Taylor Made Irons

[G_Man]

HAHA Shaggy , I'm your man. I've played since I was 12, Have been a member of a private golf club for over 10 years. Got my handicap down to 6 when I was eighteen, but went off to uni so played a lot less. I have played in county events, represented my club in national events. Plus played some of the best courses around including Royal Liverpool(hoylake) many times, the belfry, Old Course St Andrews.

Fancy playing oop North in my neck of the woods (no pun intended)?

Never seen the appeal of walking around a manicured field.

[Mumsafan]

get one's with pink grips for the poor fella

:whatever:

[JCase]

Competitively? Hmmm. To a point. I can’t compare with PTP at all. My golf CV was pretty good when I was 14, but I decided to give up the game to concentrate on drugs, booze and women. It was a wise choice too.

Just back into it though and ultimately I’m gonna be on the lookout for some new clubs given that I’m currently having to use the same rusty clubs I used in 1991.

Any suggestions fellas?

My son plays with Pings. He loves them! He's nearly due for a bigger set but am struggling cos he wants Pings again. He might have to have ladies which will no doubt piss him off.

Pings have the custom option and they are bloody expensive. Once you have them customized it wld be difficult to resell or trade-in.

Most major brands normally have test drive sessions. Let him try other brands for feel. Pings are good but there are other off the shelf brands that are just as good and wld cost quite a lot less.

The fact that one of my major clients is a golf pro means I don't pay full whack anyway And the lad is paying half himself so I can't really complain about cost.

[JCase]

Good character training for your lad, making him pay half

I allegedly received a 30% discount for my set. I don't believe it

You don't understand the appeal of golf, football, rugby, grasscourt tennis, cricket, hockey, or lacrosse? Sheesh

But aks him about third-rate pop acts and he'll go all goosebumbly

Woman i tells ya!

[Rich]

I'd have been shot if I been caught walking around the football or rugby pitch....

Couldn't give a **** about Cricket, hockey or even lacrosse...

[Mumsafan]

They are slightly more interesting than walking up hills and mountains though

[Rich]

Not for me they aren't!

[Taffy]

Got myself a new set of R7 XD irons over the weekend. Fantastic flight and distance and very forgivable

Never been a fan of Taylor Made, and Ping haven't appealed to me over the years either.

I play with Wilson Deep Red Fat Shafts - have done so for over 4 years now, and I've found them very forgiving and my iron play has improved since using them. I play off 10 these days but I don't get to play that often - I've joined the local club (Aberystwyth Golf Club) each year (apart from last year) but have only played one competition this year. I used to play every week when I first joined (about 15 years ago) for about 10 years solid but I've not played much regular golf these past few years. Marriage and a kid does that to you - I must start getting out of the house more and onto the golf course for a change.

I currently use a Nike driver (can't remember off hand which one), and although I struggled to hit a driver well about 10 years ago once you find the driver that suits you you can't go wrong - but it's a matter of finding clubs that suits your swing and game I suppose. I have a very shallow swing and don't get much height in my shots but it helps in dry weather as it runs all day!

Mizuno Mp60's best forged clubhead you can get, soft as butter.



i would highly recommend getting a new driver Shaggy.....the technology has changed dramatically in drivers recently. The new Titleist drivers are very very nice.

I have always liked the mizuno blades that they have done over the years - but if I was going to get a set of blades I'd go for



A superb set of irons, great look and feel - also the model no. 690 MB - (my initials are MB) When they first came out and not my many people had heard/seen them, I was going to get a set and blag to everyone that I'd had them custom made with my initials stamped in!!!
