This putter is really nice, had one before, then went to a scotty and now BACK!

I've been Playing Golf for: 2 years My current handicap index or average score is: 4.3 My typical ball flight is: Draw Here is a video I took while playing a new course for the first time, shot a 78. It looks like my 3 and 4 iron is in the middle of my stance but its because of the angle my phone was propped up against the tee marker. Let me know of some suggestions. Lately after getting another set of VR Pro Combo irons, I have been hitting the ball very nicely . Videos:

I'll chime in! I have these wedges and have been playing them for about 2 months now and have found that they perform very nicely. One thing that I like about these clubs is that they have a fantastic sole grind that is very versatile in all conditions; firm, soft, tight, fairways, sand. Some people have complained that these offer no spin compared to the older groove patterns that were very aggressive to begin with but these offer great spin. I am coming from the VR Forged wedges that played the same in terms of sole grind and turf interaction but the Vrev wedges don't chew up golf balls and you still get really nice spin! I am currently using the 20XI-S, so I am getting great spin and have been able to stop balls on a dime with these wedges. I had about a 35 yard shot, hard-pan lie with dirt and played it with the face open with my 58, one hop and it stopped dead 10 in. from the pin. I have hit a couple of shots similar since then but it was really eye opening. Overall, great wedges, durable, feel great and have an amazing sole grind like I stated above....

What is your take on them? Only pros, scratch golfers, amateurs, or shouldn't be used at all? Since I ride all the time and I like having a lot of space for stuff like rain gear, sandals, gloves, balls, 910 wrench, tees, etc I finally got one and I only paid $99 for it! I think anyone can use these just like anyone can go out and buy all brand new TMAG or Nike gear or use 30 year old clubs but dress like Ricky Fowler. Anyways if you have one post a pic and why you bought it!

Just picked up this wonderful piece of equipment.. I love this thing, ALMOST as much as my 910 D3!

Hey guys I'm in some dire need of assistance. I recently changed my posture and grip, posture is taller, arms closer to my chest and body and my grip is like the hogan left hand grip and the right is more towards the right shoulder. I have heard that my right hand grip should be the way it is to help square the club face at impact. I usually miss right... I have also been having some trouble with my impact on my driver and its the only club I am catching the heel on quite a bit which is forcing more balls to the right as well. Let me know of some things I can work on at the range tomorrow! PS... I am NOT going to start changing up settings on my driver unless I need it flat or upright...

I went from a number of shafts. The ones I have benefited from the most are the Diamana Blueboard in my 3 wood and hybrid and of course the RIP Alpha shaft in my 910 D3. Gained about 25 yards consistently with my driver and with my 3wood and hybrid I have gained more accuracy in my shot dispersion. The feel I get from loading these two shafts are great and I won't switch until something can out do these shafts for me.

I had a chance to hit all of them and I really enjoyed hitting the 310. If I didn't play my current driver with the RIP alpha shaft cut to 44.25in. I would be hitting the Cleveland. My numbers were almost similar and the ball flight was great. I really liked the feel and sound of the 310 also and I prefer a smaller head driver to begin with and it really fit my eyes. If you really like the driver, I say go for it. I did get to demo the CG 16 Tour irons and I might switch to them next season, I may ask for some money for Christmas and my birthday. They felt amazing, similar to a forged club but not as soft as a Mizuno or Miura, etc.. The look was really nice and I had nothing but great things to tell the reps there at demo day. BTW, IMHO Cleveland has won brand of the year. They're woods, irons, wedges, putters even, all great...

I have played a Z star before and really liked it, it felt like the ProV1 in all aspects but it felt a little better off the driver and that is because I use Titleist woods.. I currently use the Zstar XV and really love it. Distance is very good and a couple of times I have to take it easier on my SS because this ball goes. Durability is alright, since it has the thinnest cover in golf, it will get scuffed. Overall I think... I switched to Srixon!

That seems like an odd find to me as well. Not too bad of a combo, the STR8 model didn't do too well with me but it was the shaft, it felt too board like. Hope it goes well!

Just picked up the older 4.5 version of this putter and I must say, I've always been attracted to the anser style head but the slant neck works a little better with my eye at address. Anyone play one of these putters? I think they're great for the price, I picked mine up for 70 at Golfsmith..

Here Here! For someone to go forward and tell the group that may not know about some course etiquette would be a good thing to do. I'll keep that in mind although I haven't had any situation like this.

It's easy for people who have an understanding of the game and etiquette that the game carries but its one thing to assume that a group ahead of you understands the etiquette in golf. I think you just have to have an open mind and not come the the assumption that others know the game and all it possesses. I've been behind a small and slow group before but they did say sorry and it was their first time to play the course after getting numerous lessons, plus they were from Japan and so the language barrier was there and all but I had respect for them still because not only are they trying to play a very difficult game, they had the manners of a golfer who understands "etiquette" to take the time to come to the words in English to say sorry. I do sympathize for your situation because I wouldn't like to be in your shoes either but just know that some people aren't always familiar with "simple golf etiquette"..

I recently got hired on at a local course in Austin and I can't wait. I am wanting to go into golf management after school so me gaining experience and a good course is going to be great. I'll get to practice all I want and play when I'm not working which my HC is going to go down the more and more I practice and put that into play on the course. Just curious on how many of you work at a course or resort and what are your benefits? Do you guys enjoy it?

I got fit for these balls after playing a ProV1 at a Bridgestone fitting event and I must say I am one who did NOT enjoy the switch. I played the B330-S for one round, 1st - ProV1- 82, 2nd - B330-S - 88(NO fun). Anyways, here is a quick overview. 1. Playability - I will probably award it 3 out of 5. I was able to work the ball but for some reason could NOT get the ball to check even when I had shavings of the ball in my wedges. Distance was pretty similar to the ProV1.. 2. Feel - 3/5 here, Not hard but not soft, there was a weird feeling compared to even cheaper balls that didn't have the softness I was wanting out of the ball and my SS is at around 107 with my driver. 3. Durability - 4/5. I was able to pretty much use the same ball for a long period of time while playing but until I really hit down on it and tried my hardest to get it to check it got shaved. So I did not really enjoy the Bridgestone route even when I tried the balls there at the event they seemed really good, so it was weird to spend the money on them and have 3 1/2 sleeves left and NOT want to even look at them. Anyone else go to Bridgestone balls and go back or was fitted for them and not like them?

All great sticks but for your HC I would say the Nike Combo Irons would provide the best workability and playability out of all of them. I am not saying that you can't work the ball with either the AP2 or X forged because you can but the Pro Combos do have three irons (8-PW with a low flight) that are blades and are the scoring clubs in the iron set that will have a high amount of workability as well as the cavity (3,4 to get the ball up) and split cavity (5-7 to get that forgiveness and a mid flight) irons you get as well.

13.5 909 F2 with the Diamana shaft in it. I love it.

Check out GPP for some good prices. Go to a golf store to test out a couple of clubs after you look for some deals that will give you a full set hopefully for the price range your looking for.

Titleist 14 Way. I love this thing especially since I got it a lot cheaper than the usual 199 or 189...

Titleist.. Hands down. I'll eventually get irons and wedges down the road. The putter will remain in the bag unless I was on tour lol.

I have been working on a few things with my driver and I am pretty pleased with my overall performance and trajectory. I can hit 300 fairly easy now, plus I have a better suited shaft with my driver so I don't have to fight that anymore. Let me know on what you see and what I can work on. PS.. SORRY for the camera angle being far away.....

If your having that big of a gap between a cavity back and a blade, you may want to play cavity backs since you hit them a little better. Playing the Nike VR split cavities, I tried the new pro combo and pro blades and hit them the same distance give or take 3-5 yards longer or shorter for both.. Just get the Titleist CB's

Well started this past summer (June/July of 2010) and since getting a lot more serious, I have developed a better routine at the range that seems to be paying off. Usually shoot mid 80's.. 1. Bought Tour Sticks, a GREAT investment because you think you know where your aiming? Wrong lol. 2. Make sure I am doing things right in my practice swings before I even hit balls, keeping my head still, no sway, EASY TEMPO, straight left arm (for full arc). Routine: 1. PW for about 10-20 shots depending on my contact and just to get a good tempo going and make sure my contact is good. 2. PW for 10 more shots but shaping and distance. 3. 7 or 8 iron for 10-15 shots, working on ball flight and tempo a little. 4. 5 iron 10 shots, TEMPO and catching ball first. 5. 3 iron for at least 15 shots, I love hitting my 3 iron and usually catch it very well. I work on contact and ball flight. 6. Hybrid, 3 Wood and Driver for at least 10 shots each. * I use my tour sticks for every shot. * Putting I work on my normal pre shot routine then... 1. 4 foot putts ( 20-40) 2. 12-15 foot putts ( 25 ) Short game: 1. 20 yards (20) 2. 45 yards (45) 3. Bunkers (20) I can get 40 balls for $3 at my local course which isn't bad at all! I'll be working there in a few weeks so I'll definitely be practicing a lot more and should be able to break into the 70's with a little help and some practice on my own.

Just added this little guy to my bag.. I have a really good feeling about this one.
