  1. wow.....i started this a long time ago. The irons served their purpose pretty well. The finish on the back of the clubs wore off pretty quick. They were very forgiving, hard to chunk, which was helpful for my game at the time. I have since went through those, a set of Tommy Armour silverscot cb's, and am currently bagging MacGregor M685's. I have went from a 12 handicap to currently around a 4 and improving. I'm actually going for my CPGA card in August. All in all, for the money, they are decent. But since I have been able to find sets like the M685's i have now for 200 bucks, in my opinion, better deals can be found on higher quality used goods.
  2. Maybe look into getting the 905R reshafted with the YS-6. I was hitting it much higher with that shaft than my V2
  3. I'm a 4 handicap and am debating whether it's even worth trying blades. And you're a 17 and are dead set on them....??? Maybe you should try to work on getting a mroe consistent swing and maybe break 85 once in a while before buying the least forgiving irons on the market?
  4. I do this only when I don't turn my hips into the shot. Make sure your belt buckle is leading the clubhead and it makes flipping your hands much harder.
  5. I just got a Tommy Armour torch 3 wood. Very easy to get in the air and they are very reasonably priced.
  6. Maybe this just isn't the driver for you in the first place???
  7. The 905R is a very forgiving driver. More forgiving than any R7 model ever made. I would say the Burner is more forgiving, but with a 1.5* closed face, i'd look into the TP version.
  8. yeah, put it toward a nwe club. I just got a nearly-new Titleist 905R with a V2 stiff shaft for 150 shipped...
  9. No he doesn't. Most tournaments he plays in he replaces it with a 5 wood. He brought it back for the US open, and also last year's British Open
  10. Turbo power irons are pretty solid actually. I just used a set for 2 seasons and they held up and performed great. take a chance on them, it's decent stuff
  11. the Cleveland Launcher would be ok. The Titleist's are nice but would be the toughest to hit consistently of the bunch.
  12. 9 holes, 3 over 39
  13. I just regripped with the new 2007 Karakal X-Tack's in yellow and black. They have the general construction of a Winn grip, but different materials.. they just don't wear out at all, and aren't terrible in wetter conditions. I've been playing 4-5 times a week for the past couple months and none of them show any wear yet. Best of all, they're about half the cost of Winn grips!
  14. wow man, you are my hero!!! Just yesterday you were a 25 handicap, and now you're an 11.8!!! That is friggin impressive!! You must have played like 20 rounds in a single day! You should change your name to Superman!
  15. sorry, Top destination in Canada this year, a couple years ago it was voted best in North America, not sure where holds that title now.
  16. Turbo Power makes decent stuff. i've used their irons before and they are solid. I wouldn't necessarily get the model myself, but i'm sure they're ok, just not what i look for in an iron.
  17. Alright here goes.... 1. A 3 iron is not easier to hit out of long grass. The hosel will get tangled, and the club tends to twist easier than a larger hybrid head. 2. I'm a 6.6 handicap right now, and I can't "crank" a 3 iron 225 off the deck everytime....if I could, i'd be like a 3 handicap. So what's your issue? 4 putting every green? 25 handicaps have too many swing problems usually than to be trying to hit one of the hardest clubs to hit. 3. To hit a lower shot with a hybrid, just put the ball back in your stance a little bit and cut off your follow through. Same way you would hit a lower shot with any club.
  18. understandable. hybrids give me a fit off tight lies at times too, still don't feel that comfortable with that shot
  19. PEI, Canada. specifically, www.golfpei.ca We were rated as the best golf destination in Canada and North America as well before!
  20. Well i do find irons off the tee to be easier to hit, but not from most lies out on the course.
  21. mine's www.eaglesviewgolf.com located in PEI, Canada
  22. A 3 iron better out of the rough than a hybrid??? Is that a joke? You can also hit knock down shots with hybrids.... I can just see a 25 handicapper's low and long stinger now......6 inches off the ground, usually violently spinning toward the rough.. Don't give the guy bad advice....If hybrids aren't worth a shit, how did Phil win the Players' with his longest iron being a 5?? Humor me, please.
  23. I have new irons ordered in but for the past 2 seasons have been using Nike Slingshot clones. They've treated me great, but I've been needing to switch due to improvement of my game, I have begun to balloon my short irons and cannot work the ball as easily as i'd like. If you are a mid-high handicapper, look into the Turbo Power clubs. Excellent value. www.golfclubsandmore.com sells them i believe.
  24. As a 25 handicapper, I wouldn't recommend you investing into too many long irons. I'd suggest you grab a couple demo hybrids, head to the range and find one you like. I haven't seen too many 25 handicappers able to hit a 3 iron with a trajectory to hold a green into par 5's. I'm not trying to look down on you or anything, just trying to help. Hey, I don't carry a 3 iron, I use a 21* hybrid for those situations.
  25. i'm have 3 in mind. Winn classic soft grips, Winn DSi AVS, or Golf Pride Multicompound.... Anyone have any suggestions or reviews?? Thanks
