Shiny New Bats Unwrapped and Ready to Go
      23/07/2008 22:59

As some might recall went to a demo day at my local AG (Callaway, TM, Wilson, and Yonex) with the intention of trying graphite to see if it would help my ailing game. After trying the TM clubs (Burner and Burner XD) in stiff and regular I went to Callaway. The guy watched me hitting my R7's and listened to what I said and after testing my speed got to work.

Measured me (I'm one degree upright) and tested the swing speed and gave me the X20 in stiff graphite. Hit it pretty solidly and certainly on a par with the regular steel R7's. However with a regular graphite and 1 degree upright I hit it higher and longer and more consistantly. Did the deal (HID was there and gave me the nod of approval).

They arrived today and I've picked them up and they are sitting all shiny and new ready for tomorrow afternoon when I'm going to try them on the practice ground before taking them out to play on the course.

Also managed to find a 52 and 56 chrome finished X wedge at my local range for £60 each as part of the Open promotion they were running (it seemed rude not too as HID offered to pay). All the new bats will get a thorough testing tomorrow. Like a kid at Christmas and can't wait
