I got new irons this past fall. I went to a course with an out door range and spent a day hitting different clubs. At the time I was playing MP-57s but I needed something more forgiving because I just dont have the time to play a lot anymore. I went with the intention of getting into another set of mizzys. I hit about 15 diff. sets of irons and bought the one set I didnt want to even look at. Thats right I went to the dark side , Taylor made. I am a TM hater, just never liked them. But the burner 2.0 are just incredible, so easy to hit. VERY VERY forgiving in the long irons. The 3 iron is actually fun to hit, heck I didnt even carry a 3 before. Just get fit, it makes such a big difference. I'm 6'2" so I'm about your size and ended up with +1/2" and *2 upright. One more thing, when you go keep an open mind and dont rule out anything. Also do some homework and get an idea of the going prices.

If you go to golfsmith's site they have a how to video thats pretty good. It helps to actually see it done.

Steelhead plus titleist 975 TM 07 burner Hibore xl TM tour burner cobra L4v

I have a TEE cb2 that is an absolute canon. One of my all time favorites is Callaways steelhead plus.

I have a L4Vf and love it, I did have to reshaft it though. The stock shaft was a little "whippy" for me. Its an incredibly forgiving driver and the sound really doesnt bother me at all. Also, look into the TM 07 burners, I have one very easy to hit though not as long as the cobras.

I used to feel the same way you do. I couldnt hit one for the life of me. If I did hit one solid it was a hook. I hated the way they set up at address. I finally found one that is now my favorite club. The Ben Hogan cft, in my opinion its the best kept secret in golf. It sets up perfect and has a nice weight and feel to it. I hit this club straight every time. Best of all you can get these for under $30 on the bay.

You know you have to tell us about the putter now!

I got a set of MP-57s brand new for $400 off of craigslist. I also just scored a new TM tour burner for $99 shipped. I got in on that leaked employee/family code that was %67 off. By the way so did someone else, check the classifieds.

I have been playing Nike slingshot 4dss and hit them great. I recently got a set of mp57s and hit them solid. However, almost every shot with every iron goes left with a slight draw. They have DG s300 shafts in them, could this be part of the problem? Could a different shaft help or is it my swing. I've never had this happen before.

I used to do the same thing, I would stand over the ball way to long thinking about everything but hitting the ball. Now I stand behind the ball get a good grip and focus on where I'm aiming. Take a few practice swings then address the ball and hit. I found that when I was at the range I could do this and have no problems but when I got on the course I tensed up. I was too tight and lost focus. Give it a try, hope it helps.

I have been hit by someone elsea ball though. I was standing in the fairway waiting for the green to clear and my buddy tees off and hits me on the back of my leg. Another time four of us were on the tee box of a par three waiting for the group ahead of us to finish. My one buddy is at the front of the box facing us gently swinging his club as we talk. Then he decides to take a full swing and hits a huge divot at one of the other guys and it busts him in his package. I laughed the rest of the round because the guy that got hit had on white shorts and had a big mud stain on his groin.

I played in a two man scramble and they paired us up with another team at the course. This kid probably 23 or 24 years old about 5'8" and 150 lbs steps up to the tee box first. A quick note its 7:45am and he is still drunk from the night before. The first hole is a 327 yrd par four thats fairly straight witha little bend to the left and the green is about 20 feet elevated. Anyway this kid gets out of the cart grabs his driver and tees up a ball and swings as hard as he could. The ball goes dead straight bounces twice and rolls into the cup. Now he didnt see any of this because he hit and walked off the tee box and sat in the cart. We start yelling and he doesnt believe us. We get to the green and hes looking for his ball and we tell him its in the cup, he thinks we are screwing with him and wont go look in the cup. After about 5 mins we finally get him to look and he goes crazy for about thirty seconds and then stops dead and looks like hes going to puke. I ask him whats wrong he replys "I didnt get into the skins game". The kicker of the thing is someone else eagled the hole for the only skin of the outting. There were 112 golfers $20 per team for skins. Minus the few who choose not to enter the skin was worth $1060.

could someone please tell me the diff. between say 2* up and 2* flat and the benifit of having this. Also can I have my current clubs customised or do you have to order them that way? If anyone is in the Akron,ohio area could you refer me to a good fitter.

Just wondering if anyone has used these. Would like to hear how they compare to the popular wedges out there.

I went to a big tent sale that the local course has every year. They put up like 4 huge tents by their range and let you hit what ever you want. I spent about 4-5 hours over two days hitting clubs. I have always used titleist drivers, always. I decided to try out all the major club makers while I was there. I hit ping,cobra,callaway,cleveland,adams,mizuno,nike, and taylor made. The burner TP was the last club I hit, and I couldnt belive the difference. The first ball I hit came off the face so hot I actually said holly s**t. I could do no wrong with the club. I have never had a club weather it was a wood or an iron or hybrid have that affect on me. Maybe its my swing and club speed and all the other variables just fit this driver perfect. I dont know but its in my bag now. The 3 and 5 woods are also incredible and easy to hit. What I like most about the club, other than it goes straight 275-300 every time, is the sound and solid feel. Some of the drivers had no feel whatsoever and the sounds are just plain anoying. But hey thats my two cents.

I also was blessed with wide dogs. I have a pair of callaways now and I didnt have to get wide shoes with them. They are great, no break in time at all.

Just wondering whos a fan and who your favorite drivers are. I'm a Kasey Kahne fan, dodge all the way. I usually go to the fall race at Lowes motorspeedway. Three days of tailgating. The best part is you can take your own cooler of beer into the race. So lets hear from the fans out there. I'd like to get a thread going to chat about the upcoming races and silly season rumors.

I agree with the others about ebay. I got a set of nike slingshot 4d irons new for $280 when those irons are 400-500 in retail shops. One word of advise when using ebay is be patient, dont jump on the first deal you see. Also do a search for auctions with a best offer option. A lot of times you can get a great deal on those. Make sure you check feedback and if it seems like too good of a deal it probably is. Good Luck!

Hope you have luck getting some money from that guy. I know the feeling when you have something stolen. Right after I got married my wife and I agreed to each take some of our gift money and buy something. I of course bought new clubs. I mean irons,driver the whole nine yards. Exactly 12 days later they were stolen out of my car. I spent the next month going from pawn shop to pawn shop.

i collect nascar diecasts. The 1/24 scale not the little matchbox type. I have about 150 of them in my office. Many I have gotten signed by the drivers. I probably have 5k to 7k invested. How ever I am turning into club ho and might have to sell some of them. Oh and my wife also thinks my collection is a waste of money.

I went to the local Golf galaxy and was talking to one of the reps about getting fitted. He asked how tall I was (6'2''). He told me that at most all I would need Is probably 1/2'' in length to my club and it wouldnt be worth the $$ I would have to spend. Is this right???? Also, what goes into club fitting, I mean is it just hieght or is it also swing speed, ect... I thought maybe someone in the N.E. Ohio could refer me to a good fitter. Thanks for any help and advise.

My name is Matt, I really enjoy golfing I just dont get to as much anymore. I have a 5,3, and 15 month old. I found you guys by accident. I hurt my back at work and wasnt able to golf for awhile. Recently I was able to get back at it. The time away from golf and my injury didnt help my game at all. In fact its like I have never swung a club at all. Too make a long story short I got online and started searching for tips,help, whatever I could find to get me out of this slump. Its getting better just SLOWLY. Glad to be here and I've already learned alot from just reading your posts.

I just got the nike slingshot 4d irons easy to hit straight with high ball flight. I'm not trying to shap shots so these are perfect for me.

Years back I had gotten bad blisters on my hands splitting wood. It helped to wear two gloves. I got used to it now I play worse if I dont, probably mental.
