Scotty Cameron Detour Newport 2 Putter

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 17:07:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - $500.00 PutterWow!--That's a lot of jack for just about any putter--even if it does sport The World Famous "Scotty Cameron" Imprimature. A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have even bothered writing this review. I've often looked at a lot...

Mizuno MX 300 Irons

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 19:47:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - SO A JEDI GOLFER YOU WISH TO BE?If you are a midcapper who craves feel, has distance, and is just not quite ready for blades yet--Mizuno has the answer for you. This is the set of irons I was aspiring towards before my heart attack. If I...

Mizuno MX 1000 Irons

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:59:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - 1000 TIMES BETTERThis is Mizuno's very best entrance into the "Super-Game Improvement " category. If you need long and straight, don't mind a slightly chunky looking iron, and like something that conducts the feel of a good shot so that...

Nice Rock!

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 14:50:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - I really didn't care much for the old Callaway Warbird. It was like playing an overpriced Top Flite XL. Unlike the newer Top Flites, this thing still sported Old Fashioned Dimples, a solid Ionomer Cover that had a bit too much Surlyn in the mix,...

This Sleeping Bag Is Kinda Doggie

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 08:38:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Hi. My name is Taylor, I'm a Beagle, Chihuahua, Terrier mix, and my Pawpa, Berniez40, is off looking at golf clubs again. This gives me a chance to sneak back onto his computer, and tell all you folks about this really cool sleeping bag. Now I know I...

Mizuno MP T-10 Wedges

PantywaistsJust in case you're not familiar with the saga of The Ping Eye 2 Irons, here's a quick history. Basically, in the early 80's Ping...

Mizuno MP 58

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 00:22:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Best New BladeI'll be the first to admit, that when it comes to playing blades, I'm not the most exacting player. I currently play to an 11 handicap, and am usually, as of late, more of a 15. Still, I kid myself from time to time that I am...

Srixon Z Star-X

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:49:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - This ball is really quite good when my shoulder turn isn't feeling the slings and arrows of Arthritis, Bursitis, and all the other "Itises" that come with middle age. Though the company doesn't recommend this ball for swing speeds of less than 105MPH, I...

Srixon Z-Star of Zee Show

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 17:29:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - It's been a long time since I did a golf ball review, and considering the luck I had with this ball on the last outing, I figured I'd write a quick one about a ball that deserves a lot more buzz than it's currently getting. For those medium speed...

Big Snakes

Thu, 8 Oct 2009 15:10:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - I really like a lot of what Cobra has been doing lately in the iron department. They seem to have, save for the fabulous AP1 and AP2 Models, taken the technological lead from their corporate sibling Titleist. For the most part Titleist remains...

E6+-- Better Than The Original But Not By Much

Mon, 5 Oct 2009 23:07:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - I guess I should have expected a bit of a disappointment on this one. The original was so innovative. I had no problem declaring it the best intermediately priced 3 piece Bargain Ball at the time. It has since been outclassed by a lot of it's current...

E5+---Nice Update

Mon, 5 Oct 2009 16:14:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Once upon a time, a company named Bridgestone built a heck of a lot of good golf balls under a couple of different names--"Precept" and "Tour Stage." "Precept" balls were quite good for the money, and they even had a 2-piece ball "Precept...

Good Hybrid for Mid - High Handicappers

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:52:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - After a total reworking of my bag thanks to the heart attack, the vast majority of hybrids (I used to carry 3/4 of them) have been dumped, and turned back in for fairway woods in order to help regain the distance I have since lost. Ironic,...

I Love Heart Guard

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 17:58:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Hi. My name is Taylor, and I'm a Jack Russell, Beagle Chihuahua mix. My Pawpa is out looking at Golf Clubs and other stuff to review, so I figured I'd sneak in on his computer and tell you guys about Heartguard. It is really really good tastin'...

Grand Oaks Golf Club

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 17:41:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - The old "Grand Prairie Country Club" was a course that always showed promise, but never came close to its true potential. When I first played it, roughly 7 years ago, the course had not only begun going to seed, it appeared to be in a real live death...

Ping G 15 Fairway Woods

Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:44:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - In an effort to bring about the best of both worlds--the feel of the G-10 Model w/the distance and forgiveness of the Rapture V2 Line, Ping has introduced both the i-15 and the G-15. I was fortunate enough to demo the G-15's the other weekend, and...

Ping G-15 Irons

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 00:58:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - I thought the Ping G-10's were balanced and fun , and I found the Rapture V2's to be long and sweet, but these G-15's are definitely the epitome of the "G" Series lineage. They sport an even more, customized by iron number, tuning port, and a thinner...

Ping G 15 Driver

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 01:32:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - This has got to be Ping's most "solid" entry into the driver market in some time. I don't use the word solid lightly either. Everything about this driver seems to fit that word. The technology is solid. The distance is solid. The feel at...

The Fool Proof Golf Swing

Sun, 9 Aug 2009 17:07:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - After my recent heart attack, I shed darned near 20 lbs. in roughly 3 weeks. For a slightly overweight guy--6' Foot 220 lbs.--9% of your body weight in such a short period of time is big. For a golfer, who has worked hard to perfect his swing plane--it...

Wounded Warrior

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 22:53:24 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Exteme may be the correct moniker when referring to the price of this P.O.S.---but it bares little resemblance to reality when referencing the distance gains, and sports car workability that the makers would like for you to believe this club...

Obsolescent But Still Viable

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 00:23:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - If you've watched any Nationwide Tour Golf Tournaments over the past two years, you've probably heard the slogan and seen the ads---"Nickent--King of Hybrids." Long before Nickent became a player in the "Big Boys" golf club arena, they were a component...

Golf A la Cart

Mon, 3 Aug 2009 19:56:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - After my recent heart attack, toting a hefty bag around on my shoulders, 27 holes at a time, while swinging fearlessly at the pin, has called for a bit of modification on my part. Not only have I had to overhaul the very contents of my bag, in...

Callaway's Best Driver Yet!

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 00:24:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Callaway drivers rarely impress me. I liked the Hyper X and the FT-IQ as well as the FT-5. That may sound like a lot, until you take into account the number of drivers Callaway has pumped out over the years. I have yet to hit any recent version of...

One Stroke Over The Line Sweet Jesus

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:05:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - This is definitely another upgrade in the Nike ball department. With all the premium ball makers running to the 4-piece format, it's getting harder to find a premium 3-piece that spins decently and provides the distance and accuracy one expects from a...

Nike CCI---Clean, Crisp, Impressive

Tue, 7 Jul 2009 14:27:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Time and again I am offered opportunities to play Nike Equipment, and the mixed feelings I have towards their equipment never ceases to amaze me. I never found a Nike Driver I was comfortable putting in the bag, though The Sasquatch/Sumo line of...
