This is only my second year of playing… I had a crappy set of hand me downs for my first year and decided to treat myself. Is anyone else looking forward to golfing this season. ![http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/johnnylude/JOhnnys%20Randoms/DSCN5255.jpg](http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e204/johnnylude/JOhnnys%20Randoms/DSCN5255.jpg) ---

Yeah its suppose to be high 70’s today and 80 tomorrow down here. My buddy is flying in from Buffalo and we are going to play 36 as soon as pick him up from the airport. What’s even crazier is I have a friend who works for Adidas (owns TaylorMade) and I got these clubs for an insane price (below cost) ---

> [@Zong](#): > > waiting for geoff to chime in lol. :tup: good pickup, especially if you got a good deal. I’ve never been a fan of taylor made irons, but if it’s your 2nd year and you’ve got the cash to burn, not a bad pick. Oversized, with a deep cavity like that = forgiveness. Did you have a chance to hit them before? I like to go hit irons at a shop (where they let you take them to the range) before I buy them to see if the lie angle is correct, tip stiffness in the shaft is good to match my trajectory needs, etc. I just picked up a set of bridgestone j33 blades at the end of last season and absolutely love the feel of shaping shots with blades as opposed to cavity-backs. :tup: ---

I keep flip flopping between blades and cavitybacks. The R7’s aren’t bad for a cavity back setup. I didn’t mind them. Had a bit nicer contact feel than the S300’s I had been using ( and still have ). ---
