    ball compression to swing speed

    Is your 7i 143 yd a carry or total distance? Just trying to compare to mine. Thanks.

    ball compression to swing speed

    My driver swing speed is in the mid 80's and I also play the Q-star tour. The softer feel off my irons irons is a comfortable fit and the increased launch adds to my short game.

    Cleveland Halo XL Hybrids and Hy-Wood Review

    I had the original Hy-wood but could never get comfortable with the 60.5° lie angle. This release (17°) is 59° and with a 1/2 inch longer shaft. That should be a positive change for me, I will demo this one for sure. Jman - Thanks again for your reviews, enjoy them all. Anyone know when the new...

    Any Myrtle Beach Recos?

    Our MB group (12-14 golfers) have played MB for the past 12 years each March/April (1 week). We've narrowed our favorite restaurants to 3 and will do them again this year. Carolina Roadhouse (mentioned above), Fiesta Mexicana and Luigi's (Italian). I would recommend reservations, especially with...

    Who is your Mt Rushmore of wrestlers?

    My picks would have to be from the mid 50's and the early days of TV wrestling. If you grew up in Michigan then you'll remember these 4: Bobo Brazil, The Sheik, Dick the Bruiser and Leapin' Larry Chene. I saw Chene wrestle at our local high school when he became my favorite. That was 1957 & I...

    What golf stuff did you buy today?

    4 dozen yellow Srixon Q-Star Tour balls 1/2 price from amazon. I just read that the promotion is over now.

    Srixon Balls - Amazon Deal - better than the Buy 2 Get 1 Free. It's BUY ONE GET ONE FREE (Diamond, Z Star, Q Star, etc)

    I just ordered 4 dozen Q-Star Tour (yellow) for the price of 2 dozen. They should arrive tomorrow (Tuesday). Actually my wife ordered them on her Amazon account, she made it look so easy. ;)

    Tour Edge Exotics C723 and E723 Drivers

    I went to a local Demo Days this weekend and saw both drivers - E723 & C723. They had no LH heads to try but their rep said LH would be available soon. Looks wise the tops (ridgeback) remain very close to last year. The extra rim of titanium around the edge is not a problem visually, you need to...

    Callaway Paradym Drivers

    I've been reading everything I can find about the Paradym driver line and enjoying the possibilities for my game. Does anyone know the height differences of the face of the three options. Listing them from tallest to shortest would be interesting. Thanks.

    Really? - Ball Position Incrementally Change with Club Length

    I am confused with understanding the third option. What does "closer to parallel with my my front foot" mean? The front foot is usually flared outward so "parallel" to it and then ball position is where it gets foggy. At my age "foggy" is more frequent than sunny so a little help would be...

    5i...4H...3H...3FW...D Not enough separation between the 4H & 3H, looking to replace 3H with a 5W.
