and 3balls and rockbottom warranty the clubs through themselves since taylormade wont? the clubs I saw on ebay said there were some cosmetic issues so taylormade wouldnt warranty them. Also ran into a couple websites that were talking about forged taylormade r9's? I assumed these were not ligit at all and moved on.

Saw some good deals on some r9 irons through this website on ebay. anyone have experience with this company? Are their clubs the real deal or knockoffs? What site out there has the best deals on genuine equipment?

To the average golfer, what does offest on irons or drivers actually accomplish in their swing mechanics and ball striking ability?

Great to know since I have a black dot 2 iron that I could send back and get to match the rest of the set appropriately! Given that once I do this, I will have the full set 2-SW I think I could probably get a good bit more than the regular 3-PW set. BEtter luck selling them individually or as a full set?

What does the orange dot mean compared to the black dots? or any othe color? my father has an old set that he no longer uses and I am trying to get a price on what they could potentially sell for and learn a little more about them. any additional info is much appreciated!

Does shotzoom do skydriod or whatever its called or do one on the andriod platform?

Guess im the only one that will sing praises for the futura but I have one, have had one for years, and absolutely love it. Mine is the one with the three small holes going back and the semi-circular detached weight. It came out right before the phantoms did I believe. It is by far my favorite putter and I have no problem looking at it at address. Do I like the look of a traditional putter better? Yes, the studio series I think is one of the best ive ever seen! Does the added stuff on the back help my putts? Yes!! Am I more consistent with the futura? Double yes, so there it is, Ill take the club that might not look QUITE as good, but helps me to shoot better!

I definitely plan on getting fitted! One of my issues, that i guess ill never know for myself is whether the extra length that comes stock on the tour burners is one of the reasons why I dont like it quite as much. It doesnt make much sense to buy the set you dont hit as well then get them fitted only to find out you still dont hit them as well. Guess the r9's are it! Now just have to sell my other set :)

Can you describe briefly for me what flipping is? This sounds like it could be some of the situation as taping shows im connecting with the ball in the right spot.

no love on this subject at all?!?!

My father has an old set of copper eye 2's orange dot. He refuses to sell them however, He picked up my last set of irons when I was through with them so how I hopefully might have a better chance. I would keep them just cant hit them well. Beautiful clubs though

This makes a lot of sense to me as the mental block mentioned could be that I am not consistently holding the club faces at the same angle. My decel issue is certainly one I dont WANT to happen it just seems to creep in as confidence leaves. Im consistently working on that in hopes of it improving my all around short game. Thanks for the advice!!! I am considering some new wedges (not thinking this will solve the problem of course) but to spread out the difference a little bit. I feel like since the biggest gap even if I am hitting it well would be between the PW and 52, that perhaps a 50 degree would be good, then moving to a 56 then keep the 60 or possibly looking into a 62. This might help to show a more pronounced difference once Im able to work the kinks out. Any other pointers are much appreciated!!

Haha, I know they are not supposed to but for some reason, anytime I hit my wedges between 50 and 60 degrees, there is absolutely NO difference. I hit my pitching wedge usually from 100-110 out depending on the day, then I have nothing from 100 down to say 60 yards where my 52,56, and 60 all come into play. Why does this happen? Any pointers? ive started just half swinging my PW and then that de-celleration starts to creep into the rest of my shots and ruins me for the day.

My course is right near a small lake. People are required to have a special badge to walk their dog at this lake and must live in the community around it, so, when people are turned down, they as of late have decided to walk across the street and take there dogs for walks on the private club course. Not only are they not allowed to be there, they are letting their dogs handle business IN PLAY. Club emplyees have tried to crack down a bit but to no avail so far, people just keep coming. Its terrible. To answer the question for the thread tho, where I tend to hit my ball off the tee on some days allows me to find at least a dozen balls hidden under small leaves and covered by mulch. Its funny that some of the best balls in golf are the ones you find that arent even hidden. Player just didnt feel like going to get it!! I thank those people graciously.

thats good to hear. Ive heard some horror stories around about TM's customer service on some other issues so Im glad they handled you in a speedy fashion. I know when my shaft broke and I sent it back to titleist it certainly took longer than two weeks. However, they gave me the newest version of the v2 and didnt charge so that was nice!

Cant find anywhere in my area that has BOTH sets at the same time to hit side by side, I really like that the r9's dont have the added shaft length as I am only 5'10. I am coming from a set of 695 cb blades that I love I just have lost my consistency and need something a little more forgiving. I enjoy looking down at a more compact head but need a nice forgiving club. is the r9 a good compromise or should I lean more towards the burners? I like the idea of getting a forgiving club that looks like a blade but dont know if that is truly possible. I seemed to hit the R9's better but Ithink that was a product of the extra shaft length, if I had them cut down to proper length, or bent the heads out then what would I really see as the main differences between the two? Thanks in advance, any help is a plus!!!!

sorry wrong area! haha deleting thread and moving to marketplace, thought thats where I was!! OOPS

Looking to sell these and go to a more forgiving club. Love the forged feel of these just dont get out enough to warrant these anymore. Im willing to trade the set for some r9 steel stiff shafts if anyone is looking for that exact trade, otherwise, just for sale. Let me know your email and I can send pics no problem. Set is full 3-PW set in great condition. Have been played but look great! No modifications have been made to them. Asking 350+ship OBO

well i guess ill say the first one was my own forever best happened about a week ago. I was about 60 yards out on a par 4 right off the fairway. Hit a shot a little lower than I wanted but the green sloped up towards me a good bit so the ball hit and rolled about 30 feet into the cup. first time I had ever chipped in from that far. The second would be last weekend i was playing with a buddy at a course I hadnt been to in 4 years or so. There was a dogleg right with a green only a short, 275 away. My buddy plays a pretty mean hook so he decided to play it WAY over the trees on the right hoping that it would come back in ok. well, it did, he caught a good bounce and put it on the green about 10 feet from the hole. one of the most amazing amateur shots ive ever seen considering the circumstances.

Played Tidewater and the surf club this previous week down in Myrtle Beach, SC. I did my usual "blow up" when i get in superhot weather and shot horribly. Did play Tidewater from the tips which is a pretty tough course from there. Lots of fun as well if any of you ever get the chance, its an incredible course.

Broke my left baby toe extreme tubing this past weekend and it hurts like crazy to roll over on it through my swing. I might go out and give it a shot anyways today but who knows, i may be off the course for a while

is that the same one you can get on verizon phones? Big fan on the 07 for ps2 version.

Cleveland cg10 black pearls. I havent owned another set of nice wedges ever but so far I love the feel of them.

I enjoyed reading your post phicar2. I tend to get the shanks once or twice a year and i normally have them gone after a couple really really bad rounds but I sure would love to alleviate them altogether. Here's another idea, when i get the shanks I hit the range and hit a few balls with my feet together, it helps keep your balance first off and it gets my body motion back on track if it has worked itself out of whack.

Ive lifted weights since I was in high school and as your body continues to fill out there will be some changes in your swing pattern. Just keep an eye on them and fix them as they come along. Also keep in mind that when you work out a muscle group particularly in the arms that you may have not worked on in a while, the soarness will cause you game to screw up big time for a day or two. Dont get disappointed, itll be back to good in no time
