Snoopy has landed - my WIYB!

[snoopy]

Hey all! Fairly new to the forum and thought I'd add share my bag here! I started golf about 6 years ago as a university student on a budget, so the equipment is a bit older and haven't gotten around to upgrading anything....... yet!
 
Bag: Nike Xtreme Sport Lightweight (or something like that - one of their lightweight stand bags)
Driver: I WAS using a Taylormade Burner Superfast.... but more on this later!
3 Wood: Taylormade RBZ, stock stiff shaft
Irons: 3-PW Callaway X-18, stock uniflex
Hybrids: Adams Idea A4OS, 3 (19*) and 4 (22*), stock stiff shafts
Wedges: Cleveland 588DSG 54*, Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 60*
Putter: Nike Unitized Leo

 

 

 

And on that note about my Taylormade Burner Superfast - played it for nearly 2 years, got it as a gift for Christmas in 2011. Unluckily, during my last round of the year, the shaft and driver head snapped at impact! The head flew about 60 yards and this was the result No receipt as it was a gift, so Taylormade Canada isn't going to cover the 2 year warranty - so as of right now, I'll be looking for a new driver!! Got my eye on the Nike Covert after playing a round with MBP, but also looking at the Callaway X-Hot..... Miiiiiight consider sticking with Taylormade, but definitely going to shop around a little

Nice bag.

 

Be sure to wash your hands after playing with MBP.  I think my mother used to tell me that handling MBP's cause warts.

Nice bag, sucks about the driver though

If you're going to be playing any between now and when you get a chance to buy a new driver, I have a Machspeed Black square head or a VR Pro head that you're welcome to have. You'd have to buy a shaft with a str8 fit adapter but you're welcome to have either one of the heads to get you by until you can replace it (sorry don't have any shafts with the adapter nor any adapters I could put on a shaft here).

[BIG STU]

Have you talked to Taylor about warranty? I have never dealt with them but I have heard that they are pretty good to deal with on warranty. Never hurts to try

[BIG STU]

OOPs goofed again did not read the post thourghly. You said you did try with Taylormade in Canada. My mistake sorry

Yeah, oh well though! It happens, at least I have an excuse to shop around for some new equipment

Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it!! Don't think I'll be playing golf for a couple of months, now that the weather in Vancouver is starting to get really wet and cold. The golf bag is in semi-hibernation... time to break out the snowboards though!!

No worries! They are really good with warranty, they replaced my matching Burner Superfast 3 wood with the RBZ you see in the photos above, but since this was a gift and I have no receipt with it, they wouldn't go for the warranty even though it's within the 2 years - understandable though! Oh well!

why not just fix the TMag you have with a new shaft?

[snoopy]

why not just fix the TMag you have with a new shaft?

 

I thought about that and talked it over with some of the guys at my local Golf Town and with the price estimate they gave me, it didn't seem worth it to fix. Would be around the same price if I were to buy a newer driver (like a RBZ or something like that). 

 

I've never gone through any proper fittings before, so with a new driver, I'm thinking of doing that before deciding on anything.

[Kor.A.Door]

there are many guys here that have a lot of shafts in the garage, one of the might have one like the one that broke, and could probably help you out pretty reasonably, wouldn't hurt to ask here.
