Whatchyou talking about Willis? (Arnold voice)

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

The designation Cici must represent an acronym – my guess - Computer intelligence created internally. It has to be the work of some post-grad shut-in at M.I.T. conducting some kind of semiotic AI experiment. I mean seriously, I have a cousin with both expressive and receptive aphasia and he makes more intelligible sense.

depends on what you want cici. if you care about how the clubs feel, then it doesn't matter what clubs you have. as long as they work for you.

Yes we should buy original clubs and not counterfeits.  No questions about it.  If somebody wants to go with a lesser known company that has a similar or "clone" club I don't have a problem with that (i.e. GigaGolf) but to buy something that says "Titleist" when it isn't is wrong.

I don't know why I'm making a serious response in this thread, but here goes.  I don't care for the GigaGolf stuff at all.  They're blatantly selling clubs that look extremely similar to the OEM models (a quick glance at the irons page reveals PING, TM, and Callaway).  It might be one step above selling a fake, but it's a very small step.

If we can't laugh at ourselves we'll probably go around mad all day.

Cici, That's a joke son, a joke.  I am not only from the south, that would be south in these here United States, but also grew up way out in the country.  So yeah, I may talk a little funny too.

Try this: I'm fixin to go to work, so y'all have a goodun.

While it's a small step, it's a big enough step for me that I don't take issue with it.  They are clones, and are definitely taking ideas and designs from other, larger companies, but it seems like they are doing so legally at least.  Is the quality as good, I doubt it... but at least with them you know exactly what you are getting unlike counterfeits where you may think you are actually getting the real thing.

All that being said, you won't ever find a set of GigaGolf clubs (or any other clones) in my bag.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
