I have a mate who is playing with the JPX825s, he says they are fantastic clubs. When I bought my new driver last year, you got a free hybrid with it, they didn't have a 3 hybrid left in the store, so I just took the 4 hybrid not thinking I would use it.....I haven't hit a 4 iron since, the hybrids have improved my game hugely.

Just picked up my new irons this morning. Was looking at the new X Hot range, maybe the TM Speedblades, that soon went out the window the minute I tried the Cobra Baffler XL, unbelievably easy to hit, great distance and most importantly for me, more consistent with my hits. If you are looking for new irons, I would recommend you trying these. Won't break the bank either, 5,6,7,8,9,PW,GW and SW, was supposed to be £440 but the place I had the custom fit, they deduct the £40 cost from the new clubs, so £400.

Celtic and Chelsea for me today. Had a £50 double on Celtic -1/Chelsea -1. Leyton Orient failing to score done me out of £150 on a goal rush coupon. Not a good day.

Just to change the subject slightly, what area is Windsor Park in? I will be visiting Belfast in the summer for the first time, fancy nipping along to the stadium for a look. Like some of the others on here I am also a bit of a geek when it comes to stadiums.

He'll know more about it than I do, just I seem to remember reading somewhere about how people complained about the lack of sunlight they would get.

I actually think it was down to locals complaining their houses wouldn't get enough sunlight if a second tier was added to the North Stand. This is to be a joint stadium for York City and the local rugby team.

Getting fitted for a full new set on Monday, had a somewhat fortunate night in a casino so have decided to treat myself to a brand new full set, have my eyes on the new X2 Hot range, but there's a number of irons and woods I will try out. I was already looking forward to the new season, this has just added a little bit more!

I've only tried the Rocketbladez on the range a few times, but was very impressed distance wise and for forgiveness, pal of mine plays with them, he swears by them, clubhousegolf have them for about £300 for a 4-pw. When I started getting back into golf I was using my old mans 20 year old driver, steel shaft, steel head that was tiny compared to the modern day head sizes, had absolutely no confidence with my driver, put any power behind I'd balls up the drive, slow the swing down and I couldn't lift the ball as the loft was far too low, tried all sorts of different hand me down drivers before deciding to buy myself the Callaway X-Hot.....was just what I was needing, brought my confidence levels right up, was hitting it really well. Unfortunately I have to get rid of it, as my confidence has went up, so has my swing speed, it's a 11.5 loft driver, ballooning the ball in the air anytime I connect now.

As long as they only measure distance then they are legal. Some of the fancier gadgets out there will tell you wind speed, direction, temperature, even the lie, those are illegal.

Cheers mate. Think the one I was looking at was about £109, like you say it's not a fortune you're spending on it. Certainly I could be doing with the help with regards to that, I've really improved my driving, when connecting I am hitting it really well but a fair number of times, it's my second shot that can let me down, a lot of that can be down to the wrong club selection.

Was thinking of picking up one of those GPS style watches, but wasn't really sure if it would be worth it though. Going on the 5 strokes, would I be right to assume you'd recommend it then?

Has anyone tried the new Taylormade SLDR driver yet?

Just hit an 89 last night, first time I've gotten into the 80's, don't have a handicap or owt just play for fun with some pals and last night was most pleasing! My new Callaway driver is certainly making a difference!

Orangefest.........The great family day out!
