The only thing you gotta worry about with cutting clubs down is swing weight. As for stiffness of a shaft I have dabbled with all sizes in my irons and could never tell a diffence in flex. With my drivers I have all sized also, one at 45.5,44.5 and 43.5. With graphite you usually can tell that your shaft gets soft. So with my new driver that i cut to 43.5 i took 3/4 of the tip and the rest off the butt end and its perfect. Though when you cut the tip i would start with a weaker flex as cutting the tip will definetly make the shaft stiff) so now my regular flex shaft plays at a stiff flex from me cutting the tip of a Regular flex. but you should be fine with an inch of your driver and woods by just hacking it off the butt end and placing a little leadtape or tungsten powder to replace the SW or take it to the shop and have them hotmelt or install tips. For irons if you are taking of an inch i would probably cut 1/4 of the tip and 3/4 off the butt end to maintain the current flex. but its all dabbling. No one who i have talked to who are club builders can tell me any concrete information to figure out how the flexes will work. Its costly if it doesn't work but man is it fun to build clubs.

I think people lay the staff bag on its side to fit in a push cart.

To expand the subject even more I want the whole Golf channel to put out more quality shows and series. The paid programming during the day needs to go. More instructional shows like the golf fix. maybe like a Golf channel Crib' s series lol. Ultimatley i wanna know whats going on with the played on and off the course so there personality can shine. Along with reviews of what is coming out from companies. They have the right shows on right now i beleive but i just want more of it.

about storing them. its cold out here in michigan and i keep them in the garage. Think that could be bad? should i bring them inside?

Go Go Nike VR split cavities!!!! allow you to work the ball and gives you forgiveness. I would definitely go to a pro shop and see if you can hit some of those.

Dont make the mistake of many by trying to coach her. Your relationship will suffer a lot if you do. Get some instructional DVDs on basics and maybe a lesson for her. And let her ASK YOU questions on what shes doing wrong. as for clubs when i looked at them for my wife there was no cheap ones around.

My team is Dirty Bird Special

Thats awesome that you have that relationship with her. I am a golf addict and have been for about a year. I sleep, eat, drink,shit golf. when i typically say something about golf to her i get told to shut the f*ck up about golf. So maybe she will change but probably not. Im walking next year instead of taking a cart to get my love handles gone. She is pregnant right now and im going to drag her to walk to when i play to work off the fat. haha maybe she will learn to appreciate it.

yea stricker is letting me down i thought it was a sure thing.. maybe he will pull through i am glad that G-lover is playing well. Sean O'hair is playing solid. paul casey is kind of struggling =/ ive noticed both stewart cink and G-lover are playing Nike VR split cavities now. instead of the CCi's

My first thought would see where your weight is at. make sure your weight is on your front leg. When your weight is on your back leg you tend to hit behind the ball and hit balls fat.

This year i am also taking it up seriously. I have a membership for this year and im eager to start playing. I swing the club and chip balls and putt to keep in practice. I would love to see how far i could go with the game. Its all i think about these days. I even have my 17 month old son with a club in his hands ha-ha. Ive known 2 professional athletes in my life so far. 1 of them who gave it up due to poor pay in the US ( soccer) but it made me think that if I put in the man hours he did i could of honestly been there with him. So it kind of makes this dream seem a little more obtainable... kind of... I think we can all agree Golf is like no other sport. It is the hardest out of all of them i believe. My only concern is time. full time dad and student with another child due in June. By then I will be applying to the nursing program at my college which seems unlikely that i will be getting in the first time around since i know 2 people who have been denied due to being full so if that happens my situation really doesn't change from now seeing i will probably take more classes until i get accepted to the program. I am lucky to have great mom and mother-in-laws that will watch my child for me during the day maybe a couple times a week to sneak out and play with my father or father in law. So if i don't get accepted and i can realistically shoot in the low 80's high 70's by winter of next year then i might just give it a real shot of getting on a plan to do some tournaments and such.

Cough* Global Warming*Cough

I usually swing the club in the house like a PW or my Leadbetter swing training aid. No incidents have ever came from it except for today. I murdered my bookshelf. I dont know how i didnt notice it was right there but it is now missing a big chunk out of it... needless to say the wife is not to happy. I know im not the only one whose done something like this share your stories!!!

Thanks for all the input guys i really appreciate it.

It really depends on many factors. Wrist height from floor. your posture at address. and if your fitter is really good he will look at the lag in the club to see what the club head is doing at impact im 5'6 with a 32" wrist height and not only did i cut down my club but i needed a -3 degree lie adjustment. i would say as long as the lie of the club is correct you could just choke down on ure clubs like AK does. but if your lie isnt correct you will do funky things with the ball when u make a solid stroke.

I would look at your current game and ask what you want to do with it or how do you think you could lower it. I am sure you know all the club types and what there good for. Could being able to work the ball improved your scores?

It seems since it started snowing ive been glued to this site and golfwrx is there any other like these ones you guys look at?

I cant really answer your question on the price since i have not researched what they usually go for. I bought all my nikes off Ebay for pretty cheap, my Irons for 525, 3 and 5 wood for 100 (used) , and my wedge set for 118.00 ( felt like i hit the lottery.) So after i got all my clubs for 2010 i just went to dicks sporting goods and got them fitted their. Every pro shop should have a person who is certified to fit someone to their clubs. I would just call around and ask what the process is. My process was taking my measurements and watching my swing. we determined we could cut i believe an inch off my clubs because i am only 5'6 with a 31" height from the floor to my wrist. So he cut them all down and regrippied them ( you'll have to regrip your clubs if they cut them down which cost money depending on the grip you have.) I then went in the next day to see where i was hitting the ground with my club at impact. I needed a Lie adjustment of -3 degrees because my toe was sticking up at address and such. but i am now fitted and im ready to hit the course whenever this snow goes away.

umm... hello NIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the past i would have to say Titleist But the new stuff Nike is putting out and knowing how much money they spend in the R & D department they are the best i believe. I cant wait for the Nike Method putter to come out.

Swing through the ball not at it. at address where is your shaft at? are you near your left thigh or centered. im not teacher or pro but maybe try and over do it like lean the shaft way forward to get the feeling of not breaking your wrist. an exercise drill with stretch bands is hook it to something maybe waste high and make a swing motion and driver the back of your hand towards your target which would stop wrist break down. just my thoughts.

Yea i am thinking how how it could be used as a beneficial tool. The only way i really came up with is by making your normal swing with your actual golf club and swinging it then grabbing the wii remote and making the same swing and seeing if the head is in the right place and see if your hand and wrist are in the right place.

It feels like a lightning bolt just hit the tip of you know where...

How were you hitting the ball before? If you were hitting good consistent shots with what you were doing why change? I just watched tee it up with tiger and one of the great point he made is there are so many ways to play the game. So if something works for you stick with it.

I have been plagued by this somewhat stabbing pain during or after i play a round of golf or hit some balls. its about 4 inches down from my hip bone and is like a stabbing radiating pain that goes down my thigh on the right side. I am thinking about going to the doctor to see whats up but i thought i would ask here first, especially since i am going to walking this year.

Its winter here. So I cant go play on the course. What I am wondering is does anyone use this as a practice tool? or do you think the game is too unrealistic?
