  1. i never watched the tapes but... they make the little baseball bat club now that he uses in that infomercial...i hit some shots with it at my club, it feels and looks ridiculous... ive never been a big fan of golf instruction videos and the testimonials, id rather just go and figure it out on my own...
  2. unless youre playing in like high heels or moccasons i dont think its really something thats affecting your swing
  3. hip, your avatar seriously had me laughing for about 45 minutes.
  4. torque...the amount of twist in a shaft, measured in degrees, usually between 1.5 and 5.0
  5. guys please correct me if im wrong in any of these... -torque is how much the shaft turns the clubhead, or the effort required to turn the clubhead...thats really poorly worded, maybe someone else can help me with that definition -a shaft's kickpoint is exactly that, the point where it kicks.... a lower kickpoint will launch the ball highest and not feel as stiff as a shaft with a mid or high kickpoint -tipping is trimming the tip end of the shaft before installation. the more you tip it, the stiffer the shaft plays... -spinning or as some people call it puring...is having the shaft analyzed so that the spine of the shaft is aligned and installed in the clubhead in the most optimal way... laterz!
  6. i just had to post about this...some of you will not give a s**t so please ignore...those of you who do, trust what i say... if theres any hard rock fans on the board...seether's new album, "karma and effect" is probably one of the best albums ive heard in a long time... check it out... peace!
  7. i got a 4... ive only been to canada once, when i was in college, and i dont remember how i got back...
  8. any chance you can post a pic of it? id be interested to see...
  9. rossa mezza monza centershaft, 35" brand spankin' new...headcover and all...still has plastic on sole... $80 shipped holla...
  10. the sole resembles the original 500 series, unlike the XD retail series with the sharp edges...it'll have the TP crest on the toe as opposed to "titanium"...the serial number will be TXXXXX, possibly with a batch letter above it, or will have no serial number at all...sets up square to open, as opposed to the retails which mostly sit closed...feels and sounds more solid instead of the hollow sound of the retail...a lot more difficult to find since theyre not released for retail, also costing a lot more....tip diameter is .335 instead of the .350 on the retail... i have two R580XD TP's and can say from experience that theyre a much better feeling and performing club than the retail...id expect no less of the 540's... theyre worth the money, in my opinion
  11. measure the tip diameter...in most cases, if its a parallel its .370, and if its taper its .355
  12. could be a lot of things... most commonly ball position, too much head movement, and/or weight shift issues
  13. i like him...it balances out...you have a neutral commentator in dan hicks and jim nantz, and then you have analysts like miller and lanny wadkins with a little bit of attitude and abrasiveness...it works out well...read his book, "i call the shots"...you might understand him a little better then....i promise, the guy knows what hes talking about. its the people like bobby clampett and peter kostis who make the most moronic calls on the course...i swear ive heard more dumb s**t come from those two than every analyst combined...
  14. ditched the steelhead, picked up a DF in a 9.5 and i love it with the new swing...loft is now my friend instead of my enemey... probably gonna ditch the R7 TP, but i never really liked it anyways...i'll stick with the 500 series... just might order a set of 32's if funds work out right :love:
  15. titleist 970. mines taking a break from my bag due to some swing changes, but it will be back.
  16. agreed, id have had the 690s in my bag for the past year if they didnt have a topline the width of a pencil
  17. so last night my girlfriend was in a "period piece" mood, so we went to get a DVD, and she picked "about a boy" ...with that hugh grant dude... first of all, i must admit, i thought it was hilarious. second...the band who did the soundtrack for the whole film was AMAZING. theyre called badly drawn boy. does anyone have info on them? i know theyre from the UK, so maybe someone on here from across the pond can supply some info? i checked online but wasnt able to find much...thanks y'all!
  18. "when i was on acid i realized that butter was way better than margerine. i saw through the bulls**t" -mitch hedberg
  19. michael jackson not guilty on all 10 charges and lesser charges.... what a blow to the DA... comments?
  20. what kills me is spray margerine...thats hilarious. you can spray it just like windex.
  21. an aluminum baseball bat or an ol' louisville slugger?
  22. screw an election... washington idol. im diggin' it... winner gets to be president, and has to complete tasks created by ted kennedy, keith richards, carmen electra, and jim nantz. each week one poor bastard gets voted off but has the choice to fight a member of congress in a cage match as a second option. deion sanders will host it.
  23. with the 904 you shouldnt, its relatively small...sometimes the bigger heads look a little funnier at address when you bend them... you technically can bend anything, as long as you know what youre doing...
