  1. I can't say enough good things about the MacTec fairway woods and hybrids. Same technology as the Exotics in addition to being just as long and more forgiving IMO. Better stock shaft too! Price? They are an absolute steal right now! Try one. You won't regret it.
  2. I play the R7 XD's and I can't say anything bad about them. They launch the ball no higher than any other game improvement iron and I tried most of them. Because of the strong lofts you will probably be hitting 1/2 to 1 less club on most shots but this isn't a problem once you get your distances down. I also have the matching Gap and SW so I don't have any distance gaps between clubs. They are forgiving and surprisingly workable if you have that in your game. One other comment I would like to make is that you hear all the time that you can't feel a bad shot on the clubface with game improvement irons but I found this not to be true with these irons. When I make a bad swing and hit off the toe or heel I can certainly feel it. Your shot does end up better than traditional irons but you can certainly feel a bad shot on the clubface. One last comment I would like to make as far as reviews. What one person doesn't like about a certain club others may love. Some golfers are brand loyal or have preconceived predjudices about certain clubs. You should always try a club you're interested in because you owe it to yourself to try a club you are considering before spending your hard earned dollars.
  3. I had 10 irons regripped with Golf Pride Tour Velvets for 50 bucks including installation.
  4. You can get a better price than that at Dick's. Bought mine for 2.49 apiece

    Sunglasses

    Is anyone using a prescription sunglass lense and if so what brand of sunglasses do you use?
  6. I used to have a large TM staff bag becuase of the ease of removing and placing my clubs in the large top opening but I found it too cumbersome and it didn't fit properly on the cart. I have since switched to a TM Monaco bag with 14 slots for my clubs. It fits on the cart much better and is much lighter in weight yet it offers enough pockets for everything. It's sort of a mini staff bag. I really like the ease of removing and replacing clubs in 14 slot bags. You can see each number of the club much easier.
  7. TaylorMade R7 425 TP REAX 65 w/rombax technology. I can't seem to find a better driver for me. The 460 heads are a little more forgiving (although the 425 is more forgiving than most give credit) but I don't have the trajectory control from these larger heads as much as I do with my 425 TP.
  8. Not so. There is a 3* difference between these sets from the 5 iron through 8 iron. 2* difference between the rest of the set.
  9. The stronger lofts coming out now on the game improvement irons are to counteract the low and deep center of gravity on these irons. I hit an R7 XD 7 iron and RAC LT 7 iron side by side. The XD 7 iron loft is 30* and RAC 7 iron (original model) loft is 35* I found no appreciable distance gain with the XD. I hit the XD much higher with a lot less roll and the RAC LT had a much more boring trajectory. The biggest difference to me wasn't the loft of the irons but trying to figure out where I want to land the ball. There is definitely an adjustment to be made when playing these strong lofted game improvement irons but total distance doesn't seem to be one of them in my testing. I'm sure other opinions will vary.
  10. Let me make this more clear....By the top I mean the top of the putter! I don't like where its positioned towards the back because I feel I have to look back to align it. It's just me though and how I feel about these types of alignment aids. If it works for you thats good and more power to you!
  11. I had one and I sold it. I just couldn't line it up well. Alignment aids should be on top. Good feel though.
