Thank you Lamkin for your generosity! You've just gotten yourself a lifelong customer!

"I could use a new set of Lamkin-branded grips because as much as I love golf, I miss being able to eat sandwiches without a rubbery aftertaste." Thank you for doing this. We SandTrappers sincerely appreciate it.

Hi all, Have a TaylorMade RBZ 3W (R flex), looking to get a fairway that I can actually hit. Not sure what I was thinking when I got the 3W but would love to get something else without being mauled by trade-in values. Looking to trade for a RAZR Fit 4W/5W or RBZ 3 HL/5W with R flex, will consider other 2012 fairways as well. The RBZ 3W is in great condition other than some face scratches (pictured). Comes with a month-old Winn Dri-Tac standard grip. You can strip your grip before you send if you prefer to keep your own. Included: near new RBZ FW headcover Thank you for reading. To ensure a safe order, I can also provide my eBay user name (so you can see that I am a reputable student seller).

FWIW, I've noticed a real change in my ability to control the club head through space when I changed to lighter weights in my driver. 6g in the heel and 4 in the toe.

Hi all, I was just wondering what grip size you would recommend for someone who wears a cadet small glove. I've seen online charts that say I should use .580 but the guy at Golfsmith was adamant that I should use a standard .600. I have a 3W with a Golf Pride .600 Multicompound on there and it does seem different from my Diablo Edge's which are .580. Also, according to the Callaway site, the RAZR Fit has a standard .600 grip on there but I think it feels like .580 like my irons. What are the benefits to sizing down? I ask because I want to get softer Winn grips and would like to make an informed purchase. Thank you.

Really? That would make a difference to me. It seems like Ogio already has the thick stands and good rubber pieces that make ground contact that I prefer (compared to the Nike Performance Carry) but it seems like it doesn't extend enough and would be unstable. What in particular are they changing with the stand? I can't seem to find any photos of this. Do you happen to have any, Gaijin?

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone had their eye on a 2013 carry/stand bag with a 14-way divider. If so, could you suggest one for me, a mostly walker, sometimes cart-er? I had a Callaway Diablo Edge stand bag but got a very generous offer from a fellow Sand Trapper so I'm now in the market for a new bag. I tried out the Nike Performance Carry 2012 but the colors clashed with my clubs, and the rumors are true: the base is not very cart friendly. I really liked the 2012 Grom XX from Ogio but I saw that the 2013 ones should be out soon with improved straps. Price range is below $250. Thank you!

Hi all, I am a high-handicapper who is 5'4"-5'5" with a wrist-to-floor measurement of 30 inches. I am pretty happy with the progress of my game everywhere except for on the tee, struggling most with my 45.5 inch driver and 43.5 inch 3-wood. I have seen online conversion charts that suggest I cut my clubs by an inch or even an 1.75". This seems like the right thing to do but I was wondering if any one had any anecdotal experience doing this. How big a change was it? Did this had any huge effect on resale value (the main hangup). I know that I shouldn't be worried about gear as someone with such a beginner's level game but part of the appeal of golf is playing with new toys, and I can see myself getting gadget lust in the near future (like how my iPhone suddenly feels inferior after today's announcement). Also, if this is definitely the right thing to do, can anyone recommend a place in the Bay Area for me to go and get my clubs fit, cut, and regripped? And does getting "fit" mean they start from scratch or can they suggest how to make the changes in my bag (like bending or cutting suggestions for the clubs I own). I would prefer the latter. Thanks, Trappers!

I play a 44, 49, 54, and 59, the default wedges for my SGI set. It makes upgrading to used Vokeys a challenge for sure, especially since I would want to keep my PW and GW.

Hi Jamo, Based on your information, I feel pretty confident saying that this is a pre-2010 Spin Milled. I think there are SM2s and SM3s though (http://www.golfsmith.com/product/30047204/titleist-vokey-tour-chrome-spin-milled-sm2-wedges) I just want to make sure I am getting the name right so that I do not misrepresent the club if I sell it, which I am leaning towards. I know I'll never be a tournament/competition level player but the idea of having "illegal" equipment is iffy to me. Also, I would like to find matching LW, GW, and hopefully PW so I think it would be too tough to find the older models. Thanks again!

Hi Jamo, so would this be SM or SM 2? or is it impossible to tell? Thank you

Thanks for the replies. Lately I am hitting the ball well enough to warrant an upgrade from my SGI stock wedges (Diablo Edge 48PW 52AW 56SW 60LW) so I was just contemplating whether to sell this Vokey and buy a whole new set of Vokeys or Cleveland wedges or keep it and upgrade around it with other wedges of the same model (also why I want to know what wedge it is). Thank you again, and any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi. A friend just gave me a Vokey 56x11 that he found in his garage. Does anyone know what model Vokey and from what year this is? I was hoping to learn a little bit more about this club including trade value. Thanks so much!

Hi grounder, Josh Zander also teaches out of Stanford on certain days which should make the commute a little closer than San Francisco. Also on campus, I've taken PE classes with Jim Miller and Phil Marrone, both of whom are great but I can't vouch for how they are with lessons. Good luck!
