Is this still available? Would love pics.

Yea I live about 5 minutes from there - but didn't want to be evaluated to just one brand of clubs.

I just purchased a set of MP-57 from Ebay but as they said you just got to make sure you do your homework. I saved myself $500.00 from buying a new set - so now I have more money to work with for a Driver and a Putter. But I did have a friend who ordered a Driver from online (not Ebay) and it turned out to be counterfeit. *The person who was selling the MP-57 was selling it because he bought some Burner 2.0* Whats the deal with the Burner 2.0? I did a test swing of the Burner 2.0 and it just seems to fly too much - like it is 1-2 club more than normal. Or am I wrong? I felt no response from it at all - The guy said that the Burner 2.0 was the number 1 selling set of clubs - I was not going to spend $699.99 for a new set of irons. :/

Stopped by the other day and not much in the store - nice folks. Kind of hard to say -

Anyone know of a good fitter in Houston, Texas? Want to get fitted for my next set of clubs - Would Swanson be a good spot? Any other suggestions or feedbacks?

Is there really that much of a difference between the 9.5 degrees and the 10.5 degrees? With 9.5 you get more roll correct? And the 10.5 you get a bit of a higher launch and etc. Am I correct? Right now Im hitting a 9.5 but Im starting to wonder if I should be hitting 10.5. I'm probably going to get myself fitted for a driver sometime soon to ensure Im gettin the best out of the driver. But just wanted some inputs on the degrees. Thanks!

Two at this time 1. Taylormade Burner XD - which my wife got me for Xmas last year 2. Ping i10

I have tried Pinnacle and I hated them... Some people might like them - but personally I am not a fan of Pinnacle - usually down here they sell these Pinnacle cheap at the Pro Shop. Umm their prices are pretty good... Thanks! But I do agree the Percept Laddies are solid.

Same here - my wife wonders why I have all those clubs/sets/bags in the garage (Got old clubs from the tme I started playing golf) Now I start making a habit of just keeping one set. Right now I have two but one of them is going to go. Cuz I need some new/nice Wedges. But I tell her sometime - its like you with shoes, you can never have too many shoes - just like I can never have too many golf toys. :)

My brother in law has the Tiger Woods for Wii - I have a Wii but I wont touch it and I just got the XBOX 360 version of it. Was afraid it was gonna mess me up! Now i wonder how my brother in law will do the next time I play him a round. :)

Well I went out today and hit both the Pings and the Burner XD today - it is definitely different. XD is more forgiving and as well has a higher trajectory. I do like the feel of th XD so it isn't really that bad. Granted the XD is not as pretty as the Pings at set up - but heck it is the score I am after not necessarily on how pretty it is. But I do find the XD easier to hit at this time. Thanks for your input though!

Can anyone give me a brief assessment on the Burner XD? Is this particular iron for mid-high handicap folks? Is it too forgiving where you won't really pick up on the game? I am currently hitting Ping i10's but I got at a set of Burner XD from my wife for Xmas. Two years ago I played maybe 50 rounds, last year I only played about 5. But this year I see myself back to about 50 rounds again - kind of though about playing with the Burner XD til I get my game back and then go back to my Ping i10. Or am I just being too irrational? I was shootin in the low 90's 2 years ago - the past few months I have been shooting over 100's. :( So just trying to get my game back down to the low 90's and high 80's and work it back down lower. Or just hang on to both - and use both - but if I do would this affect my game play? (Since the TM looks about 1/2" longer than the Ping) Thank you!

I would think you would be able to - if that is where she got them. As long as it looks brand new and has never been used I wouldn't see why they wouldnt exchange it for the same product but different flex. Its not like there is a price difference between the two.

2010 Goals - - Start getting back to playing more (Went from playing about 25-36 rounds in 2008 to about 6 in 2009) - Start working my game back and improving my game - take the game a bit more seriously - Drop my handicap down *its probably in the 25's now since lack of practice/playing time* to about the 10's to 15's - Practice at the driving range at least once a week

This is a great application/software.... Definitely will utilize this in 2010 - and I like the print functionality of the scorecard. Keep up the great work!

I have the Rife and I love it - I have putted with the Scotty, but both are very close to each other. But to save the $ in your pocket the Rife was the one for me and I dont regret that decision one bit.

Its a standard black dot stiff shaft.

Yes, at this time I am unable to get out and practice/play as much as I would like. Don't get me wrong, the i10's are nice clubs but you gotta be pretty consistent to really enjoy playing these. And at this time, I get really busy and I don't have the time to run and practice or etc as I would like to really effectively benefit from the i10's. So yes, I was just kind of looking around for an opportunity for more forgiveness. Just lookin into options.

Are the G5 really not that much of a difference from the G10? I am hitting i10's and I'm realizing that I should have gone the G10 route rather than the i10 route. I'm kinda looking around as well for either the G5 or G10 as well.

Can I get some input on the thoughts of the Ping putters - the blades specifically aka like the Anser blades or the Karsten (whats the difference between the two anyways). Right now Im using an Oddessy 2 Ball Putter - but a buddy of mine had a Ping putter blade and it felt really sweet. Felt like I had more control - so just wanted some inputs. I saw the Karsten was like 90 bucks and the i-series Ansers were like 120 bucks. But have read reviews how some say that the Karsten is good? Inputs and thoughts?

Will be 38 in October - tried the game in my early 20's quit to play ball. Then injured my knee two years in a row then quit playing ball and then 2 years ago started playing golf again. Wished I had never quit in my 20's.

Ping i10 3-PW Cleveland 588 56 degree Wedge

I'm looking into getting a new set of clubs - and was wondering if anyone has any comments pros/cons of getting club fitting at Golfsmith or do you recommend that it is done elsewhere. Just wanted to see some people's experiences if any. Thanks!

I have tried this ball - I'm a Percept fan myself or Bridgestone that is - since they are made by the same company. This ball came off nicely for me off the tee - but when it came to the irons I kept finding myself a bit short. Personally I prefer the Percept U-Tri. I got more control and distance with these than the Laddies X. But the Laddie X was better priced. But truth be told it really isn't a bad ball - it is a nice ball.
