What's the best way to accurately determine the distance you hit a drive on the course (carry + roll) sans GPS? I've used the subtract the approach distance from the total hole yardage and that doesn't seem too accurate from course to course. One course I'll be 230-240 yds the next I'll be 260-270 yds. Stepping it off doesn't seem to accurate either. I'd probably loose counts after about 75 steps. Any ideas?

I don't mean to p!ss on your parade, but I would definitely take those clubs to an authorized retailer and compare them with the real things. Also, the 5-iron should have a serial number etched into the hozel. Call TaylorMade and check that number out. Every TaylorMade authorized dealer has been selling all the new r7 items at the same pricees. I checked TaylorMade's website and Rockbottom is not an authorized dealer. I have been researching this a lot lately. I've been in the market for the new r7 draw driver which I just purchased from Golfsmith. I have also contacted TaylorMade numerous times regarding counterfeit clubs. According to them there are more counterfeit out there than you would think. It is really easy to get these clubs shipped from China. I know. I checked into that as well. Just visit tradekey.com. I've even had email discussions with suppliers trying to unload counterfeit clubs. Here is a link every golfer should read regarding counterfeit clubs. http://www.time.com/time/asia/magazi...464468,00.html Again, I'm not saying your clubs are fake but the price you got them for should be a red flag. Just check them out to make sure. HTH Tim
