you paid ok for them i paid $599 without tax at edwin watts with dynamic gold stiff shafts....... the project x's would have came out more......you paid good man enjoy them and let us know how you like them

This isn't a knock on golf warehouses or megastores but a lot of people have gone away from their local proshops. I know they have a reputation for being high priced but most are willing to work with you on the price and can provide better service after the sale. For example, I shopped around and ultimately purchased my custom fitted AP2's with PX flighted shafts at a local private course (also the most expensive private club in my county) for $800 (US$) including tax. They also printed labels for all my new and existing clubs for free. It was a deal unmatched by anyone. Golfsmith was the most expensive at $1100 for the custom order. Edwin Watts $999 for off the rack set. Local golf store was $999 incl tax. Local pro shops ranged from $920, $900, $940, and $800. Also bought the gap wedge for $100, no tax. It really was a great deal. They wanted my service probably because people tend to shy away from private club proshops.

Good luck in your search.

    • Which was his second hole, yeah. I talked with Mav's coach/instructor last night, ha ha.
    • Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
