I just sent my clubs into my pro shop to get new grips put on. I ended up with Golf Pride New Decade Multi Compounds. I also liked the VDRs though. The new decades were a little tackier though. The VDRs seem to be nice grips.

I'm 16 and 6-2 155. My average drives this year are between 240-255. I'm getting fitted for a new driver at a demo day this weekend that will hopefully bring my launch angle down and allow me to get some more roll.

i just replaced my nike sq2 3 wood yesterday with the r11. The r11 is a monster.

My advice would be to test every club you can. Don't limit yourself to two options. As for the stiffness, you would have to get your swing speed measured. This will be the easiest way to determine what type of shafts you need. You mentioned the Callaway X22's. They are nice clubs. My brother has them and i like them a lot. You should still hit every set you can. Good luck.

Hey guys, I need some help. I'v been playing golf for about 2 years now. I am down to a 12ish handicap. My ball striking is pretty good, but my misses are fat or left. I hit behind the ball and lose distance once and a while. The other thing i am working on is taking a divot, which i currently don't. I noticed in the video that i take the club to far side ways on the backswing and that my backswing is very long. I can't feel either one of these things and cannot seem to fix them. Are there any drills to fix this? And if you see anything else i should fix, i would appreciate it. Thanks.

I love my Golf Buddy. I have the World (just came out) and my dad has the World Platinum. They are both great. The touch screen is nice and it is very accurate. If you don't care about keeping score on it, i would suggest the world. It is the exact same as the world platinum, minus the score keeping. It is $100 less too. Every course i play on is already on it too. Good Luck

This has happened to me before too. I am only 16, so obviously a little younger than the guys in their 20's. I consistently shoot in the mid to low 80's right now. No one ever says anything to me when i'm with my dad or any older guys that i play with. The most memorable time was last summer. My 13 year old brother and i went to play by ourselves. We played the front nine with no problem. When we were about to tee up on 10, 2 guys and their kids come from the clubhouse. One of the guys starts yelling at us and getting an attitude about how we better not think about teeing off when there are 2 older guys waiting to play. He says they are having a father son outing and how great their kids are. He goes on to say that we are crazy if we think they are going to wait for 2 kids that will slow them down. I told him that we wouldn't slow them down and that we could actually play. He continued to tell us to move out of the way before we had a problem. I had my little brother tee off and i went into the clubhouse. The guy at the desk had been standing outside and overheard the whole thing. He had also watched us on the first hole (week night after school and there was hardly anyone there), so he knew we didn't suck. He told them to start on another whole or leave. I also agree that many older people look down on younger guys, even with an adult with them. They make us feel like we don't deserve to play golf.

The diablo edges make it easier to hit the ball long and straight. It is also very easy to get the ball into the air. I love mine, just wish you could work the ball a little more,

My little brother has it and he loves his. I practiced with it until i got my nike method. The ghost has a very soft feel and rolls the ball nicely. It is rather light compared to other blade putters i have tried. That is the only thing i didnt like about it. I would try the nike method 001 if you can. It is my favorite by far.

It was 73 in PA today. I shot an 83. Not too bad for my first time out.

What everyone has said sounds good. The Nike sumo woods are a great idea. I got mine brand new at dicks last year for $80. Favorite club in my bag.

I got my 001 last week. I love it. It really does get the ball rolling quicker.

I have never used the R7, but the R9 460 shaft is a whippy piece of crap. I hate mine.

I use the r9 460, and i like it for the most part. Like ohiolefty said, it is kind of loud. I hit it straight, but sometimes it feels "dead." It doesn't always feel that great at impact. I know i am hitting the sweet spot, so it's not that. It just doesn't seem to go as far as it should. My dads new Diablo Octane goes at least 15 or 20 yards farther every time. The only other complaint i have is that the stock shaft is a piece of crap. If you like the r11, i say go for it.

I have nike Dri-Fit pants that i got for $32 from golf locker. I love them.
