    No. After a poor performance the weekend before last it lost it's place in the bag to the Mighty Nickent 4DX which I was crushing in the South Island this past weekend.

    I don't ever recall hearing so many great reviews for such an ugly driver. I think part of the reason you guys like it is because of the $49 price tag. That's why price should never be a component of a review. I've never understood why some review forums have a value rating. It either works or it doesn't.

    I can't wait to try out my Taylormade Ghost center shafter putter although I don't quite understand the purpose of the golf ball-sized hole in the rear of the mallet. I've tried picking up a ball with it and it's impossible. Maybe it's phallic? santa

    Oh, my name is FD (short for FamousDavis) and I'm the best ball striker I know. I love to talk about golf equipment and I've probably bought and sold over 500 sets of irons over the last 20 years. I know a great deal about golf equipment in terms of how different irons and drivers play on the course.

    Feel free to argue and flame on this forum but don't curse. It's against the parent company's rules.

    My latest set of Ping i3+ Blade irons arrived yesterday. They look brand new. Z-Z65 shafts baby.

    Cheers. afro

    Thanks for the welcome to your newly created forum.
    I really didn't read any of the review section much anymore, so no big loss. I enjoyed the commeraderri more in the forum.
    I'm going to have to cut this short as I have to take my child to school.

    Playing an LD driver in a regular round is pretty damn impressive. Have you ever swung a driver with the Nunchuk shaft by Inventix/UST? I think Jonatton Vegas still uses one on the PGA tour.

    congrats. Much as I love my Adams paddles, I still miss my Zing 2s with the ZZ65... shot some of my best rounds with those, including a 75 and a dozen 76's... There was a time when Big Dave could have been among the top twenty ball strikers amongst the GR veteran crowd, and in that time, there was Ping. I always wanted to try the i3+ but I was afraid the heads would throw shadows over the rest of the range and pi$$ off the other customers. Very Happy

    Tony, I saw that a "TonyJ50" has registered over at the other place. What's this world coming to? I, for one, now take the pledge not to rag on the LPGA players. As for the "Bed news", that will be the most interesting if you can get any.

    Welcome aboard Tony. I was afraid that I'd miss one of your LPGA updates.

    I'm continuing to tinker with this website and will create a review folder as well, per Mongrel's request. Some of you may have noticed a change in the "skin" or colors of the site. I thought green would be better than dark gray. I'm learning as I go. This site is definitely easier to post photos and video.

    The tonyj50 was me. When I couldn't get on as tonyj5 anymore I registered under another e-mail and name. That didn't work either as I couldn't log in that way either.
