I went through the new driver purchase process a few months back and tried each of these drivers (as well as just about everything else made). I have always liked Taylor Made drivers just because of the very solid feel and sound on...

Chipping went from being one of the worst parts of my game to one of the best a few years ago with one little change. Try putting the ball back in your stance with your weight almost completely on your front foot. This helps ensure...

I carry a MP-T and MP-R and really like both wedges a lot. They have a great feel, although they do not spin as much as my old Vokey or Cleveland CG14. I think the MP-R is a better wedge for bunker play, thin lies or rough (the leading...

The Adams Tom Watson wedges are a really good deal. You can find a 52/56/60 set for around $100 or less at a lot of places. They are nice wedges and hard to beat for the price. Watson himself plays at least one of them and since he's...

Wow! 2 months in and you're already in the 80's and 90's? That's very good. There are a lot of golfers that never get to that point in their life (even regular golfers). Stick with it and I hope you continue to progress at that rate....

Straight shots are almost never a bad thing so I would think the FT-i is the better choice. The stock FT-5 is not that much better at working the ball anyway and the FT-i is definitely straighter. If you struggle with getting drivers to...

In theory you'll be giving up some distance going from 3 wood to 15* hybrid (1H), because of the shaft length and the design differences (it probably compares closer to a 4W distancewise). Just how much distance you'll be giving up...

I am playing a 4 wood currently (Nike Dymo) and must say I love it. It's so much easier to hit off turf than 3 wood because the head is smaller and it has a higher trajectory from all shots. There is a little distance lost, but not that...

It depends on what you're looking for. I play 3 Mizuno irons, the 17* (2H) in steel and the 23* and 26* in graphite. If control is your main interest then steel is a good choice. I use my 17* off the tee as alternative driver and like...

Shaft flex is always a big question mark. Swing speed alone doesn't indicate what flex you should be using because it depends on your tempo, backswing to downswing transition as well as what 'feels' right to you. I remember reading an...
