Ok wow. I wish I knew about this BEFORE I bought my 67s. Does anyone else think they are amazing looking clubs? Is anyone on the Sand trap staff planning a full review?

Would love to hear more about this line... any info much appreciated. Thanks!

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.

      Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 16 (17 May 24) - Plans to play a local course with a good friend fell through, got with my son to play Minnesott.  Turned out to be a great day of golf - as we were playing behind the Friday Men's group, pace was steady but not rushed or dreadfully slow.  Had a solid day of ball striking - managing 11 of 14 fairways hit, 8 GIR and 5 nGIR, 27 putts (including a hole out chip in from just off the green to save par with the 56deg wedge).  Shot a new personal best of 76 (39 front / 37 back) from the gold tees (just over 5,500 yds).   Was a good day and my son had a decent day for him as well with an 88.
