I normally take lessons at Cantigny golf course (I live about 45 minutes west of Chicago) but due to the rain I didn't get to play all weekend. By my house is a ditch that has recently turned into a lake.

Have you ever found vintage or rare golf balls on the course? I recently found an Arnold Palmer "Charger 2." Does anyone know when they were made?

Could you use it for chipping?

If I'm right, they are low compression balls, so faster-swingers might lose distance while slower-swingers would gain distance.

Where did you see pics of the Big Bertha Diablos?

The Callaway Hyper-X drivers are also nice.

One year and a 15 handicap? Wow, your good. Your short game must be excellent.

If you swing speed is that fast, you might want to try out need steel shafts for you irons. I am in a similar situation, I will need all new clubs next year to replace my fourty buck teen golf set. I am not as tall, nor do I have as fast of a swing speed as you, but my instructor still says I would need steel-shafter irons.

Just get a box of Top Flite XL 5000 or D2s. You can get them in soft/feel, straight, and distance versions, and they play quite nicely. Cheap, to.

Haha... must of missed that!

Sweet! What does the special ball even look like?

I am definitely going to have to get new clubs next year anyways, even my instructor says that. I was just kind of curious.

Ever since I started golf a couple years ago, (I am 14 right now) I have been using a driver I got in a junior's set. When I started it was fine, but now, as I have gradually developed a fasyer swing, I don't think it can handle it. When I hit the ball, it seems like the club wants to twist around the inside or outside of the ball. Even when I hit the sweet spot, it still feels weird. I have been hitting farther recently, but not very accuratly. Is this because of the low MOI of the driver?

On a small par 3 hole I hit one of my best ever shots. It would of gone straight into the parking lot, but luckily the ball bounced of a tree.
