  1. The Callaway X460 is now only $149 at every store around here and lots in stock.... that's a steal in my book.
  2. Yes there are reps from the manufacturer there. This particular demo day had Nike, Callaway, Cleveland, Taylor Made, Callaway, and Cobra there (yep it was sweet). Every manufacturer had every club in every shaft. It was ridiculously cool. I probably hit 15-20 clubs, 200 balls, and had a lot of advice how to fix my slice. But the HyperX 460 stole it for me.... followed by the Ping G10 and then the Burner Tour.
  3. FYI -- went to a demo day today and the TM rep told me that the Superquad is "no longer being made" and has been replaced by the Tour Burner.
  4. Tried at least 15 combinations of drivers.... By a landslide I hit the Callaway HyperX Tour 8.5 360 Fit on Stiff the best.... 300 straight 8/10 times. Was slicing/fading every other club I hit. I think it's the shaft. The club head was extremely forgiving. Now I just need to find someone who has it in an 8.5.
  5. Well, explain this. My 1 iron is consistently down the middle and 230-250 yards. My driver is extremely inconsistent and all too much a fairway over. Yep I hit my 1 iron better than my driver (straighter)
  6. Actually I think it was $189 or $199 now that I think of it. I think the R7 draw was $139.
  7. Current prices at my local shop... Burner: $299 SuperQuad R7: $279 Burner Draw: $199 R7 460: $149 I do tend to slice / fade. With all the hype on these is the Superquad that much better than the R7 460?
  8. I have to wonder what about X Stiff? I had a drive 320 last time out.... I'm 6'4" 270... like to punish it.
  9. I'm eyeing the burner draw at $199 also. I'm a little hesitant because it just looks SO closed at address...
  10. Just curious how many of you have actually improved your game by purchasing a new putter?
  11. I have a pretty fast swing speed, about 105-115. Drives average between 270 and 320. I'm in the market for a new driver and am really confused at all the shaft options out there. I slice a decent amount (inconsistent though) so combined with my swing speed I'm thinking I need a stiff shaft. Can someone help me out in picking a shaft? What is confusing is the number of stiff shafts out there even stock. For example: Callaway X460 - I've seen them configured with the following shafts: Callaway Fujikura Fujikura Tour Platfo Grafalloy Prolaunch Aldila NV Green (65-S) Aldila NVS (65-S) So this is just one club with 5 different stiff shafts to pick from at the same price point. Also should I be looking at an X-Stiff instead of regular stiff? What's all this high kick low kick stuff about too?
  12. I wanted to add it is strictly an off-the tee club. I never try it from the fairway.
  13. I have trouble getting rid of this club. My 1 iron is the only club in my bag that I hit consistently straight off the tee.
  14. That's a bummer -- I would be pissed if I paid $400 ish for a club and it's done after 3 years.
  15. I have a full set of Mizuno Comp EZ Pro 1-9 PW, FW, SW. My 1 iron of the tee is consistently one of my best clubs. Does anyone else have this experience? I thought the 1 iron was very hard to hit?
  16. This is what the sales guy said when I returned it -- thought it was epoxy or something. Still, it shouldn't do this...
  17. You mean buy a Callaway head and do the components separate? Where would I purchase these components?
  18. I assure you this is not in my head. There is something that breaks off inside the club and it makes a rattle when you shake it. My 2 year old was starting to think it was a toy.
  19. Hi all, I'm new here -- looks like a neat place... I've been a long time fan of Callaway for my woods only (play Mizunos for my irons which work out well for me). Anyway I had something very strange happen recently. Bought a new Callaway X460 driver (9 degree stiff). First time out after about 5 hits it started sounding funny and there was a rattle inside of it when you shake the club. This was the day before a golf trip to Scottsdale. Took it back that night and swapped it out for another one, figured it was just a defective one. After a few rounds with the SECOND new driver the same thing happened again. A rattle when you shake the club and it sound funny when you hit it. I just took it back and got my money back. I am totally baffled that this happened twice in a row within 2 weeks of each other. The price dropped to $150 at a local store for the same club and as pissed off as I am at Callaway right now, I'm actually still considering it at that price point. Basically I'm looking for the best driver I can get for $200 or under. $250 and up just gets too pricey for me for a single club that I tend to slice anyway. Anyway, has this happened to anyone else with their Callaway driver? Is this a consistent problem with their quality control (where has it gone)? I'm skeptical to give them another shot after this madness. Should I look at another brand?
  20. Growing up it was this... http://www.riverwoodresort.com/ Don't really have a "home course" anymore now that I moved
