I just emailed the company. I will post their reply here.

Thanks for your replies. It's probably a club that has a unit cost of about $5 and costs them about $5 to ship. They are probably making $20 per 'free' club they 'give' away.

I played in a charity golf tournament this past weekend and won certificate for a hybrid club simply by hitting the ball onto the green of a Par 3 hole. The certificate is from Nizzard.com and the club is an SL-1000 Hybrid. There is a $29.95 shipping and handling fee. The certificate states the club has a $149 value, but I have my doubts. It seems like a promotional gimmick. I tried searching the web and there is literally nothing about this club. I personally don't think the club is worth the $29.95 shipping, but I'd like to know your thoughts.

With that swing speed I would think you should have an extra stiff shaft with a high kick point. That may help reduce backspin.

I'm pretty sure the squirrels are taking my ball when I can't find it. It's a conspiracy!!!

I spent over $14,000 on softball bats in the past 12 months...I hear you. I also sell them and buy new ones like you do with your golf clubs. I'm actually up about $1,000 because I know how to find good deals and then sell for higher later (like the stock market). Now that I'm getting into golf, I sold a bunch of softball bats to buy the MP57s in my sig. How much for your driver?...

For those of you who were dying to know...I chose Mizuno MP57s with Project X Rifle 6.0 (non-flighted) shafts. Thanks for your help.

1. Win the Masters If I fail at #1, these will be my 'back-up' goals: 2. Establish a handicap index 3. Practice more than I play 4. Play an entire round with only one ball

Amare was called for a flagrant foul on this play...I don't see it.

Nice work. I like the photos.

My swing speed is 115 with a launch angle of 10*. I'm having an Aldila NV-65-X put on my driver. Is this going to be stiff enough. I'm a little worried that it won't be.

I am also on a quest for new irons , but I'm not as experienced as you. I'm looking to get into the game more seriously. I definitely want a 'tour' style iron. I will work on honing my skills to be worthy of swinging that type of iron. Your 2-4 are on my list. I have to admit...I wasn't thinking about Mizuno irons until I saw how many people on here rave about them. If I could get some MP57s with a tour stiff shaft I would probably jump at it...but so far I can only find them with DG S300s.

Yes...I played there once about 15 years ago. There was one hole that was so short I teed off with my putter. I didn't know about the good prices on clubs or the demo days. I will definitely check it out. Thanks.

I have a couple of RC10s that are at least 20 years old.

OK...thanks for clarifying. The Red is the right one for me then.

My budget is somewhat flexible. I can see myself spending $499 to $699. If I really think it's worth it, I will go higher.

Thanks guys...this was great information and just what I was looking for.

Yeah...the black pearl looks awesome. I don't even have a handicap established, but I want a 'tour' type club for the feedback it will give me. Ultimately I think a 'tour' type club will make me a better player...but what do I know...it could be a misconception I have.

Here are some of the irons I'm considering: Cleveland CG7 Tour Mizuno MP58 Ping i15 Taylor Made R9 TP Titleist AP1 Titleist AP2 Are there any of these that I should not bother with or any that I should add to the list? Also, how do I know if they are forged or cast...and why are forged clubs better?

These are great suggestions. I definitely plan on trying out some irons and having a fitting. I am so unfamiliar with the latest products that I don't even know where to start. Can you suggest 4 or 5 irons that I should try? Sorry for my ignorance.

I'm going to sound like a major noob, but here goes... I started playing golf for about 20 years ago, but I have never taken the sport seriously . That is about to change as I am looking to get more into it. I played baseball in college and have a powerful golf swing, but it is not a very consistent one. I have taken a few lessons recently and the pros tell me that my biggest problem is that I have a decent swing but the wrong clubs. I had a club fitting and it was recommended that I get a set of irons with tour stiff shafts. My current irons are Spalding Molitor Regular Flex Steel shafts (old cheapies). My Callaway Big Bertha driver has a 55g shaft. It is labeled stiff, but aparently it is not...what do I know?? My driver: I carry my driver about 280 (on average) Swing speed is about 105 Ball speed is about 160 Launch angle is 10.0 Spin Rate is 2650 My 7 iron: I carry my 7 iron 160 Recommended lie on 7 iron is 61.5 (I think that is pretty standard) Recomendations for shafts are Stiff Flex Dynamic Gold X100, Project X 6.5. and KBS tour Stiff I'm 5'10 and 210lbs. Even though I haven't posted much, I've read quite a few threads to research this and I'm leaning towards player irons. I want to become fundamentally sound and I could care less what I score right now. It looks like Mizuno has a big following here. I'm looking for recommendations on irons and shafts. Thanks!!!

This is good info here. I am just starting to take golf more seriously and have been wondering the same thing. I am leaning toward the player irons.

I am an optometrist.

I've had only one set of irons (10 years), but now that I'm getting into golf more I'm looking at getting a new set.

I just bought the TP Red...I haven't used them yet though. I was under the impression that the Red had less spin than the Black...but it looks like I am wrong. If I hit the ball far, but with limited control (lots of hooks and occasional slices) would I be better off with the Black? I'm just getting into golf more so I will be asking a lot of questions here. Thanks for your help.
