I pay 30 bucks per dozen for prov's, nike ones and bridgestone 330s. 32 for callaway tour balls.

No doubt man. Im in love with the Burner 3 wood right now.

hes cute... I KID I KID :)

I picked up a Cleveland 588 Diadic 53° I think a year or two ago and it filled my gap perfectly. Before that, I was really struggling between my PW and SW.

I carry 4 if I'm including my pitching wedge as it's the same as my irons but the others are 53/56/60

I hit a 394 yard drive down wind in a bestball 4 some tourny. I carried about 310 and hit the cart path, bounce bounce bounce and ended up back in the fairway! HAHA, I was looking no more than 350 yards and couldn't find the ball and my dad decided to go look at almost 400 yards. I was telling him theres no way it went that far and to just screw it, then he finds my ball and we go crazy lol.

That's exactly the grip I got on my driver. Haven't hit any balls with it on yet but the grip feels so good and I hear it really tackies back up when you wash it.

Good call, I was thinking about that. Maybe if I call TM they can tell me if the V2 would reduce the spin rate for me?

Bump for some input :D

Golfsmith has a 98 cent fee to regrip this weekend. I just got a new grip put on the driver.

Well, I got a Taylormade Burner 3 wood for my birthday with the stock re-ax superfast 50g shaft. I went to Golf Smith yesterday and hit it and they said I was getting too much back spin with the shaft (4600rpm). So they handed me the new Titleist 3 wood and he wanted to see what my numbers were like with that shaft (totally forgot to look what shaft it was, but it was black) and he said my backspin number was a lot better at 3600 but said the perfect backspin would be 2800-3000 for my swing speed. So he recommended I get order the UST V2 thinking it will get my backspin to a better level but they didn't have that available to hit and I don't know where I could go to hit it with that shaft in it. Do you believe his judgement to be correct? I'd hate to order this with the wrong shaft. The last swing with the titleist was 111mph clubhead speed. Thanks in advance :D

There's always a jealousy factor when it comes to someone who can hit the ball a long ways, especially on a message board because people equate distance with skill. But what you have to remember is that just because they can hit the ball a long way, doesn't mean they can putt, have good iron play or any type of short game. Hell, Ken Griffey JR has been known to outdrive Tiger on a regular basis, no way he's a better golfer though.

It's just the way it is. Until pro sports even out more on the minority side in power positions such as Owners, GMs, coaches you're going to continue to hear about it. I'm glad we're getting a shot at these great things, but like most of you it gets old having to hear every second that a lot of the recognition is because we are minority.

Anna Rawson is # 1 right now for me. Michelle Wie is also up there, but she's not of age so I'll just take a cold shower on that one at the moment.

Tiger Woods. Before him I didn't have an intrest in golf. I guess when you don't see many people that you can relate to out there on the course you aren't drawn to it. All that is history and I'm now addicted. Of course I have love for John Daly. I love the swing of Adam Scott and have a strong hate for Sergio Garcia. I also enjoy the game of Camilo Villegas

Right before Christmas I treated myself to a new 56inch JVC 1080p HD. I'm in love. I watched the buick in HD 2 weeks ago and was just blown away. I dvr'd the event, I'll try and take a screenshot and put it up.

Right on. I'm a blackbelt in Taekwondo but I haven't trained in years. I was as serious as you could get and went tothe junior olympics back in 1996. I don't know how much TKD would help my golf game now, but I know with other sports the balance you learn from martial arts was the most beneficial.

They were Nikes, but the only reason he was wearing them was because of all the sand particles flying around in the air. I play baseball and wear nike sunglasses in the field only when the sun is unbearable. I wore them more this past baseball season and I still don't like wearing them, but they are tolerable. I tried them on the golf course this year and I actually played fine with them on and they didn't make a difference in my game which was encouraging. I will always prefer my natural eyesight though.

I myself would never limit myself to 1 brand for my clubs but if I had to it would be Taylormade. TM has always done well for me, and their irons are really coming along. Titleist would be a real close 2nd, more like a 1a, 1b type thing to me. Driver and Woods - TM Irons - Titleist Wedges - Cleveland Ball - Titleist The only company I don't care for too much is Callaway. I don't like what they have to offer to me but that's the beauty with golf. What works for you may not work for others and vice versa.

See, that's exactly what I don't like about mats. When aiming at flags on the mats, it was hard to get myself aligned because the mat is pointing forward and I need to be at a different angle. I don't like mats with irons. I like to look at my divot and check my swing out from it. I like the feel of the club coming through rather than hitting the mat. You can learn a lot from your divots.

hole #6 at the Bandon Dunes.

I'm very similiar in my approach. I like to start with my 8 and 9 iron knowing this will show me my tempo. I will then hit my other clubs, and depending on the course I'll focus on one of the long irons more than the others depending on what club I think will be in more use that day. I like to hit my driver and woods towards the end and then save a few balls to use my 8 or 9 in the end again.

The way technology is now, hitting 300 is really not out of the question and it isn't as big of a deal now as it once was. The people I find the most amazed with it when I go out and play are the older guys who don't have the distance, but that's not to say all don't because I know some older guys who can crank em out there. Im 5'10 180lbs and I have a few drives 300 every time out. When I'm feeling really dialed in and in that groove where you know you can swing all out and that ball is going to go straight, I can get in the 330's. I strongly believe my baseball background, to go along with my flexiblity and overall athleticism play a big part in this. I also know the technology is playing a big part. When I first got my taylormade 200 series steel driver, I could get 280 or so with the roll on a fullout shot, and usually in the 240-260 range on a regular swing and that's less than 10 years ago.

I like to walk the course and use my push/pull cart. I'm not a fan of carrying my clubs, I find I play better when I walk and use a cart. I'm 22 and pretty much the only one in the group of friends I play with that doesn't carry their clubs or insist on getting a power cart.
