  1. Yes. Please do yourself a favor and get yourself re-fit. No need to buy a whole new set of clubs right now. If you like the clubs keep them! A proper fitter will be able to tell what needs to be changed. My guess is that they are way too short for you, and the lie is off. You can get extensions put in the shafts to make them the proper length and correcting the lies are easy enough too if need be. You would be surprised how much better you will hit the ball with clubs that are fit for you.
  2. That's all tacki-mac really is. They have decent grips that they try to make look like GP and other grips for much cheaper. They are ok grips. Better than what most people play with right now anyways. If your on a budget go for it, if not spend the extra couple of bucks and get a set of Golf Pride grips.
  3. Jeez how far do you expect to hit a fairway wood off the deck? 220 is pretty good given your handicap. I can't imagine you would gain much more than 5 or so yards, maybe ten by switching.
  4. Stricker uses the 755's. Only reason i know is because i too play those.
  5. damn i have a few sets of wilson forged blades from the 60's that i could still poke today. Not saying that they make clubs like they used to back then, but your clubs should last you a long time if you take care of them!
  6. Alright. L represents a Ladies Flex. Its going to be more "Flexable" than say an R-Flex. Kickpoint works this way: A shaft with a high kickpoint promotes a low penetrating flight. A low kickpoint will promote a high ball flight. Go to your local shop and try some different shafts. It may be your swing, but i would put money on that if you went to something with an r-flex or something with a high kickpoint, you will get the ball lower. hope that helps
  7. You might be doing yourself more harm than good doing that. Why wouldn't you just use the clubs you normally do? Im guessing those blades would be hard for a good player to hit, so trying to practice with those doesn't really make sense. I get you can receive more feedback, but it doesn't help when you can barely hit them to begin with
  8. An R Flex should be an R Flex with steel and Graphite. Having said that, im guessing without knowing what kind of shafts you are using, your Graphite shafts are little bit softer at the tip, which makes sense, which would result in more of a fade. If this ball flight troubles you, you can get your woods tip cut a little bit more to make them stiffer, or get them re-shafted all together. That's only if you don't like the ball flight you currently have. Those options will correct your fade, but could get costly depending on which route you go. Hope that helps a little!
  9. Try an Oversize grip. With mits like those you'd be surprised as to how much better those will feel. I wouldn't recommend playing different sized grips. Stay consistant through out the set. What ever you do, do go back to playing STD sized grips because those won't help you out in anyway!
  10. Please try before you buy. don't buy a shaft off of a recommendation from someone here. People can give quality ratings to a shaft but one shaft for one person may not even be close to being the right shaft for another. I like the idea though. What shaft you are using, why, and some swing characteristics to help people understand what you are trying to achieve with that shaft can get people off in the right direction. I'm using an Aldila NVS. Its a bit older but I do enjoy the feel of Aldila shafts. Most of the theirs are a bit tip softer than others meaning they may not be as stiff out of the box. I simple cut off the tip can help that. The kick point in my shaft is a mid. I'm thinking about getting something with a higher kick point to give me a lower ball flight though as I want a more penetrating flight. Its a 65S and i would never want to go heavier than that, lighter maybe but not much heavier because i like to get a good feel of the club head through the swing!
  11. Grafalloy makes a good shaft, but being a club making Ive never been a fan because they are so brittle! we would have to be so careful putting them in the vice in fear they might split or crack!
  12. aldila is one of the most respected shaft company. They make great products. You have a great shaft and club, enjoy!
  13. Well I guess they aren't technically the bands, but I have the dynamic black gold shafts and similar to project x they have the big band on the shaft. I know that all project x's are usually down, but i shafted my own clubs up and had the choice.
  14. All my shaft bands are logo down and my tour velvet grips are as well. You got to look good before you play good!
  15. I have golf shot. The reviews don't lie. Its a great app and works wonderfully. Very accurate and for $30 or what ever it is, how can you really pass it up? They have a ton of courses and are adding courses all the time. I love it and highly recommend it!
