http://thesandtrap.com/archives/reviews/ Also, the new Titleist 585 comes out soon, so I'm interested in that.

I am so confused... I'm hearing an August release and a release planned for the first of the year from people left and right...

I'm a college kid interning for the summer and I make enough money to be happy but I have to spread it out - A Cameron Detour and 585 release is a deathly combination

DDBowdoin,

The Titleist fall sales meetings start this Wednesday, so we should have a definite date by the end of the week. Rusterson, The Nickent hybrids are outstanding sticks. Good looks and very forgiving clubs. They're availible with a good range of stock shaft options. They're definately worth a lot more than they're charging for them. Great club for high handicappers as well as low handicappers who like the "straight ball." I'd take a strong look at the new 3DX DC ironwood.

I had a Taylormade Rescue Dual with a stiff shaft and I sliced it quite a bit, seemed as if the clubhead was just a little too light for my taste. I could have either messed with the adjustable weight thingy's (which they don't give you a tool for, they just assume you've purchased an R7 as well) or I could return it within that 30 day playability guaruntee I had. I returned it for a Cleveland Halo which was perfect for me. It's long and hit dead straight, every time I swing it. (Of course by making the previous statement I've screwed myself for my next round)

I guess what I'm saying is, don't overlook the Cleveland Halo :)
In My Bag:

Taylormade: Superquad 9.5 Aldila VS Proto 'By You' 70-S
Sonartec: SS-07 14.0 Aldila NV 85-S
Cleveland: Halo, 3i UST Irod 83-SPing: i-10 4-UW AWT-STitleist: Vokey Design Spin Milled 54.10 & 60.08Slighter: Handstamped Tacoma, 350G in Black Satin w/Sound Slot

look into the Sonartech MD club, it's probably one of the least known hyrbids out there (even though Hamilton won the British with it)... it doesn't have a Nike, Cleveland, or Callaway label on it... players know about this clubs but I'm suprised how many new comers have either never heard or barely heard of this great club... I want one, but clubs tend to be gifts for me... I was happy with the 503H at the time

DDBowdoin,

I've heard the detour will be a very limited release at first, and expect it to be very expensive, much like the first run Circa 62's that were availible late in 2005. We'll see at the end of the week.

I tried the taylormade rescue and was having some issues. I switched to Ping and love it. Best bet is to try them all at your local shop and buy the one you feel most comfortable with.

Great spirits will always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

Try the Cleveland Halo or the Cobra Baffler. They are both great clubs.

no doubt. Friend of mine ( 13hcp ) dumped half of his bag and replaced with sonartec md's. Especially with the iRod shaft - it's a nice combination.

I'd like to see them come down a bit in price... but yeah they are an absolutely solid club

tgw.com had the exact version of the club used by Hamilton to win the british, it has something to do with how it was bent.. its a little stronger than the stock club or something, it was around 3 or 350 bucks

Lots of pros are starting to use the Cobra Baffler. Haven't gotten to hit it yet, but there's got to be a reason.

I've got experience with the Nickent 3dx and the TM Dual TP. I've picked the Taylor Made. I agree, though, that the Nickent was a good club and maybe the Tour version would have worked better for me. I turned the standard offering over too much. Adjusting the weights to fade in the TM has straightened out my ball flight with the hybrid.

In my bag:
Driver - 905T, 9.5* UST V2 75 s
Fairway - X Tour 15*, Fuji TP 26.3 x
Hybrid - Rescue Dual TP, 16* Diamana Rayon x
Irons - 4-pw X-18 PS Rifle 6.5Wedges - MpT BNi, 51.08, 56.13, 60.10Putter(s) - Puku BellyBall - Bridgestone Tour B330-S

    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
    • Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.
