I headed over to Golfsmith this morning to check out some new clubs. At first i had my mind set on the R7 460 and hit it but wasn't really that impressed. Then I hit the Mizuno Mx-500 and was hooked. I dont know why, Ive never owned a Mizuno club before, and I'm kind of partial to TM woods but the Mizuno just felt really solid (and 100$ cheaper). I also picked up some new Titleist wedges. Cant wait to go out to the course and try em' out. One question... I'm new to the Oil Can finish, should I be aware of any maintenance things?

Equipment
Driver: Titleist 983k 8.5 speeder stiff

Irons: Cleveland TA-7, 3-PW
Wedges:Titleist Vokey Oil Can SM 54,60*Putter: Odyssey 3300 DFX bladeBall:Titleist ProV1

The oil can finish is made to wear off the clubs. After that they will start to rust a little bit. If you hit enough balls the face should stay fairly clean. If you dont care for the rust look, a little steel wool should clean it up.

good call on the oil can wedges, I play three of them now... they have a nice feel and are very responsive but the rust does not produce any more spin... I just think they look great with the rust, like he said hit enough balls they keep clean...

if you want more rust (like I did) take a bucket full of warm water and place a decent amount of salt in the water, take the wedge and wrap a cloth around the head and leave the wedge over night... it will get some nice rust...

if to much rust is produced either steel wool it up or leave it soaked in Coke (Coca Cola , not yayo) ... the coke will eat away at all the rust (its kind of scary... we actually drink something that can eat at metal over time)

    • Yes, a ball going faster will go farther… but it's nearly impossible for "all other parameters" to remain the same. "A ball going faster with the same of everything else will go farther" is pretty rudimentary stuff. The entire swing. The handle moves the whole time. The golf swing is a matter of both translational and rotational forces. And yet it's also kicked out a little, as it's not directly behind the motion of the hand path at that instant.
    • bought a used epic driver 3 years ago treated me well i am 72 bought with senior shaft a friend of bought a brand new  ping 440 claims he hits straighter and added 10 to 15 yards on his drive i know drivers are the most frequent club bought is a new driver that much better
    • It's true that it is not always clear where to draw the line of "significant". But I would argue that saving half a stroke or more is definitely more than significant. According to the common meaning of "significant", which is all we have because the word is not defined elsewhere in the rules.  This is irrespective of the two stroke penalty for playing from a wrong place. That penalty is only for when there was no significant advantage.  And it is possible to tell to some certainty whether a stroke or half a stroke was saved by such tools as strokes-gained, experience of officials, etc. Applying the conditions listed in the definition of serious breach.  In the example in which a player gave themselves free relief from a boundary object, if relief was necessary, then that wrong place gave a significant advantage.  Though apparently there is some sort of verbal tradition that tournament officials have a higher standard of what they consider "significant". Much higher than one stroke. And they like to take into account that the player already received a two-stroke penalty, though that is not in the rules for determining what is a "significant advantage".  
    • Until I can find some positive things to post about my swing I think it’s about time to… 
    • How would you change the rule to make it more "fair", and still be consistently interpreted and enforced?  It may not be perfect, but as a referee I can watch a player and look at the ground surface and make a ruling.  How can it be changed to address different players and their individual height, weight, and shoe size?
