RS22

So I took a few years off from golf after my collegiate playing days and now that I'm back I'm interested in what the best forged cavity back or muscle back irons out there are. I've seen the titleist AP2s and they look pretty nice but I don't know what else is out there brand wise. I currently play Cleveland TA2s and I love em but down the road I may look to upgrade those bad boys. I'm also new to rifle shafts, my experience with iron shafts in the past was always dynamic gold steel shafts and nothing else. I have a swing speed of around 128mph and I hit the ball very high so I was reading about rifle shafts and realized I don't know anything about them. What would any of you guys suggest as far as shafts for me hitting high and having a fairly high swing speed. I prefer as low torque as possible for my clubs.

I chose the Fujikura Rombax 7Z08. It has a very low torque, and the weight is good for me, the 8Z08 was a little heavier than I would have liked. The kicker those is its very high kick point and thusly low trajectory. I hit the ball very high and have a fairly high swing speed (128+ on average) and I needed a low piercing ball flight.

I think if you are a very consistent ball striker then switching to a blade is a plus because you can work the ball better and the feeling of a perfectly struck blade shot is like no other. But there's those consistent strikers that prefer the feel and play of cavity backs. It's simply your choice what you play, it just takes a more consistent swing to play blades so that's why better players tend to be the ones using them.

plain and simple its just better to get lessons than fix your own problems unless you know the golf swing really well and have access to a camera. I had been fighting a big pull hook or push slice for a few weeks now and finally gave in and went to see my swing coach for a tune up. Within 20 mins we fixed the problem and had me hitting a sweet power cut again. My swing was perfectly on plane and the club face was right where it should be at the top but I was getting too quick w/ my hips (hence the push slice) and I was flipping my hands at impact (hence the over corrected pull hook). He gave me some drills to work on to get my chest/arms/hips in sync and now I'm hitting the ball great again. If you can afford it, get a lesson when you are having swing problems. Heck, even get one from time to time when you are hitting fairly well. Having that extra set of eyes to look at your swing can make a world of difference with the smallest adjustments. /end rant

What he does off the course has no affect on what I think of him as a golfer unless he kills someone or does some really really terrible thing. Cheating on his wife is pretty common among the world's most famous athletes. Nothing new.

What do an SUV and a golf ball have in common? Tiger can't drive either of them straight.

Depends on the lie and how I'm hitting that day but more than likely no if I had a 1 stroke lead or something. You saw what happened to Tin Cup. Aside from the cool hole out for 12, he lost the tournament. Woopty do. Not worth it.

Will you guys stop looking up Q-school info and crap like that please? Or at the very least keep the information to yourselves? I don't want to know who wins the show based on the digging around you do to find out ahead of time for yourself. I like to speculate on it and be surprised by the show, not have the show ruined by your detective work.

Just came across this on CNN http://www.cnn.com/2009/US/12/01/woo...ial/index.html

Ya I noticed the grass was in focus too. It was my cell phone camera and I snapped the pic quickly before driving off in the cart.

You bet it did. Most pure shot I've hit w/ that club since I got it like 2 weeks ago.

Driver 7 iron into that hole lol. I also had a good one on 18 today it was 464 had 81 in. The tee mark however was a tad off center on that one. But ya I've seen the tee mark on a club before off center, I meant to say one that was perfectly centered like that. It just blew me away seeing it not only perfectly horizontally lined up but vertically.

So I was playing The Bridges today w/ my buddy Adam and it was incredibly windy all day. We step up to the 10th hole which is a 558 par 5 dead down wind. I've played the last several holes dead into the wind so I'm gonna give it a rip on this hole to make up for it. I poke one right down the neck of the fairway and I end up having 196 in. So I look at my driver after I hit the shot because it felt great and this is what I see on the face of the club. That was so cool seeing the tee in the middle of the face with it stopping right at the sweet spot. Has anyone else ever seen this before? I've seen a ball imprint a lot on the club face from grass or dirt or whatever but I've never seen the tee imprint on the face of a club like that.

There were rumors last week of Tiger having an affair but none of them were confirmed. I wonder if Elin was just pissed at Tiger cuz she's been hearing about all these rumors and he just got fed up with it and said he was going for a drive. Hit the gas too hard cuz he was pissed and then fish tails and hits the hydrant then tree. I don't know how often Tiger actually drives so maybe he just wasn't prepared for the responsiveness of the gas pedal lol.

I'm watching right now and Blake is pissing me off and I just can't believe his reactions to shit. Hes such a lil bitch.
