I exclusively use sharpro multi-compound grips think they are brilliant, and IMHO, as good as the GP grips. The only thing i noticed about the sharpro's was a little bit of colour run. but now i know this happens with the GP's, i think they are just as good. I would say, get them, you won't be disappointed.

I have just received an email from the organisers and i have got tickets for the thursday practice round of the Ryder Cup!! Am absolutely over the moon. Has anyone else received the good news? If so, what day are you going on? Has anyone ever been to a thursday practice? How much do you reckon i'll see??

My phone does not have to have any phone signal to work as a gps device, they are completely separate functions, its the same for the i phone. The GPS receiver is completely seperate from the phones internet and aerial! GPS phones work just as well as any car sat nav, GPS walking aid or golf course yardage finder, as long as it can pick up satellites then it will work. This means that is a phone can only pick up one satellite and is therefore less accurate, this would be exactly the same for skycaddie or any other expensive gps device, they all work exactly the same. You are paying for the hardware, not the software!!

I have a HTC phone and use freecaddie, and i have a friend who has an iphone with freecaddie and it really is very good! This is a first hand review! I have bought the $25 upgrade to turn it into freecaddie pro and its the best money i have spent on golf in ages. I have found the yardages to be EXTREMELY accurate and very very useful. With the free version you get front, middle and back only, still very very useful. With the pro version this is extended to all sorts of course features such as hazards and doglegs etc. As well as this there is a shot measure feature and a scorecard with fairways hit etc. Not only is it a gps yardage device it is general stats software as well, when you upload your rounds of golf it keeps track of all of your key stats, very useful. In terms of courses, if your course is in their database you merely download it to your phone for free. If your course is not on their, you can create it through their website and then it is free for everyone to use, this way they have an massive and expanding database of courses, all around the world. With regards the process, you use google maps and pplace markers on the key points such as the front edge of greens, and the front and end of hazards. I would completely and utterly recommend getting it, and if you have any questions about it let me know, its really so much better than spending $100's on a separate gps device thhat does exactly the same thing.

If you want to be mean to someone fine....... THIS has to be the dumbest quote, how on earth are you certain that the 4 dozen you bought were the 'hot ones' Taylormade don't even know which ones the hot ones are, do you know something that they dont? I seriously doubt it!

Lol, its like you read my mind, being a Briton Paul Casey has been one of my (if not my actual) favourite golfer for quite a while!! Seems like a genuinely nice chap, lovely swing, hits the ball a mile, great iron player, and very gracious, fully deserves his world number 3 status!! Another favourite has to be Adam Scott, he might be struggling at the moment but he is really a class act and has a great swing!

I have these exact irons with the DGs300 shaft in them. When i went for my fitting i tried the project x 6.0 and the launch angle was higher and the peak height of the ball was higer as well, if i remember properly they launched around 2 degrees higher and my peak height was 5-10 feet higher. I like you hit the ball high so had to go for the s300 to keep the ball down. On the knock down shot, how high does yours go? I have to admit i haven't really had a problem hitting it, and with my 3 iron i can hit one that goes abot 15 feet high and 190 yards forwards which is ideal in windy conditions!!

Sorry to be a kill joy but this has already been discussed, have a look here. http://thesandtrap.com/forum/showthr...ighlight=worst Thanks

I would love a genuine explanation as to the differences between the TP red and black golf balls. Which one is the longer one, which one spins more etc etc, as far as i am concerned their literature on the matter is awful and it is almost impossible to work out which one is which!

I would have to agree that it is a great driver! I managed to grab one on ebay for £60 ($85) with a UST shaft and it is great, wouldnt even consider paying £250 for a new driver when ive got it!!

I LOVE IT!! I was going to go along the same lines! Driver 350-600 yards 2 hybrid 300 yards 3 iron 280 4 iron 265 5 iron 250 6 iron 225 7 iron 200 8 iron 190 9 iron 180 pw 170 sw 150 gw 135 60 degree 125 Putter - green And these are all my easy swings I love how many people claim they hit it over 300, even though the average pga distance isnt even that!! Fascinating

Has no one else noticed the blatant bias that is in this article??? It is clearly a "I love Phil Mickelson and hate Tiger Woods" author! I always find it strange that Mickleson and Woods seem to be like science and religion, people seem to think they are incompatible, i.e. its not possible to like both at the same time, its either love tiger and hate phil, or love phil and hate tiger! As far as i am concerned, Tiger Woods' profession is to play golf, and he does it pretty well, so does mickelson. It is neither of their professions to sign autographs, or give interviews with massive amounts of insight. With regards Tiger Woods interview style, what must always be remembered is that he is in a position like no other, in that as world number 1 (by a long long long long way) and as a figure that goes beyond the boundries of golf, whatever he says is reported internationally, one small slip and it will be jumped on and repeated and analysed and butchered. Phil Mickelson within reason can say whatever he likes and at the end of the day, not too many people will really care! I think the fact that Mickelson has very very few friends on tour, whereas Tiger Woods has many perhaps suggests something about Mickelson that does not come across during interviews etc.

I use the multi compound on all of my clubs and they feel as good as the golf pride versions. The only difference is that the colour does run a little, but hey, im not that fussed when i payed one third of the price of the golf prides!

While i do completely agree that all of those above mentioned are skills, they are undoubtedly things that the golfer is able to do for themselves. If a golfer is completely unable to read a putt then there is no way they could have got where they are, and anyone can read a yardage book (generally) and work out yardages. The caddie is not allowed to place the ball on the ground for the player, and is therefore not allowed to physically line it up, how is standing behind their player telling them to move an inch left any different to that? If a professional player struggles with their alignment, they should spend a lot of time with their very expensive coaches and gadgets and get it fixed, rather than relying on someone else to do it for them. I totally agree with this, its simple and makes a lot of sense. The reason i have posted this poll is that i was watching the european tour and one of the players, Gonzalo Fernandez Costano spent a lifetime being lined up for putts by his caddie and it got very irritating. If he's thhat poor at putting then he shouldnt be playing for money!

Here is one for thought, do you think that a caddie should be allowed to line up a putt for their player. Im not talking about helping read the putt but rather where the caddy stands directly behind the player and lines them up for the putt. The likes of JB Holmes springs to mind. I personally think that it should not be allowed and here is the reason. Putting is a skill and crucial part of the game. If a professional is unable to line themselves up to putt then as far as i am concerned they have a major flaw and therefore are not good enough to play the highest level. Imagine in pool or snooker if the player were to have someone line them up for each pot, it would not be fair and one would have to question the ability of the player. Let us know what you think and why.

Good choice!!! They are the best clubs i have ever hit!! They aren't that difficult to hit either, i certainly do not have a problem using mine!! As far as i am concerned they are without doubt the sweetest irons i have ever hit! Let us know how they work on the course!

I was playing on a local course with some friends, we had just finished the one hole and it was about 150 yards to the next tee, my one friend then says "im going to hit this in the bin next to the tee", takes out a random iron from his bag, drops his ball, gives it a wack, straight into the bin 150 yards away! We were laughing so hard, bearing in mind this bin was about 1 foot high and 1 foot square it was pretty impressive. He then proceeded to lose 4 balls on that hole, demonstrating just how flukey that shot really was!! I have also played in wind so hard that i hit a shot with a wedge that wnet about 50 yards forwards to the top of its flight, and then came backwards 30 yards to land 20 yards in front of me!! Crazy stuff!!

I always black out the number of the ball (i dont like to know what number im playing) and i draw a green line for alignment. On the opposite side i draw a logo in green (this logo changes from box to box) I do this so my ball is VERY recognisable, yet, other people still insist on playing it thinking it is theirs!! God gave us eyes for a reason!!!

I think people are forgetting that in regulation play Kenny Perry hit his drive into the trees and yet miraculously found himself sitting in the middle of the fairway! If it had gone into the trees he may well have found himself not even making the playoff, that strikes me as fairly lucky! Also does anyone remember trevor immelman last year spinning one of the green at 15 yet it still staying dry?? That was lucky!!
