  1. 3wood, 7iron, PW or 60 thats a tough one.
  2. Yeah ill pay the extra 100 and keep my RRA.
  3. I love the Wii, it has a great mixture of kids and grow up games. Its really fun if you buy the right games, Tigerwoods owns on the wii, if you like to drink with your buddies and play games get the wii. I have a 7 year old and a wife so the wii is great. If i want to seriously play games i go on my computer.
  4. I hit one at a demo day and loved it. I've got the Mp600, and love it as well. but the mx700 is alot better for drilling the ball strait as a pin. MP600 is more of a control club.
  5. Yeah I was bored and hit the MX300 I was really impressed, great looks and performance was top notch I would have to get them bent 1-2 degrees stronger though,
  6. No one hates top flite as much as I do. NO ONE! I dont even pick them up if I find them they have bad juju. But I said screw it their $20, and seriously for $20 they rock. Around the greens they are like a 1X with the roll and spin (not as much spin but close) They feel nice and soft off the irons. I do not like them off the driver I dont know just seems like their harder to control. Probably just in my head. I get my ProV's for free, so thats what I play. I've played every ball on the market, really nothing (IMO) compares, i played with some Nike One Tours and they were nice as well but my wedge ate them to crap. TM Red/blacks are just ok, I dont like them around the greens. Calloway Tour-i are my 2nd choice they grab greens really nice. but for the price Ill stick with my ProV's
  7. I've been fitted by 3 diffrent places, all said the same thing. the clubs are perfect for you. off the rack mizuno's
  8. I never hit off mats, No i really dont do it at the range.
  9. The driver has always been the bain of my game, Sure I can crush balls, etc etc, but I've always struggled with accuracy, give me an iron and a target 9/10 Ill hit it. I have my old Nike SQ2 driver, Both are very basically same flex. I stopped using the nike because I was slicing it horribly. Went to the mizuno got rid of my slice completely, but about 2-3 weeks ago it stopped working for me. Prior to that I was avg 270 yards, dead nuts straight to a slight fade. I feel my 3 wood comes around faster in my swing than my driver does, but it maybe because of the sound my 3 wood makes opposed to my driver. I need to video tape my swing badly, but I dont have digital hook ups to my camcorder, and my phone doesnt take that great of video to actually analyze something from it. The other problem is when I'm at the range it seems to disapeer, and I'm back to smacking balls down the center of my target line. So, I'm not sure it would even do any good. I would say my 3 wood is roughly 2-3 times smaller than my driver (and other peoples 3 woods) But the shaft is only about an inch shorter, I choke up on it. I've tried choking up on my driver as well but has no impact where my ball goes.
  10. This is just a recent thing, when i got the driver a couple months ago I could do no wrong. Now its just "why is this in my bag" I think its something in my head, or something stupid Im doing and not noticing. My handicap reflects my rediculous short game skills not that of my driving. I'm an godly scrambler :) It's just frustrating me, I dont know what I'm doing. the rest of my game is fine, its just my stupid driver.
  11. I've been racking my brain what I'm doing wrong. So last 3 times I've went golfing I start using the driver and say screw it and go back to my 3 wood. Tracked by GPS not yardage makers. Driver- 230yards 222 236 288 (only good drive) Most of these except the last one were SKY high! No slice/hook. 3wood- 242 257 248 All nice and low penetrating ball flight. I have mess around with tee heights, thats not it. Too low I top it, to high I go under it, in the middle I still pop it up. So why would I be hitting my 3 wood better than my driver. I swing the same, I set up the same. I dont know but it really frustrating me, and wrecking my game!
  12. lol im 27, I'm in good shape. If I walk 18 holes I'm damn near dead at 18th tee. Mostly because the courses I play are extremely hilly, and I refuse to take a cart.
  13. Oddly enough it was my drive. Playing at an event, it was an a raised tee box, it happend to be the longest drive hole. 368yds, I just crushed it (and I was trying to) and it was probably 350yds of carry the ball didnt roll much. I got a little award :( it sits in my office.
  14. I listen to my iPod when at the range once in a while, it helps me with tempo. I've got a 30gb Video, but I usually use my blackberry so I dont have to carry 2 things with me.
  15. Course professionals are almost worse. But yes, I witness this almost every time I take my self to the range. Usually some old guy with a Titleist hat, a worn out old polo and some pleated khakis that should have been thrown out years ago, Oh and the all white new balances, some times with Velcro. Now thats a stereotype! Couple weeks ago, I encountered one of these "people" I was working on hitting draws with my driver. This is something I struggle with and have been working on a lot this year. So I'm duffing drives nothing terrible, like 200 yards out and yanking the ball left. So "old dude" gently walks over to me at a safe distance and watches me swing. This annoyed me enough, more or less because I knew what was coming. "Your stance is to closed, thats why your hitting left" I being the nice guy I am "Thanks but I'm working on hit my draw" Old dude comes back with, "Oh, well then, you mind if I see a regular swing?". I agree and blast one about 290ish hitting the back fence, perfectly strait with the slightest fade. I'm thinking this will shut him up, nope. "It might help you if you transfer more weight to your front foot" Really? are you serious? I'd love to see this old guy hit half my distance... GRRR. I went over to the putting greens to get away.
