Forum: Golf Clubs

This topic came up between myself and a few other friends who shop at GT. We were wondering why the staff push Mizuno so much? This might be a trade secret or something, but to us, it seems they must get a good profit margin on Mizuno. We've come to this conclusion or maybe I should call it a...

Well not really early, but my wife called me today all in a panic that GT didn't have the new Adams 9064LS drivers in yet (No. 1 choice on my X-mas list). I never thought she'd get it for me. She was all upset that she couldn't even get a straight answer from the sales rep as to when they will be...

All these new drivers at $600 with endless adjustments here and there are they really worth it or is it just to make us buy new clubs? Well I say! They don’t work, not for us mortals anyway; I’ll give you 2 different scenarios to prove it. First of all, the problem is never the club but the...

I was just looking for some background information on titleist. I'am doing a report on titleist in school and kind of left it to the last minute so now i'm really desperatly looking for info on them and im finding it kind of hard. When ever i search google for some info it always comes up with a...

Just wondering if anyone is still using plastic tubes in their golf bags? Most of the hackers and golfers that I play with do NOT use tubes....I seem to be in the minority. Are tubes considered "old school"? I know that not all bags have 14-way dividers....6-way dividers appear to be most common...

Whats with the "new" gimmick on some of the balls being sold in the area. Nxt tours recently ( I'm thinking as a result of the positive feedback on two Golf Digest hotlists) have gone up 2 bucks a dozen. I know its not breaking the bank but common same ball I bought a month ago for 36 a dozen is...

Any idea who sells these in the area? I am looking for a LH mellow yellow square 3 or 3+ wood head and headcover. It should look pretty cool beside last year's Cleveland classic driver. Thanks, Ryan

Does anyone know anything about Japanese Bang shafts? I've hit one and it feels nice, but i'd like to learn more about it before i install it in my main driver. Thanks

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

Anyone ever try them? what did you think? Also what is the advantage/disadvantage of using a fairway wood with a 1* closed face? thanks

Does anyone know where I could find a Bang Pink SQUARE 460cc Beta Titanium Driver head in LH 18 degree ? thanks

When Dan first put an Equipment Reviews section in the forum, I thought "Great, when I find the driver that knocks my 10* Adams 363 out of the bag I'll post a review of it". Well, that was about 5 months and 20 drivers ago, but I have finally found the answer and it is surprisingly a 9* Bang Mellow...

Hi guy's I've read great comments on the Bang Mellow Yellow driver and i was wondering if there is a place where they have them as demo? where i could it a couple of balls with?? I've been using the same driver for ever i hit it pretty well 220-240 almost always in the middle of the fairway...

I am considering getting a set of custom woods made 1-3-5-7 and have been told by a custom clubmaker in Dorion (near Mtl) that these are currently the best heads. He showed me an Alpha 830 and a Bang Yellow and also told me that the Harrison Striper was a top of the line shaft for these heads. ...

Has anyone used the Bang-O-Matic fairway woods? Or where I can demo these clubs? thanks, Mike K.

I'm looking at getting an electric golf caddy. I hate carrying and don't love pulling my two wheeler. I've considered a three wheeler, but for merely three times the price, I can get a remote controlled electric golf caddy instead. Costco.ca has the Bat Caddy X3R for a somewhat reasonable...

Any recommendations on good sets for a beginner just getting into the game? I don't want to spend much more than $300. I see a few different Wilson sets, one of which is an 11 piece "X-31" set for $150 at Sport Chek, which seems to be pretty low price-wise (and the clubs don't seem to exist on...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to start playing golf this year. I was wondering what you recommend as a beginner golf club for someone like myself. My strategy is to buy a reasonable set, play for a couple of years and when my game gets to where I could benefit from a better set, I'll upgrade. My...

Hey guys, looking to get a buddy of mine a set of golf clubs (woods and irons included preferred) for Christmas. looking to spend about 300 to 500 before taxes. Just wondering what is a good set to get? He is a total beginner and wants to learn and get into the game? Any help would be great. ...

Hi, After renting for a year and playing with different clubs each time, I would like to buy my first complete set for this year. What set would be the best quality at the cheapest price I could get? Thanks,

I bought a wilson harmonized putter on saturday and would like to get it reshafted with a belly shaft. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get this done and how much it would cost approximately? ( what I mean is the very long putter with two parts, but i dont know if that is the correct...

Considering looking at a "belly" putter to fix some of my putting woes. Had a TM Rosa for years but lost confidence in it last year. Over the Winter I purchased a YES Sophia (Jim Furyk's last victory) which is a blade. Also losing/lost confidence in this. I had two concerns going into the year,...

I picked up a centre shafted belly putter but its too long. Is there any place in town that has an adjustable shaft belly putter that would determine the correct length i need? Then i would know how much to shorten mine.

Is anyone using these irons and how do they feel at impact? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks:)

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...

Would anyone consider these to be game improvement irons? When i compared these clubs to something like a cally X16s, 18, the hogans are like player's irons!!! They do have a thicker top line when compared to the real players irons (R7 TP, X-forged) but the soles are not that much wider, if any...

I keep reading that this is the greatest thing since sliced cheese - easy to hit, very straight etc. - and it's cheap too. Anyways - I'm a non-muscleman 57 year old who started playing a few years ago. I probably drive around 200 - 215 yards. Until recently had a wicked slice - but now seem to...

Just saw a commercial on the G.C. and they are advertising Ben Hogan clubs. Have they started the company again? I thought they where discontinued? They have a site and seems like they are selling them on line. Beauty clubs and always been a bit partial to them. OK a lot partial to them.lol

Went down to GolfTown today to hit the Big Bertha Diablo drivers into the screen. Wanted to see if I liked the draw or neutral version better. I also tried the Ben Hogan Colonial drivers they had on sale for 98 bucks. Unfortunately I didn't like either Diablo, but the Hogan driver I hit very well!...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new wedge and hesitating between a Callaway Forged and Hogan Colonial. I already have a Callaway Forged, so I know how it feels and plays. Have anyone here tried a the Colonial ? What do you think about it ?

Just thought some of you might like to see my new Ben Hogan display i made from solid oak.

Hi all, I'm looking a model name and/or number of a Ben Hoagn putter that was produced a few years ago. It was brass colour and was almost exaclty the same shape as the new Odyssey #9. I tried it at golftown and never saw it again, anywhere!? :hissyfit:

Does anyone use these wedges? Are they as fool-proof from bunkers as some people claim? The updated version is selling for dirt cheap at GolfTown (again) and as a proven Hogan guy, I'm thinking about picking one up. That said, I already have enough museum pieces in my collection so a few...

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

For some reason I now have 2 56* rac's... how far can I get one of them bent? any one have experience with this, ideally I would like to get it bent to 59* or 60* can it be done with this particular wedge??? tks

That's correct, you don't even have to pay for shipping back. I just got my irons bent and the total was $20.

Hi, Just wanted to get opinions on what the best Callaway irons would be. I am looking for a set that is fairly forgiving, past or present. I have read great reviews about older bertha's and hawkeyes. Also heard some good stuff about the X series clubs. Just wanted to get input on what others...

I know this thread happens from time to time on here, figured it might be fun to revisit the topic with local golf still a couple months away. The best club I've ever owned, or the club I liked the best is probably my Orlimar hip Ti 420 driver. It was the first good driver I ever owned, and is...

Any help or suggestions would be welcome. 54 years old and have a slow swing speed.looking for a new driver. Any suggestions on what driver would help with distance. Thanks

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????

What is the best driver you've ever used? I'm currently struggling to hit straight drives with distance. I've regretted selling my original R7 Quad since the day I said goodbye to it. I was consistently straight with it at about 230-250 yards. Now I may hit 250-270 with the newer drivers but it's...
