Hank Haney, PGA
@HankDHaney    RT @jakehare13: What's a good length of driver shaft for someone who is 6'0"? Whatever the manufacturer made the club don't mess w it

@HankDHaney    Manufacturers design clubs so that they perform the best as they are made, don't going cutting inches off your drivers u ruin the club

@HankDHaney    RT @LoveOnTheAir: @HankDHaney ...how does a driver for a 6 ft guy also work for a 5'8" guy? Because u hit off a tee, trust me

@HankDHaney    if u want more distance u need more speed practice swinging a lighter club to train for speed and a heavier one for strength and flexibility

@HankDHaney    RT @johnloconte: to use a tee or not use a tee for short par 3's? Always use a tee, there is a reason they only let u do it 18 times a round

@HankDHaney    RT @TALLJETSFAN: do u agree Tigers best driving days were with the steel-shafted Titleist Yes, it was 43" long, that is today's 3 wood

@HankDHaney    RT @snd714:What are your thought about artifical turf mats? I like them just pay attention to see if u are hitting behind the ball

@HankDHaney    RT @chadarsich: @HankDHaney my buddy just gave me a Bettinardi putter. Never heard if it. Any good? Very good

@HankDHaney    RT @Brett_875: who makes the best wedges and how many do I need? Every company has similar wedges

MARCH 24
Kim Kouwabunpat

@kimk04    Just got my 6 dozen Z-Star Pure White golf balls from @ClevelandGolf!! Thank You!! :)

Ian Poulter
@IanJamesPoulter    The greens got crusty out there this afternoon baked in the heat & wind & plenty of spike marks. why do people still use spikes #noneed

@IanJamesPoulter    There is only probably 10-15 guys that wear spikes still, you could probably guess most of them its not hard to work out.

Nike Golf
@nikegolf    Nike Athlete @TheMichelleWie sported the black Air Embellish today...what saddle color will it be tomorrow? //yfrog.com/h4408pij

Hank Haney, PGA
@HankDHaney    RT @samuelduff25: @HankDHaney hit a high fade with my driver but no other clubs? Why is that? Try a different driver, an adjustable one

@HankDHaney    RT @evrsoclr: I just got fitted for irons I'm 6'1 210, added a extra inch to my club length. Is that cool? Yes and 1 or 2 degrees upright

@HankDHaney   RT @ckirkhart: @HankDHaney which Nike irons do u play? Last years cavity backs

@HankDHaney   RT @tjs098: Any reason a mid-low hcp shouldn't play max game improvement clubs? It depends on your ball flight which clubs u should use

@HankDHaney    RT @Pselakov88: @HankDHaney y does Dustin Johnson use graphite shafts especially with his swing speed? No they r just darkened steel

@HankDHaney    RT @ianbutler83: What golf ball do you play? Nike Vapor Speed

@HankDHaney    RT @kimcifuentes:Why is it better to fade with driver? Drivers today don't spin much and a hook spins even less making it hardest to control

Bridgestone Golf
@bridgestonegolf    Windy day?? Try the new e7 with Dual Dimple design! Cheat the wind baby!!

@HankDHaney    RT You are a fan of hybrids, did Tiger ever give them a shot, why has he not yet carried one? They go too high for a powerful player
