You are SICK! But what's with the neoprene head cover for the irons! LOL.

I'll not swing the club without the compression band! Buy a few and leave one in the bag, in the car, etc.

Consultnj, Good morning! Smooth swing - shafts in the high 50 grams to mid 60 grams are good with mid torque. SS 90 mph - you could be an in-betweener of R flex and S flex. Stay with R flex for more distance or tip no more than 1/2" for little stiffer but not to a sitff for more accuracy. High ball flight - assuming we are talking about ballooning, then you want a shaft with a mid to mid/high kick point. Spin - I don't have any experience with either the Comp or the G5. I'm leaning toward the Axiv 6060M or the Diamana Red M63 ®. Please read the thread "Graphite Shaft 101" for a brief review on graphite shafts.

Damn +1, that's harsh on the boy, LOL! Seriously, tennis elbow (or lateral epicondylitis) is a condition when the outer part of the elbow becomes painful and tender, usually as a result of a specific strain, overuse, or a direct bang. Golf elbow (or medial epicondylitis) is to the opposite side or the inner side of the elbow. For short term treatments, don't hit balls off of the mats and practice putting instead. In the morning, prior to getting out of bed, massage the elbow and then stretching the elbow by bending the extending the arm. Also, get small dixie cups, fill them with water and freeze them. Once frozen, you want to cut out the bottom and use the ice to massage the elbow in small circular motion. Iced no more than 10 to 15 minutes (you don't want to injure the nerve tissues). Over-the-counter pain medications such as Aleve, Advils, etc. are fine. Seek medical treatment if the pain does not goes away within 3 to 5 days. You may need stronger medications. Cortisone/steroid should be the last resort since it masks the pain but not treating the injured area. Get an MRI to rule out tearing of the tissue where it connects to the joint. If you cannot stand the idea of staying away from hitting balls ... then try equine linament, available at equestrian related stores. The stuff works but leaves a garlic taste therefore don't expect your golfing buddies to play with you! Graphite shafts do not help if there is a flaw in the swing! I was out of golf for over 10 months the last two years combined because of the elbow problem.

The material is within the Beta Titanium Alloys family (the other members are: alpha and alpha beta). Beta or near beta alloys are: fully heat treatable, weldable, capable of high strengths, possess good creep resistance up to intermediate temperature, and excellent formability can be expected in the beta alloys in the solution treated condition Beta-type alloys have good combinations of properties in sheet, as fasteners and are ideal for sporing applications. Some alloys offer uniform property levels through heavy sections. The higher alloy content of beta alloys increases the density of beta alloys typically by 7-10% compared to Ti6Al4V. The typical beta titanium alloys used in golf club face are: 15V-3Cr-3Al-3Sn titanium, 15Mo-5Zr-3Al titanium, 13V-11Cr-3Al titanium, and 15V-6Cr-4Al titanium, which have high strength and can be formed thin (high C.O.R.!).

It kills me to see joe golfer with these 460cc heads teeing the ball low, back and with a descending swing into the ball resulting in more back spins and no distance. Play with me and you get tees of 3 1/4" long!

What is Center of Gravity, and How Does It Affect the Shot? The center of gravity (CG) of any object is the one small point which represents the intersection of all the possible balance points of that object. In a golf clubhead, the CG can be determined by balancing the head on its face, sole, or any place on the head – the intersection inside of the head of all these different balance points is the center of gravity of the clubhead. Because the center of gravity is a single point inside the clubhead, its location has to be defined in 3-dimensions. This means that a clubhead has a vertical CG location (how high up in the head the CG from the sole). It also has a horizontal CG location (how far over it is from the center of the shaft in the hosel of the head). Finally, the center of gravity is also defined by how far back from the face it is located. The lower the center of gravity and the farther back the center of gravity is from the face of the club, the higher the trajectory of the shot will be for any given loft angle on the clubhead. Of the two CG locations that affect the height of the shot, the CG back from the face has a greater effect on the height of the shot than does the vertical CG (up from the sole). The horizontal center of gravity location, or how far the CG is over from the center of the shaft, is a design factor that affects the accuracy of the shot. The closer the CG is to the shaft, the less tendency there will be for the golfer to push or fade the ball offline. And the farther the center of gravity is from the shaft, the more tendency there will be for the golfer to push or fade the ball offline. The reason is that the closer the center of gravity is to the shaft, the lower the moment of inertia about the shaft axis will be, and the greater the tendency will be for the golfer to rotate the face of the club less open/more closed by the time the head gets to impact with the ball. The farther the CG from the shaft, the higher the MOI will be about the shaft axis, and the greater the tendency for the golfer to leave the face of the club open/less closed by the time the head gets to impact with the ball. The center of gravity position in the clubhead is initially controlled by the height, width and breadth of the head. After that, it is influenced by how much of the head's weight is placed in different areas of the clubhead. The taller the clubhead and/or the more weight that is placed on the upper portions of the head, the higher the position of the CG will be in the head. The more shallow the clubhead and/or the more weight that is placed on the bottom or sole of the head, the lower the position of the center of gravity will be. The deeper the head shape from face to back and the more weight is positioned in the very rear of the head, the farther back the position of the center of gravity will be (and vice-versa for narrow head shapes and/or weight placed more in the face area of the head). Finally, the longer the head from heel to toe and/or the more weight that is placed out on the toe side of the head, the farther the center of gravity will be from the shaft (and conversely, the shorter the head from heel to toe and/or the more weight that is placed on the heel side of the head, the closer the CG will be to the shaft).

Very sweet looking! :tsg_smilie_smile:

Please attach images of the actual items listed. Thanks.

I really like the I65, which Joe blue printed in the Alpha Reaction C380.2. I tend to be a little jerky from the top and this shaft provides a very smooth transition. In addition, here is no ballooning at the apex of ball flight. Very nice mid trajectory. I can't quite determine the roll factor yet!

For those members using Firefox as the web browser instead of Internet Explorer (IE), up in the right hand corner is the "Latest Headlines," which links to various sites with the latest headlines. I like it because it provides news provided by the BBC!

Please attach photos of the actual product listed. Thanks.

Putting clips from Pelz ... those things help me moving the club back and forth in addition to the two-club on the ground.

Bugs fixed. If wedges are still available for purchase, please attach photo(s). Thanks.

You are now able to attach photos/images. Please attach photo(s) of the clubs. Thanks.

TSG fixed all the bugs so please attach photos of the actual product. Also, no link to active Ebay item. Thanks.

That is a very good looking driver. I wonder what the face is composed of.

May be the new name for US products because GD USA has the right to the name in the US.

No member bashing. No bad language. Please edit comments or this poll will be closed. Ben

I practice to prevent the putter from moving all over the places by setting two clubs parallel and slightly wider than the width of the putter and hold the putter slightly off of the ground.

No problem regarding the pictures. I'm currently working on getting the pictures Dcc14 emailed to me posted. Hopefull this issue can be resolved soon. Thanks, Ben

Whew! $1K :rolleyes:

Ari, I just PM'd you with questions. Thanks, Ben

16.6 is a nice number.

Jack, Carefully break the "seal," take more pictures and allow us to lust after it a little more!
