MacGregor Bobby Grace MOI M5K, centershafted
Putter is 34". Got this putter (righthanded) recently in a trade. It came with some horrible grip (not original) which I changed to a blue Royal STS putter grip. (Looks sweet.) Never tried centershafted before and thought I'll give it a shot. Unfortunatelly nothing about this putter looks right to me. It is in easy 9 of 10 condition. Copper insert darkend a bid. If necessary I can restore that easily to its original red colour. Comes with original white headcover. $110 US plus shipping haribo

FootJoy Classic Dry Premiere shoes
Not sure if this interests anybody but I figure it can't hurt to try. I bought a while back online 2 pairs of FootJoy Classic Dry Premiere's. Although I got my foot size measured before purchase I somehow ended up with shoes that are too small in size for me. What a bummer. I'm pretty disappointed as you can imagine. I wore each pair only once. One round (painful!!!!!!) and the other pair only on the range. Thought I'd give it another shot but believe me I couldn't get fast enough off the range and out of these shoes. Well, as nice as these shoes are they are sitting in a closet since then and collecting dust. Both pairs are size 8E style # 50218 Burgundy with black saddle and style # 50225 Black with brown corbellino saddle. This pair are blems but I can honestly not see what the blem is. $100 US each plus shipping. haribo

WTB: CAllaway Great Big Berhta II 415 tour issue
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think there's much difference between a retail and a tour 415. As far as I know Callaway doesn't do much differently other than fitting it to some Pro's specs. Probably the only real difference would be the lack of a serial number. Speaking of serial number, I got a 415 I ordered custom from Callaway with a speeder 757. Great club and it doesn't have a serial number either. If it still needs to be a tour version check out callawaypreowned.com. They have now Tour 415's listed (all with stock BB60 shaft, though) haribo

Primo's final rant of the year...
CM, You must be kidding. Primo, Unless one enjoys year round golf conditions ... this is pretty much it for the summer. It's seize the moment or wait until next year. Give it a bid more time and people will put divots on their keyboards again. haribo

Wedge Help - What do you like and why?
I don't mean to argue here anything. I was just giving MY opinion. Tried all kind of retail wedges. Cleveland, Vokey, Mizuno, etc. etc. To be blunt I didn't like any of them. The only wedges before I got Scratch one's that were half decent were Trusty Rusty's. They gave me the versatility I was looking for but still had a few flaws. At least for my game. I went with Scratch not because I liked the reviews. I went with Scratch because they could do for me exactly what I wanted. Don't have somebody at hand who can grind clubs for me the way I want. Ari and I had lengthy discussions and at the end I inspired them to a grind even they never did before. The wedges turned out great. One of them I actually sent back for further improvements. Again, I knew exactly what I wanted to be changed and they could accomodate my wishes. To give Ari credit he had a some pretty good ideas how to make things even better. Btw, same thing happened to the third wedge I ordered recently and hopefully will receive today. Again, something even they didn't do before. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Pro but due to a lot of practise and experimenting I figured out what I want in a wedge. Since I'm not a touring proI don't belief Cleveland or Mizuno or whoever would do that for me. haribo

Wedge Help - What do you like and why?
First, I really like my Scratch wedges. I'll be playing them until the grooves wear out. And then I'll get new ones. To me the softness of the steel is secondary. What's most important is that they are made to my specs and perform for me. Second, I don't really care what Tour players think. Frankly, why are these guys complaining anyway? They get their clubs for free. So what's their problem? Plus, with the amount these guys practise they would go through 2 to 3 sets of wedges anyway. Doesn't matter how soft or hard the steel is. haribo

Coming Over The Top!
Here's a little drill you can do even at home, permitting you have the space to swing a club freely. For righthanded players, lefties adjust accordingly. Take a club, let's say your 7 iron. Get in your address position like you're about to hit a ball. But before you swing do the following: Take your right hand of the club and grip around your left wrist instead. Now swing the club like this. You'll find that by doing so you're completely taking the right side/arm/shoulder out of the occasion. Hence making it physically impossible to come over the top. Do that as often as possible to get a feel for it. I actually go even further and integrated a modified version of this drill into my pre-shot routine. when doing my practise swings, instead of grabing my left wrist I place my right hand on top of my left. This is a bid closer to my actuall grip but still gives me the similar sensation as the drill does. Good luck. haribo

Hitting Wedges Fat!!
Try the following: (for righthanded player) Get in your basic address position, square to target. Posititon the ball at the toe of your right foot while putting your feet close together, almost touching each other. Now pull your left foot back about half a foot. Yes, sounds/feels awkward at first but give it a try. It will restrict your backswing slightly but no worries, you don't need a full swing for 50-70 yards anyway. It also will help you to avoid to sway. With a delicate shot like this the tiniest weight shift will make you hit your shots fat. Good luck, haribo

Anyone put cotton in their R7 to get rid of the ting?
Cotton????? That's sooooo boring. I've expected better from you. How about this: Put some dry, crushed ice into the head. Then pour in a dash of vermouth followed by some Grey Goose vodka. Try 6-8 parts vodka to 1 part vermouth for best results. After 18 holes you should end up with a wicked Martini. Shaken not stirred. haribo

player CB vs "GI" player CB
Well, frankly my opinion about this will get me flamed for sure. Here it goes anyway. I belief clubs don't make someone a player at all. Doesn't matter what style of clubs a person plays. The simple categorisation into Game Improvement, Player's CB's or whatever in a marketing tool and means squad otherwise. IMO consistantly playing in the low 70's on different courses makes someone a player. I have several friends who are close to scratch or even better than that and they play Callaway or Ping or whatever. Bottomline is a player (like we all should) will choose always tools he is comfortable with. Period. Being an equipment fan or afficionado is a totally different story. We all can appreciate the design of a MR-23 Mizuno or Scratch iron, cb or muscle blade, etc. etc. But to say one cb is a player's club and another club that's slightly bigger in design is not ... well, that's a silly and mute discussion all together. Discussion like this lead only to even more silly questions. Like this for instance: Is a true player less of a player just because he uses GI irons to shoot around par? haribo P.S. Due to lack of playing I'm a 11 handicap currently. I call that intermediate. Even if I would switch to any GI irons right now ... I most likely still wouldn't be able to shoot par. On the other hand, as you can see in my WITB I play Firesole Forged irons. They are slightly bigger in design than other CB's. But does that make them more or less a player's club??? Maybe we should ask Ernie Els. Either way I don't know and frankly I don't care. I simply like their looks and feel very comfortable with them. That's all that matters to me. Flame away.

scratch wedges
I just ordered another wedge from Ari. Regarding price as far as I know the non-custom stock wedges will cost what the customs go for now. While the price for the customs will increase by about $100. Hope I remember that correctly but I'm sure Ari will clarify things. haribo
