What are your top 3 drivers for a high handicapper?
Replay replied to Sheekamoo's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
The best drivers for high handicappers are: Ping G10 or G15 Ping Rapture V2 TaylorMade Burner or R9 Nike Dymo STR8-Fit (Regular and Square) The Callaway FT-iQ I would recommend at least 10.5* - although a more lofted club will impart more backspin, thus reducing the effects of a fade/draw. I used to have a chronic fade...and struggled with the driver... I went for the Dymo2 in 11.5* loft...and I'm loving every minute of it! -
Really disliked the Burner irons....LOVED the G10s!!!! (try the Nike Sumos!)
-
Add the Nike Sumo irons to that list - you definitely won't be disappointed!! I demo'd the Callaway Big Berthas, Ping G10s, TM Burners, Cobra S7s and Nike Slingshots...Sumo's came out trumps IMO!

yeeaaaah Nike Dymo2!!

Taylormade Burner 09 vs. Nike Dymo2
Replay replied to Lean, Mean, Hitting Machine's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Yep R9 is a top driver! I've tried out the both drivers - I chose accuracy over distance - went for the Dymo2! Best thing to do is try them both out. -
Let me start off by saying both are excellent choices! I recently went to a fitting/demo day, and out of all the drivers, those two stood out the most! (I also tried the Callaway FT-9, FT-iQ & Big Bertha Diablo, TaylorMade Burner and one other which I can't remember at the moment) I decided on the Nike Dymo2 11.5* Driver, the widebody version, not the srt8 fit. My advice would be to try both and see which you prefer. I went with the Nike as I felt it was the most forgiving - and the srt8 fit is also a good idea if you don't mind spending the little extra for the adjustability.

See my signature. Have 13 clubs - got space for one more. I think I might add another wedge or a 5-wood? Not in any rush to fill the space though.
-
I would sell it, especially because it's a draw driver. I'm more into learning how to use the driver properly or using a 3-wood to build technique. Also check out the new Dymo2. I love the new nike golf range! p.s. the FT-5 driver is an excellent square head driver!!

Can You Recommend A Good Putter To Improve AIMING?

Odyssey Sabretooth -
I tried out both...I preferred the sabretooth. But as with everything golf club orientated - it's about personal opinion and what feels best for you. Try them both out...see what you like!
-
Love the 60* wedge...it always has a place in my bag. After all...it's all about the "scoring clubs".
-
+1 to all of those...just look at my bag! To be completely honest, nike clubs didn't initially really appeal to me...then I tried them out! The entire range really suited me...shockingly enough, more so than the Callaway Big Berthas and TaylorMade Burners. So I bought the entire set! ...let's not forget the OCD
-
LOL, genius!
-
+1 Nike Extreme Sport II bag is brilliant, I have one in yellow/black. Also Ogio Ozone is a great bag for storage. Both are stand bags (my preference for bags).

Am I missing any clubs from my bag?
Replay replied to Replay's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I was thinking of getting the 3-Hybrid, it would certainly have filled in the gap better between the 3-Wood. But I prefer the loft and ease of use of the 4-Hybrid. I can't hit the 4-iron anywhere near as well as I can hit the 4-Hybrid. Think I'm going to just toss the 4-iron. -

Yep, handicap is really 30. Suppose I've made a pretty big investment considering my relatively poor handicap - although combined will all the time I've been putting in at the range and professional instruction these will surely see my handicap reduce. I bought these clubs after having a demo day and fitting session: tried out various brands inc. Callway, TaylorMade, Cobra, Ping etc...and really enjoyed the Sumo irons and Dymo2 woods. So I wouldn't say I've been "branded". To be honest I was initially quite reluctant to even try out Nike, I never saw them in the same regard as companies such as Callaway, TaylorMade and Ping etc...what can I say, I just hit straighter and longer with these clubs! Just wanted to know when a 5-wood is better to use than a 4-hybrid. I left it out because I felt that in that range, the accuracy of the hybrid is better than the additional yards I may get out of a 5-wood. Also I've heard that sometimes a 4-iron is better than a 4-hybrid. Is this true, and if so in what situations? -
In my Xtreme Sport II bag: Driver: Dymo2 11.5* 3-Wood: Dymo2 15* Hybrid: (4) 23* Irons: Sumo 4-SW Wedges: CG14 60* LW Putter: 34" White Hot XG Sabretooth Am I missing any clubs from my bag? More specifically do I need to add a 5-Wood? Or is it OK, to have the 3-Wood and 4-Hybrid arrangement? Thanks in advance for the feedback!
-
No offset...I recommend using a regular club and focusing on improving your swing. I slice into the next golf course...but I bought a regular driver to force improvement...and no regrets...it's certainly paying off!

You're opinion on "high tech" tees

+1 to zero friction tees. They last forever. -
Club's to round off my Big Bertha's and Monster?
Replay replied to blackstallion's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I just bought a 15* 3-Wood and a 23* 4H...left out the 5-wood and a 2H/3H. If I need the distance, it's the 3-wood; if I need the accuracy I go for the 4H. For the SW/LW, I recommend the CG14 Wedges!! Hope that helps!
