    Question for those who work at golf retailers

    First off I apologize if this isn't the correct place for this thread. I was at Golftown today trying out the SLDR and the Bertha. I hit about 10 shots with each, I hit the SLDR 430 with the TP shaft the best. I had the highest swing speed and felt like I was making the best contact. I couldn't...

    Places to eat around Scottsdale AZ.

    Hi all, I'll be in and around the Scottsdale area all next week for an annual golf trip and wondering if anyone has some recommendations on places to eat. After living in Salt Lake City for a few years I got hooked on Mexican food. Unfortunately up here north of the border we don't have a whole...

    FS: Nike VR Pro Combo 3-PW KBS Tour S

    As the title says, I'm selling my Nike VR Pro Combo 3-PW irons with KBS Tour S. These are a great forged, players, progressive iron set. Pocket cavity 3/4 irons, split cavity 5/6/7 irons, and MB 8/9/PW. I gamed them for the 2013 season and wasn't able to play as many rounds as I have for the...

    I went in for my driver fitting on Saturday at Modern Golf, just outside of Toronto, Ontario and I can honestly say I learned more about the golf swing in two hours than I have in the past several years playing! after trying atleast a dozen shafts I kept finding myself going back to the Oban...

    Weekend Pin Placements

    With everyone talking about pace of play I'm hearing more and more people that don't want to go play on the weekends because of how slow it is. A few weeks ago I was playing a pretty nice course in my area on a Sunday and it was backed up (5 hour round). My playing partner mentioned that all...

    First Driver Fitting

    I won a new Bridgstone J40 in a long drive contest yesterday and it has the PX 5.0 shaft in it which is a little too whippy for me. I scheduled my fitting to go in and actually get fit for the "perfect" shaft. My question is, I called the shop that is doing it and the don't have a J40 head to...

    Playing Five Wedges?

    I played on Saturday with a buddy of mine who is a 3 handicap. He only drives the ball 225 but is a wizard around the green whether it's full shots or partial shots. My short game helps my hc out but I hit my wedges too far! A full swing with my 60* is 105 and my 56* plays 125. I'm thinking...

    Grafalloy BooYah

    I found a great deal on a Grafalloy Booyah shaft for my driver, and by great deal I mean free. I'm wondering if because it's an "ultra-light" Shaft should I be going up to an x flex instead of the s that my Diamana Kai'li is now? 105-107 mph SS. Does anyone have any experience with this shaft? I...

    Replacing Iron Shafts

    I'm currently playing DG S300 in my Nike VR Pro Combos and want to get a much higher trajectory in all of my irons (and PW). I've hit the Project X Flighted in a Taylormade MC TP 6i and saw a beautiful trajectory, the tightest dispersion I have ever seen and loved the feel. The only thing I'm...

    Seemore hot-list ripped-off?

    I was reading the Golf Digest Hot List for 2013 and saw that Seemore finally has some representation on their and I get that advertising dollars does mean a lot when they are putting that list together. The m9 received a silver and the "con" they listed was that if it doesn't say Louis Vitton it...

    Hybrid Opinions

    I'm looking at replacing my 3i with a hybrid and I'm looking for some insight towards what has worked for most people. I didn't mind the Titleist 910, I disliked the RBZ, I20, G20 but the Cleveland Mashie and everyone saying it's so easy to hit it's like cheating has me interested...
