we had a set of Titleist 735 CM's in the shop at work and i used to hit them all the time. i loved those irons, do you like them? also, are your crosslines cord or not, i have crossline cords, but i don't really like them without

"baonest: never hit the xx speed, is it for more ball speed and club head speed than the single x-speed?"

well its the driver that the Cobra long drive team uses.



i dont know the exact specs except that i think it has a long shaft.

but i probably got one good hit off of it, and it was probably an average hit compared to what its suppose to be

yeah they are sweet. very solid. i never really liked Titleist irons ive always favored mizunos but they are nice. I actually have a set of the 735 steel version for sale or possibly for sale b/c i am awaiting a paypal payment currently

and no my crosslines arent cord. i hate cords

I keep reading a lot of people's club list, and I'm not sure they're aware that you're only allowed to have 14 clubs in the bag. It wouldn't matter just for casual rounds, but if you ever play in a tournament at a country club or whatever, they can get pretty heated about it. Anybody watch Big Break on the Golf Channel? Dude got penalized cuz he had like, 17 clubs.

3/1/2007 2:03:52 PM

ive got like 13 and think its a bit crowded. i can probably get down to 11

Tried out a new set of clubs today at the driving range. MAN its pretty out there

3/3/2007 2:25:27 PM

which brand clubs?

3/3/2007 5:55:39 PM

I played today and it was windy as fuck.

3/3/2007 7:26:45 PM

yea the wind was awful today

3/3/2007 7:27:56 PM

Anybody got suggestions for where to take lessons? I was a 9 over the summer, laid off for a little while because of law school, got to a 13, and now I have a case of the shanks that have lasted 4 rounds...I don't know what the fuck is going on. I tried putting all my change in my right pocket, turning my visor around, etc. (tincup style) and nothing works. Holler with good teaching pros.

3/4/2007 1:22:38 PM

make sure the club is flat on the ground

but if i were you, just go to the range and get one lesson. or just half a lesson.

knighsplay and falls golf complex have some good teachers (ive never had any, just from people that have).

havnt been anywhere else

3/4/2007 2:35:23 PM

^^ Since you said the s word you are cursed for a little bit longer. Even if it happens you never say the word. Refer to as power fade until corrected.

3/4/2007 4:15:31 PM

just found out i have 2 lessons that my dad got for my sister left at the range.

that will be good for this upcoming season for me.

3/4/2007 4:58:25 PM

3/4/2007 5:25:42 PM

I wish I could call it a power fade - but when the ball won't even get off the ground every other iron shot, it can't fade. But you're right - I forgot the S word is off limits, thanks for the reminder.

3/4/2007 8:00:41 PM

anyone hit the taylormade burner?? or have one?

5/9/2007 9:26:45 PM

^ I still play my first 3 wood; the taylor made bubble shaft burner; stiff flex and 80 gram swing weight

still my favorite club and i will have to find something pretty awesome to give it up

for the entire bag:

Driver: Nike SasQuatch, 8.5 degree, aldila 65 gram stiff flex shaft
3 Wood: see above
3-PW: Mizuno mp-30
54 sand: Mizuno
56 Sand: taylor made tp
putter: scotty cameron

question for yall: i only have thirteen clubs and want to go ahead and add one more; do yall think i should add a fourth wedge, like a 60, or get something in between my 3 wood and 3 iron b/c that is a fairly big gap?

5/9/2007 10:14:11 PM

having a 54 and a 56 is pointless, get the 56 bent (its like 10 bucks) to a 58 to make up for that and then get a 5 wood or something. carolina custom can bend clubs up to about 3 degrees without hurting the club

5/9/2007 10:33:16 PM

bending a 56 to a 58 is going to add some bounce which is going to suck for tight lies

"anyone hit the taylormade burner?? or have one?"

My driver (which I've had for ~8 years) is the Ti Bubble 2 from Taylor Made. It has the bubble 2 shaft and the larger and sleeker head than the original Burner Bubble (btw, good grief, those things came out like 12 years ago, seems like just yesterday.....). Anywho, I don't even want to guess how many thousands of drives I've hit with that thing, but I still love it and won't trade it anytime soon. I really don't like these new drivers with the >450 cc clubheads, although they are more forgiving for beginners.

^^^I would advise forgoing the 4th wedge (Dave Pelz made the 4 wedge bag a chic thing 6-7 years ago, and there is some merit to it, but I think 3 is enough) and get a club in between the 3-wood and 3-iron. If you're a low-handicapper and a long hitter, you can try a 2-iron, but my advice for you would be to try a 5-wood.

5/9/2007 10:53:48 PM

yeah i hit this years burner at dicks today at the golf simulator thing..

it felt good. i feel more comfy with my cobra (maybe cuz ive hit my cobra a hundred times).

i may have to go back with my driver and compare the two

5/9/2007 11:41:35 PM

I'm loving the shit out of the Callaway 454 driver I picked up this winter.

The Daddy

Taylor Made R7 9.5

5/10/2007 1:20:43 PM

^ i was talking to the guy at dicks. now, whether they know their stuff or not it sounded like he knew what he was talking about.

he said that by far, the taylormade series is the best. the burner for guys who want an easy to hit forgivable club, and the superquad for those who can really put the ball where they want.

how do you like the superquad?

5/10/2007 1:35:42 PM

I absolutely love the club. Never hit a driver with a better sweet spot and the ball flight makes you feel professional.

5/10/2007 1:55:47 PM

Driver: Cleveland Hibore 10.5
3 Wood: Old Big Bertha Steel Shaft
3-G Mizuno MX-19 Wedges
LW: Cleveland 60 degree
Putter: Ben Hogan Baby Ben by Bettinardi

5/10/2007 2:41:03 PM

andy: the guy at Dicks said the burner has a bigger sweetspot.

hmm, maybe ill have to demo the superquad also.

have you fiddled with the weights at all?

5/10/2007 4:36:46 PM

I have the regular TaylorMade R7 with just the two weights and it is by far the best driver I have ever hit. The sweet spot is huge and the club is just so smooth. It is amazing by just switching the weights to the "draw" setting, it actually makes the ball draw. Those guys at TaylorMade have it down. I would highly recommend it and the superquad.

5/10/2007 9:16:25 PM

Driver: TaylorMade 360 10.5 (Love it but want to upgrade to the R7)

Sand/Lob Wedge: TaylorMade RAC Black
Putter : Odyssey Blade

Best driver i have ever hit, I just didn't want to pay the money for the superquad. I can hit this 300 on a regular basis, so no need to change right now.

Just gots the irons in April. Still adjusting to them, but they absoutly crush the ball. A good 15-20 Yards longer than my previous irons and the have great flight.

Next to replace in the set is the putter with a Scotty Cameron.

I am really trying to play a lot right now to get my scores into the mid 80s. I am getting there, but it is going to be a lot of work.

5/11/2007 11:55:17 AM

Driver- TM 360 w/ Fujikura Speeder
4 wood- TM 200 w/ same
3-PW-Precept Forged Blades
52 and 58 wedge, old TM prototypes
Putter-Old Rossa Prototype

5/11/2007 12:00:24 PM

So what's a suggestion for a new player?

I was given a set of Tommy Armour irons, and i'm fine with playing on those for several years until an equipment upgrade would help or even be necessary.

The club in question is a driver. I feel that I have an average swing speed. I'm taking lessons, but we have not discussed the driver yet. Therefore, I know I am learning the correct ways to swing a club, so I should not need a club that can compensate for an improper swing. Obviously I'm not looking for a driver with a miniture sweet spot, but I think you get the point.

Since I'm just getting into the sport (less than 1 year), I don't want to spend a ton of money. I also don't want a wal-mart brand driver that will break after 6 months.

also, i do not own any woods, and would like to pursue those as well. Currently all I have is the irons (3-9, pw, sw) and a putter

i've played mostly par 3's, which is why i haven't gotten a driver or woods yet.

[Edited on August 5, 2007 at 10:19 PM. Reason : mostly sarcastic]

8/5/2007 10:16:58 PM

yeah, you can probably drop your 3 and 4 iron because of that hybrid...

i picked up a 3 and 5 hybrid. and i start my irons at 6 iron. i should probably start it at 7.

i use to play with a chipper. then the bag that i had my chipper in was at the beach. i played with it for the first time in like 2-3 years and man i knew i was missing out.

chipper is a goood club to use

8/5/2007 11:03:19 PM

A chipper is a horrible club to use. Be a man and learn how to bump and run.

8/6/2007 12:50:38 AM

thats why i like it.

its easy.

8/6/2007 8:07:23 AM

PW - Nike NDS
52*, 56*, 60* Titliest Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can Wedges
P - Ping Anser

My irons kinda stink but they were a gift so I'm not dropping them just yet. I would like to get Callaway X-forged irons.

Also I've been playing a couple of different balls...Callaway Big Beartha 2 piece has been my economy ball and I've also been playing NXT Tour balls. I have some Nike Ones and Pro V1s but I'm letting them sit in the basement for a few more months until I get the D and 3W hook under control.
