Forum: Golf Clubs

Hi all, As you can see this is my first post after having lurked for a while...anyway here goes... A friend recently gave me a used Callaway Warbird Driver with the original stiff shaft. I used it for 2-3 rounds before the head snapped off right at the hosel. So I brought it back to my...

Having missed a chance to buy used Taylor Made 200s on this forum, I thought I'd check out Chuck's for new and used fairway metals. Used Titleist 975 3 wood - $210. New Titleist 980 3-wood, $380 or so. New Mizuno 3-wood, $290. Not to pick on Chuck's as I do lots of shopping there, and am sure...

Does anybody know what utility clubs have the least amount of offset. I bought the adams gt i woods foolishly without trying them first. They have so much offset that I don't like. And in general what are your favourite utility clubs?

I was just wondering if any has any experience of making their own clubs and how to get into it, the tools required, and overall about how they feel about the clubs that they made.

Just for curiousity, What is your best driver and why??? I tried the taylor made R580 this year I think it's pretty cool. Long, very long and very good with the mist hits.:director I have an ERC II right now, I like it but feel like a cheater!!!!!:rolleyes What about yours????

Is it me or does Taylor Made put out a new driver every 3 months, it's almost getting ridiculous. This one is targeted at skilled players who build clubhead speed in excess of 95 miles per hour.With a suggested retail price of $600 US it's also for those rich golfers, I'll pass....

Hello all, as you can see by my recent posts, I'm considering purchasing a new golf shaft for my ERC II. Although I am a faithful Harrison shaft user (I love the 910 Widebody), I am looking at other options, since it seems like it might be a little outdated (released in 1997) So far, my first...

Hello all, I'm in the market for a Fujikura Shaft (Vista Tour 70) Can anyone tell me who has the best prices in town for these shafts? I contacted the guy on Carling, but he is a distributer, and does not sell the shafts himself, nor will he give out any price information. Thanks! Steve

Build one for less than 20 bucks. Great for warming up and building golf muscles.:wave

Does anyone know (with some level of certainty) where I would have the best chance at having the grips changed on a couple of clubs while I wait. In my experience, the shop at Chuck Browns Golf will do it if your timing is good but if not, it can be fairly unpredictable. The grips on a couple of...

Hey I was wondering what experiences people have had getting a driver reshafted in the Ottawa area and how long it took? Installation costs on top of the shaft and grip? Thanks a lot

Anyone know where i can get natural grips put onto my clubs (driver at least). I checked at Chuck Brown's and the guy looked at me like i was crazy... any suggestions?

Does anyone know of anyone that can reshaft this club - aside from Callaway? Chuck Browns and Pro-Golf Discount couldn't do it because of the way the C4 is made with it's Carbon Head. To my knowledge I don't think anyone aside from Callaway can do this - but then again... what do I know. Thanks ...

Does anyone have any experience with this shaft? I hit it a few times and it seemed very nice, forgiving and a nice tip response. I just took my driver in to CB's at lunch to get reshafted with this. Pick it up on Wednesday afternoon. Can't wait!

Hey I have a quick question for all you equipent inclined geniouses :). I have had the chance to try a demo club of a 975D and hit really well with it. Also like hitting with a 320Ti. I know the choice is upto me. Both clubs were 9.5 degree lofts and RH. What would most of you choose...

Has anyone used one yet? Do they like it? It sure is crazy looking!

Every wannabe should know this; definition of bounce by Golfsmith: Bounce is an intentional design condition of the sole angle of an iron, measured in degrees, in which the trailing edge of the sole is below the leading edge(most often applied to sand wedges and high lob wedges). As a rule the...

I bought a "Strata" driver from CB's. The reason I bought it was b/c I hit the club so well at the range and course. I was very hesitant to buy this club, b/c as far as I know Strata only makes golf balls. Is this a knock-of? or a generic club with the Strata name attached? or other? It has a...

Hi there, A friend has offered to sell me a Callaway C4 9 degree driver for 200 bucks. Just wondering what some people here think about it. I've been doin' a bit of research on it, and found that it was discontinued. What was wrong with it? Thanks Yun

If i have woods in 22 and 26 degrees what irons will they most likely replace?

I'm sure most of you have seen this thing advertised on the Golf Channel. Peter Kessler's Perfect Club. I just ordered one of these demo models from the Internet. Not a bad deal, $99 U.S. plus shipping considering the new graphite ones go for $199 U.S. Has anyone had any experience with this?...

Greetings! I've just started playing golf last year and have become quite the addict. Recently, I've been looking around for a newer/ more advanced set of irons to replace the current set of clubs I currently have (Ascend Nitros, if you've ever heard of them). Anyways, I've come across, what I...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone had any advice as to when graphite shafts for irons are ok before you have to cross over to steel shafts. I just got my clubs over ebay. The person was nice enough to have sent over the original steel shafts along with the installed graphite shafts. Any...

I need to buy a new set of irons, but am unsure of what type are best suited to my swing and game. Does anybody know any reputable places where I can get tested and or talk to someone knowledgable about what kind of irons are best suited for me. I've tried different sets on my own the last few...

Im 6 '2 and using standard length irons. Do you any of you taller players have the lie angle adjusted on your irons to compensate for your height? At 6'2 should I really be playing with a longer than standard club length? Would like to hear any thoughts, suggestions. Thanks

Upon reading the following article on the size of golf tees: http://dyn.pga.com/news/industry/spikeongolfsizematters051503.cfm I'm curious do most people use the standard 2 1/4 tee or do some like myself have a stash of longer tees (2 3/4) to use with your driver.

I'm looking for feedback from people who have been fitted at Golfworks. I'd like to get this done and I want to know if it's worth it. Thanks

I am looking for a set of used irons in the 250 - 350 dollar range. Can anybody recommend a store (or stores) in the Ottawa area that has a good selection of used clubs? Thanks for the info.

Hi, I tried the ping isi irons out a really long time ago but can't really remember them. Anyways the older ping irons like the eye 2, zing, isi have more of a rounded sole compared to edgier irons like almost everything out there. Do you think because of the rounded sole the ping irons would...

Has anyone heard of this club, supposedly it's not a Tight lies.

I'm looking for a golf aid club like a Medicus or Refiner Pro club. I can always order from their website in the States but any retail stores sell anything like this? Anybody have any experience using a hinged iron or driver? What about the Momentus heavy iron? thanks.

Hi, I'm going to buy two adams i woods (last year models) to replace my 4 and 5 irons. What degrees should I get. I used to think 18deg and 24deg but I'm having doubts now as i have done more research. I have maxfli revolution irons by the way if that helps. Any help would be greatly...

Anyone have any feedback on these clubs. A guy at work is trying to sell them, they're steel sensicore shaft(stiff). I've read most of the "online" reviews. Just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback. I'm going to try them out on Friday hopefully. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have kind of a baseball grip when I golf except that my left thumb runs down the shaft. Anyways I was just swinging with my putter for fun and the grip on it felt so good. It's one of those grips that is flat on the top part (where my thumb would be) and round for the rest of the grip. ...

Has any one tried the Fujikura Shaft, Mike Weir says he uses that shaft along with Ernie Els. I know there is a distributor here in Ottawa for the shaft on Carling Ave. Any info will be appreciated.

I'm looking for opinions from golfers that play the Ping I3 blades (or are familiar with them). I currently shoot in the low 80's with my Ping Eye 2+ (circa 1992 clubs) and want to progress to a better club. My shots are straight with my Ping Eye irons, however, I tend to pull and/or draw the...

I’ve been asking around about this shaft for a while and I’m going to have the opportunity this weekend to try it out for myself once and for all. So, before I commit to taking the time and / or spending the money, I wanted to ask one last time for any first-hand reviews. I’m curious to know how...

Hey ! I bought a used set of clubs last year. They're great Tommy Armour's with graphite shafts. However..i find that the shafts are too long..because i have to choke up on them quite a bit. Would someone give me some kind of guide as into getting them cut..where to go to get that done..and how...

Anyone ever had their clubs regrooved and where. I have a Cleveland sand wedge with very worn grooves basically gone at bottom third. Otherwise club is in good condition. Also anyone using a RAC sand wedge I'd like to read your review. Thanks all.

I have been reading about these ssk shafts. I have a set of clones that I am passing on to my son and would like to put these shafts in them for him. Where should I go in ottawa to have them re-shafted and regripped. He cannot use them as is as they are presently oversized for a tall golfer....

Taylor Made Series 300 (360 actually) Any suggestions as to what brand / type is best for this head ? Oberservation: Isn't flex point choice related to individual swing types ? Aren't we always trying to modify our swings, thus affecting the club properties, subsequently the flex point ...

Just traded my Maxfli's for a set of Apex's....... Does anybody know where i could get the specs for these as they don't make them anymore,the web site doesn't have them.... Thanx!

Does anyone have any experience with Adams Tight Lies ST Driver. In particular the ST 3 Driver. Any feedback would be appreciate.

Any of you owns a Bang driver custum made by Staight ball. How do you like it compared to the big name company one? As it improved your drive ? I am asking cause I am looking for a new driver and talked to Steve about Bang driver but would like the opinion of other golfers who have one. thanks

I was talking to a guy who has been golfing for 30 years who said the pros at his course say that 90% of golf is between the ears (I would argue that this is more accurately translates to swing technique), but of the remaining 10% that relies on the equipment, about 90% of that is reliant on the...
