my 3 wood is the new taylormade r7.i do not beleive in puring.as far as the clubs tour players use they are not any different than what you can buy.the only difference is our wedges and putters.my shafts where by trial and error from over the years.i know what it should feel like.the advancements in materials used is about the same from company to company.i have used the gat 75 from grafite design for 4 years now.golf is just like fishing,there are so many things available to choose from. the only reason new equipment is brought out is to increase sales.CRAIG BARLOW who is my neighbor and playing well in l.a. still uses a taylormade driver that came out in 01.remember we get paid very well to play our clubs.new is not always better,ex. calloway went from the penthouse to the outhouse trying to improve on something that was the best back in the late 90s

I guess that it's only a small percentage of the topplayers that get to play prototype irons and drivers, and it's a even smaller percentage that'll have special irons and shafts made to their preferences (ie. Tiger).

i use to grind my own stuff,but there is no need to anymore.i play mizzuno mp33 and they all look the same.plus if they get stolen or lost by the airlines they are harder to replace.that is why i don't mess with it anymore.like i said the wedges and putters are what 97%of the players have made special.tiger plays stock clubs as well.his wedges are just stock,hate to bust your bubble on that one
