MmmmmmBuddy Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 The whirl comes when you throw it like a helicopter? Yep. Fly it parallel to the ground. Less chance of breakage, speaking from experience.

JohnBarry Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I stopped whirling them after I bought my first set that was more than 100.00, but I sure want to sometimes! Quote John Barry Bring the Funk, Back to Golf The Golfer's Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI: The box was part of a Press package so if you go to retail to buy the wedge you will only get the wedge. Hope you all didn't think it was part of the retail package.

JohnBarry Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 What if the clubs are shipped to you? Quote John Barry Bring the Funk, Back to Golf The Golfer's Trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bortwein Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 What if the clubs are shipped to you? Standard Brown Shipping Box. The box shown was only for a Press Package to announce the Launch and supply the press with additional information and media about the products. However, the VIP and M85i Irons do currently come in a nice White MacGregor Box. Quote Golfsmith - Proprietary Graphic Designer What's in my Bag?

NRJyzr Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Just a tad misleading..... Not really. Not any different than Cobra being acquired by Fortune Brands.
