SZ (wow) 2....

:laughing: This could be worth a few strokes against the boyzzzzzzzzz in Mens League tomorrow afternoon :laughing: I pimped my TRACY II :-) I bet "DICK" will be jealous!:P

Extra Wood or Extra Wedge, the age old and new question. I carry right now a GW and SW with a 3W and 5W. I have in the past carried one wood along with a GW, SW, and LW. In the age of Hybrids (which are longer and go farther then 3 iron) is carrying a 3 and 5 wood old school and the putting...

It just occurred to me, that Nike probably makes the nicest looking and practical carry and cart bags I have seen in the store. I'm talking out of the big companies here, not so much with the likes of Ogio since they make some very nice ones too. What do the rest of you think? I'm going to...

I'm considering picking up a Cleveland Driver (another impulse buy) and I could use some advice. I've checked the usual online club review resources but I wouldn't mind hearing some closer-to-home comments. It seems that the TI-460, Launcher Comp 460 or the original HiBORE can be had at very...

if you have a golfwrx login, your gonna love this! http://www.golfwrx.com/forums/index.php?&showtopic=1425

Pics from golfwrx.com These irons looks great! I could see these in your bag Jordo.

Yesterday on the 9th hole at Kanata I ripped a drive (220 yards :P), and heard a weird popping sound. I was pretty sure my driver just cracked. I looked underneath and sure enough it was separated at the seam. This driver was pretty new, only 6 months used but I got it off ebay so I'm...

So i took my old faithfull G15 to GT to see if i can get a a low spin driver. Turns out the Ping G30 LS (low spin) reg. shaft brought my spin rate down by almost 2000 rev. on good hits and extra 20 yrds again on perfect hits. I was amazed at the numbers compared to my old G15, 12 deg. The best i...

I recently discovered Golfworks on Colonnade and was pleasently surprised by their prices. They have a set of irons with graphite shafts that they are selling for $127 and claim that the regular price is over $1000. They look good. Has anybody actually played this set? I think the sales guy said...
