I've been Playing Golf for: 9 months My current handicap index or average score is: 10 My typical ball flight is: driver- mid/high, slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: I need more distance. My current drive is 225-230 carry. I also rarely hook the ball. Videos:

i ended up not putting it on with water activated tape. once i got home, I used my solvent and solvent tape and it slid right on!

I just bought a Cleveland putter and an iomic putter grip for it. I cannot get this grip on and it is being the biggest pita. I have water activated tape and the grip is so tight that I cannot put it on. I need to play in 4 hours and I do not have an air compressor or solvent. Any help getting this thing on? I've tried soap and water but it is simply too hard to get on.

I'm buying some irons on ebay and they're a great deal, but they have ugly orange ferrules, and one of the clubs is even missing one. I have a blow torch and some knowledge on how to reshaft a club, but I've never done it before. Is it ok to take off the shaft by just pulling it apart with my hands? It's a steel shaft so it doesnt look like I could do any harm.

Thanks for the response. I just tried the line thing and made all my divots after the line. I normally have no problem with hitting fat. I'm definitely going to save up some money and look into some mizunos.

Ok so I've been playing golf for around 5 months or so, but I'm definitely not some beginner. I get lessons once a week, and go to the range and play almost every day. Currently I'm playing some taylormade burner xd irons that I picked up on ebay when I first started. I like them, but I found a cheap forged Mizuno t-zoid pro 6 iron and decided to try it out (just for fun). I went to the range with it today and was hitting better and more consistently with it than my burner 6 iron, not to mention it was forged. I'm really considering switching to some forged cavity back irons, like the mp-53's, within the next few months and was wondering if someone like me would really benefit from this. I am really not a fan of the huge oversized faces that my burners have.

i have a winn jumbo lite grip and love it. At first, I had a hard time judging distance, but immediately, aim was spot on. Now distance is not an issue and ive never putted any better.

Hit or miss with fake clubs?

I found tons of fake clubs on alibaba. They look really good, considering they are directly from china. Just wondering if anyone has tried any of these, and has any feedback on them. You can find almost any club, and can even pick the shaft. They look completely identical to the real ones. I just have no clue how they perform. Here's some of them http://www.**********.com/product-fm/548575989-1-set-MP-59-golf-irons-3-9-P-steel-shaft-regular-or-stiff-with-free-wholesalers.html http://www.**********.com/product-fm/515435188-HOT-SELLING-NEW-STYLE-Studio-1-5GOLF-PUTTER-putters-FAST-SHIPPING-wholesalers.html http://www.**********.com/product-gs/553566355-High-Quality-Golf-iron-R11-graphite-shaft-Flex-S-wholesalers.html

ok I'll use a normal lens and reupload it. I had to use the fisheye because I didn't have enough room in my backyard, but I'll just go to the range.

this is exactly what I thought, but say I close my clubface, or try to keep it closed throughout impact, the ball will go straight. Or even when I set up for a draw, with my feet closed, it still start straight and then go right. even knowing I'm for sure hitting inside out.

I've been Playing Golf for: 3 months My current handicap index or average score is: 15 My typical ball flight is: Driver: High, Start straight and then go right Irons: High, relatively straight. Every so often I hit a moderate slice with them The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: Slice with driver due to open face. I cant really figure out the key to squaring my clubface with my driver. I know I lower my head on my backswing. I have no clue how I got into a habit of doing this, but I'm trying to fix it. Videos:

I just cut my shaft down today from 45.5 to 43.5. HUGE difference in where the ball is hitting, and control. In fact, it gives me even more distance just because it's easier to hit the sweet spot. Definitely a big yes from me.
