I don't know why I by so many drivers. I have about a half a dozen drivers at home. Every time I see a new one in the golf shop, I just have to buy it. Last week I had one custom made from a Alpha head that I got off eBay and a graphite design shaft.. Took it to the range, and I love it. Then I went to go get some gloves today at the golf shop, and I saw a Burner superfast driver in the barrel, and had to have. I think I have addiction...

You must have a pretty high swing speed then. Do you use stiff or regular shafts? martinbr

Hi everyone, I purchased a Graphic Design G 60 silver series driver shaft that I'm going to put on a Alpha head. My swing speed is around 85-90. what I have been reading about this shaft is that it has a stiff tip on it to produce low to mid ball flight. i 'm thinking I might have been better with the Y+6 model instead or the G series 60 red model. Any thoughts on this shaft? I'm stuck with it now, so I am going to be installing it. I guess the worse could be is that it will feel a little stiff maybe? I don't know. Thanks martinbr

[quote name="pumaAttack" url="/t/81029/have-you-ever-hit-anybody-golfing#post_1120552"]Today I was practicing on the range at my local course. I was working on short wedges shots, which I tend to mishit. I took one shot and it shanked off the hosel and it went flying right. I never really saw the ball but knew it wasnt good. As I looked over to the right I saw a women get hit square in the head. I knew it was my shot. She went straight down to the ground... I went over to see her and she was covered in blood but was sitting up and talking. She kept saying she was ok and to not worry about it. Her friend was with her, luckily, and they put a bandage around her head and drove off to the hospital. I asked if there was anything I could do and they said no but i still feel awful about it. Has anybody else had any other experiences like this? [/quote] I was hit in the head once. Was at Sharp Park golf course in Pacifica, CA. I heard a four, and one second after that I was wack!

I've been hit by a fairway shot from some player who didn't yell fore. I was pissed

Hello everyone, I have been reading Ernest Jone's book (Swing the Clubhead). The book makes a lot of sense and has been helping me feel the head more thru the swing. But sometimes my hips get out of sync with my upper body. I don't know if it's in my backswing, or whether it's something I am doing on the downswing. I am kind of thinking maybe I am swaying sometimes when I come down into the swing instead of turning. I don't know. But the more I relax my hands and let the club head do the work it works pretty good. Now that's if I erase any thoughts such as start with the hip first, fire the right side, ect... If I make those thoughts a priority over just trying to stay relaxed and swing the head, all the parts seem to work by themselves. Does this make sense? Are you guys making a conscience swing thought of doing a hip bump and turn? Maybe someone has a youtube link that I maybe be able to go to in which explains this. thanks, martinbr

Thank you, I didn't realize. That's why it's good to video tape yourself.... martinbr

@mvmac , Thank you for this link. I will take a look at it. I also didn't realize how much I move my head up going back. It's raising my left shoulder up. thanks, martinbr

Your a real funny guy....

billchao, can you see this video here?

You mean you can't see it? I screwed up then uploading it from youtube. I have to figure out how to fix it or upload again, public. thanks, martinbr

Videos: Hi everyone, I am having a heck of a time trying to get my weight over to my left side on the downswing. Could you please take a look at my ugly swing here and tell me what I am doing from preventing for me to get my weight over to my left? I am scheduled to take another lesson next week with a old teacher I took lessons from around 6 years ago. I have also just finished taking a series of lessons from a pro out at the range that I go thru. He helped me a lot of things like my posture, keeping my chin up ect... But I still feel like I am coming over the top and that I can't get the weight all the way over without losing power which tells me I am not getting it over right. Am I getting my hips out of the way enough? thanks,

Yeah, I think I'm going to keep these for awhile. When I become a better player I will probably dump them and get something else. martinbr

thanks!

mvmac, have you tried the rbz's before? How did you like them? martinbr

Well they definitely longer than my other clubs. But I just want to get something I can get off the grass and onto the green. Screw the distance, even if I have to take a longer club. I am going to keep them for awhile and if they don't work out, I will use them as a trade in or sell them and get something else. I have a set of clone r11's that feel really good. Actually, I don't even know why I bought these things. Just looked like a pretty good deal.

Hi everyone, have a question about these clubs I just purchased. I bought a set of rbz graphite regular shafts 6-AW. Went on ebay and purchased a 4 and a 5 iron to match up the set. Took them out a couple of times on the course and couldn't hit them very well. I know it's not the clubs and that it's something in my swing that I am doing wrong. Because I can go to the range and hit the heck out of them all day long. They feel pretty good. I think it might even be a mental thing that I'm doing wron. Had to go to graphite because of my arthritis. Yes, I am a Senior Citizen. :) I have a chance to pick up a set of Rocketbladez 6-P for a couple of hundred bucks. Hit them at ******** and they seem really solid. And from what I have read they got pretty good reviews. I asked the Taylormade rep at the store about the difference's in the two and he told me basically that the rocketbladez have more forgiveness at the bottom. I think they are nicer looking club than the rbz's so that's a plus. But I would be giving up 3 clubs. I would have to purchase a 4 and a 5 iron and I wouldn't have the AW wedge. I have a way better deal with what I have now, but it the other clubs are going to work out better for me, I would definately go back to the store and trade them in. I have a 90 day return policy on the rbz's in which I paid $140.00 for. The rocketbladez are $200.00. So I would have to come up with a difference with about $80.00. Are these Rocketbladez that much better than the rbz's. I can't tell, and would probably have to take them out on the course to see if they work any better for me. I know these clubs are not the newest on the block, but I really just wanted to get a decent set of Taylormade's Anyone have any experience with these two clubs? thanks, martinbr

Ok, I guess I have got to go to the range and see if I can get something copied onto my phone and upload it. thanks everyone.,...martinbr

Hi everyone, I am experiencing a problem with my right shoulder dropping on the down swing and making me hit fat shots. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. This is only on the course mind you. I am hitting the ball pretty true at the driving range, but for some reason I can't get my irons going on the course. The only thing that I think it could be is tension unless someone else here has a idea what I might be doing wrong. thanks, martinbr

Thanks for all the suggestions..... martinbr

Hello everyone, just joined the board and wanted to introduce myself. Have played golf for the past twenty years, but laid for the last five and just getting back into it. I originally took up the game since my father was a golfer and all I remember is watching all the those old tournaments on T.V. when I was kid. You know the ones where they all wore those outrageous pants. :) Anyway, getting back into it. Had a set of custom clubs made a few months ago and have been pounding balls at the range almost everyday. Have been on the course a few times, but my short game sucks. So I am working on that now. Just went out today and picked up another set of used irons at the local golf store since I like taylormade products, I went with the a set of used RBZ's. Took them to the range and love them! So now I am pretty set up with the equipment, just need to keep working it out. The best thing I did is when I started playing again was took a half of dozen lessons from a teacher out at the range. Things are getting better each day. martinbr
