Do they have deals on new driver? Something about trading in an old driver and discount new driver?
what kind of driver do you currently own? I play I ping i15 and still crush 280+ (longest was 320). XD

I am averaging around 260-280, when I hit it straight. I just traded in my old Taylor Made Burner Superfast 2.0 for a Rocketballz 1st model. I am already seeing an improvement. Once I get used to it and more consistent, I will start messing with the loft adjustments. I am going to try and get a round in this Saturday after work, you wanna join me? I will most likely be playing at Clear Creek Golf Course off of 288 and the Beltway. Shoot me a text....832-563-4510

Are there any sound places that you guys trust? The sound on my car went out (in terms of radio/audio) but the bluetooth and gps audio still work. It may just be a cable that is loose but honestly I'm a noob when it comes to that stuff. Any ideas on where I could take it to get it looked at?

I have a dice mediabridge usb/bluetooth system. I checked out the RL section. They told me to make sure all of the cables are plugged in firmly which... I'm not really sure how to do or where to even check. I checked out the fuses, but i don't know what I should be looking for. Like i said.. noob. lol. I'll probably spend some more time trying to get it figured out this weekend. I guess I'm just afraid to mess it up worse than it already is.

As far as handicap, I have never been given one, but I would say somewhere around 18-20, give or take.

That includes parts and labor sir I also have a service coupon from them so that's $50 more off. I'm gonna ask them to replace all the blown bulbs while they are at it.

Installing my new ball joints was a huge pain. It was really difficult to get the ball joint separator to work. After an hour or two of messing with it I just kept turning it and it smashed and ruined the oem ball joints.

The ball joint fork also ripped the boots on the oem ones.

I'm on one of the old burner driver. I would say my drive avg 240 straight, 280 into the water. can you get any deals on the new ping. I would like ot try it out. If I can get 280 straight, i think that would save me 10 strokes.

Alright noober of golf...I'm headed to the range tomorrow to work on a few things, if you'd like to join me let me know. I get off of work at 3 (usually ends up being 4) and will probably end up going to clear creek as they have bunker facilities as well... I'll help you fix your driving issues with some tissues and a little bit of lessons if you're interested.. (free of charge of course)
