Yea, no doubt. Its crazy how good those guys are. All bullshite aside though, you are right about the equipment. Greg Norman said the same thing. He hits it longer now than when he was in his 30's. Unbelieveable.

Yes. The ball technology has always been there to make it go far. But now that same technology can be put into a ball that is soft around the greens. The club technology now helps the ball go straight. It is pretty amazing to see how far it has come in the last 15 years.

Aren't they not allowed to sell them as of 1/1??

I haven't looked since then, but I thought thats when the Callaway suit took effect.

Don't worry, looks like the new balls are doing just fine, 2 for 2 to start out the year.

You could always stock up on them. They're still on the shelves. I think gppgolf.com has them for $35/dozen and flat rate shipping of $4. Recently bought some 06 Nike One Blacks for $20/dozen.

I can't make a 6' putt, though.

I'm the same way. I wonder why they don't change the size of the hole by one inch. The only reason I've heard is tradition but that's out the window when you look at the equipment changes.

They tried this many many years ago and it basically made no difference at all. I find that hard to believe but that was the result.

What's in the bag... (Bag Boy Revolver)

Driver: Nickent 3DX Tour Square 9* (UST ProForce V2 regular)
3 Wood: Adams Insight BUL 15*
Hybrids: Adams a2 OS 19* and 23*
5I-PW: Callaway X20 Tours (Rifle Project X Flighted 6.0)
Wedges: Cleveland CG12 Black Pearl 50.11 & CG12 Black Pearl 54.12 Callaway X-Forged 58.10 C Grind
Putter: Odyssey white hot xg #5

So, I just sent the head of my 3 wood down the fairway yesterday. didn't really like it, so i probably won't reshaft it, need to get something else.

I also don't like my hybrids all that much. Considering putting my x20 tour 3 and 4 iron back in the bag.

Anyone have any 3 wood/hybrid recommendations. I haven't found anything I've liked yet.
