Also, if Callaway'd sold its soul to the devil you think they'd have Tiger in their stable. Or at least Phil wouldn't be such a choke artist...

Ummm... Phil just won.

I've been on this forum for over a year, and never been accused of "trolling" If it doesn't bother you or make you think...then don't respond.

I mean, I know based on the rest of your comments in this thread that you're not religious, but I still can't believe that you're seriously still trying to hump this argument into submission...

Dirt Devil vacuums are a pos, never had the urge to eat a "Devil Dog or Devil Creme" ( I prefer Star Crunches)...when it comes to eating junk food.

Callaway is at the top of high end products in golf (They sell the most expensive Drivers)..... Soooo... should BMW roll out the brand new "Lucifer 66X Sedan" ? Or Mercedes market the "Mephistopheles F Class" or soon to be the lone American car company (Hopefully)....Ford unveil the "Beelzebub F150 Pickup truck"

Yeah, what is trolling? I'm sure there's a more descriptive word out there.

I've stayed away from this discussion...or lack thereof. I just wanted to know what driver the guy used to win. And everyone's talking about the devil.

It's a name of a club. I find it a little tacky...like something that a lesser known/succesful company would use, but it's still just a name.

If ThreePutt doesn't like the name, so be it. It could be because he's religious (posts lead me to believe otherwise - and you don't even know if he believes in the devil), or it could be that he finds it tacky like I do, or it could be that he doesn't like Callaway, or whatever. Who cares?

Back to the discussion, whatever driver-headcover combo Phil used, he won. I was surprised that he used 3 wood on the last hole. I was half expecting a "flog" atempt at it! Glad to see that he won though.

Trolling is a very standard internet forum term. It's the act of making an inane, off-topic, or controversial post to get a response. Hijacking a thread qualifies. So, someone who decides to go evangelist on a thread that mentions a driver called the Diablo when the discussion is what club did Phil use at the Northern would be a troll. Oops. Sorry, Three Putt. Those of us who responded would just be feeding the troll, as it were.

(I'm not saying I never do this, just that I try to run everything through a filter so I don't.)

I'm surprised that he showed the restraint to hit 3-wood. The Phil we know and love would've just hammered driver and bogeyed to lose it. (Winning today doesn't absolve him from the title of choke artist.) I watched from about hole six through twelve or so and he looked awful with driver. No control. Even the commentators made light of not knowing whether he was going to end up right or left when he swung it.

That being said, I'm glad to see he didn't screw it up. When he plays well golf is more interesting to watch. Now if he can only figure out that FT-9...

No. That would make no sense with cars. Golf clubs on the other hand, it would make sense. The name Diablo implies that the club is hot, and powerful. Almost the exact same as Nike's Sasquatch, but you could have very well complained as that being offensive because a Sasquatch is a fictional creature, and that Nike's CEO believes in fiction. And, again, if you are not at all religious, why would you care? It seems pretty off to me.

Wow, car companies do not market cars as "hot and powerful"???

I guess you do not have access to a TV.

Perhaps Callaway should hire Flip Wilson to be its spokesman for the Diablo series of products. After all, if you remember, "The devil made him do it!" Of course, I always preferred "Geraldine."

Yes, how absurd.

Imagine, Lamborghini would name a car Lamborghini Diablo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_Diablo Actually, the FT-IQ has more than once been compared to the looks of a Lamborghini.

No idea what the resale value is, can't find it, but didn't look that hard either. Looks like they made 3000 of them between 1991 and 2001 or so. Quite different than a Driver that is priced ay $300 for the general public in 2009. I was just asking a simple question. Lamborghini is not a mass market product, quite frankly they play second fiddle to Ferrrari.

Seem to have stuck a nerve? At what point have I ever said I was religious??? Actually have not been to church (other than weddings or funerals) in over 20 years.

Callaway sent out a survey a year or so ago about what name they should use. I voted Diablo because it was the best sounding name. I guess you dont use Voodoo shafts either do you?

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
