  2. It appears the XR is longer by .375 I actually did choke down thinking that would help, it did but it was still right of target by a few yards. The shots that feel like it hits the heel, still went quite a ways just right of target. Gonna pass by golftec tomorrow. I shouldve taken my X-22 6-iron with me to the range just to ensure it wasnt something with my swing. I have been swinging the club well and often lately to the point where i know it should be a well struck ball....but instead, it was a push left shot...
  3. I received my preowned Callaway XR irons and hit them at the range today. Had issues with every club except PW and 9 iron. 90% of the shots were push right by 10-15 yards I decided to stay with the standard lie since my X-22 were just that but i am thinking that is the issue. it felt like i was hitting the heel and the sound was weird. im thinking i may need 2 degreee upward lie (6'2 w/ 36" wrist to floor) When i look at the specs of both clubs, not much difference. trying to understand why the lie would be a concern. any thoughts?

  4. Great advice, thank you.. I will do just that When i first joined Sandtrap, that probably was my handicap and i got it down to as low as 19 playing regularly. However, that changed after i had my first child. prior to that last 2 months, I played maybe 20 rounds over 2 years. However, Over the last 2 months i have played around 20 rounds of golf, been to the range a number of times and got back with my coach taking lesson. After a number of sessions, range work and course play i have been recently shooting +13-+16. I have always believed if i played more and dedicated the time i could get down to a single digit handicap (im sure most have this same belief). As i mentioned in my opening post, i have been hitting the ball more consistent and feeling confident about my game thus the reason why i decided to update my irons and was now thinking of doing the same with the driver. Also note, i refuse to buy anything new and purchase preowned equipment from callaway. I know where you are coming from. Im a bowler that averages 218 with numerous 300s / 800s and i see people all the time purchase $200 bowling balls as if it will help them score better. No... Its your technique, work on that!! I have this same approach with golf.
  5. Now that you mention that, the rocketballz driver as an adjustable loft. The club is a 10.5 and i recently change the loft setting to highest which means it may now be a 12-13. i wonder how much that may be impacting the distance. I need to revert that back to standard and measure the distance.
  6. Im in orlando and have played Championships gate several times, great track. If you are willing to troop from tampa there, you should check out disneys magnolia and palm's course. You can get a round there for $25 after 2pm and they are both in GREAT condition. I was thinking of going with a 9 degree stiff flex. they have a few options available but may get fitted for the appropriate shaft before purchasing. Many stress how important that is so i will take their advice. Good luck with that new driver, should be fun.
  7. Thanks IndianaDundee....sorry to hear about your injury but glad to know you are still enjoying the game. I was recently at edwin watts and that swing speed noted was with irons. I never swung the driver but I know i am much slower with my driver to ensure good/decent contact. I dont hit the sweet spot consistently as i have hit 260+ yard drives. Just browsing the forum, i can see how important club fitting is. The club noted, i was going to purchase used for 180 but maybe i will do a club fitting for the driver at edwin watts. I hate doing such without making a purchase... Thats just me... Thanks Simple enough, lol
  8. I have been playing a lot of golf lately and with the help of my coach, starting to feel more consistent and comfortable with my swing and game. I have been playing with Callaway X22 irons and just purchased a set of XR irons off callaway's preowned site after hitting them at edwin watts. Im debating now on purchasing a newer driver. I currently have a Taylormade Rocketballz driver which i NEVER hit up until the last month when i put it back in my bag. I have been hitting it well over the last few rounds averaging around 230-240. Im told my driver is antiquate and the newer technology available may give me another 20-35 yards which is the main reason i bought clubs. My swing speed averages around 107. I hit my 9 iron 145-150 and my 7 roughly 165-170. Can i expect to see that drastic a gain in distance with a newer driver? Considering the XR driver stiff with the fujikura speeder 565 graphite shaft. Appreciate your thoughts
  9. Came across this site after posting. Went to my local Edwin watts and hit both the XR and APEX irons.. Ended up purchasing the XR from the site Thanks for your advice and you were spot on regarding the weight, the X22 were over-length. Also, i had over sized grips which also accounted for the "heaviness"
  10. Looking for some feedback regarding these "firesale" clubs noted. I have been taking lessons and have in the past but now I have the time to dedicate on my game. My current clubs are Callaway X22 series 4-PW. My coach states these clubs are outdated and heavy. I swung his callaway apex and WOW, what a difference in weight and feel. at this point, I dont want to spend 1200+ on a new set with my technique flaws. I would rather buy something that is better than what i currently own and spend on higher quality/priced clubs once im shooting in the 70's. Would these sets be an improvement? 2016 Mizuno JPZ EX Forged Irons or the Adams Golf XTD tour iron set I appreciate your feedback
  11. Thank you in advance for your feedback Does anyone know if the new rocketballz stage 2 shafts will fit last years rocketballz driver edition? Wanted to shorten my shaft to 44"...any suggestions? Was looking at the TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 MATRIX 6Q3 STIFF Driver/Wood Shaft 44 with adapter 601 Thank You
  12. i would recommend GG. I started with irons GX922 a few months ago and have since made several purchases. Great Customer Service and prompt shipping. The Hybrid P2 clubs are Awesome. I have the 2 & 4 and love those clubs. They have a 30 day money back guarantee so its worth the risk. Also note that the list price varies as upgrades of the shaft, grip, etc... are additional but well worth it
  13. I never got a chance to see Jack Play only saw highlights. I am in the era of tiger woods, so IMO... He is the greatest during my era
  14. My home golf course is Eagle Creek in orlando http://www.eaglecreekgolf.info ]
