Hybrid and other Questions
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to John105's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I hit my taylor #3 hybird inplace of my 5 wood. It,s much easier to hit out of the rough and very accurate. -
new guy needs some help
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to Cburch15's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Years ago I would of agreed with most of you guys. But, In this modern Golf world Drivers have huge 460cc heads and are much more forgiveing. All the 3 woods are small heads and are not forgiveing at all. I use a 3 wood but have 40+ years of playing. You would be much better off with a good used driver with a 460cc head and reg. flex shaft -
Old Wilson 1200 LT's to Mizuno MP-57's?
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to Wera285's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I guess it would be like comparing a Ford Pinto with a Lexus ES 450. The Mizunos would be a great buy just for the investment purpose. -
Polished my irons today.
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to 6iron's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Every steel shaft club I own has been waxed with the same wax that goes on my car. I ,ve never waxed the club heads though. Gee,,,, I thought I was the only person on the planet that done that. -
I have Mizuno Fairway woods and Mizuno wedges. When I decide to retire the Clevelands I will definately buy a set of Mizunos. I,d demo all of them and which ever felt the best is what I would buy. My personal opinion is Mizuno builds the highest quality irons on the market. Which ever ones you end up with will last you many years.

When I was young getting custom fit golf clubs was not heard of. So I learned to play with standard loft and lie clubs. I would not recommend this for everybody but for me it still works for me. At my age and handicap I don,t really want to change things to much.

Taylormade Burner Hybrids.
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to James_Black's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I have a Taylor Made Rescue Mid #3 19* and it,s one club that I could not live without. If I could only find a #2 16* I would most likely retire the Mizuno #3 wood. I like the older 06,07 Mid rescue models better than the newer ones. -
What brand irons do you play with?
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to CWHolland's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Cleveland CG 4,s , The only other irons that feel this right to me are the Mizuno MP 52,s -
Instead of running out and buying one, Play golf with someone that allready owns one and use theirs. Thats the best way to find out if you,ll really want to make the splurge and save yourself some money. I use mine ALOT. And would,nt want to be without one.

just picked up my new driver CHEAP!
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to kennay92's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Nice Buy, I don,t know how that one slipped by everybody. Thats the way to buy golf stuff now days. Wait a year or two and they are a fraction of the cost of when they were new. I,ve hit the 975s and they are a very nice driver. It should last you for many years. -
Grips that deal with sweat well
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to Rugger's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Ping just come out with a new grip called the tour wrap G2. I tried one on a fairway wood and seemed pretty good. And they are very cheap to buy also. About $3.50. But I don,t think I,m going to replace my Winn DSI grips. I don,t use a glove. And here in NC it,s pretty hot not to have good grips. -
I,ve used my Taylor Made R5 XL for over 3 years and find it hard to replace because I hit it strait 99.9* of the time. The only other driver I,ve hit that good is the Ping G15.

Does anyone play Cleveland CG1 tours?
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to oneoverwrx's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
You have to be pretty darn good to hit them ( 1s ) very good. I play the ( 4s) and thought I was doing well enough. They are a beautiful club though. Very underated. VJ Singh plays the CG 1s. -
I know there is a big hoop la on Hybirds. But I allways say whatever works the best for you. I myself have played all this year with no woods other than a taylormade driver and a mizuno 7 wood. my 3i see,s alot of use this year. Last year I don,t think even hit my 3 or 5 wood a half dozen times. So unless I go to a course with at least 7000 + yards I,ll leave my 3 and 5 wood home.

Center shafted putters, anybody use one?
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to shades9323's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I have a Ping C67 that works pretty good but I mostly use a Ping Anser G2. The Ping C67 center shaft putter can be bought for a lot less than they were a few years ago. Under a $100.00 bucks anyway. -
Used Balls vs. New Balls
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to shankasaurus's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
A good rule of thumb is buy the best ball you can afford. There is a difference. -
Best ball for 77-81 mph swing
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to erock9174's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I have a swing of 85 -90 and use 3 different balls. Sirxon AD333 , Titleist DT SoLo or Bridgestone e6 . all my clubs are Reg. shaft. With my age and Handicap of 6.0 I,m not changing nothing. -
I use a MP-T 56* 10 and has been a great wedge. I don,t really care for the new Quad Cut MP 10 wedge. Just don,t seem to have the same Mizuno quality as the older ones.

Golf Pride Grips - I must have!
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to zak flaps's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I don,t think they make the Whisper grip anymore. They do have the new tour wrap g2 that you might want to check out. -
Anyone use a 7 wood instead of a 3 iron?
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to kfowler's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
You Betcha, I use a Mizuno F 50 7 wood. It,s not the best in the deep rough but the trick is not get it there in the first place. I have tried a few Hybirds and they work OK but I,m really happy with my woods. -
favorite fairway wood
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to motteler621's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I Like my Cleveland Hi Bore 15* -
Hi fellow North Carolenians, This seems like a nice form. I,ve been wondering how you added the whats in my bag signature. I see Tar heel has a preety nice one.

Ebay/Used Ball Question
BlueRidgeTitleist replied to Wet Doggg's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I think you,d be safe doing that because PayPal won,t release his money until you give him a possitive feedback. I believe it falls under the buyer protection policy.
