    I use a Callaway driver, hit it straight and I get to about 300 yards. I've only just started playing again after years away and found I have a tendency to slice right...like many other amateurs. I've adjusted the angle at which the club head lines up against the ball...more square on...and I don't slice as much. I bought a second hand set of Ping irons 4 to SW. They do make a difference from your cheap clubs. Might hit 50 balls at the range later.

    This new one is adjustable so I have to see what's best.

    The only way my Callaway is adjustable is if I aim more to the left...and due to the slice it ends up on the fairway :laugh:

    I bought one of these bad boys not too long ago, which is ridiculous considering my lack of action. I've spent a ****ing fortune of late on this and fishing gear. If the missus knew I think she'd suggest I'm somewhat selfish. I tell you what, this fecker adds quite a few yards on to your driving. My Taylormade Burner was about 15 year old though, so I dare say technology has moved on a bit!

    Aye pretty straight. I'm not fully adapted to it. I loved the burner hence the long time between change. It was a draw burner. I found I hit incredibly straight with a nice hint of draw. This thing can be set up how you like (haven't got that far yet). I left it as is and found I was hitting straight but when I went after it I was getting a slight fade/slice. I hit pretty long though so even a slight fade can be a ball ache on narrow courses. I'll probably tinker with it a little just to put a slight draw emphasis on it. You can adjust everything - the loft degree etc. Like Mick says you need a degree in engineering!

    Does it come with instructions? <whistle> Has anyone ever seen how far they can hit with a putter? I was reminded recently that I hit it over 100 yards off the tee with one once. Can't remember though! Ps that was with a run up <laugh>

    Bunch of fannies with all your fancy gear. I could get it round in under par with a rolled up sock and a walking stick.

    Fancy gear? My golf shoes have holes in them and the wheel has fallen off my electric cart!

    I think perhaps you're doing it wrong. Seek assistance would be my advice. There is a lovely thai massage place in town that can assist with this as an extra.

    Allegedly.
