I live very close to the ocean (the North Atlantic at that) and that makes for typically windy conditions. I also tend to hit the ball very high which naturally makes things pretty difficult for me in terms of controlling direction. I'm now trying to alter my game to hit the ball on a lower trajectory and I'm looking for any tips or articles you guys can give.

This just summed up my thoughts on the subject perfectly. Common sense and courtesy, they should make these available in pro shops around the country

Thanks guys... The thread you linked to was fantastic. After reading through it, I don't think it's going to be a club I'm interested in buying.

I thought the same thing about Monty. I always thought he was boring, and would rather turn the TV off when he was in contention as he just seemed lifeless. But at the Skins game he was an absolute laugh. I've got a newfound appreciation of him now.

Has anyone hit this club yet? Just wondering if it's a radical switch to go to these new square headed drivers?

I don't have a problem with him smoking on the course, but do it subtlely not walking down the middle of the fairway with millions viewing. Duck out of sight from the cameras if you're going to light up. I thought that was a bit on the classless side to be perfectly honest.

Is there a copy of this piece online anywhere? My putting's brutal and I'm willing to try anything at the moment...

I'd settle for knowing if the rumors are true about whether or not Tiger can actually put up 300 lbs. on the bench...lol.

That's a great piece of info from Titleist...thanks for sharing that. That'll be a fun one to break out around the clubhouse.

Haven't even heard of the Gauge Design, but if they're anything like you describe I'll be looking to purchase. Now I just need to hear another couple of people proclaim how great they are, and then I'm all in.

I think the crowd in this thread need to start a short game thread, cause you can add my name to the brutal crowd. I could easily hack 2-3 strokes off every round of golf if I could chip AT ALL! I have a mindset that I want to put the ball within a certain distance around the pin, and for the life of me, I can't do it consistently.

I had a look into the SC v. Anser debate and it's actually true, the SC is based on the original Anser patent. Apparently patents expire after 20 years, which allowed Scotty to copy the design. Now that is something I didn't know.

While I can't speak for the Powerbands, I do wear the Tour 360s and they're definitely the most comfortable golf shoe I've ever worn. Not only that, but I also wear adidas trainers and baseball cleats and they just fit perfectly. Sorry for all the adidas love, but I'm a brand ***** for them

Haha...well, our course makes you pay badly for mistakes. Not to mention that I live in the most easterly point in North America, so the wind is constantly howling and our summer season is basically mid-July to mid-August. Excuses, excuses I know. But no worries about knocking me on my game...I only get to talk about it now for the next 6 weeks as I broke my thumb playing baseball earlier this week.

I can honestly say that shortening my swing this summer has allowed me to improve my GIR and as a result dropped my scores consistently into the low 80s (including breaking 80 a few times this summer for the first time in my golfing life).

My buddies always laugh at me and my used Pro V1s...they think I purposely look for the discolored and dirtier balls. But in any case, I get the feel of Pro-v at a discount price...so I can take a few of their jokes. In any case, I can't remember the last time I bought a new pack of golf balls.

And not to step on oneil's toes, but if you are selling the Ping putter, PM me...a friend of mine has been keeping his eyes open for them.

I made the decision to buy a used R7 club on ebay and I could not have been happier. I bought the 425 model last summer as an upgrade to the R360 I was hitting and I couldn't believe that I was actually hitting straighter. Either way, fantastic club if you're willing to buy used.
