  1. None, no matter what glove I get the palm area on the bottom of my hand always wears away.....I bought two Callaway Warbird gloves (I know a cheaper glove) but after less than a month they both have dime sized holes in the same spot......Maybe I just have ruff hands?
  2. I love this ball......it flies off the clubface and wedges make em dance.....no durability issues here.....I am hell on golf balls and this one just takes it.....I played other balls in this category and they seemed to scuff a lot easier.......not sure if it is equipment or swing issues that cause the scuffing for some more than others.....I love when I see the 15 pack for 20.......3 free balls...WOO-HOO!!!
  3. I had that shaft on my IQ-Series driver and loved it......had to really swing it to get distance and height.......but a very solid and stable shaft!!!!
  4. That's like playing with fire! If Tiger wins then Rory looks stupid but if Rory wins then hes the man! Tiger 14 majors - Rory 0, I think Tiger is still the winner no matter what happens at the Ryder Cup....
  5. Besides how do they get an accurate measuremnet when the face is taped? How can they detect spin rate effectively......I think its stacked in your favor so you buy the damn club! Heck works for me almost everytime, LOL...
  6. Don't think they are very accurate either. It had me hitting a 4 wood consistently over 300 yards.....
  7. My thoughts exactly. I hate choking down or half swings. I would rather take a nice full swing and feel comfotable doing so!
  8. I used an overlap for years and swithced to interlock and have never looked back. Seems to help keep my hands together as one unit and I am able to work the ball with much better results...... I say try them all and see how they feel....
  9. I figured it out last night and tried the fix this morning at it is better. I was getting the club too much in my finger tips with my left hand (rightie) and this was causing my right hand to not fit together with my right hand. I prefer more of a palm grip than a finger grip. I have very strong hands so it works for me. Had an epiphany (spelling?) last night in my living room when I grabbed a wedge then my driver and I could feel the difference in my grip. Went to the range and it is flying again!
  10. Welcome to the club, I just did the same last week......now life is really gonna be tough living up to that, LOL.......Scared to play again. Played monday and shot an 81 so not too bad. started off with 2-3 putts so I was a bit rusty you might say!
  11. I can't agree more. I find it almost impossible to hit it straight anymore, LOL, I am always trying to work it left to right mainly and then right to left when needed. I am much more accurate trying to fade one in there rather than hitting it straight.
  12. Hey it's still a 6 pack eh? LOL....... Besides your a 4 hdcp. so you win!
  13. LOL, it's like a disease anymore. At the beginning of the season I was hitting my 3-wood like it was my job. 265-275 with a nice slight draw and now I am lucky to even make good contact. Never hit the driver great but that too was working and now it is just taking up space in the bag. Don't even get me started on the hybrids. My new hybrids (Power Play 5,000's) should be at home tonite when I get there, gonna go steel shaft and see if that helps with that problem any.
  14. Ok everyone, lately I can not hit anything with a graphite shaft at all. I mean I am not even making good contact. It's almost like I am swinging different or something. Lately I have been hitting 4-irons off the tee just so I know I will hit it out there 210 or so....more with a good roll..... The biggest problem I have been having is my grip. Not sure why I can't seem to get a comfotable working grip when it has a hybrid, wood or driver head on the shaft. I tend to grip normal with my left hand (rightie) but strong with my right hand and it is impossible to get the clubface square at impact that way. I am pulling my hybrids like crazy, pushing my 3 wood and barely even making contact with the driver. I am playing great golf right now and without having anything higher than a 4 iron to hit. Luckily I can hit it long enough to get around comfortably. I have always been an iron player. It is the strenght of my game hands down. I have never been a good driver or 3 wood hitter but enough to get around the course as needed but lately it is like I forget how to even hit a ball anymore when I use them. The last time I played I left the driver, 3 wood, 2 & 3 hybrid at home. My playing partner thought I was insane but I shot a 79 that day. Anyone else get this problem or has had this problem and can maybe shine some light on the situation!
  15. I'd go 50*, be able to hit it futher if needed and lay off as needed. My PW is 45 so I carry a 50*, 54* & 58* You can always have them take the 50* back to 51* or the 52* up to 51* too.......

  17. Very true, I know when i'm hitting it bad it pours over onto the greens too......the hardest part of golf is not the swing or the tempo, etc....it's the battle between your ears! When the mentals are good it just all seems to click........ I bet Tiger's shrink is making a fortune right now, LOL...
  18. His life has been turned upside down. I praise him for getting back in the saddle so quickly. The only cure for his problems is winning. A victory will break the pain and a couple of wins and he is back on top. Do I ever think he will win 7 in a row or 3 or more Majors in a year, definately not.
  19. He needs a swing coach bad. Trying to fix your own swing is not a good thing. I know I try to correct mine and it just seems to get worse so I pick up the phone and call my PGA pro and after 30 minutes I am hitting it great again. It seems to always be the smallest stupidest thing you can't see or feel. Now hopefully Sean can fix that flat stick too. I have never seen Tiger miss so many short putts before!
  20. a big NO on that one.
  21. Well finally broke 80 with a 79, 39 out and 40 in. Not bad. I used my 4 iron as my driver all day and worked the fade on my home course since a fade is needed on most of the holes there. Not any holes where a driver is needed. I did tee up one 3-wood and pulled it rite to the edge of the OB line so it went back in the bag for the day. Short game was on and the putter saved me a few strokes.
  22. 84 again, thats back to back 84's. 40 out and 44 in. I doubled 3 of the last 4 holes to let a great round slip away. Was getting late and hard to see and I was shot so another sub 80 slipped thru my fingers!
  23. I think the "blowout" part of it just made for a less dramatic feel. Also no "BIG" names on the leaderboard or any late charges made it a very somber final round. As for watching the winner hit perfect shot after shot, now that was entertaining . The guy was on fire, fairway and GIR, fairway and GIR....now that was entertaining!
  24. Wow thats good to know.....how are they out of bunkers and are you able to open the blade and hit a high flop?
  25. Yeah that is where I learned it and tried it one day and it just seeems to have stuck with me! I love hitting a low punch that sticks with good distance control anyday! I think I need to play the ball maybe a 1/2 ball back of center and swing the same way and watch the flight.....I play the ball middle of stance from 6 iron down and about a 1/2 ball forward from 5 iron up thru my hybrids, 3 wood about 1 1/2 balls forward and driver off my left heel.......think my blades need to be a half a ball back of center or visually that way and see how it works....
