That comes with the qualifying statement that you are just a beginner, and you haven't made up your mind whether or not you enjoy this silly game of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~475433111172 Sat, 27 Jun 2009 15:46:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_475433111172?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_472448601732?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Even though it sounds like some sort of badass Carburetor you'd expect to find on an old Pontiac GTO--the r7 Superquad may not be a carburetor, but she's still one mean ol' Badass! I liked the original r7 concept, but I was never 100% won over by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472448601732 Mon, 1 Jun 2009 15:57:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472448601732?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_472435756676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - When Callaway Golf bought Top Flite, along with The Ben Hogan  Golf Company and Strata Golf Ball Divisions, it looked like a brilliant acquisition. In many ways that has definitely proven to be the case. The Ben Hogan Division has increased the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~472435756676 Mon, 1 Jun 2009 13:28:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_472435756676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471733341828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - The Voodoo Dadddy was quite possibly one of Never Compromise' best putters. I remember when they retailed full bore in the $150+ range, and were considered a good buy back then. Never Compromise is another one of those high dollar putter companies... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471733341828 Tue, 26 May 2009 13:05:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471733341828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471727312516?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - In the midst of a quest to get back to sub 30 putting rounds I've been trying lots, and lots of flat-sticks. I' ve doubled down on my putting practice as well, which has me using both my old "Never Compromise Stubby" for sweet spot orientation, and my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471727312516 Tue, 26 May 2009 12:06:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471727312516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471319547524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - I dissed the original version of this club when it came out (The R7 Cgb), because I felt it to be a poor substitute for the R7 XD's of which I am a proud and happy owner. Somewhere along the way TaylorMade has vastly improved this club. It still sports... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471319547524 Fri, 22 May 2009 15:47:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471319547524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471306243716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Okay , please don't get me wrong here, but really, Cleveland's Composite clubs were basically duds. Thus the resurrection of the Titanium and All Titanium heads in the very next generation of Cleveland's Line of drivers and fairway woods.

(Please refer to my blog for further details.)  Basically, if you hit balls along the lakeshore,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471204662916 Thu, 21 May 2009 15:27:58 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471204662916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471189196420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Okay, I'm beginning to sound very very biased here, but there's a reason for that. Cobra metals have worked so well for me this season that I am beginning to show, in all honesty, a little bit of favoritism to them. I currently pack a driver, 3... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471189196420 Thu, 21 May 2009 13:10:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471189196420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471091744388?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - I really, Really, REALLY wanted to like this putter. Especially since it goes for several hundred dollars MSRP, and I found a bushel basket full of old demos/floor samples going for $40. It had everything that meets the requirements of Berniez Bargain... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471091744388 Wed, 20 May 2009 15:37:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471091744388?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471081258628?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - When playing double duty (bowed and fingered) on The Dog House (Upright Bass) it's hard to find a string that does both types of playing justice. Those that do well for the fingering technique often prove too trebly and raspy when playing Arco... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471081258628 Wed, 20 May 2009 13:46:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471081258628?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_471067496068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Recently my putting has been dogging me big time. It was starting to look like the yips were attempting to creep back into my golf life and make it absolutely miserable (as if I need any help). Fortunately, I have conquered that dreaded disease before,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~471067496068 Wed, 20 May 2009 11:45:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_471067496068?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470988459652?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - It's not often I run across an electric bass that piques my interest anymore. I have 2 custom built basses that sport 5 strings apiece, and can make any bass sound known to mankind, and some that haven't yet been discovered. But long before arriving at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470988459652 Tue, 19 May 2009 16:29:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470988459652?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470851620484?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - I don't want to be too brutal to this club, but it just didn't work for me. In all honesty I tried it more than once. I tried it several times because I thought that it was sort of "The Launcher" version of hybrids. If it were, it would have had... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~470851620484 Mon, 18 May 2009 14:16:41 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_470851620484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_470844083844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author berniez40 - Why not?--We've got gecko's selling insurance, and people who frequent bars are referred to as lounge lizards.

I mean, when I first picked one of these up--before everybody jumped on to the bandwagon and started building heavier putters--I was immediately taken aback. My lower back was none to thrilled with the concept either.

Having gone through enough swing changes to create my own algorhythm, I can pretty much lay claim to having hit just about every fairway wood ever made.
