The drivers are 1.5 degrees open with, I am sure, real stiff tip shafts. All in all, most folks cannot hit them, strictly for the elite tour types or power hitters.

Save your money unless you are a tour caliber golfer, that driver will be a thing of misery in the wrong persons hands......

I don't care much for the driver... I didn't think I ever could hit that thing... plus I absolutely HATE the sound of the callaway, nike and cleveland hi-bore drivers - of course thas moot. I was more going ga-ga over the irons, wedges and non-insert putter...

From thesandtrap article and the website, it seems to indicate that they are available now to the public. I think they are NOT YET in reality available, just that they are planning to make them so? I have yet to encounter a retailer who has them, anyone?

From what I've read, they are called "X Muscle." I posted a pic a few days ago on another thread. Apparently, they will be made available, this summer. I don't know how true that is. I've read that on two sites, though.

Callaway did a pretty good job of taking a TaylorMade idea..

"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."

Please stop talking out of your butt or you'll go back in the penalty box.

TaylorMade's "TP" line of clubs is no different, really, than several other manufacturers' "Tour" line of clubs. Or, if you're willing to bend a little bit, Scotty Cameron's "Circle T" line (Titleist doesn't play the "Tour" game).

Yes, if you mean rapeing people for $$$$ by stamping some sort of "tour" marking on the club and opening the face to neutral or open instead of closed, then yes you are correct.

Anyways the clubs look nice. I like the look of the irons.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 44, June 17.  Today was some preliminary stretching, exploring what I'll want to set up as a regular routine (both while on vacation without clubs and when I'm back) (aside: this is part of an upcoming goal to stretch daily in a meaningful way, but I don't plan to count it as practice on days that I can meaningfully practice with a club)

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Having a rough week. Went to the Dr. because I was really weak and could hardly swing my driver.  I take Propranolol 20 mg tablets twice a day. Seems like the Propranolol was driving my pulse down (low 50's).  So we cut the dosage in half and I started taking my blood pressure. It was a little high but pulse came up.   Then yesterday I raised it to 15 mg tab by taking it 3 times a day. Blood pressure 127 / 77 Pulse 75.  Heading out tomorrow morning for 18 holes.    I have my driver set at 10.5* but seem to have my swing speed to low and I can't get the lift on the ball I need.  I have not played this week in hopes I will have the strength to raise my swing speed. I may have to raise my loft to 12* . (I will take my driver wrench) tomorrow. (This Parkinson's is a pain in the butt.)  Will give you a report when I get back.    Retired Old Man, Terry

      You still got to lift your arms. You basically just roll your wrist over in the 1st half of the backswing.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 288 6-17 Low point control without ball. hit quite a few swing where i was wanting the club to hit the ground.  Added a ball with towel behind it, just to see where im at. Wasn't horrible but need some more work. Pretty much full speed swings.

      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.
