most overrated clubs/brands? most underrated?

overrated: Scotty Cameron putters -
For anybody in the market for a new bag, LOOK NO FURTHER! I love this bag! It fits everything in there. I really like the putter well, but my favorite part is the built in cooler. My local courses have no outside ice chest policies so this is a great way of sneaking past that and not paying a crazy amount to get a cold beer on the course. Looking past that it has tons of storage, a pen holder (i keep a pen in there for looks, but never keep score with a pen) and is pretty light weight! On top of all of this, IT LOOKS BAD A$$! Anybody looking for a new bag, the org 14 is the bag to get.

First this should have a BIG asterisk on it, as I am a high handicap and this was not done on an actual green. The 4 balls used were a Nike 20XI-S, Bridgestone E6 (w/dual dimple), Tommy Armour Silver Scot and a Wilson Maximum. Putter used was an Odyssey White Ice D.A.R.T. Blade. I found that I was least accurate with the Bridgestone E6, followed by the Nike 20XI-S then the Wilson and most accurate with the Tommy Armour Silver Scot. Doing this has intrigued me to do a full on Drive, Iron, Chip and Putt comparison between the 4. I'm going to take three of each to the course with me and tee off one of each on one Par 5, two Par 4's and one Par 3. I am going to wait to do this until I get my Razr Hawk this friday for the driver portion, razr X irons will be used, the chip shots with a razr x approach wedge, razr x pitching wedge or an adams puglielli 56* and putting with my trusty D.A.R.T. blade. Excited to see the results!

Whats next for the Taylormade in 2012?
McShank replied to Made 2 Taylor's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I heard they are adding 14 more weights to it and filling the head with a nitrous oxide to make the ball go 900.34 yards further than the leading competitions driver. Oh and it will have a button on the nub of the grip to activate "super long" mode, but that will only be on the TP version. -
Callaway RAZR X or Cobra S3 Irons
McShank replied to neonlew's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I have hit the S3 Max and I own a set of Razr X, what i've noticed with my razr x's is that even the miss hits get good distance! I feel much more confident with these clubs in my hands, either way though you are getting a great set of clubs! -
If you had to have one brand of clubs in your bag....
McShank replied to golf4tito's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I just went all one brand, used to have prima 3 irons (ping eye 2 knock offs) adams wedge driver and hybrid+fw and a dunlop putter, just switched over to all callaway/odyssey. Love all of this stuff! Glad I made the switch. -

Aldila RIP Stiff in the Razr Hawk -
Trying to find a new driver.
McShank replied to bigballer69's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
right on, let me know if the nike sounds weird to you, too. I hit that thing and couldn't get over the sound. My new stuff has been showing up, as of right now I have the razr x 5 iron, approach wedge and 3 hybrid, the razr hawk 3 and 5 woods and my org 14 bag. Tomorrow my razr x 6,7,8 and 9 irons will be coming in. Next week the 4 iron and pitching wedge and some time toward the end of the month my razr hawk 9.5 neutral will be here. Hooray for new stuff! -
No offense to any TM fans out there, but I think there stuff as of late is crap. I think a lot of this is a gimmick. Not to say that they are the only company selling gimmicks, I just think they push it a little too much. The entire r11 line is a perfect example.

McShank replied to bigballer69's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
AWESOME!!!! I hit the s3, i couldn't get a fair feel for it just because it was regular shaft and I need a stiff. But my fiance's dad has it and LOVES it. Good choice! -
Buying a Driver from Golf Galaxy
McShank replied to YnotMcFly's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I hit the machspeed and too me it sounds too "tinny" if that makes sense, not saying its a bad driver or anything of the sort. I believe the Diablo Octane is the same price as those, I would look at that one too. I really liked hitting that driver but i hit the razr hawk better so I went with that. I would just ask to hit everything in your price range and go with whatever you end up hitting the best. -

Don't worry about it, some people are so pathetic that they run out of things to dislike people for so they resort to things they have, in our case, callaway clubs. To johnclayton1982 I'm very sorry that you resort to not liking people because they don't have the same setup as you. GET A LIFE! -

McShank replied to bigballer69's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
you may want to look at the Diablo Octane it's down 100 bucks in price now so it is in your price range. Also the Nike SQ Machspeed? The only one of what you listed that I have hit was the superfast and I just can't get a feel for the way it looks at address... -

I think it is a bit tough to say Callaway or Titleist are "overrated." I can see with TM because the add a weight on top of weights and just say that is one more weight you can adjust, but really if you think about it, Callaway isn't selling their stuff on the "adjustability" hype that TM and Titleist and just about everybody else are. The Razr hawk has no adjustability like the R11, 910D or VR. Anybody that has hit it knows it is money, I think that it comes down to who makes the best product for your style of play. For me Callaway performs the best, and I absolutely hate the TM stuff. But for others the may feel the exact reverse, which is the beauty of having multiple manufactures. And if you don't like the clubs somebody buys, then shut your mouth and drink a beer and don't worry about it! -
Thanks I'm really excited!

Buying my first set of "real" clubs
McShank replied to maradona10's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
First, I'm a terrible golfer so take what I have to say for what it is worth. Second, clubs won't make you a better player, but clubs that look right to your eye and inspire confidence in you upon address will help you become a better player. So don't buy just any clubs go to a local shop and get fitted to the right club that look right and feel right to you. Third, and this is the step I am about to take part in, get lessons! This is what will really maximize the effects of having the right clubs for you. Just my two cents. -
Boy am I excited, just got all new irons, driver, woods, hybrid and bag! Well I have to wait for it all to get delivered but the order has been placed! So what did I order? Callaway Razr X Irons 4-AW Callaway Razr X 3 Hybrid (stiff shaft) Callaway Razr Hawk 3&5 Woods (stiff shafts) Callaway Razr Hawk Driver (9.5* stiff shaft) Callaway Org 14 Sport Bag (Black) The clubs I am playing now belonged to my dad before he passed away three ago, I started playing frequently a few months ago and have been loving it. But I didn't want anything to happen to my dad's clubs and I thought it would be cool to always have them if my future children ever want to learn to play. I probably didn't need this high end of stuff but I said screw it and went for it. I have hit it all at a local shop with a track man launch monitor and I play it all pretty well compared to my current stuff. I looked at the razr and diablo edge/octane stuff but at the end of the day i played the razr stuff better. I just recently picked up an odyssey white ice d.a.r.t. blade and love that thing so it will be cool to have a completely new set up!

I use FootJoy Countours and love them

The Cobra S3 Max and Callaway Diablo Edge are good game improvement irons

Made a trip to sports authority today and picked up a nice new Odyssey White Ice D.A.R.T. Blade! The manager was really cool there and price matched an online website for the cool price of 134.99! Can't wait to take it out the course on sunday!
