  1. Hello all. I am creating a Christmas list and I am in need of a new 56 degree wedge. I am thinking of trying something new and I have seen adds and many great reviews on these two "smaller" companies. I don't think Scratch is that small, but I haven't heard of Fourteen before. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had experience with either of these wedges. Price is not a major issue, but preferbly something around $100. I don't need any customization, just a clean looking wedge with some badass grooves, and about 10* or more of bounce Thanks for all replies. Happy holidays. -Whitey
  2. I would agree 100%. I had a scotty cut down to 32.5 inches, because I feel when my hands fall down to a comfortable position, thats where I want the end of my putter to be. A shorter putter will cut weight, so I reccommend lead tape if you find it too light, but I think shorter putter makes medium to short length putts much easier and long length lags more accurate. If all else fails and I can't sink any, I go to a 31 inch Odyssey that always works. Best of luck.
  3. Okay, okay I know I just created a new thread on the 907D2, but Iv'e got another one for you!!!! the new(er) 909D3. I like the idea of a 440cc clubhead, just because there are times 460 just looks a little too big. Everyone told me that the 907 wasn't too successful partially due to the high spin rate, and that was completely obvious to me, as I would carry a drive 264 and the total distance would be 267 . Anyways I hit the D3 a couple times, and I got a medium trajectory, which I like, and actually got some roll, which I also like. I figured that I must spin the ball alot (hence the 3 yard roll with the 907), and that I 909D3 might provide a little more distance on the ground for me. (comfortable swingspeed= 98-99. 600 yard swingspeed= about 104) I'm still young (14) and have some growing to do (I HOPE), so I think the low spin driver will suit me well. I currently use 9*iMix FT-9 w/ Graf. ProLaunch Blue 65R, and IMO I would rate it a mid spin mid launch driver. Does anyone own/have experience with the 909D3? Reccommend Voodoo over Diamana (would go stiff. i like diamana never hit voodoo) Thanks for replies. happy holidays.
  4. Yes you must be correct, I think I was mixing the 907 for the 905. Anyways, I hit the 907D2 with a Diamana Blueboard today, and it was really nice, and I was hitting it 10 yards farther than my FT-9, i think due to the reg vs. stiff shaft. I really liked it, and it was only $87, and it had some mild chatter, but nothing affecting the performance. I also hit the 910 today, and that thing was just amazing. It was a 9.5 D3 with the RIP stiff, but it wasn't any longer than the 907 that I compared it to. I personally, enjoyed the 907, and for $87, why not right?
  5. I second. These wedges are amazing. Spin is incredible with my 60*.. I've had it for a year and can still spin back a 30 yard shot 3 feet or so. Anyways, they are heavy compared to my Vokey and Z TP, so maybe they will fit you perfectly. Definately try them out. Mack Daddy grooves are stoooopid.
  6. Anyone have any experience with this driver, or a thorough review? Looks really nice at adress, and they are cheap as all get out on eBay. I don't ever recall hitting one, but have heard from people that still think this is Titleist's best driver ever produced.....? I think I would want a 9.5 stiff. Thanks for all replies.
  7. I recently recieved some 710 AP2's (3-PW) from my dad, and after 2 weeks, they are frickin amazing. Theyve got stock S300's in them, and they are so solid. I can work the ball easily from either direction. They look similar to blades, but play much more forgiving, and I would reccommend them to mid-low handicappers. My coach bent some clubs 2-5 degrees flat, which scared me a lot, but he was amazed how "jacked-up" the lie angles were. Anyway's, they are customized to fit my swing, and they are sick.
  8. i like the top flite D2 Feels the most, out of the
  9. Hello all. I recently purchased a Best of 2008 headcover, and there are many random symbols on the headcover. I was wondering if anyone could link or post what each symbol means or stands for, that would be greatly appreciated. I get that each symbol stands for a different tournament. Thank you.
  10. Anyone have experience with this driver? I hit a 9.5 with the stock stiff and it was deadly. I'm intersted to see what you think.
  11. Thank you everyone for the posts. I was looking up Graffalloy Pro Launch Red's on eBay and I can get one here shipped for 24$, and that is a great deal in my mind. I was wondering if there is any other pieces that I need to buy for my coach to install it on my club (Burner 18* 5 wood), or can I just hand him the shaft and pay for the service? Oh and what is the Ben Sayer deal with these shafts???? Is this better/worse than a different Pro Launch Red??? Thanks.
  12. Thanks for all the responses. Sounds like the immediate two shafts I should look into are the Graffaloy Pro Launch Red and the UST Proforce V2 shafts. I have the Pro Launch Blue on my driver, and I like the characteristics of it, so I'm going to put the Graffaloy Pro Launch Red #1 on my list, without hitting either shafts. I have seen many fairway woods with the V2 shaft so I'm guessing it is a nice piece. I will talk to my coach tommorow about it, and post what he says. I'm eager to be able to go after a FW without it sailing wherever it wants. Any other shafts I should put on my list??? Any immediate differences between the Graffaloy Pro Launch Red and the UST Proforce V2 shafts?? (I would go with a stiff shaft.)
  13. wow ive never heard anyone hit a 64 over 50 yards. sure didnt think that was possible. a 58 is about as lofted as you should go IMO. you can always play it up in your stance and work with 75%, 50%, 25% swings. But maybe you can hit a 64 that long and need it. play the clubs that you need and that make sense to you.
  14. woah check this out. 3 hrs left. thats an amazing deal right now http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Odyssey-Blac...item2a0b67ad5e
  15. I would go with the Odyssey as I think they make nice mallet putters. I like the black finish better than the gold, and I think the Del Mar is a little bit chunkier than the Odyssey. I had a White Ice #9 and I loved the shape of the head and the flow of the neck. Truth is, you can't go wrong with either one. I would vote for the Odyssey.
  16. do you need a 64????
  17. Alright well I don't ever use my 5 wood off of the tee. I don't use it for getting home on par 5's, just on long par 4's. I play at Torrey Pines, which is usually pretty firm and you get good roll. I was thinking asking people to reccommend a low trajectory because I don't carry a 3 wood, and I could use a little bit more distance, and I hit my 5 wood waayyyy up in the air. I carry 14 clubs, so I don't wish to pick up a 3 wood, and I like the head on the '07 Burner, so I thought I would just get a shaft upgrade. Also, the current shaft on my 5 wood is 50 grams, but it was cut down so I'm sure it is much lighter. It is way to light and I would like a heavier shaft. Thanks for your response. It's appreciated.
  18. Hello. I'm looking to upgrade my shaft in my '07 Burner 5-Wood (18*). I am a junior and I bought it about a year ago with the stock senior shaft and cut it down about an inch and a half. I have since grown and became a 2 hcap, and need to upgrade to a stiff shaft. I am posting to ask if anyone could reccommend a stiff shaft that produces lower ball flight and low-mid spin. I've never done this before, but I only want to spend about 80$. I would love a high quality shaft that I can use for a long time. Any suggestions??? And BTW I would have my coach do it and he gives me 15% off everything and knows what he is doing. Thanks for all responses.
  19. Redwood Anser??? For how much?
  20. That is the sexiest looking back possible to achieve. Maaayybbbeeeee a blade putter though ;)
  21. I like the original burner woods. If you like the hybrid, I think you will enjoy the woods aswell. I would also look into the TP model if you want more accuracy and playability. I have no complaints with my 5 wood, just that I need a shaft upgrade. On a sidenote I also really liked the R9 fairway woods. Let us know what you choose!
  22. i agree. I made a dramatic switch, as i went from senior graphite shafts with the Burner XD irons that play about a club and a half strong, so i lost a lot of distance, which i understand, and gained tons more accuracy. I think it will take me a little bit to get used to going after my irons, but i completely agree that when you go at these with a harder swing, you get better results. I am so stoked with these irons.
  23. I just played my first round with my new 710 AP2's today aswell. I played the front nine at Torrey Pines North, and the first time I ever got to hit an iron was on hole #4, where I landed my 6 iron 3 inches to the left of the cup, and ran it out about 6 feet. These irons are amazing and feel like cutting butter when you hit one flush. The V-Grooves are very different out of the rough though, but the club still feels great when you take a full cut at it. Ended up shooting 37 (+1) with a double, which is really weak. I am so happy with my clubs I can't wait until tommorow when I get to play with them again! Cheers!
  24. I am back to the Titleist Pro V1's. I was with the Pentas for a while but they flew a little too low and didn't stop as much as the V1's. I guess I'm just a Pro V1 man..
  25. You were probably getting 10 yards more because of the stronger loft on the I15's. 7 Iron Lofts: Ping I15: 33* Titleist AP2: 35* I hope that you took into account how the two irons felt side-by-side. You shouldn't go off of pure distance, as lofts can be corrupt. I hope that you are enjoying your I15's and that they provide confidence and great shots. Best of luck man.
