I went from 240 to 200... my swing changed. Now I fight the shanks... ever few balls it shoots straight off the hosel. From what I can see... I'm coming through much quicker and the club isnt closing. I've adjusted to a more relaxed transition and it seems to help... it looks like I have lost about a half a club distance though.

Could very well be one of the creepiest threads ever... and I still voted.

This one was great. 2 Gold Stars!

Mizuno would be my first choice... Callaway would be my second.

Iomic Sticky's.... they are pricey as stated compared to other types but well worth it. I got mine from fusiongrips.com... standard pricing but best selection, free shipping and a rewards program.

Come on Erik, What do you expect Mitsubishi and Grafalloy to say? When you say that a co-engineered shaft is virtually the same, I agree, but only in paint scheme. In order to change the torque or kick point of a shaft, you have to have a completely new "recipe" and make up to create that shaft. More than likely, a variation of materials used for said blueprint to achieve the desired "tweak" as you put it. That in itself puts the "co-engineered" shaft into a name of its own and totally separate of the "after-market" shaft. Is a blue board co-engineered by titleist a blue board... sure, in name only. Purely speculative on your part, but what do you think a company that doesn't "co-engineer" shafts for club manufacturers, would say on this topic? It's going to be completely contrary to what you stated. I know, because I have spoken to a couple. So, you have two sides with two conflicting statements. Which one is true? Probably neither, the truth lies somewhere in the middle I would assume. Put an after market Kha'li on a launch monitor against a "co-engineered" Kha'li. Pay attention to the dispersion and spin rates... it tells a story in itself.

You do realize they were 3000 ft above sea level dont you?

Disagree.

Enis on this forum swears by them. If you are looking for an Iomic comparative... they are much more firm.

Legacy, Sarasota National, Stoneybrook @ Heritage Harbor, and Waterlefe. I'm sure there are more but those are my favorite in the area.

Did you expect a $3 grip to come completely clean? The materials used in those grips are so sub-standard it's ridiculous.

They are all enrolled and attending class so none of them have "skirted" the punishment. If they were going pro, they wouldnt be in school right now. As for people saying they should get a stipend... I'm pretty sure they already do... in lieu of a 100K scholarship. As for the suspensions... This isn't comparable to AJ Green because he sold to a person that was deemed an agent... a far more egregious action. The NCAA, from what I have read does not have the power, according to their rules, to suspend people for bowl games. Only institutions can do so for grades, disciplinary, etc. Ohio State could have taken it upon themselves to suspend them but then they would be going against the NCAA ruling thus nullifying and kind of appeal.

Oregon is a fraud... This is the same crap we heard last year... then they got pasted by Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. They could probably trade punches with Auburn but would get smacked around by Bama, Wisconsin, and LSU... not to mention Ohio State... again... because those teams can control the clock and pace of the game with something called defense.

Tell that to my XCG driver that they refused to replace for denting it while hitting off the deck.

Keep your elbow tight to your body during the entire swing. Put a glove or headcover underneath your armpit and hold it there throughout. This will teach you to stay compact and not allow your elbow to fly. Also... the reason DJ maintains his lag so long and brings his elbow in so far is because of his extreme bowed wrist at the top. The more closed your face is at the top... the more you have to hold on and come from the inside on the downswing.

Maybe someday people will realize a top end shaft fitted for your swing does far more for performance than the most recent $300 driver.

I like my XCG 3 wood so much I bought hybrids too. I switched out the shafts with some Altus shafts though... much better in my opinion.

I have officially seen it all.

I have the Matrix F7M2 in my driver, Altus for my 3&4 hybrids, and HM2 in a 16* hybrid and they are amazing. But, they are only amazing because the characteristics of the shafts match my swing and desired ball flight/spin.

I think you answered you own question.

Just because the clubs were just manufacturered... doesnt mean the grips were. They are more than likely old and starting to dry rot.

Tacki Mac's aren't corded grips.

Is that a Gator fan questioning an Ohio State fan??? Seriously... dont say anything until UF does two things... travel out of state for a non conference game... and get the 1AA teams off your schedule.

GP Cords are good grips but they are complete opposites... cant even compare the two. My cords on my protos wore out in no time. My iomics have lasted two years so far... and they do gain more feel after they are broken in.

Try golfpactravel.com... I've used them a half a dozen times... especially during non-peak. Recently we (2 people) just stayed at the Ritz Naples for four nights with 3 rounds each for $850.00 total.
