I never was brand loyal...I usually would try to have a similar Driver and 3 wood, and similar irons and wedges, but now I'm loyal to Taylormade, have been for about 2 1/2 years....they just seem to fit my game, the entire set I'm using right now probably won't change for a while...I've finally got everything how I want it fitted and set up. I may switch back to a Scotty Cameron putter though. The itsy bitsy monza spider is the best putter I've personally used on smooth fast greens, but on bumpy or slower greens, I put better with my cameron...

I need your help on Proj X shafts!!
Batmanrb89 replied to Laxplayer201092's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
If you can get the right fitting with these shafts (Project X's), they'll change your game for sure. I've always played DG S300's, DG X100's and Rifle 6.0 and 6.5's. I got fitted for these shafts by more than one person, and I actually was better off with the 5.5 flex beleive it or not...And you cannot base what you read from other people on your purchase of these shafts or any others. Everybodys swing is different, get fitted, and try as many shafts as you can. Switching to these shafts I actually hit the ball lower and flatter, but have gained spin......Odd I know... -
He's still in it, but as much as I'd like to see him win it for the history books, I don't think he will. Perry stays strong once he gets at the top, Campbell will fall back 6 shots, Phil will choke today, then go low Sunday (or vice versa) and finish 2 back, Furyk will probably finish 3rd, Sergio has an outside chance, but has to keep the putting strong, oh, and watch out for Vijay and Padraig, last I checked, Padraig was pretty angered about the 1 stroke penalty from the wind on the green, and Vijay is Vijay. I'll still pull for Tiger, but we shall see....It's shaping up to be a good one though, finally....Last year and the year before kind of blew...

Black golfers question whether Tiger should do more for his race?

The course I learned on shut down a few months ago also, upsetting.... -

Here's the truth, and I'll leave it at that... Earl, a retired United States Army lieutenant colonel and Vietnam War veteran, was of mixed African American (50 percent), Chinese (25 percent) and Native American (25 percent) ancestry. Kultida (née Punsawad), originally from Thailand, is of mixed Thai (50 percent), Chinese (25 percent), and Dutch (25 percent) ancestry. This makes Woods himself one-quarter Chinese, one-quarter Thai, one-quarter African American, one-eighth Native American, and one-eighth Dutch. [11] He refers to his ethnic make-up as “Cablinasian” (a portmanteau he coined from Caucasian, Black, (American) Indian, and Asian). So where in here does it say that he's 100 % African American, I have nothing against anybody, but c'mon already. He's the first Black Golfer to do all of these things???? Why isn't he the first Asian Golfer to do all of these things???? Let these guys play golf and compete already, enough with the "Build up" to every tournament Tiger and Phil enters. They don't need "Hype", if they did, Don King would be a Golf Promoter. Side note: I can personally say this because I have met Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, they are too very pleasant people to be around, and aren't even close to the public persona that they have been tagged with. -
I like this ball alot, not very durable if you're an attacker, but I got tremendous amounts of spin on the ball. The first course I played on with it was TPC Louisiana and I thought it actually spun too much. (Can't believe I said that). If you're not worried about distance, I'd say go for it, the new pro V1 is just as good as the old one, it all comes down to preference and placebo effect

Project X or other flighted shafts vs Dynamic Golds
Batmanrb89 replied to tim31x's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I am currently using the project x shaft in all of my irons. I'm confident in saying that I will not switch back to dynamic golds or flighted rifles unless the usga magically bans project x shafts. I love them. here is a quick breakdown of the s300's, rifles, flighted rifles, and project x's. TT Dynamic Gold S300 - mid to low flight, stiffer in the shorter irons, but constant weight through-out Precision Rifle 6.5 - High flight, consistant flex throughout set, harsh on mis-hits Precision Flighted Rifle 6.0 - high flight in long irons, low flight in short irons, not meant for all club heads.example, would not recomend putting thme into clubs that are designed to help your game AKA game improvement irons because they generally are alrady designed for high flight long irons and mid to low flight short irons. Precision Project X 5.5 - Consistant flight troughout set, launch high but not balloon, flattens out, zero distance loss, if any some gained. Oddly, these shafts apparently are to reduce spin on your shots, but I spin the hell out of them, but I can control it, which is nice. -
TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons
Batmanrb89 replied to RichF's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I own these irons with Project X shafts. I love them. This is not me saying they are the best irons out there; this is me saying that for me, they are the best irons out there. Appearance from address, and feel, I'd put them at the top of the class with any forged Iron from Mizuno. This is just an opinion; I'm not looking to start a controversy with people who think they are ugly. -
Tiger.....20 majors, 100 wins, nice round numbers....will he do it? And if he does, will anybody catch him in this lifetime? I was having this discuccion with some work buddies and it was actually a very amusing topic to discuss. Please share your comments and thoughts on this topic.

Diamana Whiteboard Driver Shaft questions
Batmanrb89 replied to Batmanrb89's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I would like to hit the ball lower. Last time I had my swing looked at on a computer the launch angel was around 14 degrees and th swing speed i beleive averaged from 105 to 120 depending on if i swung smoothly or ripped at it. I've heard that this is the shaft to help keep the ball down will little spin and its good for guys who like to go after it everynow and then. Basically i'd like to know who has hit the shafts and what flexes and weights were they. -
Diamana Whiteboard Driver Shaft questions
Batmanrb89 posted a topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I'm currently using the stock Diamana White that Taylormae provides in the Tour Burner TP. I'm thinking about reshafting it with the real Diamana Whiteboard shaft. After doing a lot of reading, it seems like its the shaft that fits what I'm looking for. My question is what version.....the 63, 73 or 83??? Who has expreience with these shafts??? Please advise....I don't like a club that feels like a sledge hammer, but I also don't like a club that feels like I'm holding a wiffle bat. I'm torn between the 63 X or the 73 S...... -
Thanks for the assistance guys. My new irons came in today. got the Tour Preferreds with project x 5.5's. They're sweet!!!! Only problem, I don't know if it's the head or the shaft I love more.

I'm interested in getting project X shafts in my new set of irons. I'm ordering them on Monday. I played r7 TP's with S300's, my current set is another set of r7 TP's with flighted rifle 6.0's. I'm ordering the new Tour Preferred's from Taylormade. When my swing is on key I have a very penetrating ball flight. I wouldn't say low, but definatley penetrating. If my swing is a little off generally I hit higher. My problem here is: many people have told me that the project x promotes a low ball flight, and many people have told me it promotes a high ball flight. To my knowledge its a high launching shaft, but has a flattening out effect. I've had guys tell me that tour pros like the shaft because they hit the ball so high that they use the project x to flatten it out and keep it down a little better, others have told me that they use it because they want to hit it even higher....so I'm a little confused. Please advise. I've hit all of the shafts into simulators and they all feel great, but I just dont trust simulators with the flights....I'm limited on time so I can't really find a driving range that has a bunch of demos to try. and it's pretty cold out. But I don't want to miss this opportunity to order them because I'm getting a dam good price on them...
