Not much difference at all between the 4950 and the 5000, as the number shows. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Good idea. Golf
So while we're at it. I've been playing with my dad's old clubs. Jack Nicklaus clubs from his like first pro win, no lie. Old as balls. Wood heads.

Looking to keep the irons for now and pick up a Callaway Big Bertha 420. Worth a ****? Friend of mine just picked up a decent Taylor Made I'm fond of.

Sub 200, ebay or in a shop, what to buy.

Most popular driver we got for ~$200 is the taylormade burner. Very forgiving and made for more distance.

$150 range look for clevland hibore XL's, callaway X460's.

-Callaway FT-i 9.5* with the speeder 686 s-flex

-Taylormade supersteel 3 wood which is going to be gone shortly

-New hyrbrid(s) is in the works, probably the ping G10 15* and 18* (or maybe the hibore xls's, not sure yet)

-Taylormade R7 irons 3-pw

-Taylormade TP satin wedges 54* and 58* (thinking about going to the z smokes)

-Ping putter that's going to be replaced soon by a guerin rife two bar or possibly a cameron red x

I've been redoing my entire bag this year. Driver, irons, and wedges are things I picked up this year. The rest is in the works. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Well, if you're looking to give me one your price at the shop, I might spend about 250 and get one worth a ****

There's a guy with X1's I think it is, it's a model up from the plain old X outs, Callaway clubs, full irons with leather Callaway bag and putter for 250

Was thinking about picking it up... Then I'd just need a driver and some hybrids

for the driver question, also check out the King Cobra Speed LD

very forgiving drivers IMO, as well as the 2 TommyK suggested

thought I would throw my .02 in there

what do you think of the Never Compromise putters?

btw very nice bag of clubs you have. I would really like to give the r7 irons a go, but cant bring myself to get rid of my Titliest DCI(had them for 5 yrs now, and have grown attached)

2 years...nah. Now 1 year....maybe. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

While I would like to hook you up with a driver for my price, my work tends to look down on that sort of thing. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

But honestly, unless you are fairly skilled you're not going to notice much difference between a $200 driver and a $400 one. The burner is the one I always put in the hands of people looking for best bang for the buck.

Yup, the NEW speed LD's are on sale for $199 now also.

We used to carry never compromise. Supposed to be very stable and have a soft feel because of the gray matter center. Never really used one though.

I love my R7's. I had some mizuno t-zoid pro's before and I just didn't have a consistent enough swing to really use them well. Went to the R7's and started playing MUCH better. Overall just a much more forgiving and great feeling set of irons.

Just wondering on the Never Compromise putter(NC GM2 Exchange 1), bc I have just recently gotten one and played about 6 rounds with it. It is the best putter I have ever had(b4 I had the Ping Anser 2), so getting use to the soft feel is just now starting to come around. But do love the balance and feel of it.

and as far as irons go I just feel this is the one thing, as well as the putter, that doesnt need upgrading as much. If it works and you are comfortable with it then no need to change..... Now the drivers/woods/hybrids/wedges are a whole diff story IMO

Yeah, my previous irons just weren't working for me so that was the first thing I changed when I had the chance.

I don't plan on changing any of the new stuff I've gotten any time soon though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Only thing I might do is trade the TP satin wedges for the new z smoke wedges because they are ***. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/drool.gif.b5e863e893038027711d4402f340dad0.gif
