When I bought the Stage 2, I also hit a Callaway, a Nike VR-S and a TaylorMade SuperFast 2.0. The Stage 2 was the one I hit the best. Maybe I'll just take it to the range tomorrow and try to work some kinks out before dropping money on a new shaft or a new driver.

Who knows, I might even end up trading the thing in for a different club. I was thinking of taking a stiff-shafted driver off of the pre-owned rack and seeing what it felt like compared to the regular shaft as well. Is having stiff irons and a regular driver that big of a deal? Or is it just in my head?

I'll have to call and see if Golf Galaxy will roll the cost of the fitting and installation into the purchase price of the shaft. Thanks.

I have a TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 driver with a regular-flex shaft and after changing my irons to a stiff shaft due to my swing speed, the driver is now too "whippy" and I'm beating the ball into the ground. I went to Golf Galaxy today (GG and Dick's are my only options) and looked at their stiff, low kick-point driver shafts since I want to get more loft and spin on my drives. The rep said that they would have to schedule me for a driver fitting ($29.99) and find the shaft for me thereafter. My question is is this really necessary? I was looking at shafts and the one I picked out based on what I was looking to do (UST Mamiya 65) looked like a good fit. I'm only a "twice a month" player so is it really necessary to go through and pay for the fitting? Thanks.

What exactly do you "despise" about TaylorMade?

Bought a pair of adidas Tech Response from Golf Galaxy for $59.99. Best golf shoes I've ever bought. Really light, breathable and the spikes dig in.

Lame jokes aside, I just hope that this lets Tiger, Sergio and the rest of the golf world move on. Golf "feuds" are pretty dumb anyways, especially when one is the #1 golfer in the world and the other is a headcase in pink pants.

Maybe if he wins The Open Championship, Her Majesty will see fit to knight him.

Just OBed himself out of contention?

Poor Phil. Golf Channel is just replaying all his "bridesmaid" moments at the National Championship.

I prefer to think of them more as "training wheel" clubs than "bunny slopes".

Those Adizeroes look like aerating sandals.

Haha, I didn't think of the UK "no one cares about baseball" barrier. But if I'm Pablo Sandoval, I'm carrying a panda headcover.

We might have a winner...

Are you Pablo Sandoval?

Bring back kilties! I imagine that if Rickie were wearing them one week, Puma would be flooded with orders.

No rivalry at all. Best of luck to you in the Finals. We'll always have 1992... Yeah, that one hurt. Here are some options, from Etsy.

I thought that they already were banned...

That's not very nice.

Well, you tried.

I'm a big Star Wars geek so maybe a Darth Vader or Stormtrooper? Big hockey fan as well, so this doesn't look too bad:

Bridgestone E6. It was my first "real" ball (i.e. paid for them at Golf Galaxy) and they're amazing at cutting down on spin. Now I've graduated, so to speak, to a Srixon QStar in Tour Yellow. It holds greens a bit better than an E6.

Thinking of putting a fun headcover on my driver. The black and bright yellow of the RBZ Stage 2 doesn't really "go" with the red, white and blue of everything else in my bag.

I like the idea of putting the distances on the shaft of your clubs. Good thought.

What's stopping you from looking at the RBZ line of clubs? The RBZ irons are red-hot and I prefer the shape of the driver head on the RBZ to the Burner. All personal preference, of course but you could probably get a good price on some RBZ irons.
