:thumbsup

Looks lovely.

While Michigan has it's share of bullshit disadvantages. We do have plenty of golf courses and lakes. Also cheap labor when it comes to models (compared to FL, NY, LA). :winkwink:

Most of it looks really nice from what i've seen (especially the golf courses)

As for disadvantages that could be said for everywhere.

And the cheap labor? why do you think i'm in Canada at the moment :winkwink:
Model fees in the UK were fucking stupid.

i went and checked it out.. got no model number on it, just "burner", guess it is the 2008 burner.. 10.5 degree stiff shaft

and btw, i made a 3 put after and noted my usual bogie score.

Thats a good driver :thumbsup

But oops on the bogie :(

I need to get better at playing par 5s. I can quite easily par and sometimes birdie par 3s.
if i'm playing reasonable I can par and bogie par 4's.
But par 5's I usually seem to bogie, double bogie or even worse :(

I tee off with a small taylor made tour spoon. It's got a very small head and clubface, which I like. I never got used to swinging one of those bighead drivers slowly around, seems so weird. I swing with a lot of torque and clubhead speed, and find that the smaller head just feels better to me.

I grew up playing with blade clubs though from the 60's, where if you missed the sweet spot, you were screwed (and so were your hands from the vibrations) but if you DID hit the sweet spot, pure butter. Nowadays my irons have small heads too. I have the Nike Pro Combo ones that are cavity back on the long irons, and blades for the short irons. Anyways here's the spoon:

Yeah, I couldn't hit with the Callaway either. I tried the Nike SQ Sumo2 as well, but I seemed to just keep dragging the back of that long duckbill along the ground after i hit the ball. I don't know what it is about that one but it sure didn't like my swinging style.

Retro I Like it :thumbsup

These are pretty much like what I first played with:

I think the driver had a metal insert on the face aswell :1orglaugh

The FT-5 is horrible. I hit one really good shot with it In total. the rest have hooked one way or another. It's the strangest club i've ever had.

I've never hit one of the square headed drivers. but I guess you could easily do what your saying there. probably just drags on the floor if you don't tee it up high enough. the FT-iq looks pretty good but If it's anything like the FT-5 i don't wanna buy one.

Weather Permitting, I should be going to try it out properly on the course tomorrow or the day after.

I'll post a thread with what happened and a few pics :)

sounds like you have a solid short game, just need to warm up the driver.
recently i picked up a hybrid 5 (wood?) which is great for those having a hard time with a long iron and a great addition to most bags..

dont know you physical condition, but i recommend body core and stretching exercises..
all the power is generated from your core muscles and as we all know, you need not me a muscle man to drive far..

I think I try to hard on the longer holes because of the distance and swinging to fast obviously causes more problems because of not swinging in tempo.

My short game is probably good because my old house in England backed on to a 9 par 3 golf course and an 18 hole course. so I used to play there a lot.

But yeah stretching is another thing I need to work on, I usually just warm up on the range with a few shots and don't really do any stretches (which I should)

My putting needs a little work aswell :upsidedow
