i have one of those Spin Doctor wedges that i bought just to fool around with. when you put the Spin Insert in it, you can back a ball up 40 feet. the last time i took it to the course i hit a shot that bounced once on the green then it went down into the rough, and spinned back up onto the green! the guy who was standing near it said he could HEAR the ball spinning! it backed up UPHILL about 15-20 feet thru the rough back onto the green. it was hilarious!

I'm wondering if that is one of the wedges from commercials a while back... I used to, every now and then, see a commercial for a wedge and they had this crazy test to show how much backspin you could put on a ball. Basically, they had a guy hit a full shot off a mat in a concrete parking lot, the ball would come down and take a normal cartpath-like bounce high & forward, but then on the second bounce it would literally bounce back towards the guy who hit it! I always thought that was pretty awesome to watch, haha

im not sure if they're illegal though

I'm almost positive they are only illegal if they are the "two-way" kind. If it's consistent with the dexterity of the rest of the bag then it's cool...

the wedge drooves can only be a certain size if you ever watch the comercial for the chippers and spin doctor wedges they get so much spin because they have ridiculus grooves. there also illegal

Better than the hammer (h*ll, a putter is better) is this one:

Maltby Mr. Big 505.
505cc of fun driving.
Have one I got from GG for about $5, put a steel ('cause it's real) shaft in it.

actually works very well, even though the ball flight (13 deg loft) is very high.
pretty cool to see it go so very high. heck of an "over the trees driver"!Overall it goes as long as I can hit my regular drivers.

      Mizuno Jpx Forged vs Pro 245?

      By xrayvizhen ·

      While on vacation in Punta Cana a few weeks ago I played with rental clubs, Mizuno Pro 245's with KBS Tour Lite steel shafts. Surprisingly, I was blown away, not only by the distance, trajectory and dispersion I was getting but also about how soft and buttery they felt. It got me thinking.... IT'S TIME FOR NEW IRONS! Just yesterday, at my local Golf Galaxy, I tested them again side by side with the JPX Forged (recommended by the Mizuno rep who happened to be there) which also felt pretty good. Not as buttery soft as the 245's but they did produce slightly better numbers on off-center hits. Also, I haven't played with forged clubs with steel shafts in 10 years thinking I was getting too old and that I needed the lighter weight but these clubs with that shaft felt really, really good. So that's my long and drawn-out intro to my question: Does anyone here at TST play with either of these clubs and if so, what's your opinion?

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      By today’s standards that’s certainly true, but they weren’t having any trouble hitting golf balls in 2005 so I’ve equipped myself with what was among the very best equipment around that time for a very reasonable investment. If I get to the point where I feel like I’ve outgrown that stuff, I’ll reward myself with something more current. But for now I don’t need adjustable loft and lie and modern head shape, just a good quality, proven club with a clean club face. For now I’m going to concentrate on the basics. I know you can get more yardage with newer woods, but I don’t care about distance nearly as much as consistency, and you can’t buy that for any price.

      Trying to feel bit more external rotation of the trail elbow at A4. I think better than what have ever been able to position it.  Forward lunge at impact still a work in progress.
