Scotty Cameron Sea Mist California Fastback
millencolinman replied to hacker101's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I own one and love it my putting has improved since picking it up last year because it seems to fit my stroke well and my confidence has increased from my old blade style putter. Selecting a putter is very personal, so if you keep going back to it and can afford why not pick it up. -
He said it's a D3 school, they don't really recruit or give any scholarships for athletics. I would think if you got to a 5 you might have a shot of making the team, but its hard to tell without knowing the level of competition they play against. Look at the scores posted online from the current team and see how you stack up. In the end the only way you'll really find out is to show up and see if you make the cut.

Where to start for new clubs
millencolinman replied to ttaggart's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
In my experience it depends where you go. Most places will have you hit a bunch of different clubs before you start the fitting session so you can narrow down what you want to a few different clubs. Then you go to the fitter with your selection and they will help you decide which of the clubs you've selected work best for you. Once you've made that decision they will work on making adjustments to the irons you selected to make them fit you best. It very important that you bring in your current irons so you can compare them to the new ones you are purchasing. Do some research before you go so you have an idea of what irons you would like to try. -
Anyone keeping an eye on a 2013 bag?
millencolinman replied to sliceshowbob's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Enjoy your bag then, I have no complaints about mine so far. I need to find myself someone in the industry so I can get some discounts, then again I replaced my entire set up this year and if I spend anymore on golf anytime soon my girl friend may murder me. -

The 14way is a great bag and I love mine, but if you want to save a couple bucks get the sun mountain Four 5 it's essentially the same exact bag you're just not paying the premium for the Titleist name. -
I think it's more common for people to dislike a particular brand. I would fall in that category, when buying my new clubs this year I gave every brand a fair shot except for Nike. I'm sure they make very nice clubs but I refuse to let the swoosh enter my bag. I just find it hard to trust a company that makes crappy shows to make my expensive golf set.

I have 2 sets but only because I travel for work and keep one set at work and the other set at home. The set at work are just my old clubs I've replaced over the years.

I bought mine from a local shop and it came with the studio select head cover. -
Launch Monitor Distance vs. Real Distance?
millencolinman replied to JimMurphy99's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
If you have to use an indoor launch monitor the only real way to ensure accuracy is to bring in your current club and compare it to the new club you want to get. I wouldn't want to drop a bunch of money on new equipment if it doesn't perform better then my current gear. -
Driver for Beginner...
millencolinman replied to homedepotfan's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
You should stay with a regular shaft with your current swing speed. Even with your old swing speed of low 90s a regular flex would fit you.If you are really stuck between the G20 and the Razr X get on a launch monitor and find out which one you hit better. -

Decided to upgrade the whole set this year -
High handicapper, need a golf shoe.
millencolinman replied to incineratorz's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Try on as many pairs as you can. Shoes are very hard to recommend because what fits me may not fit you. I bought a pair of Adidas tour 360s on someone's recommendation had to give them away because they gave me blisters. It was hard because I loved everything else about those shoes but the blisters were just to much. Picked up a pair of ecco bioms (with spikes) and can tell you I won't be switching brands anytime soon. -
Which putter do you use?
millencolinman replied to hypergolf's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Scotty Cameron California Fastback, I rolled almost every putter in the shop and kept coming back to the fastback. -
Ecco Biom Hybrid Golf Shoe
millencolinman replied to neonlew's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Yes, I have a pair. My Adidas tour 360s gave me blisters so I decided to give the eccos a try. Very comfortable shoes, very light, and the yak leather is super soft. They also have fantastic arch support, I don't know if I've ever had a pair of shoes with such good arch support. -
Last (Golf) Thing You Bought?
millencolinman replied to JYB's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Made more progress in upgrading my set. Picked up a Titleist 910f 3 wood, and a 20 degree ping I20 hybrid. -

millencolinman replied to JYB's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
Decided to upgrade most of my set up this year: Titleist 910 D3 Ping I20 Irons Golfpride New Decade Multi compound grips (Couldn't Stand the stock ping grips for some reason) Will more then likely replace everything else this year as well -
My girlfriend started playing about a year ago she doesn't get to play to often but she does make very solid contact when she plays. She just picked up a lady burner yesterday and can't wait to use it.

I know I prefer to have the wedges up top, plus the pockets are set up in a strange pattern so woods on bottom wedges up top looks better to me -

cleaning up my scotty putter!
millencolinman replied to mazza78's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Well i know some people say to use vinegar to take rust off. My father tried this on his all black scotty and it took the rust off, what he wasn't aware of was that it would take all of the black finish off his putter as well. -

millencolinman replied to millencolinman's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Its funny that you should say that because I have also been fighting shanks, started with just short pitch shots now sometimes i'll even shank 3 quarter punch shots.
