Okay. Thanks for the help. I will remember this next time i'm at the course.

Yes, I occasionally top it and also, I get similar distance with my 5 and 9 and the 5 should be much farther I believe.

I started playing again recently. I am not a good golfer though. I usually hit double bogeys and bogeys. Like I said in the title, I can't hit my 5 iron. I don't know if it is because I have really cheap golf clubs. $200 for the complete set plus an additional 2009 burner driver. Or, if it is because I am doing something wrong. I hit my 5 iron worst than my 9 iron. Is their a certain technique for a 5 iron. Such as where to put the ball in my stance? Please give me some tips. Thanks.

Consistently hit under 100.

I am 14 years old and with my Maxfli driver that came with my set, I could hit the ball maybe up to only 200 yards. However, I upgraded to a Taylormade Burner 2009 and I can now hit the ball like 250 yards. 50 yards further! I also cut like 5 strokes off my game.

Its not a problem with irons, but with my fairway woods and my driver, a lot of times I hit the ball and get no loft. It will go straight down but role a while. However, sometimes, I hit it with a good amount of loft. I want to know how to get more loft on my shot. Thanks.

You need an inspiration. Do it for your wife and kids to set a good example. Everytime you can't decide wether to go to the gym or play PS3, think about your kids.

Not only is it a sport, I would say that it is harder than any other sport out their.

Drink water definitely. Diet soda is not good for you. I have heard before that normal soda is better for you than diet soda because of the aspartyme/fake sugar.

I will give you some tips the local golf pro taught me. first of all, always have the ball in the middle of your stance. Also, during your backswing, which I noticed in the video you were doing wrong, you need to keep your right arm against your body instead of sticking it out.

I have figured that out from personal experience. For example, I often play with my dad and their is this one hole on the course we go to is a hole where its a narrow fairway with trees on both sides. He would always drive where as I would use a 3 wood. I would always go straight and he would end up in the trees. Finnaly, after me telling him time after time to try his 3 wood, he did. What do you know he wen't straight and knocked 5 strokes off his score that day.

My best shot of the week was on a par 4, when I made a 15 foot putt for birdie.

Ok. And how many inches is the club in length?

On this site, I see it is ranked #1. However, I thought the R11 was #1. I don't want to pay that much for a driver though. If any of you own the 2009 Burner or have used it, how is it? How far can you drive the ball with it? Thanks.
