Good luck trying to find a wide variety of used lefty clubs...

A bit fat??? If I'm spending hundreds on equipment, I want to be able to hit them. Maybe spend a hundie on lessons?

Aren't the N1P's already a tour-ball?

Honestly, wedges are the last things that I would buy used on ebay. It's highly difficult to determine the quality of the grooves. Adams wedges? Never heard of em.

http://www.redvblue.com.au/online.htm I'll say, I think I did pretty well for myself!

Is there any doubt that Heroshi isn't going to win it all?

IRA's & Mutual Funds Honestly, the first thing you should invest in is a good set of used irons, 3-PW. I definatly reccomend used because 1) their cheaper, 2) in the winter, their dead cheap, 3) 90% of the time, the resale is equilivant. Start with a nice cavity back set. They're much more forgiving and you'll see drastic improvements with your shots. I reccomend the Taylormade RAC OS2s. They can be easily found for under $275 used. I'd shy away from anything overly expensive because honestly, at this point, you definately won't be able to tell the difference. Secondly, a great quality putter. You take the most strokes with it and should reign confidence the minute you pull it out of the bag. Third, get yourself a nice wedge. Used cleveland wedges fetch a very fair price (~$25) and will get your short game going. Lastly, a nice driver can be found around $100. Doesn't need to be overly fancy, just enough to get it 'out there.' This is frankly where I'd spend the least amount of dough. Oh, and ProV1's are a waste of money for high handicapped players.

Don't suck

Personally, I wouldn't blame a club for a snap hook.

Recently, it's been a love/hate relationship with my Cleveland RTG wedges. I can't seem to do anything with my 56. Frankly, I don't think it's the club's fault... I switched it out to my RAC 55* cavity back. I can hit it farther but with nearly zero feel around the greens. I'm thinking of taking it back out and replacing it with my RTG Diadac 53*. So... PW: 45* AW: 50* SW: 53* LW: 60* I'm just not digging that gap within my sand and lob wedge... I duno, it's Michigan. Golf season was over two months ago.

1. Driver- Callaway FT-i 2. Fairway Wood- Titliest 906F2 3. Hybrid- Nickent 4. Game Improvement Irons- R7 CGB 5. Super Game Improvement Irons- ?? 6. Player's Irons- Mazuno MP-57's 7. Wedge- Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 8. Putter: Mallet- Odyssey Marxman 9. Putter: Blade- Odyssey Black 10. Premium Balls- Titleist Pro-V1 11. Non Premium NXT Tour

Another thing I was thinking was that maybe the meter was acutally capturing the ball speed at some of these hits.

Michigan = No Winter Golf IT'S WINTER!

I was at the dome last night with a couple guys; one who had a swing speed meter. Everybody took turns with different clubs seeing exactly where they stand. Everyone was in the ~116 mph range. One guy, when really turning into it, hit 126! When I stepped up, I was very surprised. My average driver swing rated in at 106. I consistantly outdrive each of these guys every week by 10+ yards. How?

Wilson blackjack? Jeez, time for the $6 ball.

I would go absolutley bonkers. There's a joke in the new Ben Stiller movie about playing behind Asian golfers. Really funny.

At my 'home' course, for 18, I hit driver about 3 times throughout the round; two par 5's and a reachable par 4. The difference between my driver and 3 wood is ~20 yards. Driver: 280; 3 Wood: 260.

Engineer, by chance?

I wouldn't be worried about balls....

I'd drive the hole Think outside the box, folks.

Gloves < Balls

I push a tee shot into the left trees on a short par 5. I find my ball about 10 yards in. I decide, instead of playing it smart, I want to advance it between two trees which are about 5 feet apart about 15 yards up. From there, it's an easy wedge onto the green. I pull out my hybrid, line it up, hit the hell out of it. It fires right back at my left nut. Ended up putting up a nice fat 8 on it.

My favorite all-time episode! I have it password-locked on my tivo so it'll never be erased. John Daly is the modern Arnold Palmer.

Ditch your current 3 and 4 woods and get a 15* 3 Wood and a 17* Hybrid. The extra loft will be a little more forgiving off the deck. The idea is that you want to do the most you can with of all your clubs in your bag. I hit my 15* 3 wood about 260 off the tee and my #2 Hybrid about 240 off the tee.
