I have a very serious issue to talk about. My last driver was a 905R. I bought it because I felt Titleist made really good products..So when i got rid of it for the r7 425 i never really thought about it...so then a year later i walk into a golf store and see a sticker on the shaft saying that the head was made in China...to be quite honest i was a little disappointed because I thought titleist was the last of the American golf companies. Well i now know is what is true....i said that the spin milled wedges were poor quality compared to my 200 series...i know know why--my 200 series was made in America and the spin milled was made in china. Im just a little bit disappointed in wally Uihlein's decision to outsource the manufacturing because i now can see a difference in the quality of Titleist clubs.

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

I believe that PING is still an American golf company. With the exception of the clubs that they can't produce here due to environmental regulations I believe that all their products are made in the United States.

Making clubs in the U.S. is difficult. Not even the labor laws, but the laws re: certain chemicals, etc.

They're designed, tested, etc. here in the U.S.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Current state of the program.  I can only do 25-50% swing speed, probably under 50% since I was hitting the ball out to the 150 yard marker (yay!),  to get the arms down and somewhat turn the body through impact. I mean somewhat. Arms down + body turn don't like to mesh at all. Anything faster and the body does stupid uncoordinated stuff. Mostly, I am stuck in the old pattern of staling the turn and flipping at the ball.  So, until I see progress. I am not posting anything here.

      Thanks for the video! Do you think a ball between the arms type of training aid would get me in a better position? I also have a Tour Striker Swing Trainer (PlaneMate-like contraption) if that could be helpful.

      There are some little things here and there — the shoulder turn is a bit flat, and the arms move around you a bit too much too. Take a look at this video:

      Ugly elbow in question

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By gestate0560 · Posted

      I've developed a serious case of the shanks and difficult to control push fades/slices with my irons lately. I used to draw my irons pretty consistently. I currently most draw driver. Also, I don't like how my elbow sometimes pops out from down the line, especially with driver and/or if I'm trying to hit it harder. I can control the elbow a lot better with irons, but quite difficult to have good contact and speed while controling it on driver.
