They are not the best golf club on the market, I don't think they are still in production. They are ideal for a beginner golfer or someone who plays only a couple of times a year.

In theory the driver will hit the ball farther, but it will be harder to control. Also the shaft will be slightly more flexible.

I heard you can microwave them, though this might be for "wound" golf balls which aren't that common anymore.

Land your drive on a cart path, hit a tree.... it will cost you strokes on the green.

OR you could just play it for 20 years and see if it can stand up to the beating.

No. In fact, they are actually being used on the PGA Tour by players such as K.J. Choi and Rory Sabbatini.

Although anyone who's seen the Callaway FT series (FT IQ) would probably agree they should be illegal, definitely the ugliest club out there.

Walter Hagen golf clubs are one of the house brands carried by Dick's Sporting Goods. They are actually made by Nicklaus Golf.

A two piece golf ball has only two parts. The core and the outer cover. These balls tend to be firmer and have a lower spin rate than a three or four piece golf ball.

Something labeled senior flex will probably be more flexible than regular. There is no real standardization among shaft makers, but typically they are ordered (from most to least flexible)

L - Ladies

A - Senior

R - Regular

S - Stiff

X - eXtra stiff

The rule of thumb is that slower swingers do better with more flexible shafts, because if timed right the flex can add some power and height to the shot.

The "A" designation between Ladies and Regular flex doesn't stand for anything in particular. They couldn't use "S" for the Senior flex because it was already being used as the designation for "Stiff" flex. The abbreviation for Senior, "Sr.", could also be confused with a "Regular/Stiff" flex. So in an attempt to avoid confusion (or possibly add a little), the letter "A" was decided upon as the designation for the Senior flex shaft.

Depending on manufacturer, it would range from 54-56 degrees. The most common would be either 54 or 56 degrees.

You can use nail polish remover to remove most permanent markers off a disc.

Compare the picture of the model you have with one from the internet, there are clear differences between real and fake ones. Also Ping putter have a serial number engraved on the face or hosel, check this with Ping, or if it doesn't have one it is fake.

Titleist was created in 1932.

There are extensions you can insert in the butt end of the shaft (after removing the grip) that can be trimmed to the desired length and re-install the grip. This must be done carefully, as some graphite shafts can crack easily.

It depends what clubs you are comfortable with, and what length of course you are playing on. If it is a long course, driver, 5 iron, wedge and putter. If it is a mid range course, 3 wood, 6 iron, wedge and putter. And if it is a short course, hybrid, 7 iron, wedge and putter.

While a modern set of club is limited to 14 clubs, there is no certain number of clubs in a hickory set. Frances Ouimet only carried 7 clubs when he won the U.S. Open. Players like Bobby Jones and Walter Hagen carried over 20 clubs in their bag. Most people who play hickory golf today, carry between 7 and 14 clubs in their bag. I would consider 7 clubs a minimum for a serious hickory golfer. These would include a Driver, fairway wood, putter, mid-iron, mashie, mashie-niblick, and niblick or some slight variation. I carry 10 clubs in my set....Driver, fairway wood, mid-iron, mashie, spade mashie, mashie niblick, 50 degree niblick, 56 degree niblick and a putter. Part of the fun of hickory golf is building a set that suits your style of play.

Yes, just make sure once you put it on you wet it with plenty of solvent, inside the grip and on the grip tape.

A 6 foot player would be able to play with standard length clubs with ease, however, it depends how you stand at the ball and how low/high you have your hands. You should get custom fit to make sure, you may need an inch or so longer.

You will see people selling Ping Putters and sometimes irons and identifying the entire zip code or the last three digits. The zip codes help to identify a time period that the club was manufactured/introduced. Below is a listing of the location, zip code, and time period that clubs were produced.

The Scottsdale AZ address with 85282 zip code was from 1961-1966.

The Phoenix AZ address with 85029 zip code from mid-1966 through 1967.

The Phoenix AZ address with 85020 zip code from 1968-1973.

The Phoenix AZ address with 85068 zip code from 1973 to 2000.

The Phoenix AZ address with 85029 zip code (again) from 2000 to present-day. (The 85029 zip code is the zip code for the physical street address of Ping Headquarters, which it has been at since mid-1966)

All the other zip codes were for P.O. Box addresses

If the tip diameters are the same then yes. You will need to take it to your local golf shop and they can tell you. If so they will be able to put the new head on the existing shaft very easily.

Yes, depending on what number they are.

I don't think that drivers of the same number are usually longer than each other, though.

There is a standard length but not all manufacturers follow the standard. So the same number of driver from two different makers may well be of different lengths. And it doesn't end there: Steel shafts are generally 0.5 inches shorther than graphite. Custom shafts can vary by up to 3 inches. Ladies and junior clubs are also different lengths.

Attack or Approach wedge. Usually 50-52 degrees.

Yes, you can. The bubble shaft is thicker below the grip, but has a normal diameter at the butt end.

The TaylorMade Burner cavity-back iron was introduced in 2009, according to the Innovation History timeline of the TaylorMade website.
