I traded my superquad in for store credit, and at this point I am kind of regretting it. Never really gave the club a proper chance to make it.

Then I got to thinking about my old 425 and how will I struck that club. Was wondering what people think of the trade up or trade down to get the 425 TP version. Both are the same price at this point, $399, so I wouldnt have to pay for the 425 TP. Always the option of going on ebay and saving the credit for this and that.

Was wondering your thoughts upon this. Pros and Cons of it I guess.

Definately the r7 425TP --the TP's have the TP REAX shaft which i think is within the top 3 shafts on the market today-but it comes stock which is well--a huge steal. The 425TP i feel is straighter and the perfect size for a driver

"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."

How did I know that you were going to be the first to post on this thread. I guess I should of just asked you in a private message, eh.

I do agree with you on the shaft and the size of the head. I dont really like to be looking down at a boat when I am teeing off. I just feel the 460cc club head is to big for me.

Ive pretty much already decided to go with the 425 TP.

Now how to purchase. Ebay, or through the pro shop and take up that credit.

Hey Im the one to ask when it comes to TaylorMade drivers. Your right about seeing the boat though. Honestly when i was at the golf show--out of all the 2008 model clubs there i ranked the top 3 drivers 1. TaylorMade Superquad 2. Cobra Speed LD 3. Titleist 907D2

You cant go wrong

ugh... The TP is a very good option. Being a long time user of one of the older quad models, they are definitly nice heads. Another option, (not sure if you want to stay TM or not) might be something in the new nike line, or even the burner TP. I just wish you would of given the SQ more of a chance :) Haha Brian.

I havent turned down the option of taking my Superquad back. I am pretty good friends with the guys at the pro shop, considering I am in their almost every week, so they are holding on to it.

I have been looking at the Tour Burners, dont really like the look of the regular burner drivers. Those 460cc heads though drive me nuts. Might browse ebay from some 425 TPs. Plenty of options out there, just have to find one that fits me.

Eh, wasnt as hard as a decesion as I thought it would be. 425 TP will be at my doorstep in 4 weeks. Just used my credit from the pro-shop, didnt bother with ebay.

Now I am going back to my r7 quad for awhile.

Cant wait till it gets here. I want it now.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
