Arnold Palmer fought a hook his entire career.
Fighting it, isn't necessarily playing it. He may hit a slice if he's not careful, and does a faulty move, that he has the natural tendency to do.

Good players fight hooks.
Bad players fight slices.

And no, I'm not saying any of you are bad players

When I got there two Simulators were being used by a bachelor party, one is down for repairs and the other one was open.

Said hello to the members sitting in the clubhouse and Ruedy (one of the guys who helps me) asked what was under the cover…hnded him the driver and he said: “DAY-UM! That is a perty head…(hands it to the guy next to him, and it gets passed around)…

While grab a beer, Ruedy takes the club to the simulator hits a few and comes back and said “That sucker is givein me huge numbers! Kevin you gotta try this”.

Kevin is our asst pro who JUST got his PGA certification and gets everything he wants free from Taylor-Made.

Kevin grabs it and goes to the Sim to hit it himself….he’s gone for 10 minutes or so….rushes back to where we were and said to me that he thought something was wrong because unlike his TM where he fights slices, he said this was doing nothing but straight…lower launch but greater carry.

He asks me if I’m in a hurry to go? I assured him I was in no hurry.

He grabs a bucket of balls, and goes outside to the range and starts hitting balls in the snow (about 34* F).

We’re looking out the window at him and people were coming in sitting down and seeing this idiot hitting drives in the snow.

Finally, Kevin comes back in….eyes as big as saucers….he walks over to where I was now eating our famous ½ Angus burger (cheap plug) and some one said: “Hey Kev, what were you hitting out there?”

Without missing a beat, Kevin said: “I think the future”.

He bought mine from me right there on the spot and I took orders for three more, within five minutes.

I am thinking the same thing. I really don't need anymore clubs but damn if I am not seriously considering at least giving this one a try.

My wife still doesnt know I picked up the Clevelands in the middle of summer nor the McGregors I just got from Rock. One of these days she is going to question me on just where the hell all these clubs came from

Doesn't mean I will stop getting more though

The Renegade has arrived!

Thanks to the letter, I am not in the doghouse with my wife, either.

I plan to get this bad dog out to the range on Thursday or Friday and will report back with my initial feelings when I return. I will also try an post up some pics if my digital camera can see the head beyond the glare of the limey. No digital picture I have seen captures the true brightness of the the limey shaft that you get when it is in your hands for the first time.

A big thanks to Rory and indacup golf for getting this into my hands so quickly after its arrival in Zach Johnsonland. Rory received the head late last week, a completed club showed up on my doorstep Monday morning down in Florida. Ultra fast delivery and a "get out of jail free" card makes me one satisfied customer.

Don't most top-level players fight a block more than a hook? Don't blocks result in shots that miss right?

So this is a Renegade 9 degree with a Graman Limey 540UL stiff? Hey, I want one of those! Seriously!

First call on yours Tim should you decide it'snot for you. Otherwise Rory, I'd take one just like that.

Liek Vt. said, give us the low down.

[ualtim]

Renegade 10* (measured to 10.5*) with a Graman 540 UL Stiff.

While I normally play a 9*, Rory recommended going to 10.5 as the head is reported to be even lower launching than the DCT. My DCT 9* runs a hair too low so we decided on the 10.5*.

Thursday should be the first test day assuming nothing changes on the schedule. I need to get back out to the range, anyway, to get my swing back in shape for the show next week for the demo testing. I might be able to sneak out to a course on Friday if all goes well.
