Can't find any info on 15-5-3 Ti on the web 15% molybdenum or Vanadium , Grade 31 said at thinner gauges 15-3 was cheaper than 6-4. Wonder why they're using this alloy???

I've got a 450 SZ Tour LDA head in 5 degrees on it's way. :surprize:

I was hoping that would read 'any loft '

Head: Cobra 450 SZ tour LDA 5 degree Shaft: Penley "NASH FACTOR" Jason Zuback R&D XXXX Stealth based 52"

Look like crap to me... don't understand the what all the fuss is about.

was wondering that myself !

I want the lot, shame I don't have a spare $4-5 grand in my back pocket buring my ass!

What the loft range on the tour driver ??? I hope there's something nice and small, like a 6 degree!

.. the US PGA set ups only punishes players who go 10 yards and less offline... if your 30 yds like Mickleson you've got a clean lie and line of sight. Problem with American golf is that the equipment is totally target golf orientated... it's fun to watch TW in the his waterprooofs thrashing around the wet kneehigh rough playing the windswept British Open... no stinger two irons from pine needle lies in the woods onto the green Mr Hogan would have throttled back, worked the ball and kicked his ass! :wink:

Are you sure it isn't one of those 15 El Nino shafts from that 'somewhere over the Rainbow' website ?? :smile1:

Go big or Die???? Get real !!! Titties ball sales could subsidize the club making business even if it was flat on it's arse. They were in a similar position in the mid 80's... they're still here and anyway 460 doesn't hit the ball further, half the clowns buying them couldn't hit themselves flush in the face with their new purchase!!! IT'S ALL TECHNO HYPE!

:-D Here's one guy that wish Titleist would build more solid feeling drivers again... the E/K was total crap and I'm back to the D. A lot of the low handicap players don't like big heads, a lot of turf drag, causes torque problems off toe hits, ugly at address, horrible acoustics, can't work the ball, trajectory issues, no feel, cracked heads or collapsed faces etc.... the list goes on & on. Soup cans are great for grunters who can't hit the ball very far... BTW: T Woods was in the rough at lot at the Nissan... I bet if he wheeled out his 975D again he'd be #1 and winning majors

Grafalloy have a Nano option coming out, check out their webpage: http://www.grafalloy.com/grafalloy/grafalloy.htm Nothing at Penely or Harrison.....

On the Aldila web site the nano shaft is cheaper than the other limited availability shaft NV Extreme. Strange ???

Hmmm, pure carbon fiber on it's own is very brittle... I doubt even nano shafts are completely resin free... like high end snow boards, the carbon content to resin ratio = lightness (not sure about the strength factor when resin tends to zero) looks like the resin is still there, in small quantities. and check out the flexs.. must be the benefits help manufacture historically heavy and borady shafts for the whackers not the swingers Graphite shaft manufacturing has always been about crabon content...... HM XX was an indication of carbon content vs resin in the old days... the higher the HM number the higher the carbon content (I think the J professional weapon shafts were HM80's I seem to recall) The problemin the early days was catering for the X stiff and low torque guys.. the only way was top carbon content, cheap shafts used Boron in the tip section to strengthen the weakest point (companies played on folks ignorance and marketed shafts on Boron Certified stickering.. it's was a godadmn contaminant in a cheap crap shaft!) No doubt nanotech should make shafts cheaper and maybe iron out the kinks in today manufacturing processes but I'm skeptical... I hate light shafts so maybe the nano craze won't be so good for the guys who like heavy hitters.... It's not just Graphite, sandvik have a nano steel available, the walls can be made thinner and it's stronger... not seen any shafts as of yet... nano Tiitanium ??? Beats having to watch your Fuji every time someone bumps against it or scratches it. Perhaps the big quantum leap is in ball technology for this, Ive not read up on it too much but I think the improvements will be minimal.... and costly too! I ain't expecting 30 extra yards coz I'm a born skeptic but it wouldn't be that good, it would ruin golf in my mind... my length and power is in my own natural ability and atheltisism.. the equipment only lets me tap into that.. not substitute for the lack thereof :smile2:

Custom stuff in the UK comes with serial # on the ferrule.. and therein lies the problem... most of what is touted as tour is just reshafted stuff. Want tour, buy an 983X http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW

Could they be ordered completely blank (expect for the grain flow stamp) and raw ???

If the photos are to be believed (and it's not some optical illusion) it does look like the cally design... in theory by reducing the upper surafce area, (flat area between the dimples) you increase the voulme of the dimples making it more aerodynamic. Given it might not be a hex but it would not be a perfectly round dimple as they can't interlock into a seamless 3D pattern in a lattice network design i.e the ridge that makes the wall of the dimple wouldn't be uniform.

As said before, the Callaway technology is termed tubular lattice network... the little 'pipe' that forms the dimple ridge is Callaway technology... it can form a hex, a circle , square or triangle... if you've ever bought a box of HX blue or reds, it's on the box!

That photo is Callaways tubular lattice network (or HEX dimples for you guys) no doubt about it. Titleist prob are using it on tour but can't market or sell these balls (unless they want to cough up the cash to Cally)

Titleist is for the golfing purists, just like the scratch tour blades, plain simple no fussiness, funky paint jobs etc but it has got a Ho following too so it can't be the tech element..it's just the name. Like S.C putters, too many Ho's are stamp crazy and want 'tunables' so they can blame the weight cartridge set up rather than their own game!

You guys are lucky we allowed you to import the greatest game ever from us, The Scottish! Golf that be! the sports you lot have invented are s**t!! Grid Iron, Basketball, Baseball.. all rather dull and vehicles for advertisments basically, as entertainment goes... I'd rather pull my toenails out with white hot pliers! And you Canadians haven't got much to laugh about, chasing a bar of soap around a frozen puddle on ice skates or even better, tree hugging as a sport c'mon, chopping branches off logs isn't sport, that's 'gardening' :wah:

The silver Ion thing sounds cool, you can end up with a spotty forehead while sweating with a cap on but something that stops the pores on your head clogging up would be better No sure about the socks = driving distance.... wonder how many yards it would add on that other website of bold claims , 20+yds ??? :smile1: The hat shape is a great idea though, not all hats fit my head either.

... only gripe about the CBS41 the bottle holder, it doesn't accomodate Coke 500ML plastic bottles (or taller containers)... I think that's been changed on the 51 from looking at the pictures... the color scheme isn't as nice as the 41 as rlheiman says. If you buy one you may want to paint some clear lacquer onto the little zip tassles as the white Titleist paint wears off pretty quick.

... .I'd love a few crafted in cobalt ??? :smile2: Can't pay that sort of cash for blunt grooves in 3 years!
