Bought a New Driver Tonight - after 12 years
jrwingate6 replied to wolverine_man's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
What do you think about the Burner TP model which has a 2deg. open face? -
I do not care for mallet style putters. Thanks for trying though.

You should get on the long drive tour and you should be using a XX Stiff shaft with a 149mph swing speed. Also that's about 15mph faster than Tiger Woods. Maybe it's time for Golf Galaxy to recalibrate their machine. -
I am currently looking for a Left Handed Center Shaft Putter. Specifically either a Betinardi, Scotty Cameron or Odyssey. I do not like large mallet putters. I am looking for a classic look or square back style. I'm having trouble finding one. Can anyone recommend some putters for me?

Club and shaft recommendation?...
jrwingate6 replied to Saint's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I chose the wrong word. I should have said average. Also the average 9 iron distance on tour is 140-150. I just find it hard to believe that this guy is hitting it 15 yards further than the average pro. -

You hit your 9 iron 165 and only hit your 5 iron 187 consistently? That makes no sense. -

I'm a lefty and when I was shopping for my new clubs I picked out 4 different kinds and told the sales manager I was not spending 900$ on a set of irons without hitting them. He called the reps and they dropped of my left handed 6 irons to hit. -
Nike Victory Red Split Cavity Back's. I'm not telling you to buy them but make sure you hit them when your shopping around. They are very workable while being surprisingly forgiving at the same time. They are forged with a very thin top line and you cannot see the small cavity at address which gives you confidence when standing over the ball. These irons feel so good on a flush shot and they tell you if you made contact with the heel or toe. IU owned Mizuno's and Titleist prior to these and the Nike's are by far the best iron's I ever hit.

By the way, I can hit a 9 iron 165 yards to with a low ball flight. There is no way in the world you are hitting a 9 iron 165 yards with the proper ball flight. Maybe down hill with a 20 mph wind at your back. What is your swing speed? -
I ditched my scotty for a Nike unitized retro blade. Very old school and the shaft is actually forged into the club head which gives me a ton of feedback.

I play the Nike VR split Backs with Dynamic Golg X100. It is a extra stiff shaft and I only hit my 9 iron 145. With regular shafts I was hitting a 9 iron 150. I lost 5 yards but I gained more control going to extra stiff shafts. The Nike VR split backs are the best of both worlds. Workable yet forgivable. They only have a very small cavity in them. -
Taylormade RE-AX Tour Prefered Shaft
jrwingate6 replied to jrwingate6's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I'm trying to figure out exactly which Fujikura shaft it is if you were to by it aftermarket. Some say that the RE-AX TP is actually a Rombax shaft being that some of them say Rombax technology at the bottom end of the shaft. Others say its a shaft that Fujikura made for the guys on tour using a Taylormade driver. Taylormade just stamped RE-AX on it so the people buying the non TP clubs would think that they are getting a tour quality shaft. I thought the Tour Preferred shafts were supposed to be low-med launch? Basically I'm trying to figure out if I should pull my Graffalloy Pro Launch Red out of my 07 Burner and install it in my new one. If it is a true Rombax shaft or some other high dollar Fujikura I wouldn't want to be replacing a 300$ shaft for a 70$ shaft. As soon as it gets here I guess I will have to take it to a launch monitor to get my results. -
What kind of shaft is the stock REAX TP that comes in the 09 Burner TP?
-
What is the difference between a R7 Limited and a R7 Limited Tour Preferred?
-
I keep hearing how long this driver is and how it's the longest on tour. Has anyone hit this that can confirm it?
-
I always wandered why people added more weight to the bottom rear of there drivers. I understand that more weight on one side of the club will produce a draw or fade bias. What I want to know is what does more weight or less weight do when placed equally at the rear of the driver.
-
Bottom line is.....With all the technology now, all of the major companies are making golf balls that perform as well or better in some cases than the Titleist Prov. The reason why alot of us play Titleist golf balls is because we want to play "the #1 ball in golf". Just because Titleist pays pro's to play there balls and markets them very well does not mean they make the best golf ball in the world.

Japanese non-conforming driver.

Why do they even bother making a Japanese model if it's only going to add 5 yards. It's not like marketing ploy because these drivers are not readily available to US residents. -

I don't play a 6 iron. I know, weird right. -
This guy is must be a corky.
-
Would a non-conforming high cor driver benefit someone with a 114mph swing speed?
-
LOL, I am a lefty. Why does everyone hate left handers?
-
Because I screw everything up.
-
Also can the launch angle be bent from 10.5 to 9.5?
-
Yea, I would definitely get a club builder to do it. I don't even put grips on at home.
