I am starting to have a real problem. Can a shaft make that much difference? I bought a FT-5 with an accuflex creation 65g stiff shaft about 2 weeks ago. I loved the club head when I hit it a few months ago. I used it for a weekend tourney as soon as I got it and I wasn't quite used to the creation but I hit some great drives with it but it wasn't as consistent as my SQ with the redboard. I figured I just need to get used to it. The ones I did smash felt awesome. I took a week off last week as I needed to step away for a couple of days. I became more inconsistent with all my clubs as that weekend tourney progressed. I played this past Sunday with couple of guys from my club and I was hitting all irons and wedges great. Better than usual. But I couldn't do anything off the tee. I either hit low wormers or low snap hooks. I even topped quite a few. I hit one long deep drive that actually got up with a nice trajactory. But that was it. I went to the range today at lunch and did the same thing. Irons nice and straight with a beautiful fade every now and then. Drivers sucked! low burners or snap hooks. I might of hit 2 or 3 good drives. I was pissed as I drove away. I got home from work and grabbed the Superquad out of the spare bag and I tee'd up two balls in the fairway behind my house and hit back-to-back bombs down the middle. All I could do was laugh. Both clubs are the same loft both shafts are stiff and about the same weight (63g & 65g) I know I got frustrated at the range which caused me to be more tense. I was somewhat laid back at the house, but I still don't think that I was swinging that much differently at home than on the range. Can a shaft make that much difference? I know I have swing flaws, which I am trying to cure. (first lesson of the season tomorrow.) But my usual mis-hits with the Superquad are a long killer hook. All my mishits with the FT-5 were low and short or low snap hooks. I don't have launch data except for swing speed (107-110). I have a fast transfer and a quick tempo. I am planning on asking as many questions tomorow as possible but I wanted to know what you guys thought. I really want to love this combo. I love the FT-5. It looks great and has the most pop of any driver that I have hit. But I am starting to think it is the shaft. I am developing this same senerio in my 3 wood. But hopefully that when I cure my driver problem my 3 wood problem will go away.

I just won a black FGP Seemore putter for $61 on ebay. It describes it as 9 out 10. I can't wait to get it. my putting needs help in a bad way and I hope the scope system straightens me out. I have been watching these for a while and haven't seen one go for less that $150

I believe I have very quick hands. I swing to hard most of the time. I felt like the club was behind and not catching up. I know I have swing faults. If i'm not careful my transition gets really fast. I have to tell myself to almost stop in my transition from my backswing to my downswing. Last time i was a monitor my SS averaged around 107mph.

For this forum I guess I should have asked, "What Irons should I play?".

Bear with me for a second. I ordered a new TEE CB2 after hitting one on a monitor at Golf Headquarters about a month ago. The club I ordered was supposed to be in 8.5 out of 10 condition with a stiff NV shaft. When I received the club it had a brand new head with a stock Xquad regular flex shaft. I hit it a couple of times this weekend on the course, and sliced the dog mess out of it. So I need to get a stiff shaft put into it. I want to know if I am just supposed to buy a shaft that is uncut at 46" and let the fitter cut it down to the correct length or am I supposed to find a shaft that is the correct length? I would assume that the shaft characteristics would change if you are cutting the tip (making it more tip stiff) or cutting the but end (making it lighter) I guess what I am wanting to know is are fairway shafts are made any different than driver shafts? Every new shaft that I see on any website or ebay is uncut at 46" I am looking to get into doing my own club work as the closest fitter is an hour away. Just trying to learn a few things.

I love Global Golf. I have bought a bunch of stuff and have never had a problem. It just so happens that I ordered a set of Titleist 755 irons yesterday morning and they were sitting on my desk at 11:00 am this morning. I only paid for 3 day shipping but I still received them overnight. They had a 3 star rating and they look like they have been hit maybe a dozen times. The new is barely rubbed off. I would rate these a solid 4 star. Everything else I have bought is always in better condition than I thought it would be in. In my opinion they are the best online retailer for used clubs. I won't shop anywhere else.

I just had a redboard put in my driver and love it!!!! I had a VS proto and I really liked it also, but when I really went after the ball I had less control of the club head.

what was your ball flight with the NVS compared to the BB solutions? What are the flight characteristics of the BB solutions? low/mid/high?

I recently purchased a Maltby CT250 8° head, and I am trying to decide what shaft to put in this. I currently play a 9.5° TM Superquad with a VS Proto Stiff. My ball flight with my current set up is a mid to high draw. I bought this head to get my flight down, but I don't want it low. So I was thinking of getting a mid to high launching shaft. Am I way off with my thinking? I know it is hard to suggest shafts, heads, etc. with out seeing my swing and LM stats. I do know my average swing speed is 104 mph. any help would be greatly appreciated.

What is you r normal ball flight? What I mean is do hit the ball high with your long irons and 3 wood? If you get the ball up then you will probalby need a lower lofted driver. If you have trouble getting the ball in the air then you may need the 10.5°. I have the same driver in the same loft I and still feel like I hit the ball to high. Oh yeah, It should be fine!!! let er rip!! Hope this helps

I am in the market for a good cavity back iron and I have narrowed it down to one of these. This might be a stupid question, (I'm sure Erik will let me know) but what is the difference in the two?

The kicker is that she shot a 61 on a course that had just been aerated. It also goes on to say that her hole in ones never land on the green. She must be one hell of a scrambler to shot under par. I am guessing that her GIR aren't that good.

I am having the same problems. I try to swing too hard and up not shifting my weight and staying on my right foot and not following through to the target. I am working on it as well. Just not enough hours in the day.

I hope you aren't selecting a shaft based on what color it is.

How do ya'll play in jeans? I can't play in them. Too restrictive!
