would certainly be my favourite club in the bag. i notice most tour pro's that use taylormade use the r11 driver but go with the rocketballz 3 wood. im wishing i went the same, cant speak more highly of the 3 wood but the rocketballz driver im still not entirely happy with.

Used a Taylor-Made Penta TP5 ball today.

Absolute tracer bullets off the tee and even tamed my violent fade off my shots. May have found my new ball of choice :)

I got a voucher from golf world so I went a bit up market at lunch and got a box of the Penta TP5's. From what I have read they are a very nice ball.

Anyone used/ing them?

i noticed they had been dropping slowly in price and they look like a nice club as well with good reviews, hopefully it leads to more dead straight drives!

well I shot back to back rounds last week of 35 and 37 points.


I appeared to get more back spin as I was landing them on the green and they were generally stopping very quickly.

Your Golf Bag

Postby Dissident » Tue Jun 18, 2013 11:37 am

Thought it would be interesting to find out what other weekend-hackers have in their bags?

Late last year I got a new Taylor Made bag (R11) with the RBZ irons and wood set.
I love 'Food and Stuff'. It's where I buy all of my food. And most of my stuff.
