I think the only club company I really don't like is Callaway.....I'm kind of a traditionalist and Callaway goes against just about everything I like. Plus Callaway has there name in every type of product, watches, rangefinders, etc. & for some reason that doesn't sit well with me.

Right now I am using an old Ping anser 2 and absolutely hate it . I know I need to switch putters. The full shaft offset of that putter is just too hard to get used to. Its just a matter of which one to choose. I am looking into a scotty cameron because I have always had good luck with them in the past. I have used a studio style 1.5, a circa 62 #2 and loved them both, plus I like the nice little shaft bend in them both. Question is, should I buy scotty's new studio select 1.5, or stick to either the studio style 1.5/circa 62 #2 which I know I like. BTW, the studio selects red circles are so dumb looking.

I am looking to switch irons even though I just bought some Mizuno mp-32's. I really like the idea of ping s58 irons because ping makes a great product and they have an amazing resale value. I have tried them out a few times and liked them and I love the look of blades. The only negative I can think of is that cast doesn't feel as good as forged. If anyone has demoed or currently owns these irons please tell me your opinions.

As for brandon's comment, I assure you a set of carbon steel irons ( the MP-32's I have now) are not going to last. I had a set of TP Taylormade Combo irons I bought in 2004 and they lasted 3 years, and that was pushing it a little (when the grooves get worn to the point of affecting my greenside performance, its time to switch). As a matter of fact, I sold my buddy a set of Ben Hogan Apex Plus iron's and he has played them for approx. 3.5 years and all of the faces are golden. Anyways, I know a player on the Florida University golf team and he plays the S58 irons and likes them alot. He said that switching to carbon steel irons to PING irons sucked though. He said that the PING's don't have nearly as much feel and just don't feel as solid. But i'll tell you what, if I can get away with keeping them until I get out of college I'll be a happy camper.

I recently got a job at a golf shop and I am getting a good discount on golf clubs. I want to purchase a set of irons that will last me for years to come, aprox. 5-7 years. While I was getting my old irons fitted at a golf course, my fitter said all he plays is PING because they last so long. During the fitting he bent the lie angle of my irons to me and while he was doing it he once again remarked, " With these irons you will want to check the lie every 6 months, with PING irons you could hit them one million times and they would stay the same." Basically he was recomending PING irons, kind of a bad time to do it! Anyways, I was wondering if this guy is right, do PING irons last longer? If so, you can bet I will go out and buy a set! For all of you who have PING iron sets, please post how long you've had them and how they're holding up (I know a lot of people still play the PING Eye 2's). Thanks

Currently in my bag (as you can see from my signature) a carry a driver, 3 wood, 19* hybrid(2 iron), 3-PW irons, and 52* wedge 58* wedge and my putter. The switch I am considering is taking my 3 iron out and changing my wedge set up to a 52*, 56* and a 60*. Note: I would consider my wedge play one of the best aspects of my game, so would it help me that much? The reason why I am considering this change is because I struggle with bunker shots with my 58* wedge and think a 56* would help alot. Please post your opinion.

I love Guitar Hero, it is such a refreshing game in an industry filled with copycats and lackluster new ideas. Don't get me wrong, I love my FPS's but guitar hero is the greatest game ever. Period. On a side note, how many Xbox 360 owners are pissed off that Rocking the 80's is only available for ps2. I am an 80's addict, so when I see I Ran by A Flock of Seagulls, I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister, Play With Me by Extreme and Holy Diver by Dio and I can't play them I get very upset. It's like an itch I can't scratch because I gave my ps2 to my nephew. For those who know play Guitar Hero, leave a comment about anything, what difficulty your playing, what song you passed, (how hard it is switching from medium to hard and getting used to the orange.........we've all been there .) The other day I beat Sweet Child O' Mine on Expert , beat that!

I highly suggest anyone to pick up MCR's Cd THE BLACK PARADE. Every song on this cd is great..........................seriously. Anyways, I think this cd is up there with Metallica: Black Album, Michael Jackson: Thriller, David Bowie: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the spiders from mars, Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here and a few other albums that I would consider the best of all time. If you are wondering, I honestly like all music genres so I would say anyone would like this album. Don't sterotype MCR as a just another punk band beacause trust me, they have there act together and a good people in real life. So if you need your music fix in this world filled with awful rap songs that get played to death, pick up My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade for about $14.

Shot a 71 at a new course in the area, "The Mines." Anyways, I was in a junior tournament and I was leading after the 1st day. During the round I had 6 birdies and 7 bogeys (par 70). Best all year! Now here's the bad news. . Coming into the second day of the tournament I started my round birdie, birdie, missed a 3 footer for birdie, and on the 4th hole drove the par 4 green in one. Went on to shoot 80. Golf is a funny game isn't it. To top it all off, I thought I might get runner up with 71 + 80. Nope, some kid went 76 + 66 for 1st and 2nd place went 73 + 73. Maybe next time?

I inherited a 2005 Chrysler 300, when I got it it had under 5,000 miles on it. To top it off, I'm still in high school so I park next to a bunch of beater cars. My first day driving my car to school I definatley got some looks of astonishment and alot of comments.

I just switched to the Scotty Cameron Circa 62 a while ago and I love it. My old putter had bad glare and the charcoal finish is relly nice on the 62. Another great aspect is that the putter gives you feedback, (as stupid as it sounds), if you don't make a good stroke you will know it and overtime it has helped my groove my stroke.

I'm sure this topic has been tossed around alot but I had to do it. What spins more, Titleist Spin milled wedges or Cleveland CG 12's? I just got a job at a golf store and I can finally afford new wedges when my old grooves wear out. Also, on a unrelated note, I am thinking about changing my wedge set up. Right now I have a 52* wedge and a 58* wedge. I have been toying with the idea of taking my 2 iron out and putting a 52*, 56* & a 60* in my bag. The reason why I want to change is because I strugle with my 58* out of the sand and thought a 56* would make a difference.

I know you've probably heard this scenerio a billion times but you will have to hear it once more. I am a 7 handicap who is currently playing a set of Taylormade blades, feel great but I think I need to move to a more forgiving set. Note: I am 17 years old and very strong, most of the time people switching to easier irons are good golfers getting older. I was going to wait until next year to switch my irons, but Michigan's high school golf schedule changed to the spring.....BULL S**T . I was expecting to get my new irons next spring and have all summer to play with them before the season in the fall. Now I am getting my irons in the summer so I have at least the summer and part of fall before I put them into play in the spring. Anyways, here is a list of irons I am going to demo: 1. Titleist 755 2. Titleist 695 cb 3. Taylormade r7 TP 4. Mizuno MP 60 5. Callaway Forged 6. Ping S58 Please add any that you think I'm missing or add coments if you've had experience with these clubs/ were in my position at one time.

I have a Sasquatch 15* 3 wood which I love. As of now I have a steel shaft in it and I think I want the club's swingweight to go down a tad. I think my best option would be to replace it with a graphite shaft, does anyone have a fairway wood shaft they just love?

I just bought the Cobra Pro Speed D. I love it and it sets up perfect for me. Very easy to shape shots and it launches the ball nice and high. I would recommend the Pro Speed D over the Pro Speed S, the D comes with an Aldila VS Proto shaft in an exclusive golf color, while the S comes with a Speeder shaft also in an exclusive gold shaft. I would really recommend these to anyone, actually these are the first Cobra drivers I've ever tried. I usually go with Titleist, Nike, or Taylormade, so it should be a shocker to know that I switched to a Cobra so quickly, it's that good.

I just bought a Rossa Monza Corza of eBay for $95.00, retails at $179.00. Anyways, has anyone else tried this putter? I just wanted to see if anyone else loved it as much as I do.

Try the King Cobra X-Speed PRO D driver. They just came out so it might be hard to find. I just bought this driver yesterday and it is amazing. Out driving my friends by an even bigger margin . I have a swing speed 100-110 and it fits me perfect. I got fitted in a launch monitor and the person fitting me said I had almost the same stats as Bubba Watson (he is 1st on PGA tour driving distance) difference being his swing speed is around 130 mph. Anyways, the driver is LONG and it is currently being used by J.B. Holmes and Camillo Villegas on the PGA tour (2nd and 4th longest hitters on tour.) I wasn't a big Cobra fan before this, so don't think I'm biast towards them. It's just one of those drivers that will definatley be overlooked by the public because everyone is flocking towards the r7 SuperQuad/any other club that has r7 written on the side (that was me a year ago). Like I said, if you get fit in a launch monitor and tell the fitter your requirments (low ball flight for you) there is nothing close to the Cobra. I gained 10 yards, which is impressive because I am already getting them out there pretty far.

Try the King Cobra X-Speed PRO D driver. They just came out so it might be hard to find. I just bought this driver yesterday and it is amazing. I have a swing speed 100-110 and it fits me perfect. I got fitted in a launch monitor and the person fitting me said I had almost the same stats as Bubba Watson (around 1800 rpms of backspin) difference being his swing speed is around 130 mph. Anyways, the driver is LONG and it is currently being used by J.B. Holmes and Camillo Villegas on the PGA tour (2nd and 4th longest hitters on tour.)

One thing, I'm buying a X-Speed, not a F-Speed. My swing speed is over 100 and my ball speed is around 160, the driver sets up perfect for me. And another, I'm stripping it 290+ yards, in 45* weather, with 15mph wind coming into me. I will my pants when I try it out in decent weather. Watch out Tiger . P.S.- Tried the SQ Nike, not my cup of tea, although I still carry last years SQ 3-wood.

I am 99.9% sure I am purchasing the King Cobra Speed Pro D this weekend. I just wanted to know what your previous experiences were with Cobra drivers. Thanks .

Well.....I'm going to keep my irons. The fact of the matter is, my grooves are only worn in the short irons, the long irons are still holding up well. I checked it out, there is a dremel kit you can buy to regroove clubs. Plus, Taylormade doesn't use coin-forging anymore . I love the feel of these irons, so it would be pointless to waste $800 on R7 TP's which I'm not in love with. Thanks guys, now I can spend my money on my new driver..... King Cobra Speed Pro D, I crush it. It comes with a Aldila VS proto 'ByYou' in a gold color exclusive to cobra.

I went to the range today with my current irons (2003 RAC TP COMBO) and absolutely flushed them. Note, these irons have worn grooves on the lower irons. I thought for sure I was going to upgrade to new irons this year, but I am hitting my current irons great. What do you guys think, stay with my current irons and slightly lose spin, or, switch to new irons and adjust to them?

Does no one remember when the R7 Quad Tp was 1000 dollars. A friend of mine bought it and he had to use a ratty headcover so people thought the driver sucked, the only way for it not to get stolen.

I guess the driver was made in China in two seprate plants, one cut the Sumo^2's face at the legal limit and the other cut it 6/1000 of an cm to thin, which translates into an additional 1-2 yards. This is going to cost Nike approx. 5 million dollars in shipping and packaging all the new drivers. I have also heard that the Sumo^2 is legal in Europe. I guess the R&A;'s rules are different than the USGA's rules. I have no idea what Nike would say about your shaft though.? I would just get the shaft pulled and send in the head, if possible, and just get your new driver you get from nike reshafted with the correct shaft. At the same time, I don't think it is good for shafts to be taken out and re-installed. Who knows, if you pleaded your case correctly, I bet Nike would give you the money to buy a replacement shaft, right now they need all the customer support they can get!

To All of you who have purchased the Nike Sumo^2, unfortunatley you will have to send it in and get it replaced. Apparently some of the drivers were non-conforming to the USGA so Nike pulled it from the market. I was demoing drivers yesterday and when the pro went to tape up the Nike Sumo^2, he said he can't let me hit it. Then we got into the discussion of why and I found out all of this info. If you want to get the USGA conforming Sumo^2, bring it into the store you bought it at and you will get a voucher. Hold onto that voucher, and when the replacement Sumo^2 comes in, you can get it at no charge. (There will be a small circle next to the SQ on the driver to identify the conforming Sumo^2.) If you are wondering,"KJ Choi should have the title he won earlier this year taken back because he won it using the Sumo^2, which is non-conforming" wrong. Nike says that they test all tour players clubs to make sure that they are conforming. For more info, nikegolf.com. Feel free to bitch about how much you hate this inconvenience .
