Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2nd generation. They are a lot cheaper than all of the other golf pride grips and quite frankly I think they are the best. Very tacky and last forever. They also look pretty nice too.

Ping 4 series. New for this year. Best bag that I have ever owned. It is also the equivalent to the Ping Mascot bag which can be customized for college and highschool teams or for clubs or any other purpose.

I am 6'4 and got fitted for my irons and wedges to be bent 2 degrees up. I have never heard of anyone bending in either direction more than 3 degrees. 5 seems like a lot. If I were you I would go back to another fitter and ask them if the lie angles of your clubs are correct. They should put tape on the bottom of your club and have you swing on a board to find out. It is always better to have 2 different opinions just to be sure.

Many people are saying that the RBZ is the longer of the drivers from TaylorMade because it is replacing the burner line which was Taylormade's lighter and longer driver with unconventional head shape leading to increased swing speed so yes the RBZ should be longer, but you won't know if it is for you until you hit both of them to compare.

I would recommend the Revenge as well. Based on the information you gave us it seems like it would fit you best, but there is no substitute for having an Oban dealer fit you personally. This is right from Oban's website: The Revenge Series was designed with a moderately softer tip and butt section while maintaining a stiffer mid-section. This stable, yet responsive shaft is best suited for the golfer with a smooth consistent swing and a softer shaft load. To answer your second question- as long as you pick the right flex for your swing speed than no you don't have to have a higher SS to hit the Kiyoshi. I have been playing Oban shafts in my driver for a few years now. They're amazing shafts made by a great company.

I definitely can. Especially when I go from a rubber tee at the range to a plastic tee or wooden tee on the course. I wouldn't say I have been conned when I only payed $7 for 50 tees that will probably last me longer than 500 wooden tees will last you. Also, I will enjoy the tees flying backwards.
-
Awesome. I have Mizunos too... loved them since the day I demoed them.
-
Nice job taking my words out of context. Also, they do fly back more than other tees how would you know if you've never played them? I've never had tees that fly 6 feet behind me after my shot, and these definitely do. Also if you can't feel the difference between tees when you hit your obviously not that great of a player.
-
I mean I've only played 9 holes with them, and the one that broke was probably because I used the long one for an iron shot and hit down on it really hard, but supposedly they don't break at all.

So I went to GolfSmith the other day to exchange a hat for another hat. I got a nike one which by the way is awesome looking and very comfortable. On the way out I saw a box of 50 Epoch golf tees for only 6.99 so I thought why not give them a try. I asked a couple people at the store what they thought of them, and they said they were great and that a lot of people come in and buy them. I was still skeptical since I had never heard of them before. The $6.99 box comes with 40 3 1/4 inch tees and 10 1 1/2 tees. I played with them yesterday, and only used 2 tees for 9 holes. My first one broke after about 3 holes, but the second one held up for the rest of the 9 hole round. Pros - very durable one tee could potentially last up to 18 holes or even more - reduces resistance when hitting the ball - feels very nice when hitting a driver or any other club off the tee - sharp end hence very easy to stick into the tee box - biodegradable - inexpensive - they fly backwards after you hit them which is very cool I didn't really find any cons to these tees at all besides the fact that some players may not like the look of them or changing to a tee they are not familiar with. What do you guys think about these tees if you've ever heard of them before? Would you be willing to switch to a plastic tee to get more driver distance?

Penta- you might want to look at the 906f4 as well. These have a shallower face, and are a lot more easy to get into the air off the fairway and rough. As far as the 906 vs. vsteel goes they are both great 3 woods, but it seems like the Titleist is probably the way to go.

to slope or not to slope?

I play for my highschool team too, and am thinking about getting a rangefinder. I would definitely get the one without scope. This will let you use it in matches and in other tournaments in the summer. I'm thinking about getting the Bushnell Tour V2. -
I was thinking about getting a RAC Z TP, not the standard RAC.

Taylormade Burner 07 vs. R9 460?
bflat450 replied to bflat450's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Yes my club fitter will do all that. Thanks for the input guys I think I'm going to go with the R9 because I was puring that every time I hit it, and I am able to open or close the face which I like. Also I can switch shafts in and out really easily with it. -
Taylormade Burner 07 vs. R9 460?
bflat450 replied to bflat450's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Thanks for the input guys. I'm leaning towards the R9 460, but I'm not positive yet. -
Help me pick out a golf bag...
bflat450 replied to d373rm1ned's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I would just go with the Sun Mountain 3.5 bag. An awesome bag that is good for any purpose. It has a lot of color options too. http://www.tgw.com/customer/category...attrVal0/stand -
Hey guys I took a trip to Golf Galaxy today to demo a few drivers, and really liked a couple TaylorMade drivers. I tested the 2007 TaylorMade Burner Driver (the red and silver one) and the R9 460. The burner that I tested was 10.5 degrees and had a regular flex even though I use a stiff. (There were no stiffs available in lefty). I hit this for a while and really liked it and the feel, but I was hitting some balls around the face most of them near the center. When I hit the R9 460 (9.5 stiff) the ball seemed to rocket off the face, and the I hit every ball right on the upper part of the face all within a half inch of each other right on the sweet spot. The guy who worked there said that the reason I probably had more dispersion on the burner was due to the regular shaft. I really liked both clubs, but I cannot decide which one I should get. What is everyone's opinion on this matter? TaylorMade 2007 Burner Driver 460 or R9 460?

Yeah I think so

Titleist D3/Voodoo - what is ballooning?
bflat450 replied to flanagan's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Seems weird because the VooDoo shaft should keep the ball a little lower especially with the D3. -
just ordered a new bag
bflat450 replied to wedge player's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Sweet. Good Luck with the new bag. Maybe it will inspire you to get to that 2 handicap. -
I would go with the Tour Burner... great club and has really come down in price.

Dave Pelz "AlmostGolf" Foam Practice Golf Balls
bflat450 replied to FlopShotArtist's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Yeah they are quite workable... I would say the same, but when I hit a fade sometimes they carry over my fence into my neighbors yard. -
Help me understand hybrids.
bflat450 replied to SpacklersEdge's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
That's because your nickent hybrid is a 2iron + which means a stronger loft.
