Need advice on Golf gear

[Callaway]

good luck. just don't get into bad habits early on. It can be difficult to unlearn them once you start grooving that swing.

golf is such a hard freaking game man.. so fustrating i played about 6-7 while i was working today.. shot like *** im triend to take tips of all the starters and rangers but its tuff..very fustrating.. ended off on a decent note bogey the 2 last wholes so that made me feel a bit better..i focused on my grip and pasture from the drive a bit more and got a much better shot off..

Got my clubs and tested them out this weekend. Not bad. Stupid arms and forearms are tired now. Just bought a wedge set too since mine didn't come with a sand wedge.

Got new irons this weekend. TM r7 Draws. I'm hoping to get into the mid 80's this summer. I'm usually at 88-93 now. All I need is a Hybrid Club and a 58° wedge and my set will be complete.

Cleveland Hi-Bore 9.5° Driver
Cleveland 5 Wood
MaxFli 7 Wood
TM r7 draw 4-SW
TM RAC 52° Wedge
Cleveland CG14 54° Wedge
TM Rossa Daytona Putter

58? You're better off going for a 60 low bounce.

[terp2007]

I had a 60, I hated it and always ended up blading it. I want 58°

[DiamondGCoupe]

Was it a no bounce lob wedge? I have both but always use the bounce lob in the fairway. I just see no point really in getting a 58, most sand wedges are 56 and two degrees isn't worth grabbing another club for vs. going up to a 60 degree wedge. But in all honesty those clubs are hard to hit for many reasons. I tend to only skull the ball when I look up or rush the shot any other time I can hit it perfect with no problems. Don't blame it on the club

Hey D,

whats your index?

TAYLORMADE
ADIDAS

END OF STORY.

But seriously, Taylormade and Adidas are the superior brand imo.
Fook Nike.
Except their street shoes

For Wedges, get a 54/56 and 60, recommended a TaylorMade Z Groove Wedges. Really good.
Irons, you can go HT's (cheap beginners irons) or buy any TaylorMade irons that are forgiving or for beginners (almost all of them are really forgiving for those beginner players except the blades and MB's)
Driver, get a Burner 10.5 S flex or if your a fast swinger grab a X. Burner is a great beginner club, make sure you dont get TP, less forgiving.
Putter, 2 ball putter is awsome for a beginner by odyseey, lines up well, good balanced.

On average I'm about an 8. Most days I'm right on target, others I'm around a 12

I've been playing really well lately, about to purchase a new set of irons, wedges, fairway woods the whole nine. I wish it was season down here, it's impossible to find clubs to Demo I can actually play with unless Taylor Made has a Demo day at my Country Club. Guess I'll have to wait til September/October til those damn snow birds come crowd up my city.

[DiamondGCoupe]

Right now I am using a Nike SQ 9.5 and I'm trying to find a new driver that is worth getting. I have demo'd several new ones but none seem to anything for me to warrant their price tags.

So far:
- Taylor Made Tour Burner TP 8.5/9.5 (S)
- Ping G10 9.5 (S)
- Titleist 907 D2 9 (S)

I don't seem to gain any distance from them. I swing around 105MPH on average.

Today I picked up a Callaway Ft-F 8.5 (S) and I nailed it 305 on the fly 330 total, a good 15 yards further than the others I have tried. There really aren't any other clubs I can try and since this club is now only about $250 I'm thinking of buying it.. Has anyone had any luck gaining a little more from a different driver? I know all I can really do is swing faster but there's no way I'm going to be up around 130MPH anytime soon.

I have some stuff for sale
