work at the good ol DMV, IT.

i've used a 16 nickent genex. I preferred it over a 4/5 wood. Its better out of the rough and in tricky areas.

you could try looking into nickent used clubs. i know the 3dx iron set it great for new players. you can find them used for around $100-$150. they have hybrids also which is a plus. Then invest in a good used driver $75 and the rest you should save for lessons and range time! goodluck!

lefty- thanks for the comment. Yeah i've been making a pretty good run this year dropping my index from 18s to high 14s. I'd really hate to be mentally defeated and call this a lost year.

So it has been a month since i got these new irons. I haven't gamed them yet because I haven't had a decent range session. Compared to my CCi's the head is a little bigger which i thought would be a little more forgiving. however, since the shaft is different, i keep thinking thats the reason why i'm hitting inconsistantly. I had an old demo 6 CCI forged iron that i got used with a proj x 6.0 shaft. Hit em great. just as good as my dg s300 but it had a lower ball flight (good!). so now i know it isn't the shaft my question is. If this were you. what would you do? 1. Keep them and work through them (score is going to suffer initially) 2. Sell them and change the shaft in my current ccis? ($$$) 3. get a new set of cci with X6.0 shaft in it. (not sure i can find new with shaft i want) 4. Sell them and keep what i have. Please comment. If any 07' x forged users would like to talk about their experience and thoughts, that would be awesome!

i found one and tried it. It seemed pretty hard. Distance was good. no greenside control. high ball flight. durable. Not a ball of my choice but I do think it is worth its price. For the same $ i personally would go top flite d2 feel. Good ball with similar characteristics, but a little softer and a little, and i mean little greenside spin.

Mr. West: Nice cameron putter and all, and i'ma let you finish, but the SG9 putter is the greatest putter of all time Congrats on the new putter

Some from my group of dumb friends: hasselhoff - when in the bunker Nice lay up - Topped driver You going for it? - short par 3 little d*ck - a friend that refuses to use his driver even on wide open par 5s big stick b*stard - someone that hits driver good all day

I game the CCi forged. I was also in the same boat as you. i hit both the same, but i went with the cci forged because they were a lot cheaper (mortongolfsales @ $269 *new)

I would look into the taylormade tour burner irons. With markdowns at retail stores and good deals on ebay, its a club that you can grow with for a long time. I have two buddies that use them, one a 23hp and one a 9. The last thing you would want to do is out grow your supergame inprovement irons within a couple of years. The tour buners would be a good start IMO.

You could try TM 09 burners, tour burners, or maybe even the nike vr forged. They are all around your price range. I use to play the tour burners and i really liked them. The lofts were a little stronger then standard. Great feel. and they are $399 new.

disagree with above. i have one. found 6pro v1, 2 hx hotbite, and 1NXT tour on my walk from the first teebox to the first green (water hazzard, 210 to carry). It pays for itself overtime. Free balls = no wasted money

if you like the VR forged, have you looked into the nike CCI forged? they are on ebay new for under $300. Thin top line, very workable, pros use them.

most people either love or hate them (speaking about the NV). I was stuck between the NV and the proforce v2. But after getting fitted for a new shaft, the fitter recomended the NV because it would lower my launch angle and add extra distance. weight of the shaft is also important.

I recently tried the cleveland VP1 putter. they are SOFT. When i first started using them, i was leaving it short by 3-5inches.

like many others have said, craigslist aways works for me.

I also use the PDsoft. I like them. I always seem to find a few in my range basket. I would never buy them at retail, but I do think they are decent

Lebron and going on Kobe (ie 23 ... 24)
