Forum: Golf Clubs

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. ...

Not sure if this actually falls under equipment but i would like to buy a good range finder and i'm wondering if anyone has any experience or recommendations regarding them.Also, what are the rules for use of them in a round of golf? can you actually use them during a round? what about in...

Can anyone recommend a place for dynamic club fitting? I'm not looking for a custom set of clubs to be built for me, rather I'd like to get lie / loft / length of my existing set adjusted to suit my swing. I'm looking for someone local to Ottawa preferably with computer assisted swing...

Just a heads up for those of you looking for new irons. If you are someone who doesn't ever hit a 3 iron or a 4 iron, then there is a set of clubs for you. Adams is coming out with a mixed set. It iwll comprise of 2 utility woods and 5iron to PW. I currently use the Adams 18 degree and 21...

Any training aids out there that anybody has tried that you would recommend. Thanks

Hello I just recently bought a Callaway Hawkeye with a Harrison 2.5 Pro Titanium shaft. This things hits a ton, and consistenly straight. Has anybody else have this kind of combo ??? PM me ! ROB

Hey Just wondering if anyone knows of a place I can get a head cover for my Rossie Mallet style putter? Thanks guy's!

I hope no one bought one of those TM 500 series drivers. http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/story?id=1414898 :confused

Can anyone offer some advice on cleaning grips. What type of cleaner should be used? How often grips should be cleaned? Thanks

I have heard that you should Re-Grip your clubs every 30 to 40 rounds..... Any thoughts?

I just tried a S-flex demo of this model and was very impressed. I always thought (and have been told by club fitting pros)that I should be hitting regular shafts but here was no R-flex available. I was also told buy the sales guy that they are 'true' R and S-flex shafts. I have a smooth swing...

I recently cracked the face on my Callaway Steelhead 3 wood :crying :crying :crying Before I go to the store where I bought it (3 years ago -- no warranty there...) has anyone had any experiences with returning equipment to the manufacturers directly, in particular Callaway? Basically the...

Can anyone tell me about their experiences with the Cleveland QuadPro driver? I have been reading fairly good reviews and the value (read price) is quite good. I currently use a TM Ti Bubble 9.5 degree with a stiff flex and drive the ball max 270 yards - the problem I have is with accuracy. I...

what do you guys think of Callaway Hawkeye VFT??? Just looking for people input and any experiences or you can recommend something similiar thx:) :D :eek:

I am very interested in finding a good store to purchase mid to high end new or used golf clubs. Can anyone tell me possible places to look in the Ottawa area. I live on the west side of Montreal and have no problem traveling to the Ottawa area.:wave

It seems that we've got a lot of knowlegable shaft people contributing - this is great. I'll looking for comments from you equipment gurus. I'm seriously thinking about changing my Hawkeye VFT stock Callaway 60 Firm shaft for a True Temper BiMatrx. My goal is more control and lower ball...

Well a buddy of mine is sending me a Taylor Made XR-03 driver, I currently have a PING TiSi, and from all reports, this club is suppose to be awesome. Will let everyone know the results. lol http://www.taylormadegolf.com/euro/products/metalwoods/XR03/p_m_XR03_XR03.asp

Anyone tried any of the following yardage helpers on the course? 1) Cheap scope style (<$30) - estimates yardage based on height of pin in viewfinder. 2) Handheld Laser-based rangefinders (eg Bushnell Pro Tour approx. $500) - measures laser beam bouncing off target (eg. flag) 3)...

Does anyone know of a shop who will demo a Mizuno Fli-Hi, 18*? Thanks

Have anybody tried the True Temper Shaft Lab? (http://www.truetemper.com/ShaftLab/index2.html) I believe the ProGolf at Hampton Park has one and will do a shaft fitting for about $30. Any advice on whether it is worth it?

Does anyone know anything about either of these courses? They will be used in the Ottawa's Best Amateur tournament this July. Any information would be of help. Thanks.

Great set of links you have on the links page, Dan. I was wondering.... I don't seem to be able to find a golf retailer online in Canada. Shipping from the States is expensive and confusing, and the customs and duties you pay at the border are never outlined to you. Is there (or have you ever seen)...

Would like a discussion on the merits of these clubs as a replacement for long irons in the bag. ie. instead of 2-4 iron? I am having trouble having my long irons not fade, and have a difficult time getting consistent distance. What lofts should replace what clubs Also is there something to...

Callaway C-4 What were they thinking? Yonex has already done the graphite thing. And unless I rub my eyes and it changes... the clubhead looks strikingly like Ping's TiSI design. Maybe Callaway has hit the wall and there'll be a bit of a wait for more brilliant new ideas. spidey

:confused: just wondering if anyone has any more info...i talked to the pro at carleton golf and yatch club..its supposed to be a ping fitment center..and wanted to get fitted for the new ping steel driver..anyway i wa told that there would ba a $60 buck an hour for this fitting process, which...

And... like a rocket... Nike swooshes into the club market.

Has anyone been able to try out the new 200 series of irons. My local store in Montreal will have some by the end of October and I am in the market for a new set of irons. I am considering the Ping i3 oversize as well as the Cobra CXI both with regular graphite shafts. I have tried the TM...

Hi, buying new clubs in the next few days and looking at the Taylor Made Irons ( Burner and 360's). I tried them both and they didn't seem to make much of a diffrence( loved them both). My question is i'm hoping someone on this board is a Taylor Made freek and can tell me the diffrence between...

Apparently there's a huge buzz going around that if you place your Pro V1 in a certain orientation, you can get different flight characteristics. The USGA says the ball conforms. Titleist says the ball conforms. Jack Nicklaus says the difference is obvious, and the ball should never have been...

Seeing as this is a website that promotes golf courses... Does anybody know which golf courses allow members to own their own golf carts? I played a couple of courses out of town this past weekend, and both places, I played with members who owned their own carts. Seems like a good deal if...

What's in your bag? Odyssey and Ping are big on tour, and big around town. What's your putter? Did you have it custom fit? Did it make a difference?

I need to get 2 new grips for my 2 woods. Does anyone know any places that is fairly resonable ( broke student ) to get new grips, and what is the average price at these places? Thanks Dustin

Bought myself a set of Ping ISI-S's. I'm rather amazed. Mi****s are much straighter and longer than I expected. Very easy to hit. Tons of spin on the ball. I also love the way they grind the heel on the sand and lob wedges so you can open them up and still get them under the ball. I highly...

Question concerning any notable difference between med-firm graphite and true irons. I've owned both and, not being overly big (5'7" 155), I find that I cannot control graphite as well with the long irons, however I hit approx. 10-15% further. (210 graphite w/3 I, 185 iron 3 I). Conversely, I find...
