I've been trying to teach my 16 yr old daughter to look back at the car as we walk away. She laughs at me, but now I have the evidence needed to convince her that I'm not a crazy, egotistical, fruitcake!

Callaway FT-i, great club....but as in all drivers today, it's what looks best to your eye and the shaft. Shaft= engine...... right engine, good numbers...wrong engine, POS no matter how good it looks
Hey, I'm the pro, it's my job to know these things.
Its all in the shaft...high kick point..low kick point....55 g 65 g 75 g ...senior flex...regular...stiff ...X stiff....

R7 Quad with Harrison Boron reinforced X-6200 Graphit...2.5 tq...X stiff...High kickpoint...swing inside out @ 114 mph on a seamed Pro V1 x= 290 on the fly

And really I know nothing bout' golf

Don't your read your own Corvette car manual. It warns about parking on dry leaves, etc. At least it warns about fires with my 2003 manual. Has everyone read it at least once?
