Anybody ever hit these irons? Opinions????

Has anyone change shafts on their Callaway x14 clubs? I have the unishafts but I am thinking of changing to the true temper Dynamic Gold lites(steel).

I've been playing for three years and I'm trying to select a new set of Irons (I've been playing with Fairway brand irons). I'd like a set that are easy to hit but more accurate than the "bargain basement" irons I've been using. I'm a fairly high handicap golfer. A good game is under 100. ...

Hi, I was just wondering what has been people's experiences with WinnGrips on their irons. I had all my irons regripped this Winter with WinnGrips based on good feedback from a couple of fellow golfers but then I started to hear things like: - Not good grips in rainy weather or very humid...

Hi, just a quick question. I am on the market to buy a new driver and don't know which one to get. I just tried the new Taylor Made 540,9.5,stiff. I liked it but I want to make sure that it's the right one for me cause I don't want to spend my hard earned money on something that's going to look...

What's up with all these long and soft balls like the new SoLo http://www.titleist.com/balls/details.asp?id=6 There's also the Noodle and the Dunlop Loco. What are peoples experience w/ these type of balls or is it all just hype. I've never played them yet. :bigcheek

Has anyone used or does anyone know anything about these two Penley shafts, and would you recommend them over UST Proforce Gold or Grafalloy Prolite? I have one "heresay" review that the ETA's a great shaft, but would like to hear firsthand. Thanks. Rob

Hi, Just a quick question here. I am on the market for a new driver, I tried the new Taylor Made 540,9.5, stiff shaft. I liked it but not to sure if it is the one for me and don't want to spend the money to have it sit in the bag and use my 3 wood all the time. I bought a driver last year (TM...

I am thinking of replacing the steel shafts on my set of irons with graphite. Since the graphite shafts are much lighterwhat effect will this have on the feel of the club? Should I adjust the club lenght to compensate? Should I add weight to the heads? Or is it just a straight replacement?...

Custom clubs. More specifically I'm looking for Driver (400cc range), 3w and 5w. I'm looking for feedback from people who bought custom clubs in the Ottawa region. Where did you get your clubs? How was the service? What was the approximate cost? Are you happy with the results? Thanks

:) Dan . I have a quick question for you. Gary Hill is looking after rules, Colin Orr after instruction , a new guy(sorry I forget his name at the moment) after Carolina golf, Steve Karam after the Ottawa Golf tour and the retrieving of wedges from different ponds in the area. Is it in your plans...

Does anyone know much about Grafalloy Prolite 35 shafts? Last year I tried UST Proforce Gold regular and stiff in my driver, and couldn't hit the stiff one at all, so went back to the regular flex. I tried a Grafalloy 35 stiff indoors recently and it actually felt great, much more feel than the...

My clubs are showing some wear from the other club heads rubbing up against them in the bag and I was considering getting them refinished or buffed. They are made of stainless steel. Does anyone know if refinishing would cause any degradation to the original club face? Does buffing take out...

In your opinion what is the most forgiveness drivers on the market today?

Since most golfers have slicing/hooking problems why not ban the use of the driver. It is the less forgiving club in the bag and the so called experts all claim that the more lofted clubs impart less sidespin and more backspin therefore straighter shot. Did you know that standard drivers 20 years...

Does anyone know of any places for custom club makers in the Ottawa? From what I can tell so far the price for a set of "knock off"irons is about half the price of the brand name irons. Do you guys think that the "knock offs" are as good as the brand names or do they lack in quality? Im in the...

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...

Hello, I need some advice. I bought some 3 metal and 5 metal club heads and some TT Xl lite steel shafts for these clubs and I brought them to a 'clubfitter' I tried them out and hit them poorly. I am not a poor golfer and can hit both clubs from the rough, fairway and tee with no difficulty. ...
