    Putter

    Afternoon all, I've been putting very well with a Ray Cook, Billy Baroo putter, on loan from my father in law. He's a tall gentleman and when he purchased the putter, in America, he had the shaft extended to 36" from 34". I've recently bought an Odyssey white hot putter. It has the same feel...

    Shaft length

    I would like a matching set in my bag! They're also setup as red dot, I have black dot irons, I assume Ping would change the loft and lie for me? Rescue is a little hit and miss, distance wise around 200 with 21*. Although I do struggle with FW and the rescue. I'm more consistent with long irons.

    Shaft length

    Thank you for the response. I only ask, as although I'm an amatuer, I thought I might see less distance with both irons because of the shaft length? I am currently using a Callaway X16 3 iron and getting over 200 from it.

    Shaft length

    Afternoon all, I currently have a set of Ping G5 irons (5-PW). I am looking to purchase matching 3&4 irons. I have found both irons for sale on eBay. The seller, has had both shafts cut by 1/4" by his local pro. In theory, if I bought both clubs and had my local pro install shaft extenders...

    Shaft length

    Thanks for the reply. I am pretty confident the shaft has not been trimmed. I forgot to mention, on the bottom of the shaft, just above the head, the original label is still in place. It states it's a shaft from an RBZ 4 hybrid. This confirmed what I already thought about the shaft being...

    Shaft length

    Hello, I have purchased a TM RBZ 3 hybrid, second hand. It's arrived and is in really good condition. There is a problem though! The shaft is genuine, but has been taken from a TM RBZ 4 hybrid. The shaft length is 1/2 inch shorter. I have a TM Superfast 4 hybrid, so I know the length and know...

    Hybrid or wood

    I should have mentioned, I've tried Cleveland, Srixon, Wilson and Yonex fairway woods. With regards to hybrids, I've got a TM Burner rescue (5 iron equivalent) and have tried a Wilson hybrid (head to heavy). If I'm honest it's the distance that interests me! A hybrid seems easier to hit, but I...

    Hybrid or wood

    I am looking for a club that falls between my driver and 5 iron. Not entirely sure if I should go with a fairway wood or hybrid? I've tried 3, 5 and 7 woods (all TM Bubble) and when I caught them sweet it felt effortless. However, I struggled with the shaft length and that's why I'm tempted to...

    Re-grip.....

    Greetings to all, I have bought a new grip for my driver, Cleveland Hi-Bore XL 10.5, regular flex Fujikara graphite shaft. Thought I would strip the old Lamkin grip and tape. I used my Stanley, but noticed a fine knife mark half the length of the grip. It doesn't look very deep, wondering if it...

    I take it you mean, see the ball in my stance? Yes, I can see the whole ball.

    Newbie..

    The 2nd and 17th were closed when I played there two weeks ago. I ended up playing the 2nd hole from the 9 hole which was also on a temp green! They were chopping down lots of trees, bushes and shrubery. They have boarded out a path right through the middle of the course. The whole 9 hole is...

    drive4show; I have played the municipal a few times this year. At the moment the Enviroment Agency is working on the course and there are two holes closed. I have been told the works will last for at least six months which is a shame as it would be ideal up there and it's the closest course to...

    My longest drive, multiplying by 1.4, is 364 yards. I'm using a Cleveland Hi-Bore 10.5 degree. :D My swing is fairly consistent, I do have a habit of looking for the ball down the fairway before I have played the shot. I am assuming that is something all golfer a do when they start playing?! I...
