Kevin Hamluk, PGA
@HamlukPGA @BlakeGrahamPGA I like TM (driver and putter) but tend to lean elsewhere for wedges...TM good but I prefer others in wedges
Blake Graham, PGA
@BlakeGrahamPGA @HamlukPGA Kevin - how about when you can have all 14 clubs in your bag be from the best company there is? #TM2012 @TaylorMadeGolf
Kirk Oguri, PGA
@KIRKOGURI @BlakeGrahamPGA @HamlukPGAKevin u play their wedges? ewww. New ones are an improvement. Will be testing them when they come out
Blake Graham, PGA
@BlakeGrahamPGA @HamlukPGA I think the new wedges will change your opinion somewhat. What wedges are in your bag now?
Kevin Hamluk, PGA
@HamlukPGA @BlakeGrahamPGA I have a few that I rotate in and out depending on courses - Cleveland and Vokey
Kirk Oguri, PGA
@KIRKOGURI @BlakeGrahamPGA @HamlukPGAKevin and haven't played US TM irons in yrs. Don't like any of them to ever play em. And won't switch anytime soon
Blake Graham, PGA
@BlakeGrahamPGA @KIRKOGURI Kirk - believe it or not...I liked the XFT wedges. NEw ones are way better tho.
Kirk Oguri, PGA
@KIRKOGURI @BlakeGrahamPGA here's my thing: How can u come out with a wedge saying one grind fits all golfers? No way. I'll be grinding it big time
Blake Graham, PGA
@BlakeGrahamPGA @KIRKOGURI totally agree with that. My wedges will look nothing like the retail version.....
Kirk Oguri, PGA
@KIRKOGURI @HamlukPGA @BlakeGrahamPGA Fourteen Golf make the best conforming wedges available in the US
Kevin Hamluk, PGA
@HamlukPGA @KIRKOGURI really good wedges...and really expensive too! But a great, heavy wedge!
Blake Graham, PGA
@BlakeGrahamPGA @KIRKOGURI what irons are you playing? You didn't like the MB or MC iron?
Kirk Oguri, PGA
@KIRKOGURI @BlakeGrahamPGA their sales were so poor in Jpn. That says a lot which means it didn't come close to other irons there.
@KIRKOGURI @BlakeGrahamPGA I still play Jpn Burner forged. And so do many players out here. We've gotten a bunch of them for staff players
@KIRKOGURI @BlakeGrahamPGA u will NOT get me playing an iron that has "MC" on it!!
@KIRKOGURI @HamlukPGA they are expensive, because they are milled so well and faces are perfectly flat. Grooves milled also. Great quality
Blake Graham, PGA
@BlakeGrahamPGA @KIRKOGURI gotcha....I played the MB most of they year and the switched to a set of MC's with no offset in September. I actually like them.
Kirk Oguri, PGA
@KIRKOGURI @BlakeGrahamPGA not sayin they won't perform well. Just no chance to get my irons out of the bag. Has to be better
Dan Sposato, PGA
@DSpogolf @KIRKOGURI you see the new 588 from Cleveland yet?
Kirk Oguri, PGA
@KIRKOGURI @DSpogolf new 588? That's like saying if I've seen the new Taylormade bubble shafts ;)
@KIRKOGURI @DSpogolf Same wedge just conforming grooves. But it's still a Cleveland wedge
