These past few rounds have been finding me relying heavily on my new 5 wood. It's only been in the bag a short period but it's fast becoming my favorite stick. Hopefully it will persuade the others to be more tolerant of my lacking skills. You can see from the sole wear that it's been well used. I needed a go-to club for 190-215...this is working well.

You've got to go with the set that inspires confidence and works best for you. You can sell your G5's to soften the blow or order some G5 wedges ($60 each) to match your set. I personally love mine more than the Vokeys, Clevelands and Bridgestone wedges I've tried. I realize that goes against the grain of what most on here would say.

I ruled out plasma due to the high ambiant light levels and glare that exhist in my den. We like bright sunlight in our rooms and dont want to compromise that. That being said...I passed on some unreal deals on larger plasma tv sets. It hurt to do so. I've always wanted a Sony so I gave them a hard look. We zeroed in on a 52" Sony Bravia 120 hz and been highly pleased with it. The Sony operating system enhances the image quality of images less than 1080p...and brings them up to a close quality....1080i. It also adjusts continuously for ambiant lighting levels. It's been a perfect fit for us. I've been very pleased with all the Sony gear we have (HD tv, PS3, PSP, 2 recievers, dvd player) Buy as big as you can and spring for a BluRay player also. Make sure you are getting HD cable or direct tv. We also bought a surround system at the same time. Outstanding viewing of sporting events. My son and I are thouroughly enjoying the NBA playoffs. Can't wait for NCAA football!!!!

I agree. Watching the Masters this year on my new HD set was a super golf experience. Football on HD is pretty awesome, too. I'm in no hurry to do anything beyond HD for the forseeable future. My parents recently visited and I was laughing all week at their reaction....Dad was picking out what ball the players were using....Mom was laughing at the make-up bleminshes uncovered by the HD broadcasts.

Take the equipment out of it as golfers of each era are playing against the field who are similarly equiped. I think the talent would prevail from any era to any other given an acclimation period with the gear. It would be interesting to see our modern champs duel it out on a classic venue using early gear on Thursday from the late 1800's, Friday from the 1930's, Saturday from the 1970's and Sunday with their modern gear.

I agree. Such a shame but outstanding display of sportsmanship.

I also went from a non-offset "players" iron to the G5. I enjoy the offset, though. I find that I get the best results when I set up with a small amount of forward shaft lean. It is a large visual difference at address, though. I can fully understand your struggle to get accustomed to it. Like others have said, maybe the I series is your stick.

I've used the one in my sig line for the last two years. It works really well...opens up for use in less than 15 seconds...no kidding. It's easy to push. It's a very substantial piece of gear...solid and sturdy. I was initially concerned with the weight when I hefted the box in the store, but it's proven to be nothing objectionable on the course. I thing that Sun Mountain now makes a four wheel version very simular...haven't tried one but it is even lighter. I commend your walking and carrying...certainly a tremendous source of excercise. My bum knee has made me lazy and I've been riding almost all the golf I've played the last month or so.

I get that feeling on far too few shots every round...but these rarefied purer shots keep me coming back.

Cool. Hope it goes well with your wife and hope the putter works nicely for you.

11 months since I last replied to this post. My G5 irons are staying in the bag another year or two...the wedges are the best for me of any I've tried. The G10 fairways didn't work for me...nor did the hybrid. I am longing for my G10 head back again so I can try different shafts. It was the best driver head I've used.

In very general terms I'd say those yardages would best be covered by a regular flex. Best to try a couple and see for yourself.

There diffent weights available in stff flex. I'm sure his pro mated him with a good fit. The V2 is a stellar shaft with a loyal following.

Did you also try one of the older G10 drivers? I'd love to hear opinions between the two.

I never leave them in the car for more than a few minutes...like if I'm shopping on the way home from the course. I had a driver head come off due to that heat.

My new track has much more firm faiways than I'm used to. Good grass, just much more firm. Descending blow with all clubs except driver. I tee my driver lower and get more roll out. Some guys there even switched drivers to drop to less loft.

Looks real to me. The stock cover has grown on me over this past 1.5 years. The stock grip is the best I've ever used.

I use the ones they come with.

Yes but not when chipping and putting.

Wonder if he's been spitting in any more cups lately. Some perverse side of my psyche takes great pleasure from his poor play. Sort of like watching a bratty child punished. I also felt the same way watching Tiger give his interview on 18 last Sunday...the game sort of spanked him a bit. Phil's swashbucking victory must be a bitter pill for young Eldrick.

Double sided tape & solvent is the only way I'll do it.

G2 is an outstanding stick!!!!! The biggest growth has been in the shafts. There may be a new shaft that'd work better for you.

Annual grip changes are good. You can stretch that a bit with corded grips. The cords on my iron & wedges are now 12 months old and I'll most likely change them to GPride NDMC before this summer.

It does sound as if you have the fever for new gear. I can only sympathize as I've been bitten by that bug before as well. Good luck!!!!

Yup...same here. Nothing to it and a cold beer after a fun round is always a good thing.
