    2014 Big Bertha v XR Driver

    As anyone compared the two drivers? I was browsing a local marketplace website and saw two Big Bertha drivers for a good price. One is not even out of its plastic and the other which is slightly cheaper looks like it was hardly used, so I was thinking of buying one. I was wondering how they...

    THP Cap

    I was at the Irish Open at the Royal County Down Links G.C. last week and I wore my THP Cap. I was amazed at the number of people who asked me what The Hackers Paradise was, as I guess it stood out from all the branded caps. I gave them a rough idea, that it was Community of golfers, with...

    Shafts for new Irons (Z 545)

    I was in a local store trying out the new Srixon Z 545 irons and the store manager/fitter recommended a Harrison rifle shaft for the clubs. Excuse my ignorance, but I never heard of these iron shafts until then. Has anyone have any experience with these shafts? He didn’t specify an...

    Filming Your Golf Swing

    I was out on the range on Sunday evening (after the British Open), with my better half and son. I got my son to video me, using my smart phone, hitting about 10 shots with my driver, as I was having issues with it over the last 3 weeks, but has much improved lately. When I got home and was...

    As I posted earlier, I finally pulled the trigger on a new Callaway 10.5° X2 Hot driver and swapped over my existing Grafalloy Prolaunch Speedcoat Red 60 Regular Shaft (Butt & Tip Stiffened). I asked the fitter, if I was to upgrade the shaft, what would be the next step up. He listed off...

    Mack Daddy or Bridgestone J40 Wedges

    I recently brought a new set of irons, which has a PW with a 44° loft. I also bought a new Mack Daddy 2 58° (14 bounce, C Grind) wedge, which I plan to use as by Sand/Lob. Therefore, I now have a bit of a gap to fill. I’m thinking that the prefect set up would be a 50, 54 & and the new 58°...
