Club is chopped and waiting to collect - can't be any harder to hit, I'm sure of that. Hopefully get it as freebie seeing as I just bought my new clubs from them but will see.....thanks again!

Yeah it sounded like a great idea when I first started - lighter and longer = faster and further but little did I know that it would be so hard to control. My ss is in the low 90's so I'm just breaking the boundary from regular to stiff. Driving is the most unpredictable part of my game and this...

shewy - thanks. I'm just really trying to make this club playable cheaply as I cant sell it for peanuts and it's just sitting about useless! Foxholer - thanks - Yes it is the 39 series but it's 46.25" long - my new driver is 45" and the Cleveland is definitely longer. This sounds like a good...

Hello I'm hoping for some advice/help. I've an old driver - cleveland xl 270 - that I can't play as it's too long and too light - that's the selling point, I know, but I had just started out when I got this and didn't realise how goddam hard that makes it to hit!! The shaft is regular flex an...

Hi, I have a Cleveland hybrid that replaces a 4 iron. After getting used to it, it’s very easy to hit. The ball flight is high and the distance is long. It is more reliable for me than a 4 iron but I am newish to the game so that's not surprising. I hit it consistently further and higher than...

Acht I only knock my balls in the water when they look dirty :cool:

Thanks, I had real problems finding a wedge that matched the irons as they are old. If I end up hitting a lot of full shots with the PW then I wanted it to have a similar feel to my irons, so I ended up with a 45, same brand newer line. Yep, newcomer/returner and high handicapper! I think...

Cheers for the reply that sounds like some solid advice! Hah well there alway seems to be something between me and the hole but mostly just 3 putts but I'll keep the lob wedge in mind. Not over complicating things with too many options to begin with seems like a good plan. It's good to ask for...

Hi I am looking for advice selecting wedges. I'm sorting out my own clubs after using a borrowed stock set for the last few months. My new irons were missing the pw (46 degree) and I have found a similar replacement at 45 degree loft that's on order. I want to get wedges and have been doing a...

Well I am playing to about the same. I only hit about 30 balls with them but felt totally comfortable. I haven't tried any clubs so not a very good judge of whats out there but I went straight onto the course before the range and hit 'em clean on every shot, with good aim, height and distance...

Aye there's too many too choose from and your head starts to hurt after reading so much stuff! I was looking at some spacehips on sticks but glad I went with something more traditional. Hitting it high and straight everytime sounds so appealing but learning from your mistakes is more valuable I...

HI Foxholer I got my MX 25's today and been out on the range and played a few holes. Brought a smile to my face! I wasn't too sure how difficult I'd find them but they were spot on. The good shots were great and the bad shots had plenty of forgiveness for me. Hitting them flush had a sound and...

Well I just bit the bullet on a decent looking set of MX 25's - £124.60. The set has 3-9 but no PW. I figure I'll pick one up seperately or get a different model. It seemed like a decent deal. Could probably have gotten a cheaper set eventually but I just want to play them...looking on ebay...

tsped83 In some respects it's like riding a bike....kind of.... I've heavy caught the bug this time round tho! I have been looking at Pings, they are pricey but obviously hold their value. But I am really going to try to spend as little as possible. I figure any of the brand clubs will be...

Hi Foxhole, Thanks for taking the time to reply. That's an interesting recommendation. The M 25's are nice looking clubs and there are some cheaper sets on ebay as well as the 17 and 19's. I've been reading a lot of reviews etc and they seem like a good balance between forgiveness and...
