These are a hybrid players club. The short irons are musclebacks, the long irons are cavity backs...They are fantasic clubs, especially with the T4 shafts. I've been playing them for 15 years and haven't considered replacement.

quick fix: (note Im a lefty) Move your back foot backwards 2-6 inches (play with it to see the difference) It naturally closes off your stance and closes the clubhead more at impact.... I do this with my driver and long irons when i'm seeing some fade im not looking for... Also the staples of taking the club back cleanly, getting your hips through the impact, having good hand pronation at impact...

Agreed, I bought the 2011 model off ebay for 1/2 the price of the '12's, and have to say they are the best golf shoe i've ever worn... I want to get a similar pair of sneakers they are so comfortable... Friends swear by the adidas 360's/ATV's and i've tried them on and they seem comfy too, i'd go one of those two directions...

It comes down to the design talent of the team putting together the course... I know through some personal experience that they have different philopsophies and approach, on design, bunkering, drainage... For example Rees Jones likes to make use of the surroundings and contour the fairways in a concave fashion to promote natural drainage. Whereas Jack Nicklaus likes convex fairways with more drainage basins. The talent is really dialing in risk/reward on the course, making shorter landing areas safer and tightening up further out. Keeping the rough reasonable to respect pace of play and skill level. Eliminating blind tee shots and blind landing areas...Having bunkers to protect OB and also force those risk/reward scenarios... Undulation to make even short holes have more variability of shotmaking because of the lies... Seems using alot of false fronts in very popular with pretty much everyone... The real talent in my opinion is making a challenging course that still plays fairly fast, because you want it to work well for players of varying skill levels, you don't want a course that get constipated by a few senior groups....

i wouldn't overthink it, water, brush (old toothbrush works great), towel, dish soap if you feel like it.... Make sure you dry them well....

Find a nice used set of Ben Hogan Apex Edge Pro irons... can be had for ~$300-350, forged, combination of a players iron for the short irons, has a bit of cavity back on the longer irons... easy to hit, I have a 4 hybrid i bought, and had it out on the range, and realized i had better ball flight and more consistency playing the 4i than the hybrid... I was aiming at a large oak tree about 190 yards out, was hitting nice soft/'balloony' trajectories with the hybrid that would bounce a couple times and settle up. I was clanging tree with the 4i... I then spent some time cursing why i don't take a 3-4i off the tee more often and take my 200yds down the pipe all day long... I need to work more on teeing off to the proper landing area and distances rather than blasting away with more variance and having half wedges and whatnot... at the end of the day its the swing, not the club, keep that in mind.

Quite a brag post... If you were serious about keeping a pristine collection you wouldn't game them would you? Did Cameron Frye's dad game his ferrari? No, he spent his days wiping it with a diaper. FWIW I game a pro platinum del mar 3 i unsuspectingly bought used about 10 years ago... love it... think i am going to slap a mid sized winn grip on it...

noodles are better than top flites, another decent cheap ball is the srixon soft feels. I have been playing b330 rx's and really like them. Going to try nxt tour s as well at some point.

there are a bunch, i always liked Noodles as a step up from the traditional 'rock' balls like top flites and comperable junk.. Bridgestone e5-7 depending on your swing I've heard are pretty good as well... I'd spend you money on range time and practice before spending big dough on balls, get your ball striking honed and you will see alot more improvement than any dimple design could give you.

Figure out which apps have the courses you want to use... I DL'ed Airvue golf on my Iphone 4 for $10, took it out last weekend and it was ok, felt the distances were consistently 5-7 yards shorter than the distance stones and course markers were suggesting though...

played on cape cod last saturday, mid to high 40's, was a bit chilly, but the course was in great shape and besides letting a fast 2-some play through we didn't see another person on the course all day... a good way to start the season...

Just bought a clicgear 3.0 after having a few good experiences renting a decent bag boy push cart... The difference in experience between a junky pull/push cart and something stable, and easy to dink around was much bigger than i anticipated.. I have courses the require carts, but i'm looking forward to more push cart rounds this summer. Carrying a 30# sack of clubs around is for the birds... No thank you.

I passed on that deal too lol and went with the $30 case of B330-rx. I wasn't sure if the $6 noodles in the recycled brown packaging were the same as the original noodle. They had a soft feel and a distance. I hate playing with rocks, but $6 a dozen is a pretty decent deal. Be curious what you think of them

Behoove you meaning it would be in your best interest.
