Bought a pair of Sketchers Max Sport yesterday. $89.00 Very comfortable and water resistant. Sole will give you a grip anywhere.

Been playing Ping G700s for past 2 years with Alta A shafts. Great clubs. The ball goes long, high and straight. Demoed JPX 900s prior to purchase and went with the Pings because of better dispersion. Distance was about the same for both models.

Did look at member testing reviews. Hybrid info was minimal. Only way to know if the club is any good is to try it yourself. Anyway got two nine hole rounds with the Hogan 4 hybrid on Fri and Sat. My impression so far is that the club is a fairway finder off the tee. Works well from the fairway and light rough. Am averaging 170 -175 yard carry. And the ball goes where you aim. Had two bad shots and they were from bad swings. Six shots from the tee with five in the fairway. The other drew left into a fairway bunker. Six shots from the fairway or rough with the two bad swings going right off the toe. Overall I'm impressed. Club is a quality build and looks good. Am playing again tomorrow and if I hit it well as I did last week will definitely keep the club.

Expecting a Hogan VKTR+ to arrive today on a try and buy. 22deg, Recoil F2 a flex. Good reviews. So we'll see. Looking to replace a 4 yr old Mizuno 919. Will report how that goes.

John Georgetown, Texas Don't walk but I should. At 75 need the exercise. Used to use a pull cart alot but that was 20 yrs ago.

The Destin area has alot of good golf. Check out Blue Water Bay. Nice course.

Happy Veterans Day to all who have served and are serving especially my fellow Vietnam vets.

Comment from an old fart, age 75. Have recoil shafts in a couple woods but have upgraded to UST Helium in my current driver and 3 wood which perform even better. Playing Ping G700s in my irons with Ping Alta sr flex shafts. Still get good distance with all and easy on the joints. Avg 230 with the driver and 150 with 6 iron. Exercise program also helps.

John Sutch, Georgetown, TX Newport 2 Would be interested in any of the blade type putters

Played for the first time in 2 months last week. First 2 drives out of the gate with the SZ were slices. Turned my right hand under a little more and it straightened everything out. Also try the 8 deg draw setting. Works for me.

If you can try a 44.5 inch shaft, go to R flex and a little lighter say 55 grams. I had a lot of problems with heel strikes and the shorter shaft allowed for consistent center face strikes. My swing speed is about the same. May help.

Srixon makes a very good ball for use on a windy day.. Shot an 84 today in a two club wind using a Q Star Tour. Ball performed really well.

I purchased a standard Speedzone because it did go 10 yds farther.
