You either need to contact mizuno directly or go back to where you bought it and see if they will replace it. How badly did you hit the ground? How long have you had it for?

I never really paid any attention to what ball I used until I found a ball in the bush that I really liked. It seemed to go straighter, longer, spin more, and just feel better to hit in general. After a few holes I looked the ball over to find out what it was. Of course it was a Pro V1. I ended up losing it in the water after playing 9 holes with it. That was about a week ago. Now I got a dozen used pro v1’s on there way to my house so I can play a few rounds with them and see it they really make a difference.

I own and use the 695 CB's and I love them. Everyone's saying that the new AP1 and AP2's are also great so you might want to try those.

You should be able to get the 5 wood a lot higher into the air, for better or worse. At least this is the case for me. I also find the 5 wood a lot more reliable then a 2 iron.

Does anyone use used/refurbished prov1's like these ? Are they just as good as new ones? My second question would be how do you refurbish a golf ball?

I have the titleist 695 cb's and I love them. I would suggest giving them a try. Otherwise go with the Taylor Made RAC MB TP becuase you liked them best.

I upgraded from my old clubs to titteist 695 CB's and I love them. They're not blades but they are pretty close and give me just as much feedback on my shots. I can ussually tell what went wrong in my swing instantly. Fixing that is anouther story... but I find they are really helping me. I say go for the MP-67's!

I shouldn't have any problem attempting this with my titleist 695 CB's. Now that I know what a knock down shot is I can say I've attempted it a few time to get under trees. I find the hardest part getting the ball on line. It seams to always come off the club going left or right. I suppose I need to practice this shot first.

Stupid question but what’s a knock down shot and how do you do it? Is it simply putting the ball back in your stance and creating a lower trajectory? Second question, why would ever want to play a knock down shot? When whould it help me?

Taylormade R7 Quad: $125 Taylormade R7 5 wood: $90 Titleist 695 CB 3-PW: $460 Titleist SM Vokey 54*: $90 Crappy Putter: $15 Total: $780 All brand new, most off Ebay so shipping was probably another $100 total. Not to bad if you ask me. I'm very happy with every club I've purchased, besides the putter.

I don't know a lot about rifle manufacturing so I assume you’re correct. My main point was that they’re for a completely different application, and should not be compared to a golf club.

I guess its because most people hit slices, so the draw clubs are a lot more popular.

My two cents, As an engineer I can say that the type of material used is just important then the method of production. I'm not up to date on golf club materials but there are hundreds of types of steels alone, each one having slightly different strength and fatigue characteristics. Having said that, different methods of production can change these properties even further. Cast vs Forged is only a small part of the big picture in my mind. There are so many other factors that can change the feel and durability of a club. As for comparing a golf club to a rifle, different materials, different use, different thicknesses. I could go on and on. I believe it's more cost effective to cast a gun then to forge it. Really the heat treatments, materials and quality of production are far more important. The moral of the story is casting and forging are capable of the same products when done correctly. I believe that since it is much easier to make a low quality casting then it is to make a low quality forging, people give it a bad name. Now go play some golf!

Would you guys buy the Nickent 4dx tour: http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-RH-NICKENT-4D...QQcmdZViewItem or the Taylormade R7: http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...m=220247970215 I've narrowed it down to those two.

Sounds good, it looks like a good price for a good driver. I tried a buddies r7, didn't fit right (he's short) but felt pretty pretty good.
