i know this is an old thread but i figure i would chime in for future "search" reasons.... I have been using the Pure Spin SW for 8 years and I LOVE it...Like it so much that I have added another 2 PS wedges in my bag... they are not really a "gimmick" ..People like to say they are a gimmick club because of their infomercials.... But they forget that golf infomercials were unheard of when these came out...Pure Spin pretty much kick started the golf gear informercials. Anyway, I can give you some input from someone that is STILL using these wedges today...If you buy them cause you see the pro backspin the ball in the commercial and you think your gonna do it without the proper technique, then you are foolish and only kidding yourself..... But If your looking for a REALLY good set of wedges for under $60, these are GREAT!! These might not create the back spin like the commercial shows, but with a good Callaway or titliest ball it will stop the ball on the green everytime!! They are perfectly legal an in my personal opinion, these are worth every penny they cost.

In my personal opinion, If your looking for a hybrid set of clubs, for $300 you could buy a set of barely used Adams clubs , like the AOS 3, AOS4 or AOS7 for that price and you will be very pleased... I found my set , like new on Ebay and won the auction for $189.00 .. When I got them I hated the 3,4,5 cause they were too big and I sold them back on ebay for $80. ..So I ended up paying $109 for the Adams 6-pw... It has been the best hundred bucks i ever spent... I recommend going to your local golf store and hitting a few different clubs to see what you like....If you have a Dick's Sporting Goods anywhere near you, go and check out the line of Adams

I have a Mizuno T.P. Mills putter that i have been using off & on for many years but i find that I always put better with putters that have the double bend shaft...So rather than buy a new putter again, I though it would be a great idea just to buy a double bend shaft for my putter. Unfortunately the guy that does my club work has told me that the original shaft is flared at the tip and the one on the new shaft i bought is not (he was correct , i can clearly see that).. My question is this... Do they make a a double bend shaft that is "flared" so I can put it on my Mizuno?? My club maker says no, I'm just looking for a second opinion. With all the new tecnology and designs, I find it odd that they dont make it possible to change the shaft on a putter to something different. Any input would be appreciated...thanks! Pete

That's a nice looking grip..especially for $3.00 ...

Well, I finally scored a great deal on a FT-IQ Tour with a Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki 63xct stiff shaft.... I had been waiting and waiting to see if i could find a deal on the Imix but i got this one for $65.00 so i couldn't pass it up. Can't wait to try this bad boy out. Thanks for all the input guys

Best answer so far!

How bout you up that insurance policy and then kill the bitch.... take the insurance money and not only buy new clubs, but go on a week long golf resort vacation........did i just say that out loud????

would you guys recommend the imix version, since shafts are readily available on ebay?? sounds like a pretty cool idea to let the consumer actually swap out shafts

how bout something like.... " man i really need a new set of clubs... think i'm gonna put mine up for sale to help pay for a new set"

Awesome! Thanks for the answer.. so I am correct in choosing the FT-IQ because i am looking for a more "forgiving" driver...I really like the sqare head and hit the Nike 5900 REALLY well, but I can't bring myself to buy Nike clubs...not really sure why, but i just don't want to buy Nike and everyone has been telling me the FT-IQ is a GREAT cllub

well, this is not really answering my question..LOL... but how much and what is the difference in the Tour opposed to the regular FT-IQ??

I am looking at the Callaway Ft-IQ but I have noticed that there are many versions of the FT .. there is the FT-IQ , FT-5 , FT-9 , FT-IZ is there a really big difference from the IQ from the others or is the IQ just the "most forgiving" ?? You'll have to forgive me if this is a dumb or worn out question, but I haven't bought anything Callaway in over 8 years , so I don't know to much about their line of clubs... I just know that the FT-IQ is comparable to the Nike Sumo 5900 as far as forgiveness

Nah, I cut 2" off my Mizuno T.P. Mills and it wasn't that bad at all...Actually has made the putter just perfect.. I been trying out a bettinardi but i think i'm going back to the T.P.M

Is anyone using a Callaway upro go gps??? I can possibly pick one up slightly used for $50 and wanted some user feedback instead of online reviews.. right now i use my Droid phone, but the little Callaway unit looks pretty nice and I wouldnt have to worry about draining my phone battery.

I cut down my Mizuno T.P. Mills 2 years ago and the old guy that does my grips had this grip there that made me chuckle and i put it on as a joke and it ended up being my favorite putter grip to date.... it's called Neverbend and has a suction cup on top of the grip so you can just flip your club upside down and grab your ball out of the hole without bending down..LOL.. we call it the lazy man's grip... but look, forget about the stupid suction cup, the grip its self is AWESOME, it's extremely soft and provides great feel (at least for me) I would put another one on in a heatbeat... My friends still joke about the suction cup and every once in a while i still pop the ball out with it to get a laugh, but if your looking for a good grip, don't leave the Neverbend out... I paid $12 for it and honestly it's worth every penny. Rockbottomgolf has them for $9.99 http://www.rockbottomgolf.com/neverb...AID=476075251#

Is Golfshot better than the Golf Logix app ?? same price but just wondering what the difference in capabilities are between the two,??? Also, for anyone that wants a very simple accurate free app for the drios, download the Freecaddie app... I have used it twice and it's pretty good considering its free

I believe that is the exact model I have

what do you mean by balanced?? The face on mine is Milled and the putter head has a weight kit for the head and another weight set for the grip

small businesses are closing everyday..... in my area alone, 3 different golf shops have closed their doors just in the past 6 months.... And I'm sure it's like this everywhere as small businesses are suffering in this econnomy

Same thing happened to me about 8 years ago..I made my first expensive purchase back then and bought a Mizuno T.P. Mills putter and my putting improved significantly... to this day i have never used anything but Mizuno Putters..Although I am about to try a Kirk Currie putter that was given to me.

Well from the research I have done, you actually have the newer version of his putters... He doesn't even have a website up anymore, although he still makes putters to order... The model I have was when he was making them for Wilson Staff.... Did you get a weight kit with yours?? if not, look on ebay, i have seen one or two on there for sale.... I can't say enough about the look and feel of these putters, I just cant comment on how well I put with it yet until I play and get the weight set how i like it..but I got a really good feeling about it...so good, that I have put my Mizuno Bettenardi BC3 up for sale.

Does anyone use or has used one of these?? I recently acquired one from a customer and it looks and feels amazing...Adjustable weights on the putter head and also a weight kit for the grip, so seems to be that you can really adjust this to each individual specific liking in weight. The milled face looks as good if not better than some of the high dollar putters on the market... I haven't got a chance to play with it yet , but looks like a really nice putter....Was just wondering if anyone is using one or has used one in the past.

My beater is a 1993 Toyota Corolla 5 speed 36mpg !!! I'm not into cars at all, don't even have a "dream car" but if cash was there I would probably buy the Audi R8. I rather ride my toys!!

it's only a "sweat shop" if the employees are FORCED to work there... most of them people are not only happy to have a job, but don't really care about the long hours. If you've never been to a poor country you could never understand. They don't cry about working overtime like we do here. They do it out of necessity. Should they get paid more? Sure why not, but considering that there is probably no other jobs they take what is offered. Just like anything else , the market dictates the price. It's sad to see people working for $2.00 /hour but then again, you have to understand how far that money gets them

maybe it's just me...but i enjoy when someone plays with my balls
