  1. You've put a pic of the Sydney Opera House with the Presidents Cup, it's in Melbourne. Would be like putting a pic of the cup and the Statue of Liberty when it was held in San Francisco.
  2. I think those are more likely to be real than fake, if they are fake they are exceptional. Only thing that raises an alarm bell is the shafts have no labels, but some people take them off, I do. The ferrules look right, there isnt glue all over the place. The serial numbers on the wedges are in a slightly different place than mine, my MP-T10 serials are just slightly more around the ferrule. I don't think serial numbers are proof of authenticity, people can make fakes and put a serial number on it from a real set.
  3. Thanks for the heads up, is 360 the price if he makes a putter that's different from whats on the website? I'd love a scotty squareback that's a bit bigger, I love mine but it's not a very forgiving putter. My bad puts are always on the heel.
  4. I'm scared to ask, how much? Would love to get a putter made exactly the way I want.
  5. Do it, I cut my Rapture V2 down to 44.25. Best thing I've ever done, Does make a touch lighter, but you will make much better contact and hit more fairways. I've just added some lead tape to get the swingweight back.
  6. Buy the demo or a used set, clones are made with crap metal, 2 rounds in they can fall apart, the shafts are likely to be poorly made as well. I can't see any reason for buying clones. No re-sale value, more than likely to break, dodgy shafts. Can anyone come up with a positive for buying clones? For the amount you will spend you can get a used set in good condition g10's.
  7. Get the lofts checked, they are forged so may have shifted over the season. Mizuno are pretty good with specs out of the factory, I've got MP-60s and they were all spot on, the previous irons I had were titleists and I used to hit my 9 and PW almost the same distance, got them checked and turns out the PW was 2* strong and 9 1* weak.
  8. Argh! I wish I was there to heckle, not one part of that presentation is new. Different kick points in each shaft for each club? Really?????? New technology???? Please, how stupid do you think people are? Thin face? That's fine as long as you get it out of the middle, if you don't, you are worse off. Technology has been maxed out in every part of the game, in most cases it will be wound back in the net few years, so his whole presentation about moving forward at a rapid rate is crap. The one thing I wish the USPGA and R&A; could limit is BS marketing like this.
  9. They should be 48, but only clubs designed for low handicaps are 47 or 48, most game improvement sets won't have a PW greater than 45, just so they can say they are the longest irons ever! If I made a set with a 36 deg PW I could sell them as the longest clubs ever, 20 deg is only a small gap to your SW......
  10. Start hitting the ball left handed, much fewer fakes! At least that tourgolfclubs admits they are clones, it's the arseholes who pass things off as real that are the problem.
  11. Don't like them, I have three, 52, 56, 60. The heel digs in with my 52.08 (despite flattening), no problems with the 56.11, the 60.07 has way too much bounce, when you try to open the face the leading edge sits too high, not enough sole relief, you only really use the front half of the bounce so why keep it going through the whole sole? I'm left handed and have limited options, I'm going to get rid of them and buy 3 mizuno wedges, much more versatile sole, the MP-10 60.08 has more bounce but is more versatile and much better when opening the face on tight lies. Beautifull soft feel as well, bought my vokey's just before the MP-10 came out, wish I didn't. Previously had Cleveland 588s, the 53* was a horrible feeling club, rock hard. The rust 60* on the other hand was a great club
  12. http://www.golfsmith.com/products/29..._Angle_adaptor Anyone used one of these, I'm interested to see if actually works, can't find sepcs to see by how much it does change. 1*??? I've got a g10 15* hybrid that I hit well but pretty low, I'm going to reshaft and thinking of putting this in to add some loft.
  13. Fantastic, way to stick it too him, serves him right for trying to rip you off
  14. I have a G10 15deg, it's a little bit hard to hit but my bad shots with aren't nearly as bad as a terrible 3w, more forgiving too. I have a G10 15,21,24 and 4 wedges, no woods other than driver. I'd like to try some of the newer ones, like the Adams super hybrid (I think it's called) that comes in 15
  15. *Yes, I plan on sending them back. I cannot in good conscience keep the clubs according to my own personal set of values and judgments. That's just me, but I can understand the flip-side of that argument as well. Brandon[/QUOTE] Man, he tried to rip you off, he has got good feedback and hasn't bought/sold much stuff. I think he bought them, realised he got ripped off, then tried to rip someone else off, you. Give him negative feedback, "sold me fake golf clubs, but gave me a refund" The heads do look fantastic, they let themselves down with the ferrule and shaft sticker
  16. The heads were pretty good looking fakes, rifle 6.0 is not a standard shaft for the mp-68s, they could've been fitted by a club maker which would explain the weird ferrules. The seller being in Canada using an Asian shipping company is odd. Did you ever have a hit of them, Mizunos have an amazing feel that would be very obvious if not the real deal.
  17. This is why customer is more important than ever with the internet, if you have a good experience you tell a few people. If you have a bad experience you can go one every blog you can and blast away. bong_crosby and everyone else should be able to warn people
  18. i hardly think asking a question about combined shipping before you buy is being a high maintenance customer
  19. its just basic customer service, he sells a ton of stuff so he should have staff to deal with questions and shipping stuff. i was going to buy something from him but he didnt respond to my combined shipping question so i didnt buy. if a seller doesnt respond when they are trying to make a sale what chance is there of them responding if theres a problem. internet selling is no different to a store, imagine if you walked into a store and tried asking questions to a salesman and he just stood there and said nothing then walked away, you wouldnt buy from that store, you wouldnt go back either.
  20. the grip can be saved, any repair shop can do it, if they say they cant, go somewhere else. the only reason a grip cant be saved is if you have a few wraps underneath the grip and want them taken away, the rubber has been stretched. dont worry about cutting the shaft, you can always have it lengthened if you dont like the shorter length. the shorter the putter length the lighter the clubhead will feel, its swingweight. thats why scotty cameron putters have different weight inserts for the 33' (20g), 34' (15g), 35' (10g), cutting a 35 with 10g weights to 33 would feel light, if it feels too light put some lead tape on
  21. i'm about to do the same thing, i know changing the loft changes the bounce but what i'd like to know is how the centre of gravity and offset is affected. a 56 is going to have slightly less offset than a 54. things being equal (the bounce being the same) is it better to reduce the loft of a 56 or increase a 54?
  22. errrrr, is mccord has tone the most annoying and least funny commentator in sport. nothing worse than someone who thinks they are clever and funny when they aren't. can we start a petition to have him banned from every tournament like the masters did
  23. I play a 1h instead of 3w and no 5w, driver, 1h, 3h, 4h then regular irons. a poorly hit 1h ends up alot better than a bad 3w, theres not a huge amount of difference in distance. Which lets me can play 4 wedges, 47, 52, 57, 62
  24. anyone tried viewti 2010? it's only been out for a few wks, looks pretty different and has a greenreader and swing analysis. just got an iPhone and tossing up between golfshot and viewti, any experiences about which is smoother to use, thanks
  25. i'd like to know if nike make their golf clubs in a similar sweatshop environment, it would be criminal to charge 400 for a driver that was made by someone earning 16c an hour. never bought a nike club or hit one and don't have any intention too.
