Callaway is made by Lamkin.

Took out my set PW(GigaGolf hybrid iron)of 46*, replaced with a Cleveland CBX Zipcore of 46*, for more versatility, and I have CBX2's in 50*, 54*, and 58*. The CBX2's replaced an aging set of Cleveland 900's at 52*, 56*, and 60*. These wedges work well for me, and are very predictable with most shots. With these clubs having microgrooves, I bought a set of stretch headcovers to protect them while in the bag. Every club in my bag has a headcover...

Still working full time, and don't get off early enough most days to even go to the range. So, it's the weekends. Usually, I don't like playing prime time on Saturday, as the courses are packed, but if I do, it's a later tee time like 2pm, or even later in mid summer. Sunday afternoon is when I like to play, and again later in the day, as most players are done, except for a handful of us.. When I retire in the not so distant future, I will play more golf during the week, and maybe join a seniors league...

I am stating it because she is not exactly accurate with her tee shots, and I think it would help her. I don't care about distance, but she might just play better, and it might help her if she kept her feet on the ground...She can play anyway she wants, it is just my observation.. No need to get excited, this is just conversation.

Lexi did play better this past weekend. Not understanding her swing with the "leap" at contact. I think she would be more accurate keeping the feet planted. Surprised her coach doesn't say something to her...

Why are we not talking about Lydia Ko! She won the Tournament of Champions at Lake Nona, and now in contention at the Drive On. She is just a heartbeat away from the Hall Of Fame! I know she has had played some great golf early in her career, struggled along the way, went thru a few caddies in a short period of time, changed equipment sponsors (Ping in her bag), has recently gotten married, and is playing some really solid golf. I enjoy watching the LPGA. There are a few long hitters on this tour, but they really play for accuracy, especially on approach shots. Some really great putters on this tour also.. And, they keep the round moving! Very seldom do I see these pros take forever to mull over a club selection. Let's see how Lydia fares in the rest of the tournament. If she wins the Drive On, she will be inducted into the LPGA HOF! She is only 1 point away...

In the article, she said she tested the the Tour, and the Tour S. She liked both, but chose the Tour. Less spin, more distance, lower flight, better results around the green for her. Also, she will be playing the Cobra Darkspeed driver.

Thank you for the b-day wishes. Have a round set up for tomorrow...

Like most folks, I did top my 3w a lot in the fairway, off the deck, and then read an article from a teaching pro about hitting your fairway clubs just like an iron, and setting up with the ball in the center of your stance. Been good with it since. I usually get these lazer like "stingers", and get about 190-200 yards on good contact...

As I lose too many golf balls during the season from wayward drives, I don't play "premium" golf balls. I play a value ball like the Maxfli Softfli. Good distance, helps me to try to stay in the fairway most of the time. Not so bad around the green, when struck well with a wedge. I would like to play a "better" ball, but not for me at this time. Most of them have too much spin off the tee for me. I have tried quite a few premium balls, and come back to a two-piece balls, which have less spin of the tee. I have heard the argument about all balls being equal off the tee! Sorry, not so! And I have heard this from low capper players that gave complained that certain premium balls spin too much for them off the tee. High capper here, and sticking with my value ball at this time...

I game Cleveland wedges(CBX2's) like I have since I started playing this game in 98. I have a Callaway Diablo Octane 3-wood that may never leave my bag. I have a Snake Eyes hybrid that may also never leave my bag. I play a Ping G410 SFT that might be in my bag for some time to come. I curently play GigaGolf hybrid irons, but, the jury is still out, even after 3 seasons with them. I have a Cleveland HB Soft 11c center shafted putter, which I just keep getting better with each round, when I do play. I due my homework on each club(s) I choose to play, read reviews, try them out, if possible, pick the brain of the salesperson on the floor of the b+m store, to see if they are knowledgeable of the products they sell. Swinging in the sim is a big deal for me, but I would rather test on a course. Long is not the end all for me! I want accuracy, and can this club perform for me in the manner I want. I kind of move around on golf balls, though I do not play tour type balls, because of spin off the tee. I am currently gaming a house brand from DSG, Maxfli Softfli, which was on sale, so I will be playing this ball for awhile. I am a high capper, but that IS NOT because of the clubs I have in my bag. I just don't play, and/or practice enough during a season. Just played Sunday to a 93, after not playing for close to 2 months.

Exactly! That is what I do. I am a high capper, and change the golf ball in my bag from time to time. I play a ball for a certain time,say 4-6 rounds, and determine if this ball is helping me. If not, on to the next choice. I take my time choosing. I read the mfg's. take on the ball, and then read reviews. Right now playing a ball that I have played before, and feel comfortable with this ball, as I am not playing a lot at this time. Been at least a month since I last played. Will be playing a round in a couple of weeks, and this ball will help me stay in the fairway, for the most part. No expectations for my round, just to have some fun on the course...

This has been a subject of discussion for a couple of years now that they are "loft jacking".. Nobody thought about the lower end of the bag, where you might have to add clubs if you play wedges to 60*. If they sell them in the set, say up to the AW, or GW, might as well buy them, then fill in the rest with specialty wedges. I won't buy a set of clubs if the PW is not 45*-46*. Back in the day a PW was 50*-51* on most sets. Now, a PW is 41*-42*, so now you have to fill in 2 clubs just to get to your SW, at 54*-56*, with reasonable gapping.. During a round, a buddy says he hit his 9 iron on that hole, and asked what I used. I said my 7 iron. He says he would have sailed the green using a 7. I said look at your lofts, as they are stronger than mine. He wasn't having it! I said you play yours, I'll play mine...

Nowhere to fashion a closed ziptie or two, and then clip everything to those. Or maybe tie in a small bungie to the cart material, and hang stuff off of that. Must be someway to make it more accomodating. Make a couple of small holes to tie in a ziptie or two. Or maybe try to rivet some plastic loops to the side of the bag. Use your imagination...

Here we go with "loft jacking". PITA as far as I am concerned. Really is changing the game as we know it. Yup, gotta stick another wedge of some kind to fill gaps at the low end, if you want to play with 56*, 60* wedges. Not responding to this topic any further!!
