I guess I spoke too soon earlier this week. Yesterday I made my first eagle, on the same course but the 3rd hole not the second. Driveable par 4, 321 from the blue tees, the green was burnt out so they put a temporary green up just off the front edge. I hit driver to 15 ft and sunk the putt. I'm not sure if it really counts but it felt good.

Favorite glove....and why?
williethekid replied to toddmlazarchick's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Titleist players glove. Steep price is the only con ($19/glove), fit is amazing and consistent, durability is the best I have experienced. And feel is the benchmark for which all other gloves should be measured. 2 gloves will last me 20 rounds (including range time) or about 3-4 months. Anyone know where I could buy in bulk to get a better price? A half dozen would get me through the year easily. -
Got to play on my home course last sunday in between heavy showers. While the first 4 holes were playable, the greens got soaked afterwards. Left after 9, but was glad I stayed for my shot of the week. Hole 2, par 5, 528 yards, downhill slight dogleg left. Started by hitting my drive perfectly, over the corner, carrying the bunker (260 downhill), and expecting a 300+ yard drive. Arrive to my ball on a fairly steep sideslope, hanging lie. its about 240 to the pin (front of the bunker), and there is a swollen stream to cover 15 yards short of the green. As is was so wet decide to go for it. Hit a rifle with my 3 wood that hit the green and stopped ~15ft to the hole. Missed on the amateur side but as my best eagle try so far, was happy for the tap in birdie.

Wedge Bounce Question?
williethekid replied to juanrjackson's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Check out the titleist site for bounces, it really depends on the club. 14 degrees on a 56 degree wedge is moderate bounce, where its really high on a 58 or 60. Low bounce to me means 56-10, 60-04. So your 56 is low bounce, where as your 60 is moderate bounce. I play high bounce because I use the utley short game method and am a digger. -
Titty guys- Anyone sticking with their 907's
williethekid replied to kekoa's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Might be sticking with the 905r, will have to decide after a few sessions with the 909. Very appealing from what I have heard thusfar. -
I use titleist players gloves, very durable. For those wearing holes in the permasoft, is it where the thumb stiching is? The players glove moves the seam and might alleviate those problems.
-
I think most people regard the 905r as more solid than the 907, however as a 905r player I am bias. Can't go wrong with the 905r although I will be most likely upgrading to the 909, heard its even more solid, more forgiving, and an improvement.

Ask Your Titleist Fall 2008 Questions
williethekid replied to iacas's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Voodoo is more exotic than the V2, you get custom order the V2, I'm sure for not to high of a price. Personally if I were you, I would order the 906 series when they go on sale, they come stock with v2's. -
My titliest 3 wood just broke
williethekid replied to obsessedgolfer's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Just get the new 909F fairway woods, or if you're like me, get the 906's when they go on sale. I love my 906f2's, best FW I have ever played and rediculously long. I hit mine 270 today off the tee. Left an awkward 40yard pitch unforunately. -

Paula's Balls
williethekid replied to Harry Longshanks's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Pretty sure only balls and drivers have to conform as far as submission. Clubs that have add ons like sandpaper do not conform and are not submitted. So thats why rebadged irons are ok. -
Which Scotty Cameron is the best putter made?
williethekid replied to shotstop_10's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I think the best according to cameron collector.com is the 009 GSS, but for the average joe, I think any of them are great. FYI the GSS models go $4K and up -

909D3 Driver Can you discuss MOI compared to past models, specifically the 905R. -
Best looking irons? Have your say.
williethekid replied to Hacksaw's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Scratch Golf SB-1, perfect. -
I use a toothpick or a small paintbrush and fille the cavity, wipe the excess off with a acetone soaked cloth. It might be tough with multiple colors, try masking off the letters you don't want filled.

The coolest golf gadget ever
williethekid replied to obsessedgolfer's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Not legal, but awesome, have to measure a few points though on long putts. Thinking about trying greenfinder, its a $35 GPS for iphone, wheres the scorecard app? -
Shaft Torque causing pushes?
williethekid replied to williethekid's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Thanks for the help, I might try an NV65 in the driver, or get one of the new titleist drivers coming out with a different shaft. -

Where are Bridgestone clubs made?
williethekid replied to not yet satisfied's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
That J36 hybrid looks sick, think one of those will be on its way shortly. -
Shaft Torque causing pushes?
williethekid replied to williethekid's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
No that makes sense, except for the fact my 3 wood is about as small as they come and the driver is as big. I just wondered because the clubs were quite different. I tried my buddies driver this past week and had the same problem. Took a lesson and the pro worked on turning my hips faster which increased distance and forced me to come more outside. Thanks for everyones help. -
Anyone play nike equipment?
williethekid replied to Wiserrr's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
on tgw.com you can get the 06's for that price as well, the 08's just have a little more distance.
