Can anyone help me out with what to look for in a fake set of Burner 2.0 irons? It has been brought to my attention by someone that this may be an issue. Thanks.

I'm shopping for a new Taylormade Rescue 11 hybrid and I noticed that Golftown wants $219 for the same thing that is available at both Golfsmith and Golf Galaxy for $179US. I travel to the US all the time, but taking a single club home is a bit of a pain. I don't mind paying a bit of a premium...

A month ago I played in Florida with an old set of my clubs, including a Mizuno MX500 driver. The shaft in it was actually just shy off 44" and I can't remember feeling that "in control" of my driver. Although I was a bit short of my usual yardage, I was thrilled with the accuracy. It's too bad I...

Holy crap! Guess Tiger really does move the needle!

I am looking to replace the grips on my irons. I have a med.large hand. I am more of a feel player. I know ZIP about grips. Can anyone suggest where the best deal is and what kind of grips to get. I am looking at the Golf Pride Decade half cord but it is pricey. Thanks, Lucas

I need a new forgiveing 5 wood, something I can hit off the fairway that will fly it high to the green. I want something about 19 degrees. I have been looking at Callaway Big Bertha, Cobra SZ and Adams Ovation. Any suggestions? cheers, Ed

So....I ordered my new clubs almost 1.5 months ago now. I ordered them through work to get my personal use discount, so I expected a slight delay....but not this long. To start...I waited 3 weeks for my clubs, only to find out that the Ping employees had been brushing up on their David...

I've notice on a lot of other golf sites that guys are always talking about "tour issued" equipment. Now I know TM has their TP line but I'm talking about so called tour issued equipment that must be coming form tour vans or reps. The funny thing is that after viewing some of this stuff there is...

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...

Anybody wanting a range finder but does'nt want to spend the bucks? I just picked up this one from e-bay for a dollar! Total with shipping from Hong Kong was under 20.00 bucks Can. It works pretty good,not a top notch model by any means,but so far its pretty accurate:thumbsup

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...

For those who have them...I was just wondering how often you clean them and which method do you use?

What was the first ever putter that Odessy put out? Ive tried a search with no results. I know they date back to around 1990. other than that nothing. And for that matter. What was the first putter or putters that callaway put out?

OK, first off this has got to be the biggest indoor 'event' I've ever been to. Huge doesn't describe it, I can't take a picture that accurately portrays it, although here’s a pic of the indoor testing center at the end of the hall. It has 40 hitting bays and probably 100 yards of flight. ...

Just wanted to ask everyone's opinion on the TM Burner Driver. Tried it at GT and loved it. Scott

Recently purchased (used, through this site), was playing the 8th at Loch March today. Hit a good drive into the far end of one of the left side fairway bunkers... from there, had 140 left up the hill... hit 9 iron... struck it well, but then heard a "TING" closely followed by the sensation that I...

Today I played a golf course (Islesmere “ClubLink”) for the first time. I asked to use the Laser demo for the day. First time with a measuring device ever. This laser works with a little reflector that is installed on the top of the flagstick. You point the laser to the top of the flag and bingo...

Getting a refund.

Hi guys/gals, I have had quite the experience over the last couple days. First I had my Callaway FT purchase on ebay cancelled, due to the seller not having anymore in stock, and THEN..... after seeing a brand new set of G15's on kijiji, for $500 - I thought I would inquire about those. I had...

(For all who don't feel like reading this whole expose, need a recommendation for clubs for a mid 80s player who tends to have too much vertical ball flight!) I'm Hello all, long time lurker - first time poster, graduating from university this month and my parents said that they would buy me a...

Took some digging...Here's what I've found so far.

I have just started playing golf somewhat seriously this year... 30+ rounds if I'm not mistaken. I have been using my dad's old clubs, Wilson Pro Staff 2 I think that were bought new sometime in the eighties. They don't have a cavity back like most of the new clubs. Would purchasing newer 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...

I was just wondering what you guys think of famous name brands when purchasing new clubs. For example, are we paying extra just for the name (Taylormade, Callaway, Cleveland...) or are these clubs really going to make a big difference in my game? I should add that I'm a 18-20 handicap. I shoot on...

I confess I'm a gadget freak and the Golf Channel infomercials get my heart beating faster. (I bought The Hammer in the USGA approved version ... fairly ordinary club :bored:) One of my pet peeves is bad yardage markers ... apparently I hit a 7 iron uphill against the wind 170yds at Riverbend...

So I guess for the 5th time my set isn't done.... I don't nsee the point of having two 19* clubs in the bag... (5w and 3 rescue) so here are some options I came up with 1. get rid of the 5 wood and get a lob wedge 2. Get rid of the 3w and the 5w and get a strong 3 and a 4 w( 13* and 17*)...

Needless to say these lived up to their billing and then some. Specs: 3-PW w/ DGS 300, standard length, lofts and lies (for Tourstage, almost 2* from most OEM though) Distance: Clubs were 1/2 to full club longer all day. Most likely because of the stronger lofts as opposed to my 990s....

So I broke down and picked up a set of Mizuno MP-67's. I hit them again today before I bought them and holy, these things are like butter. I went with the Dynamic Gold S300 shaft. I'm not sure if it's the club, but I liked the ball flight better than the Project-X's I have in my 695CB's. I...

I am a longish hitter (270-300yds off the tee), which means that I have the associated problem with my short clubs (~140yd PW). I am just wondering how other long hitters have setup their bag to get the most out of the 14 club limit. Current setup: Driver 3wood (~260yds --> in the bag no...

What's in the Bag Mike Weir 'We built these irons from scratch.' I didn't sign an equipment contract until I found a company that was willing to work with me to design a set of irons. After I signed with TaylorMade, we built these irons from scratch and made them part of the 300 series. I...

Wondering what features made you choose the range finder vs the GPS. Read previous threads on each but no real chat about pros/cons. Not that I am anti-technology but the Pinseeker seems to be the simplest to use, just point and click. Had a buddy buy a top of the line GPS last year on our MB...

Could anyone educate me :eek: on the loft and approximate distances of the Hybrids out there? I am looking at replacing my 3,4,5 irons with hybrids so essentially I will have from 6 iron up (and I only hit my 6 iron about 150 to 160 yards on a good day) :irked: I am going to pickup TM R7...

Just picked this up on a trade on the forum and played it this morning.Cant say enough about the quality of this club.Crisp sound and I actually hit it the same distance as my driver but straighter.It has made a believer out of me.I know there are a few Wishon fans on this forum and now I am one of...

First Look, any thoughts? http://www.pgatour.com/equipmentreport/2014/06/23/Titleist-915-quickenloans.html Played Titleist Drivers (975,905,909,910,913) forever and the 915 looks radically different to me. We'll have to see I guess. More pics on GolfWRX.

Hi, I am looking into getting irons made by swing sinc and after reading a lot and talking to them it seems to make a lot of sense when they are talking about the "SINGLE FREQUENCY MATCH". What I am looking for here is info from anyone who had it done by them and what it changed in their game. I...

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...

Hi folks, A couple of months ago I bought a TM r540 with a stock R-flex shaft. Tried it at the simulator (GolfTown) and it was nice, with a bit of a slice, which was normal at the time. It worked fine for a couple of weeks, but then I started taking lessons and improving my swing, so now my...

Hi i'm looking to buy a new set of iron and have it fitted. Based on the iron, what manufacture is known for making the best iron?

Now that Michael Campbell won the US open I was wondering if any of you are thinking of getting Big Bertha Fusion FT-3 Draw Driver?

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...

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.

Allright,i know this thread has been done to death but, My feet kill me.I spend 8 hours a day on them. I need golf shoes that are the "bomb"in comfort! Who out there has problem feet?And has had success with a brand of golf shoe? My shoes now are great,but by the 13-15 hole,i want to saw my...

Just went to GolfTown here in North Edmonton. I hit the Mizuno MP-60's, and the Titleist 695CB's. According to their screen(I don't know how accurate it is), I was hitting the CB's longer every shot. Both clubs look similar and feel similar. I found the CB's softer than the MP-60's. The...

Yo, I havnt been online in a bit, so I figured I would start out with a new thread. I am considering buying a new driver this fall when the prices go down. I am just curious to what expieriences people have had with the newer drivers on the market this year. I am considering getting a...

So...picked up my driver with a new Aldila NV65 X on Saturday, played yesterday. Five clean hits and she snapped 1" for the hosel. Sucks.

I'm looking for some info on some Wet/Rain gear , i'm on a budget so unfortunately this time around i can't get the premium stuff. I'm looking for fully breatheable full top and trousers ,if anyone has spotted something out there ,any info would be much appreciated.:thumbsup

I was wondering what the local experts have to say about "feel" irons. I'm looking at possibly replacing my 695's with something "softer". I find that the CB's lack a little bit of that buttery feel.

Anybody play these? Thoughts or comments appreciated.
