Did you see hole 12 where he took a driver and drove the green to within 6 inches? If his confidence lasted all season, he would have no equals.

If anyone is looking to upgrade their Driver this year, I suggest looking at Rick Shields numbers first. He has tested all relevant drivers side by side for the last 5 years. Some models have produced backwards numbers, despite all the marketing buzz. I really like the idea, and hope he continues this with the irons as well. TitleistTaylormade

My local Ping rep told me they were having a contest to see who can actually mishit the GMax driver. I'm sure there's some hyperbole there, but this guy hasn't talked out of his butt in the past and Ping rarely promises super gains like the other companies. I wasn't in the market for a driver, but he's got me pretty psyched to hit it when he gets the heads in his fitting cart. Their shaft options are really intriguing too.
Doubt it'd kick my 917D2 out of the bag tho.

A Driver you can't mis hit sounds interesting. I'd love to spend The $500 on a new driver but in 4 years when these are in my price range I'll have one but drives rarely hurt my game. It's lack of greens in regulation killing me.

Fuck anyone who plays golf in January. I envy you. We can play tennis here, though:

Not ready to play the front tees yet, plus my league plays from the whites. I use mostly Hybrids from 135yds out. I bought a Rossie Blade Odyssey Putter for $5 at a garage sale late last season, had it re gripped. Played a few closing out rounds in October and I couldn't believe what a difference a high quality putter made. We'll see if the magic continues this season or was it new club luck?

I'm a putter whore. I currently have 8 Scotty Camerons (sold 2 last year) and a couple Odysseys. I only bought one of them new though. The rest I found in various beat up conditions and spend the winters restoring, painting, and regripping them. This is the putter corner in my golf room:

That might explain the lack of greens. I bag a 19 degree hybrid that gaps my 5 iron and 5 wood, but it's a hook machine. More of a "aim to the right and pray" kind of club. Use it as a last resort (thick rough/need to hook around a tree).

I used to carry a 19* hook machine as well. After a year of babying my swing with it, I just gave up. Got a M2 5 wood that goes just as far. So easy to hit.
