  1. Taylormade R7 Infinity - that's how long they'll continue to make the R7 line and the $ they'll charge you.
  2. I personally like the mp32s much better than the mp67. I'm not really big on whether the club is a muscle or cavity back but rather on how much offset and forgiveness a club has. It just so happens that the clubs with minimal offset happen to be muscle backs. I don't like the feel of the Titleist ZB compared to Mizunos. I never tested the AP2s so I can't really comment on how they play, but they're fun to look at. I would really recommend you go with the mp32 since it's basically the same as the mp67 but more forgiving. You should probably try out the mp62s. They look like quality clubs.
  3. Is that an aftermarket 60g Rombax shaft? Here's what you can do: buy the nike sasquatch and sell me your tour burner. =)
  4. If the fitting is free, then you can just get your irons/wedges retro fitted for your current swing and adjust the lie accordingly. As far as the woods, a fitting will only improve your distance with new equipment that fits better so it's not as big of a deal. Getting your irons retro fitted won't cost you as much money and can help you out in the short run. And when you're ready to spend the big $, get fitted for all new equipment in '09.
  5. Seeing that you're a 20+ handicapper, I would recommend the Top Flite D2 Feel. It's a great value ball at $15.99 for a box of 15. It's not as soft as the mid level balls (NXT Tour, E6+, HX Hot Bit) but it's not rock hard either like the Pinnacles/Warbird/Freak. It's a low compression ball so the ball will travel really well for players with driver swing speeds under 90mph. It has the most distance off of long irons compared to any ball I've played.
  6. Golf balls are all about your budget and how much spin you want in your short game. If money is not an issue, the more expensive balls are definitely worth it. However, if you're a high handicapper (20+) and are on a budget, and lose a lot of balls, then you should definitely go with pinnacles or balls that are around $1 each. If you're a medium or low handicapper on a budget, I highly suggest the Bridgestone e5+ over the NXT Tour or any other mid level ball. It's a $25/dozen ball that has a urethane cover which is the only urethane cover ball that costs less than $40. All other mid price balls are made with a surlyn cover or some sort of surlyn blend. If any of you out there are worried about distance, don't stress about it too much. Golf balls have less than 10 yards of difference in terms of distance off the driver with a 90mph swing speed except for the nike one platinum. Of course, if your driver swing speed is less than that, the less distance difference there will be. http://www.golf.com/golf/features/flash/ballguide3.html
  7. If you want a subjective opinion, I would say go with 6.5s. When it comes to irons, i would rather feel like I'm swinging a metal rod than a whip; control over distance. http://www.royalprecision.com/precis..._projectx.html The chart also says that your swing speed matches a 6.5. My 6-iron swing speed is between 80-85mph and I went with the 6.0 because I felt like I had more control of the club with a stiffer shaft. When it all comes down to it it's all about what you feel more comfortable with, like JYB said.
  8. Got my 2 sleeves in the mail today and played a round of 18 already. The packaging box for the promotional 2 sleeves of golf balls is very fancy. The honeycomb dimples are an unique and interesting design. Out of the box, the balls have a sticky coating and performed as well if not better than the pro v1 in terms of short game spin (less than 20 yards). However, as the ball was hit and cleaned a few times, the cover was not as sticky as it was out of the box and the performance declined for those short shots. The golf ball had no improvement to my tee shots in terms of distance. From feel, the ball performed fairly well off the tee in terms of keeping the ball straight by limiting the spin. I noticed the ball launched much higher off of the scoring and long irons without excess spin to exaggerate draws or cuts. The ball flew straight off of iron shots. The key is that it does everything a pro v1 can but just has slightly less spin on short wedge shots. It is more durable than a pro v1 and costs slightly less. I would still go with a pro v1 for raw performance and go with a mid level ball like the bridgestone e5+ or e6+ for value.
  9. I carry 1: The 17* Mizuno Hybrid. I've hit plenty of hybrids, taylormade burner, taylormade tp rescue, titleist, and found the mizuno clk had the best feel, most distance, and was the easiest to hit. I have yet to try an Adams hybrid so I cannot comment on them. I use my 17* more as a wood replacement rather than an iron replacement. I feel hybrids are much easier to hit off the deck than woods. I hi my 21* 3-iron max of 210 yards but can hit the 17* hybrid 240 yards everytime.
  10. Having a hybrid that's easier to hit and flies further than any 3-wood I've hit is the reason I don't carry a 3-wood. Like someone mentioned above, that's why we get to organize our own bags. My 17* hybrid is the easiest club to hit in my bag; 245 yards off the tee and 220 off the deck.
  11. I've been playing really well the past month. Shot a 76 two weeks ago on a par 72, 6801 72.8/124 Diamond Bar Golf Course . Shot a good front 9, 1 under 35. Then basically played my average round of golf on my back 9 to end up with my score.
  12. I see you're a Mizuno iron player so I think you would love their wedges. Their wedges have the best feel of all the big name wedges out there but probably have the least amount of spin. Sounds like the combination you're looking for.

    Anthony Kim...

    Many players/pros grip down/choke up for distance control or a difficult stance. If I'm between a 6 and 5-iron, I would choke down on a 5-iron and take a 3/4 swing. Another example is if I'm playing from a fairway bunker, I would take an extra club and choke down on it since my feet are below the ball, thus preventing me from hitting it fat. Back to Anthony Kim. When I voted on this poll, I voted "Never" because I read the question wrong. I thought the post asked "How long before Anthony Kim wins a 'MAJOR' instead of a PGA Tour event?" Now someone should go start a poll for that.
  14. I use iron covers. I'm sure many of you had your bags fall off the golf cart. I've done that plenty of times. It's not so fun when your bag falls off the golf cart on the cart path.... That's why I use iron covers.
  15. What item did you receive twice? Sounds to me like you got a good deal.
