rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I started getting my swing around to where I wanted it and have been an iron junkie over the last year, and saw these for cheap on Ebay. Needless to say, I went for it.

Once I broke them out for the first time I realized my swing wasn't quite...

Not ranked at the top, but close

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I got a Precept Tour Premium 310LS (9.5°) driver by winning an Ebay auction. It was really inexpensive considering it had been reshafted with a nice shaft and in good shape.

It has a ProForce 65 ATR Regular Flex shaft in it (not stock) and...

Take your game to the next level

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - First a little about me: I am a 5-handicapper who seems to be ironing out the finer points of my game to move to the next level. I have a pretty decent swing and have been working with a pro to get it really consistent and repeatable.

I am...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - First, a little background on me- I am a 5 handicapper who plays or practices as often as the weather will permit.

I found a set of these irons used at Golfsmith and decided to pick them up. I had read about them and figured since they were...

Overall Good Bag

Mon, 28 Oct 2002 19:48:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I bought this bag because:

1)I wanted a really wide shoulder strap configuration.

2) I was using Titleist irons/balls/driver at the time. Call me a lame wannabee-endorser!

3) I found it way way cheap on E-bay.

I saw this...

Remind me why I carry a driver...?

Mon, 28 Oct 2002 19:48:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I have been using only a driver and 3 wood combination for the longest time, saving some weight by leaving long irons out of my bag.

Now I have come to realize that, a great deal of the time, my driver is one of the other dead weights that can...

Does what it says... and that's all

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - First, a quick profile of who is writing this: I am an OK golfer with a handicap hovering at and around 5. I prefer to play golf balls with a moderate spin rate as I seem to do pretty well imparting spin with short irons.

I also like golf...

What a loser...he has a FAIRWAY wood...

Sun, 8 Sep 2002 11:24:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I struggle with long irons. I thought I'd give it a shot and get a 2 iron to try and dig the ball out and smack it a long way. No such luck so far, and I've worked hard on it.

So I decided to give a higher-lofted fairway wood a try. I could...

I've come full circle...

Sun, 8 Sep 2002 11:12:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I played Ben Hogan Apex PC blades as a teenager when my swing was grooving pretty well (and because I thought I needed to show off... "oh, he plays BLADES, he must be good!")

I really got a lot out of those blades and when I was striking the...

Simply the best you can get

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - It's kind of like buying a Mercedes-Benz. You pay through the nose for it, but it will be the best car you have ever owned.

That's kind of what the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1* are like.

A little about me - I am a low hanidcapper (4...

Finally... a putter that works!

Sun, 7 Jul 2002 11:14:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I have been on an endless search for the right putter for me. I know I absolutely STUNK at putting at one point and just could not get anything going on the greens. I even tried the "claw" grip, reversed hands, Sam Snead side-saddle style... ANYTHING...

Ugh... not for me

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - Note: this review is about the Tight Lies ST Driver since I couldn't find the ST Driver category...

I took a chance on the Adams Tight Lies ST Driver because they're way cheap these days.

I bought a Tight Lies ST 9 degree driver...

Swingin' and Pingin'

Mon, 17 Jun 2002 00:18:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I traveled recently to Arizona for the sole purpose of playing golf until my arms fell off.

While I was down there, I figured I would stop by the PING factory in Phoenix and see what they were all about. I have had a PING putter for many...

Nice course at nice price

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I went to Scottsdale with a mission... to play as much golf as I possibly could in 5 days time. And I stayed right across the lake from McCormick Ranch and figured I'd play both courses. I started off on the Palm Course and had a great time playing a...

I feel like a wet noodle

Sat, 8 Jun 2002 01:19:22 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - This ball seems to claim that it is both long and soft... like a noodle... but left me feeling like a wet noodle after I played it for a few holes.

I will say that off the tee, this ball can definitely compete. I gave the ball a good smack...

When you're on, you're on... if not, watch out!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - You had better get your swing completely figured out before touching these blades.

I already had a set of Cleveland clubs and was very happy with how those turned out. I thought I'd step up to the plate and get another set of blades like I...

Great all-around ball

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 01:04:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I was playing cheap Top-Flite balls and smacked them a mile, but when it came to the short game I was always having problems figuring out how much (or little) mustard I needed to put on the ball to put it where I wanted it.

I thought I might...

"tink!"

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 00:45:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I bought the Steelhead Plus 9 degree driver with hopes that a Callaway club would help me bring down my handicap even more. What I got was a decent club that I could hit a good distance, but was just surprisingly average.

It definitely is fun...

Holy Moly

Fri, 29 Mar 2002 00:43:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - This club is just amazing! The guy next to me and I got to chatting and he let me smack it on the driving range a few times.

I was hitting my Callaway Steelhead Plus 9 degree driver, steel shaft, stiff flex and pretty satisfied with the way I...

Competes with drivers $200 more!

Sat, 23 Mar 2002 22:23:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - I bought this club because I already had Cleveland irons and poor Golfsmith had this driver mismarked in the fairway woods bin.

I took it back to their cage, gave it a few smacks, and figured I must have it!

For the price, I haven't...

Best clubs for the money

Tue, 12 Mar 2002 02:08:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ar_colorado - So I was playing blade irons for the longest time until family life came along and golfing took to the back burner. And with the blades into the dusty garage went my handicap and my swing!

After years of hardly playing I needed to go out and...
