r7 425

The hardest records tiger will have to beat is his own. Given that Id like to see Tiger be at the top of the pga tour statistics in driving accuracy.

The Open face allows highly skilled professionals to square up the face at higher swing speeds producing maximum workability.

I would love to play Loch Lomond across the Pond

Nothing bugs me more than when a high handicapper uses a high priced ball like a pro v1...in this month's golf magazine Stuart Appleby has a great quote---"Amateurs tend to overestimate clubhead speed with the driver. So they may overpurchase a ball that's a bit better than their capabilities and won't suit their real needs."

I prefer steel. However I have an 85 gram Fujikara TP rombax graphite shaft in my Taylormade Rescue TP 19 degree hybrid. A heavier graphite shaft is perfect for a hybrid. It keeps the ball from balooning and is easier to control the trajectory

I play Cleveland Tour Chrome 588 56 and 60 degrees--two wedges is what most tour players prefer---but if i had three wedges they would be 53 57 and 61 degrees respectfully

Ive always felt that these stats were kind of ovrrrated in a way just because a major stat on the pga tour is Scrambling. You see day in and day out that the top guys on tour --all chip the ball fairly well. A great wedge game pays dividends for a poor iron and putting game. To me Scrambling is the X factor

I agree with you. I also want to turn back the clock a few years and say that Titleist's best driver ever made was the 983K...That club on center hits to me is longer than any other club ive hit today. I know that it was only 363cc but in my opinion that was titleists single best club theyve ever made. It was just soo solid and very very long. Im just surprised I don't see it in more players bags at oakmont.

The 907d2 is a great driver. I like it because it feels "solid". It is a fairly forgiving club--its not nearly as forgiving as a Cobra F- Speed--but i would say that the d2 is about the same forgiveness as a TaylorMade r7 Superquad in my humble opinion.

ive heard that the Tour Burner is lighter. Also The Tour Burner Tp comes with a Whiteboard as well--thats a major upgrade

Yea I know..Its cool to see that the ball has zero sidespin whenevever the pros launch the ball. I love how the launch comes off low and then all of a sudden the ball drops. That tells you something..The pros hit the ball off of the very top part of the grooves on the irons and wedges. Thats very hard to do because you have to make the perfect strike just because of the bounce angle of the iron or wedge .

Its 1.99 here in the great city of Pittsburgh

I would switch. I would recommend a stiffer lightweight shaft. Something with less torque could help you to reduce shaft twisting.

A lower ball flight. A lower ball flight is more controllable and you can calibrate your distances better. Ive went to PGA Tour events and most of the pros --check this out--all most every single one on tour hits their driver really high and their irons really low--so thats what i would aim for if i were you..

In the new WedgeWorks on the vokey website--- Will Bob Vokey offer custom bounce options so that higher skilled players like me will have the ability to have a wedge with intermediate bounce options like 7 9 and 11...??

Taylormade is really popular at Oakmont Country Club.. I hear people talking about the next best driver all of the time. I cant believe people buy the newest driver as soon as it comes out regardless of the technology gap between the last driver they had. However i think most people just want to be seen with the latest equipment to show around. Nothing wrong with that but there have been drivers created 5 years ago that are still better than whats being produced today

Heard they are impressive. Cobra continues to put out the best technology on the market. Credit to those guys.

^^Neither--Have you tried the Odyssey Black Series http://americangolfco.com/yahoo_site...211054_std.jpg

The biggest change in 2009 will be one of golf's biggest secrets of all time being introduced into the equipment industry--- http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_r...ilable-in-2009 I mean when i read that i never knew about it

I agree on this. You are right the mp 33's and the titleists are very forgiving for blades.

Exactly-I mean what better way to do it than with an r7..They are the most versitaile drivers ever made--and you can fine tune your specs with the spin of a wrench..To me that is why r7's are head and heels above anything in the industry right now

MP-33 hands down. Titleist hasnt had a lot of technological contributions to golf club technology in a while. However-Titleist does make the best quality and most durable clubs possibly in the world. The 695 mb's are nowhere near as soft as the mizuno mp 33. The best part about the mizuno's are the feel of the clubs.

Have you noticed a trend on the PGA TOUR. Driver sizes in bags are going down. One such pro doing this is briny baird. I have contemplated switching driver head size dramatically..Heres an interesting article for you guys to read... http://www.golfdigest.com/golfworld/...081003johnson2

TourStage blades

No problem- I hammer lead tape onto my vokey design 56..By doing this--i have created a wedge that will dig more- and be prone to sidespin of the ball. With a putter like yours-weight has been distributed around the perimeter--so if you would add 30 grams it would have to covered in tape around the edges. I would not recommend this-but seeing that you have arrived at your decision--it is a very wise one-instead of adding lead tape
