I want to win a Callaway Big Bertha Driver 1. Thomas Bjorn / -15 2. Louis Oosthuizen / -15 3. Carl Petterson / -15

Speaking of the Stage 2 fairway woods. I have a new Stage 2, 3 wood/15 with a stiff flex shaft in it. For the life of me, I cannot get it air born off the deck and just as poorly off the tee. Low hooks pretty consistently. It runs for a week, but is virtually useless going after greens. I have heard that the stock shafts are playing stiffer than the designated flex. Any truth to this? I used to murder my Sonartec SS and Adams before it, in stiff flex. I want a higher ball flight as I am certain my ball flight with it, is less than optimal. Don

tks Brian! Mizuno's are sweet. I it my neighbors MP-H4 and they were crazy nice. But yea, that's a grand. :(

Good to hear! I am anxious to get mine. Waiting on shipping lol

Thanks everyone for all the assistance! WOW is all I can say. I hit the Wilson c100, Callaway Apex, and the Cobra Bio Cell irons today. For me, they were all FAR better than my X-12 Pro's. Shot dispersion and distance were insanely better. Feel was very similar. My Mini review for anyone that cares :) X-12: Hit 6 iron 5 times on the monitor - Shot dispersion decent, between 80-86 swing speed. Farthest ball 189 Apex, Solid feel and good distance. I did like them a lot but for the price and the fact that they were a close 2nd, not worth it for me. Farthest 6 iron 214 yards. Wilson C100. Solid feel and good distance. Club more end heavy which I liked. For me, I wasn't as consistent with it as the other 2. I am not sure why. I guess it just didn't fit my swing as well. Did manage to hit one 209 yards though. Cobra Bio. Great, no incredible, distance and shot dispersion. Feel was firm but felt like I ripped right through the ball. I hit 20 balls. I crushed 6-7 of them 215 yards! I even hit a few fat just to see and they were 180+ yards. I couldn't believe the difference between them and my x-12's. Swing speed was in the 90's consistently. Cobra won for me hands down. All 3 were great to hit and night day over my x12 pro's. I almost bought the Wilson's, glad I hit the Cobra's. Although the Wilson's, wouldn't have been a bad club. Thank you to you guys here, for having me take a look at the Cobra's! Don

Does anyone know the spec's on the True Temper CL100 steel shafts? I couldn't find them anywhere. Is this shaft something Wilson is getting from TT and calling it their own name? I can't find ANY info on them.

I have played there using the phone system. I believe its only 48 hours in advance for us out of state golfers. When I played there the course was in great shape. Keep in mind you will be walking and the course routing does not come back to the clubhouse. 15 is a bear! Good luck.

Thank you everyone for the responses. I am going to go to Golfdom in Va and try the Wilson c100 and maybe even the D100's there. They have a fitting cart for Wilson which I was happy to hear. I will kick the tires on the Bio's as well. The Apex are a bit out of my price range so I don't even wanna be tempted LOL I just wonder if I am ready for a mid-handicap iron. I do think my ball striking is good enough to play them. Don

Lihu: Yea I have been considering those as well. I need to get some info from a launch monitor to truly answer my questions I think. The price on those and the Wilson's have come down.

All thanks for the replies. Callaway Apex is a grand. A wee bit out of my price range. I might consider the RazR which I hear are nice as well.

Hello all; Opinions wanted I am playing Callaway x12 pro - uniflex. Consistent striker of the ball with irons, issue is more about tempo and not getting "through" the ball on occasion. (Pushes) 9 iron 150-155yds Handicap: 14-15 Mostly inconsistent off the tee and putting (of course) I play about 3 times a month Want to get new irons and take advantage of technology a little bit. At least get something from this century. :) Really like Wilson's new line. C100 or D100. Questions are: 1) Is stiff steel right for me? My "break" is pretty harsh. I believe my ball flight is medium and low with a 4. 2) Should I graduate to something like the C100 or should I still use full game improvement irons like the D100? I would like to learn to work the ball a little and I am aware enough to know when I hit it off the toe/heel. In the end I just want lower scores. Thanks! Don
