    Shaft weight

    Have a Ping G410 SFT, which came with an Alta CB 55g Reg. flex shaft. I like to tinker, and feeling that the 55g was just a little too whippy for me, I purchased a Graffalloy ProLaunch 65 in Reg. flex. So, it felt better, and has good control, but as of late, just don't seem to be carrying the...

    Souped up 3 iron..

    So, here is the distance problem that is being discussed in golf circles today. Thegala, starting his final round at the WM, teeing off with "a souped up 3-iron, that he can hit 250 yards" according to the broadcaster. Really!! I can't hit my driver that far, even if I needed too! I know these...

    3-wood pondering

    Ok! So I have had a club pondering lately, though I am NOT sure if I want to act on it. I currently game a Callaway Diablo Octane 3-wood, since 2010. Would I be better off getting something newer, or just continue playing the Diablo? I like the way the Diablo plays off the fairway, and the tee...

    Launch Tech. fire

    So, with the fire that has wiped out Launch Technologies for at least a year, what do the companies that do business with them do for their golf balls? Are there enough other companies that would be willing to take on more capacity? Would brands like Callaway move that production stateside? Are...

    So, here I am on this site, and found out that I posted 1,000 messages, almost one year in, which is July 27th.

    Wilson Golf

    Did you ever wonder if Wilson, for as hard as they try, if they should just become a ball company, at least in the U.S., and not market clubs here anymore? Just a thought that crossed my mind as, I was reading the thread about the newest driver offerings from them. Mixed feelings about their...

    Who remembers Golfsmith?

    I always enjoyed a trip to Golfsmith, as there used to be a brick and mortar store in Schaumburg, Il,. I live 10 minutes from there. Getting the catalog was fun, as I read thru it, wishing to buy this, or that. I always wanted to go to the clubmakers school in Texas, but never did. I did put...

    Has any THP'ers found golf gloves that help with temps below 50*? I have tried repeatedly, the offerings at all the big box golf stores.
