UP&DOWN

snowman - I received the exact same 3 recommendations. Which were in that order as well if that means anything. I am not sure of any of my numbers though except for SS - and that was 2 swings at 86 and 1 at 87. I thought I would be between a S and X but I wasn't. If I am not mistaking I don't believe the first recommendation (DG S300) is the best, the device just gives 3 options that would work well. I would say you probably need to hit all 3 on the range or course to see what they do. I also believe the DG S300 will launch the lowest, PX5.5 low to mid, and KBS w/ mid launch. Seeing how you received the same suggestions I am definitely going to follow this post as I am shopping irons as well.

Haven't played in a month. I was expecting a 100 instead I played fairly good. 86. 45 on the front and 41 on the back. Played the tips as well, and I only hit one good drive all day, so I am happy.

Played the second most difficult course I have ever played. Played the tips and shot a dissappointing 86. I had 41 on the front and finished with 3 bogeys and a triple. It could have been in the 70's. still enjoyed it.

Thanks everyone for some clarification.

I understand water hazard red stakes. I thought I understood red stakes in general but maybe not. My father tells me that you must find your ball in the woods if it is red stakes in order to take the lateral drop. I thought it was the same as water red stakes and you simply take the drop at where it entered - regardless if you find it (like water). Which is right? Also if you find your ball in red or yellow - can you play it or must you take the penalty?

71 rating & 131 slope & 6700 yards - I shot me an 86. I am pleased seeing how the winds were crazy. Toughest winds I have ever played. I had one shot from 135 and I used my 170 club and finished pin high. I had another shot on a 245 yard par 3 - hit driver thats right driver on a par 3 ended up 10 yards sort. Crazy - but fun.

If its just you or maybe you and one other - I would go with a 3 series bmw or c class mercedez. Resonable gas mileage, luxury, and handling. If its you and more than one - pick up a tahoe or suburban. Newer ones are very nice, and if its new enough GM has that deal on there suv's where the cylinders shut down on highway for better mileage.

Shot a 92 - A little tougher course than I have been playing. Could have been respectable though - Hole 1 & 18 I had a 9 - killed my score.

My opinion stick with what feels good. Shafts are nuts. I just went from a club that was 10.5 degree to one that is 9 degrees and I am hitting it a lot higher now because of the shaft specs. All in the shafts. The one guy mentioned weight, thats something to consider as well. Depending on the graff blue's weight it was probably heavier which typically gives you more control. good luck

44 on front and 44 on the back. Consistently bad. Shot a 79 on this course a few weeks ago. Something is up with me and my driver - I don't think my ball ever got more than 10' off the ground.

I have been wondering about this for some time. I have been playing some GI irons for a few years now and at first there were a few shots here and there that probably benefited from the technology but this year and last fall I have noticed no benefit to my game. I am now getting to the driving range once a week and at least one round in and my handicap seems to be dropping evey other week. I even shot into the 70's twice in the past month. It seems nearly impossible for me to hit a controlled draw or fade at the range with my current set. The blades and players irons have always looked better to my eye at setup. I think this winter I may shop for a players iron.

What a BUMMER.

79 Friday night. Tied my best round. 7 on an easy par 5 and 3 putted a couple holes. -10 on Saturday in a golf scramble. 2nd place. 97 on Sunday night. New driver - alot of OB and penalty strokes. putted and chipped well.

I have been looking at shafts and am a little confused, why I can buy a 55gram X-stiff shaft or kind of the opposite a regular flex 75 gram shaft. The reason I'm asking is I just broke a stiff flex that was 55 grams - and now I need to replace it. What's the point of one over the other or better yet who (kind of player) would use one over the other? Weight for control or flex? Torque rating? Any suggestions are appreciated.

12 - 13 degrees. 2500 rpm
