  1. For me, its quality, performance and looks. Ive tried just about everything but I always come back to Mizuno because theres nothing like them.
  2. Im not a fan of the MPF because it makes no sense.
  3. For me, its a Mizuno brass putter from Japan. I think that I payed like $20 for it off of Ebay but it feels better than any $300 putter.
  4. I never take a full swing with my wedges. Wedges are all about control, not power; so I take a little off it for more control.
  5. I personally use a cart bag but really either will work.
  6. If youre not going to use all 5 keys, whats the point? Personally, I dont think you need ANY of the keys to enjoy the game. 5SK is fine if it works for you but its not as if no one enjoyed playing golf before it came along and theres plenty of very good golfers out there who dont subscribe to the 5SK system.
  7. Me, myself and I. I work nights, so most of my rounds are played as a single.
  8. If you have to ask whether or not you should be hitting blades, you shouldnt be hitting blades.
  9. Ive bought a couple clubs off of Ebay that had them and I wasnt a fan. For me, they were too soft. They almost had a spongy feel. Not a fan.
  10. Bullseye.
  11. Overconfidence can be a problem, especially if you think that you can pull off hero shots all the time. I'll admit that Im guilty of seeing a small gap in the trees and thinking I can fit my shot through it. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.
  12. I personally dont but I do know some people who are diehard Titleist guys and always tee up their ball with the Pro V1 logo up because they claim it makes them feel more confident knowing they are playing what they claim is the best ball in golf. I always kind of laugh and roll my eyes at that but hey, whatever works.
  13. I dont use iron covers. Unless they are painted, I really dont see the point.
  14. Ive had a couple of them in the non-Fasttrack version. Theyre a nice driver. Straight and fairly long if you had a solid swing. They arent really a driver for a high-handicapper or slow swinger though because they are designed for a slightly lower launch and have a slightly smaller head. I got rid of mine simply because I wasnt consistent enough with it. When you hit it solid, the ball launched like it was shot of out a cannon but when I missed the center of the face, you never knew where the ball might land.
  15. Close call but Im going Blair. IMO, her face is prettier. Blair is just so hot that its almost unfair that God made a woman who looks like that because I dont think any man could say no to her.
  16. Id love to see a PGA Tour event played at Whistling Straits in January. The Open Championship? Meh. Those Brits dont know what cold weather is.
  17. Youre probably chunking it and hitting too much of the ice on your slap shots.
  18. If you putt with a slight arc (because theres no such thing as true SBST), a blade really isnt the best for you, unless its center-shaft because my its very nature, a blade wants to open and close through the stroke.
  19. I personally prefer blade style wedges because its easier to open up the face and hit various shots around the green with them. Theres nothing wrong with getting wedges that match your irons but I feel like you give something up in terms of shotmaking and options around the green.
  20. Personally, I always found it harder to putt with a mallet on short putts because theres less feel. I always had the tendency to hit the putt too hard and either knock it through the break or 10 feet past the hole.
  21. Offset helps you to hit the ball higher and gives you more time to close the face. IMO, most people would benefit from offset, unless you hit the ball too high and your miss is a pull or hook.
  22. Im a believer in using many clubs to chip with. You can do it with 1 club but IMO, it takes more practice to be consistent with it. As for the idea of getting a Niblick, Im fine with using a chipper if it helps you but instead of blowing $100+ on a hyped up chipper, just save yourself some money and buy a cheap one for $20. The Niblick doesnt do anything that any other chipper cant do.
  23. Playstation. This time of year Im up to my elbows in Gran Turismo.
  24. Ha ha. The overrated Buckeyes choked again.
  25. Why would you take your dog with you play golf? It seems like it would just slow down play and be annoying. Dogs are great but theres some places they dont belong and the golf course is one of them.
