I have me BELOVED Ping G15 for sale. I gamed this one for 2 years, and it absolutely changed my game. I went from struggling off of the tee to finding almost every fairway overnite. There are many reviews with the same results posted all over the board and online in general. This driver is in EXCELLENT shape. There are no real paint blemishes, top line is perfectly clean, no major shaft scratches. There is one small scratch (~1/8")in the paint around the 1:30 position in the picture of the top of the club. I had no idea it was there until I looked for it to make sure I posted a real representation of the club. It is not deep, and I cannot get a good picture of it. There is a bit of paint wear shown in the picture towards the back of the sole. The sole looks much worse in the picture from the flash than it actually is. The headcover is in fantastic shape. No rips, etc. I stand behind my sales, and if you are not happy I am not happy, and I will take care of you! $130 paypal & shipped She's for sale because I demoed an I15 driver last week and fell in love with it.

It is sold

I have a question about GlobalGolf. If I go ahead and send them some clubs for trade-in, can I wait until they have one of those specials where they add XX% to your trade in value and use my credit then? I have some stuff just sitting here, and I would like to go ahead and get it out to them, and then buy a laser rangefinder whenever they have one of the trade in specials...... Thanx, Ron

I love mine (2010) with the woode top, but I think I would also like the 14 way divider. As stated above, it is a bit heavy for carrying often. I think they are great looking bags. I get compliments on mine. Ron

One of the best things about Golflogix for me is that I can download a course on the tee box. If I forget to do it beforehand with freecaddie, it is usually too much of a hassle to worry about it. Also, unless freecadddie has changed, all the courses were mapped by users. I have found quite a few errors in the local courses. So much so that I just created them myself. $40 a year is too much, but $20 is not a big deal. Ron

I hear what you are saying, but remember, if it weren't for that big box retailer you would not even know how much you like that fancy new putter. I support the Mom and Pop's as much as anybody, but to go out of your way to not buy at one of the big guys after spending time in their shop swinging a new EXPENSIVE putter is a bit extreme in my opinion. Guys like you and me, and I bet a few members here draw their incomes (weekly checks) from these big guys! I'm not trying to bash you, please don't take it that way. I am just giving my honest opinion. I myself just spent an hour and a half at an Edwin Watts hitting lots of irons to make my decision for what I wanted. I ended up ordering my new set from somewhere else that was a lot cheaper. I happily paid the EW for their 'fitting' time ~$30, and would have NO problem purchasing something from them that was not priced 20-25% over the competitors! To my knowledge the SC putters are about the same price no matter where you buy them. Ron

Thank you!

I bought these clubs brand new from Callaway a few years ago. I have played quite a few rounds with them, but they are still in good shape. They have plenty of life left in them! They have newer dual cord grips. I have finally decided that they are WAY too stiff for my swing speed! $125 + shipping. paypal preferred please see my feedback on eBay with the same username: rcubed3r you can message me from eBay to verify that I am one and the same! Thank you, Ron North Carolina

I would hope it is marketed as a 'draw' wedge because of the spin they want you to think it imparts, like a billiard draw. Ron

I just signed up myself! I tried Fantasy Football this year, and really enjoyed it, Ron

One of these, I believe: http://www.drummondgolf.com.au/golf-equipment/Eagles-and-Birdies-Arrowhead-Carry-Bag.html

Quote: -How do stand bags hold up in carts? Does that mess with the stand mechanism at all? I have an Ogio Grom that I love. It is designed to be a cart and a stand bag. It is a little heavier than a regular stand bag, but only by a couple of pounds. It is not very noticeable. You can easily adjust the amount of extra balls, etc. you carry to make up the difference. It causes no issues in a cart. It rides just fine! Quote: -How reliable are the stand mechanisms? No problems whatsoever with the stand. One of the legs of my old hoofer would occasionally get tangled up, but I have never had that issue with the Ogio. Quote: -Do smaller openings create problems? My old cart bag doesn't have full-length dividers, so maybe this would be less of a problem. It also seems like stand bags are shorter than cart bags and more of the club sticks out and they're more accessible. Is this true? I have not had any issues with the opening on my Grom. It has the Woode top. I have never owned a true cart bag, but there are no issues with accessibility of the clubs. Quote: -Which manufacturers would you recommend? I've been looking at Callaway, Sun Mountain, Titleist (apparently made by Sun Mountain?), and Ogio. I like my Ogio Grom very much, It works like it should, and I originally liked it because of it's looks. Win/Win for me! Ron

Nothing! But I hit quite a few different iron sets, and it looks like I have decided on a new set of burner 2.0s for my bag come spring..... Ron

Cover them with canola oil and get the fire as hot as possible for an hour and a half or more. Wait a minute, I think that is what your supposed to do with a new smoker........ I like the idea of washing and drying the grips, otherwise just go and hit them! Ron

I normally just don't play in bad weather conditions. I have had some of my better rounds when I am not feeling my best, though! Ron

I was able to go hit some clubs indoors over the last couple of days. I hit the Burner 2.0s, R9s, Cleveland (can't remember the model number), Callaway X-22s, and Callaway Diablo Edge. All of these were hit indoors, and all with regular steel shafts. I was completely unimpressed with the Callaway offerings. The X-22s didn't feel good to me wherever I hit them on the clubface. The Diablo Edges felt 'buttery' no matter where I hit them on the club face. I had many hits that I had to look at the tape to see if I had hit it towards the toe or heel. They just had no feedback for me. I hit a few shots WAY out on the toe, and could only tell because of the shaft reaction, not the feel from the face of the club. I did hit some Diablo (forged?) over the summer that I liked a lot. I need to move to an easier to hit club, though! I did not care for the Clevelands. The R9s were OK, but I had trouble finding the sweet spot on them. For whatever reason, I kept hitting towards the toe with them. I hit two sets at two different stores and had the same results. The burner 2.0s felt good to me. I was surprised at how much physically longer the club felt in my hands, even though they are only marginally longer than the other clubs. It really doesn't bother me, though, I hit a lot of shots choked a little anyway. I was able to get into a groove with the 2.0s that I could not get into with the other clubs. Once i found the sweet spot, I was able to hit it fairly consistently. When I didn't, I knew where I'd missed on the face without looking. Now, I am looking for my best deal, and it looks like globalgolf is going to get my business since I have some trade-ins I can send them. Next question -- I am pretty sure I was hitting the TaylorMade Steel shafts, but they also offer the Precision Flighted Rifle 5.0. Common sense says to get the TMs that I hit and liked inside, but I wonder about the PFRs.... Any thoughts? Thanx, Ron

bump for more insight!!!!

Does that mean that you have to trade your club in my then, or use a trade in credit by then? In other words, if I sent all my stuff in for trade and had a $200 credit, would I be allowed to get the extra 35% when I used that credit when a sale was going on? If I send my trades today, and end up not buying before 1/11/11, but I do buy when the next 35% bonus is in affect, would I get that extra credit then? Sorry if this is hard to follow, my Ambien is kicking in. Ron

I love mine. I grab 2 and hit them to an empty lot right in front of our house. I'll then walk over, and hit the two of them back. I'll do this for at least an hour every time I get a chance. It beats the treadmill on most days. I hit my 8 iron around ~80 yards with them. They do exaggerate the spin of the ball, and ANY amount of even barely perceivable wind will play a major role in your ball flight. I have hit them into of our cars numerous times from ~80 yards, and they have caused absolutely no damage. They are well worth the price! Ron

Here is my story: I am a decent weekend golfer, better than most of the guys I play with. I try to play a lot during the warmer months, but seldom play when the weather is not really good (so I am not playing right now). I play to about a 12 when I am playing a lot, with my strengths being fairways hit, and keeping my ball in play. I play MANY rounds without losing any balls. I hit beautiful drives with nice controllable draws, but only average about 215 off the tee on the fly. I am currently hitting a 9.5 G15 with a stiff shaft. I occasionally play some good iron shots, but my iron striking is by far the worst part of my game. When I miss-hit an iron, my 'towards-it' is normally pretty good, I just lose TONS of distance. I am able to work my shots when needed. I do believe that my ball striking is decent, especially considering how well I have always hit my drivers, and I SHOULD be a better golfer. Like all of us, I need to practice my short game, but I really think I need some irons that match up to my game a little better. I believe one of my biggest problems is my iron set. I bought a set of Callaway X-14 Pro irons a few years ago after hitting many different irons on the range. I had the opportunity to hit the X-14 pros with quite a few different shafts, and experienced the best feel, and the best control with a X-Stiff rifle shaft. The problem is, I DO NOT, and never have had a high swing speed. My 7 iron distance with these clubs is only about 145 yards, and even a few years ago, 152 was about my limit. I draw the ball (sometimes too much), and pull the ball with these clubs when not on target. As well as I hit my driver, I feel that I should hit more greens with my irons, and that my current irons are holding me back. I have been back and forth with what I might purchase, but I think I have narrowed it down to either a set from gigagolf, or a used set from globalgolf, either the TM Burner 2.0s or the R9s. I am leaning towards the R9s. I like the look better, and all of the reviews that I have read seem to match up almost perfectly with my wants in an iron. I plan on getting a set with regular steel shafts. I would appreciate the TM haters not blasting me here, but I do not mind a suggestion on another club. I am not a fan of the newer Callaway or Nike offering. I am looking for a GI club, but not really a SGI. I don't consider myself old, but I am realistic in the fact that my game will not change drastically before I give up! I don't need another set of irons that are hard to hit. What are you guys opinions/experiences with the Burner 2.0s or the R9s? Thank you, Ron

I wasn't trying to be unhelpful stating that you should google it. A lot of forums frown upon posting links to non-supporting vendors, and I wasn't sure if it was a no-no to do so here. Merry Christmas! Ron

OK, I see it now! Thanx, Ron
