I headed down to my local Roger Dunn Superstore the other day to try out some game improvement clubs since I'm thinking of upgrading. I was thinking of either the Nickent 3DX set I've demo'd there before and also the new Wilson Staff Di7 that I've been reading good reviews on.

When I went to the new iron section and even the used section, they did not carry any Wilson clubs at all. How come a large chain such as Roger Dunn not carry Wilson Staff. It's not like WS is a small company and at least on par with Macgregor, Bridgestone, and Srixzon that they do carry the lines of. Now I may have to truck to a farther Golfsmith location to try out WS items.

I play the di7's and love them. The loft's are a little stronger so you will probably pick up a few yards. Good price too.

RD not carrying this surprises me. Which RD did you go to, and did you ask about it?

By the way, RD and GolfSmith aren't the only chains in O.C.. There's a Nevada Bob's off Alicia Parkway that would be another good place to check.

The Roger Dunn I went to was the Superstore in Santa Ana. I know the Golfsmith nearby may carry it since they list it on their online website.

I would go to Nevada Bobs, but their hitting area is small and I would like to have a selection of used/trade in clubs like the ones offered at RD & GS since I'm looking at the Nickent 3DX, Wilson Di7, TM R7, and Mizuno MP-25s that have come down a good deal when bought used in the shops.

There's a local Roger Dunn in Mission Viejo that I may have to check out if they carry some used Wilsons there.

*That* store didn't have it? Whoa... scary to me.

This is the one off Avery Parkway? That store is bigger than it appears offhand. Plus it's near Saddleback, my favorite driving range. There is a good supply of clubs in the back, although it has only two hitting bays.

By the way, did you ask an RD manager to call around for you? They can usually find stuff. When they had their used Cobra driver sale back in November (Pomona area), the sale bin didn't have what I wanted. The manager called around until he found the exact specs I wanted -- in Anaheim. He offered for me to either pick it up there or he'd have it shipped to an RD of my choice (I chose West LA, near where I live). The charge? Exactly what it would've been had I found it in the bin there. That story aside, the RD managers can pull all sorts of things for you if one of the RD/WGS/GM carries what you want. I'm not sure how the HI locations fit in now, but at least for CA locations they can do plenty.

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
