Just wanted to give a little praise out to Sam at Taylormade golf costumer service. I recently purchased some speed blade irons. They were steel shaft unlike my past 2.0 in graphite. I didn't think it would be much of a big deal. I have some arthritis in my hands and when I played about 4 days in a row. My hands were killing me. So I thought about putting some graphite shafts in which would be after market. I did some experimenting with my old clubs and new ones. The graphite shaft really felt better in my hands and inspecting the clubs a little closer I noticed they were stiff shaft which I am a reg shaft player. I know I looked at them when I bought them real close and I never saw or noticed the stiff shaft. Boy what a screw up on my part what a d??? a??.  So that was the decision maker. I was going to replace the shafts. I had one (kinda) pro tell me The heads were different between steel and graphite and if I switched them they wouldn't feel right??????? I have never heard that before. So I thought I would call T M and ask them. This is where I got a hold of Sam in customer service and asked him. He said no they were the same and I could do that with no problems. I also asked him some questions about shafts and he very politely answered. I then asked him if they could re-shaft them. I figured if the shafts were gonna cost me $20 to $30 anyways and if they didn't charge me much I would just have them do it. What Sam said next just blew me away. I had to asked him twice. He said why don't I just exchange them out for ya. After saying Really! your kidding a few times.. He said it would be no problem. He said he would send me a new set of clubs out and when I got them put my old clubs in the box and put the return number on the box and send them back to him. I even told him I had new grips on the clubs and he said if I could get them off just keep them which I did. With in 7 days I had a new set of clubs that fit me better. Free of charge. NOW THAT'S IS WHAT I CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! THUMBS UP TO SAM & TAYLORMADE. That's why I have played T M clubs for years and will continue to play them for years to come. THANK YOU VERY MUCH SAM


That's good to hear. I don't think people should feel that a company has to do things like this (I'm not saying you did, you obviously didn't), but it's nice when they do.

    • So, @klineka and @Zeph are you guys trying to imply that winning majors is difficult?  Perhaps, that's why Rory becomes the first golfer (not named Tiger Woods) in almost 60 years to win a career Grand Slam? 
    • Watch his post-round interview @TommyRude. It provides good insight on what he's been struggling with. You look for answers in many places, but it may be as simple as nerves. He gets nervous in those situations and winning at Augusta has been a lifelong dream. It became an even more spectatular dream after winning the other majors and only missing The Masters for the career slam. No matter how hard you look and try to analyze everything, it doesn't have to be more complicated than that.  
    • Honestly, I was so confused by their argument. I didn't really respond.   I'm not exactly sure. Start times the first two days were mentioned, and so was course layout, but neither of those made sense to me. 
    • He explained it in the post round interview @ 6:12. It's a good interview where he talks about the mental struggle to win at Augusta, how there's been a lot of pent-up emotions since 2011 and that final round probably being one of the toughest days he's ever had on a golf course. I absolutely recommend spending 26 minutes on it. It provides some good insight on him as a player and person. There's been a lot of talk about him not winning majors and The Masters, which has been difficult for him. He's obviously got the game to win, but nerves seems to be a big reason why he's missed out on many of them. Some people seem to expect the best players to have a mind void of nerves and mental challenges when a lot is on the line, but that's simply not how it works. Some deal with it better than others, regardless of talent and skill. Rory seems to be one that struggle to keep nerves in check in those tense situations. This win is a huge monkey off his back and hopefully it will help him deal with those nerves the next time he's in a position to win a big tournament.   That's the kind of person you don't even bother engaging with. No matter what you say and what evidence there is, they'll have an explanation for it.
    • I dont mind people making statements like that, as long as they can back up their conspiracy theories. So what did they do to make it easier for Rory?
