Oddly it flakes on the rear edge as well. The ball flight is good still though. I'm going to get contacts today so I can start to see where my drives land.

Well i've had my carbon composit driver for a few weeks now and I though I'd like to give some feedback to the forum. First off I really like how I hit this driver, I previously left my driver at home because I had such a problem hitting it. The problem(s) with the driver are related to quality, and now I see why it was on special for $99. The first problem I had was with the finish, the epoxy type top coat seems to flake off quite easily. The second problem was that the epoxy on the shaft wasn't properly bound and I had to get it re-glued, it started loosening up after a few rounds, and trips to the range. The third problem may not be related to the quality of the club, but I have a strange "dent" on the driver, and I am not sure if it from some impact driving around in the cart, my trunk or from striking a ball on the heel with a bad swing. All in all i'm happy with the driver since I don't care too much about how it looks if I hit is long and straight, but some people may be turned off by the finish problem. I had 1" chopped off the shaft (down to 44") per some suggestions I read, hope it improves my driving even more.

Well i hit a huge bucket of balls and had so much fun with the driver I didn't want to put it down. I would normaly hit 4-5 balls with my old driver and switch to a different club because I could not get any results. But tonight I was killing it straight and with a great trajectory. It does make a funny noise though, more of a pop vs a ping. It realy does supprise you how it flies off the face with that noise. I'm not quite sure how far i was hitting it because with the lights on the range I would loose track around 200 yards. I think i'll need new glasses or something with this driver.

I just got the jmax carbon and i think i like it. It seems a bit heavy, but for me that is a good thing as I think feeling the head a bit more lets you slow down you takeaway and downswing. I only hit 4 balls over the 10th tee into the driving range behind my house but i realy crushed them, and the ball flight was real nice. if it wasn't so damn hot i'd be at the range right now. I got the 3w and 5w too, so i'll report on them when I get back tonight.

From what I understand you should be able to complete your backswing with a wall at your back.

Interesting you say the hybrids made a huge difference. Did you have trouble with your long irons, and is thay why you went hybrid? I bought a set of TA3s off ebay and hate them. I'm very happy with the TA5's but if you saying you saw a huge improvement in your game after switching i'd be willing to take a 2nd look.

I was just playing a round last month and this was the subject of conversation. The idea the one guy had was to bring irons that suit the par 3 holes and forget the putter.

Hello, I'm new to the forum and decided to fire off a couple quesitons. A little background first. I have been playing about 3 years and love the game tons. My fist year I had the opportunity to have a boss who loved to play as well and loved to play during business hours, so I was getting out 2-3 times per week in the NY season for my whole first year. I broke 100 about 1 full year after I started, but unfortunatly my work situation changed and I was able to only get out 2-3 times per month, and we had a good layoff for the winter. I have recently moved to NC and am looking forward to the longer season, as well as joining a club which I should be able to start in the next few weeks. My score these days is anywhere from 104 to 115, all the way up to 126 the last round I played ( played from the blues like a dumbass on a very tough course). My swing is "ok" I think i have a good swing plane but I have problems with balance where I get on my tip toes after my swing, my left foot spins out, and I have developed a ton of head movement since my last lesson. I play cleveland TA5 +1" irons, with a TaylorMade 360Ti driver, cobra 3W, and a ping belly putter. Now on to my question. I have been reading a bunch of club reviews for the new equipment that has come out in the past year and there seems to be a ton of interest in MOI and hybrid clubs and every one with a high handycap seems to have problems with their long irons if you believe the marketing. I have a different problem however, and my 3I is my favorite and most dependable club with my accuracy of my driver being HORRIBLE. I can hit my 3I around 220 off the tee straight and consistant, my driver is super slice all day long unless i close the face at address around 2 degrees. I just ordered a new driver and hope that the TaylorMade is setup wrong for me or something but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas, and has seen their 3I 200% more accurate than their 3W 5W or driver. I'm also wondering about anyone who is playing with a TourEdge JMAX Carbon driver and woods. I found the driver on Amazon for $99, woods for $89, and hope I like it, there have been a couple good reviews but hardly anyone has given it a "user rating". Any thoughts, I have seen zero feedback on the woods.
