Forum: Golf Clubs

This thread was made because i was fed up seeing poor service from Taylor Made evertime I clicked onto the forum section. Now you will have to put up with how I spelt Taylor Made.

Hi I’m going to be purchasing new ping i200 irons in the next few months. I’ve never seen them go down in price but I was wondering if anyone has input on the best time to buy? I know they have a trade in event coming around April, but I’m not sure how great of a deal my old clubs will get me (...

Played golf on Friday with a manager of a local golf store and the gentleman who does their club repairs. The conversation came around to the quality of the stock shafts than many major manufacturers put in their expensive drivers. I won't reveal all the details of the conversation, but the word...

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...

Hastily stuck together an 18* Hybrid club made by Wishon Golf(321LI) last Tuesday morning before the Senior Intersectional matches and hit a few balls with it during warmup. Have used it a week and a half now and cannot believe how straight the ball goes off the club face. Always sceptical...

There is a perception that many people have that if you pay more for something, its quality must be better. Fujikura and Accuflex shafts must be better because they cost more. According to Tom Wishon, the only time that the manufacture of a golf shaft becomes more expensive to make is when...

Juat Curious. When you buy a set of irons from GT, do they offer to have the lie angles checked and adjusted, if necessary? If yes, do you hit each club, have it adjusted, and hit them again until perfect, or do they adjust them once and deliver them to you. Or, do they have you swing a...

September 9 issue of Golf World, page 12 has a short article of what the USGA has planned for drivers for the 2006 season. We all know that modern drivers are too forgiving and that the skill is being taken out of the game. In recent years we have seen the USGA reduce the maximum size of the...

I am curious to know if those of you who have adjustable weights in your drivers, actually notice a difference in the flight path of the ball, when the weights are moved around. It would seem to me that one would need to have a very consistent swing to see any kind change.

I have often whined about the quality of the shaft assembly of OEM sets purchased at local retailers. Often, the frequency or stiffness of the shafts is a lot less than what is stamped on the shaft. Today, I checked a set of Wilson, Deep Red, Fat Shaft irons, "Regular" flex. On my frequency...

What is the normal difference in inches between shafts that have a HIGH kick point and ones that have a LOW kick point?

It is written that the perfectly fit golf club may contribute as much as 10% to the overall distance a golfer can hit the ball. It is more likely to be in the 4% to 8% range. The fitting parameters listed in the poll all have some influence on the distance hit, but some have a greater influence...

From a recent "Golf World" magazine there were a few interesting statistics on the material used in the irons of players at the recent Buick Classic. 65% of the players use forged irons and 35% used cast irons. Of those who used forged irons, 73% were cavity back forged, while 27% played blade...

In the recent clubmaker's magazine issued by Golfsmith, there was an indication that in the next few years there may be a shortage of carbon fiber (graphite) that is used in our beloved graphite shafts. Apparently the airline industry is now making a lot of its parts using carbon fibers and is...

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...

i just came in from hitting a gazillion drives, using 7 different drivers, with 7 different shafts, but the same length. The shafts ranged in flex from "L" to "S". My purpose was to see if there was any difference in club head speed while using a wide variety of shaft flexes. I averaged the...

For those who do NOT have access to Tom Wishon’s monthly tech reports, there is an interesting article about the benefits of the high MOI, square shaped drivers. He stated that most 460 cc drivers produced in ’05 and ’06 were in the 4200 g-cm2 range and that the highest new driver was near 5200...

To those who have experimented with various 3+ wood clubs, is there one that was obviously longer than the rest? I recently added a Bobby Jones hybrid to my collection and the ball flies longer and straighter than a similarly lofted and significantly longer fairway wood. There is just something...

I wonder how much Tiger is being paid by PING to have its grip on Tiger's Titleist putter?

Does anyone know if Ping Canada will do loft and lie adjustments? Thanks gb

Hello Everyone: Has anyone hit or does anyone own a V-Steel 3 or 5 wood. I am looking at these clubs and wonder what the feedback is. What is the ball flight like, how does it look at address and how does it play when teed up? I play taylor made irons and like them a lot. I have just always been...

Has anyone played with the Vokey Spin Milled Wedges? I was looking at buying a 60*. Do the milled grooves increase spin rate? Do the wedges tear layers of the ball off? What is the reason or benefit for us (non-professionals) to buy an oil-can as opposed to chrome / gunmetal? I am also...

Has anyone played the Bridgestone Tour B330. IT has been gettin rave reviews not to mention rated better than the ProV1. I play the ProV1, but am tempted to switch. A friend of mine plays only the V1x and said these balls are beutiful. I am curious if anyone else has tried them. How...

I am always in search of the "ultimate" items. As someone who apparently always thinks that the grass is always greener on the other side I have come to the closest I will ever get to golf professionals to ask this very serious golf question. Who has the ultimate golf bag and what makes it the...

I have never really given this too much thought until recently. How much does everyone consider 'bounce' in their wedges for Ottawa golfing? I have always played standard bounce because I am a digger, but wonder does if make that much of a difference. I would love to hear what you guys have...

Has anyone played this shaft? I just bought a 904F with this shaft and am curious as to the way it performs? I am not sure if it is the six, or the pro95, but it is stiff. Hard to find a lot of reviews on it.

Well I have been browsing these forums for quite a few years and I notice the same people purchase and trade golf clubs on a regular basis. I am curious why this is the case here. I have been golfing for quite a few years (12 or so) and can count the sets of irons I have had through my tenure: ...

So I wanted to share my excitement with fellow club fanatics. I just purchased a Whiteboard from Toronto Golf Nuts, brand new uncut and it is the 63g model. I also decided to purchase a 2009 Taylormade Burner 9.5 degree head. I am thinking this combo is not going to be as low as I would like,...

Advice needed. I bought a pair of the 360 Tour last year and the gentlemen at T&L and at Golftown said the were the shiznit, I bought at T&L. They are very comfrotable, I've played 30 or so rounds in the sun but never in the rain. My first game in the rain came 2 weeks ago which was made more...

Getting a refund.
