  1. Looks like a tricked up Tour Edge T-balance to me.
  2. Lots of pros are starting to use the Cobra Baffler. Haven't gotten to hit it yet, but there's got to be a reason. I've got experience with the Nickent 3dx and the TM Dual TP. I've picked the Taylor Made. I agree, though, that the Nickent was a good club and maybe the Tour version would have worked better for me. I turned the standard offering over too much. Adjusting the weights to fade in the TM has straightened out my ball flight with the hybrid.
  3. My mother recently got a Nancy Lopez set that she seems to be liking. And Adams makes some nice looking clubs geared specifically for women. Giving your mom a lesson coupon is a great idea, too - finding the right teacher is the tough part.
  4. Yeah to say Ryan Moore has "no chance" or doesn't have "what it takes" seems a little off base. This guy's an NCAA, US Am and Publinks champ. He's got the chops to make a living playing pro and maybe even be a champ.
  5. I think it was called the "Stand Up Putter". We had a guy in our group that used it - he was a terrible putter. We called it the Bat Wing. I agree it was pretty dumb.
  6. Lag putting is definitely more about feel than technique. I usually spend 5 or 10 minutes on the putting green before a round hitting long putts of various lengths to get the feel for lags. I try to keep my head down on these putts to really cement the feel and the size of the swing needed for the different lengths. The alternative is to take Harvey Penick's advice and just hit it closer with your irons :) .
  7. Had a 2-under 38-32-70 yesterday - my first under par round of 2006. Also had my shot of the year so far - on the 1st (my tenth since we started on 10), par 5, drove it a little left and got behind a pine; punched a 4-iron to 120 and holed out with a gap wedge for eagle. Pretty sweet, backed up about 8 feet into the jar.
  8. She's as American as apple pie and Chevrolet. The easy way to tell is to count the number of times she says "like" or "you know" during interviews.
  9. I got every club in my bag off eBay and have been buying and selling clubs there for the last 6 or 7 years. It's a great resource. Look at a seller's feedback and be sure you pay using Paypal and using a credit card. This gives you double protection in case of some a-hole. I've got over 150 eBay transactions, mostly golf clubs, and have only been ripped off once. And that was me being stupid - the guy had a few negatives in his past but most were older so I trusted his recent feedback.
  10. Based on what you say in your post, it sounds like the driver you've picked would be a fine start. If you hit your wedge 140, then my guess is you'd be hitting an R-flex driver all over the place.
  11. I'm always stunned by what people pay for these pre-release clubs. You can get a 904 on ebay for $100 - the 906 could not possibly be 10 times or even twice as good as the 904, especially for the average player.
  12. I'm wearing Classic Dry Premiers right now but am getting ready to switch to the Adidas Tour 360's. They feel more comfortable out of the box and a touring pro I play with says they are the best shoes he's ever worn. If it turns out they suck I'll post about it. But it seems like they have all they same features as the FJ Classics and then some. As for the new rubber soles on the Classics, I think you probably get a benefit of a lighter shoe and better traction, but I agree that the reduction in quality from the leather soles should get you a reduction in price as well - the new Classics seem very similar to DryJoys with upgraded upper styling. ps - lol at the Classics having wooden soles.
  13. Don't pay $150 for a 503h, I can tell you that much. There is no demand for this club on ebay so if you want another you can get it there very cheap.
  14. Count me in the group that thinks Pine Needles and #2 are two of the best tracks on the planet and courses like Tobacco Road are sideshows. I don't really care for any course that you NEED a book in order to play - I love the older courses that just say "Here I am, give it your best shot."
  15. So the course I play regularly here on the coast has very little elevation change throughout, so I never have to deal with it. But I've got a couple of qualifiers coming up that I know are on more hilly terrain. Anybody got any rules of thumb for how to club up or down when the green is significantly higher or lower than where you're hitting from?
