  1. Here's a good idea that wasn't mentioned...go onto www.Youtube.com and put in Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Phil Mickelson and search for thier swing. CBS has something called SwingVision that captures thier swings from tournaments, so if you wanna see proper technique from the pros, its a good start to how your legs , arms, and back should be. That's how i study swings and try to incorporate stuff into my swing...
  2. Well, i've been trying out blades for the last 2 months in order to buy a set, and my personal top 3 are as follows: 3.) Titlest 755i 2.) Taylor Made RAC TP/MB 1.) Mizuno MPXX (57 or 60)
  3. Ok, so as of January 3rd, 2007, Jack still holds the crown because of overall wins (82 to 61) and majors won (18 to 12). Im only 28 so i've grown up in the Tiger era, so the assumption is i'd say Tiger. No one in thier right minds can deny who Tiger is, where he stands, or what he's accomplished. Tiger, as it stands statistically, is a top 5 golfer of all time. Everyone is assuming that Tiger will eclipse Jack's numbers, and in the event he does, then we will have a real discussion on our hands. It's too premature to judge who's better until you see their entire body of work. What if Michael would have stopped at his first retirement and winning only 3 championships? Jordan was considered the best at that moment, but what solidified him as the greatest were the additional 3 rings, 3 scoring titles, and 2 MVP's (post retirement number 1). Im a Chicagoan so i'm biased as all hell here, but if Jordan didnt accomplish the second 3 peat, there would be alot more discussion on who's the greatest. Magic Johnson? Larry Bird? Wilt? Bill Russell? Tim Duncan? Jordan cemented his G.O.A.T. status by eclipsing a slew of additional records and putting a stanglehold on the NBA for another 3 years. That's why he's the greatest...because he proved his championship status. Same thing is now being said of Tom Brady (albeit if he wins another Super Bowl). He has the records (touchdowns and undefeated season), but it will all go waste with no championships. Pete Sampras? Martina Navatralova? Pele? Same thing. Point being...barring any forseeable injunction, Tiger is on path of demolishing all records in the forseeable future. 25 majors? 100 plus wins? It's all there for his taking, but it's going to take time. If and when the time comes, no one, not even Tiger himself, will be able to argue against him. So for the time being, Jack is still in the driver's seat of an old classic 67 Chevy strolling down the Pacific Coast with a high speed Ferrari on his tail :)
  4. I have a set of Taylor Made r7 Draw (3-PW) irons with graphite shaft and I have trouble controlling the shots, sometimes pushing or pulling, but not slicing. I took a guess on my handicap based off the teaching pro at the driving range i go to. I generally shoot in the mid to high 80's after this being only my 3rd summer playing golf (I began shooting in the 140's). I find myself having little control in my iron game, so im moving over to steel shafted clubs but since i've considerably gotten better since I started playing golf, which was only three years ago, im moving to forged clubs (my friends think im crazy). I bought some Taylor Made RAC TP/MB forged irons after about 2 months of trying out various clubs because they felt really comfortable. It doesnt bother me that they're 2006 models, as these will be my first go at forged irons and I didnt want to break the bank (I was able to find a set of demo's with barely any noticeable wear for over half off). Are my friends right in that im going to struggle big time? I think I wont because I think my issues are with my short game (pitching from 20 yards in) and putting. I just think if im going to take that next step, that this is the challenge I need. Any thoughts or advice?
  5. Taylor Made r7 draws and Taylor Made RAC TP/MB forged irons (just got them). I got the power, just need the control. Friends think im crazy, but oh well...
