I dont like Nike and thier globalisation tactics of signing up anyone and rail roading other companies

Coca cola do the same

yep they make decent gear

grab a set of mizunos and then grab a set of nike irons from a golf shop

tell me which set has quality written all over it and tell me which brand is just slapping swooosh all over it

read the history of nike book (swoosh)

I have hit every driver they have released (my mate owns a pro shop) even he hates their gear but people want it! because the swoosh factor

Nike like many of its athletes have a very few morals - they have money!!

As a lover and player of Mizuno irons, it's statements like this that are embarrassing. If you're going to bring up globalization, and rail-roading other companies, then you are talking about Taylormade. The same Taylormade that signs every golfer they can, releases equipment like the world is going to end if they don't, pays golfers to tee it up, we all know what a marketing machine Taylormade is. Who cares? Lots of people like Taylormade equipment because it performs well, or is trendy. Lots of people like Nike equipment because it performs well, and is trendy. Same with Cobra, Titleist, Mizuno, and many other OEM's. Nike signed some golfers in the offseason, all of which are doing just fine this season besides Rory with his one tourney played after a long, and as many suspect, practice neglected break, which really doesn't say much other than Rory didn't spend enough time practicing or adjusting. Case in point, he putted just as bad the 2nd day with his Scotty. Point is, everyone makes good equipment nowadays. There are scratch golfers everywhere using all different kinds of equipment. I myself play Mizuno MP 58's and love them, but I've hit the new Nike stuff and was very impressed, especially with the irons. Play what you want and what works for you, and let others do the same, instead of ranting on and on about Nike and how much you don't like them.

I admire totally what tiger has done for the game of golf but sorry I just destest his smugness and cockiness

he has zero emotional intelligence - has to have done what he did a few years back and the way he talks - like I'm the only decent golfer on the planet - I have watched his press conferences and I see smug arrogant SOB!!

then when he doesn't win its a bunch of excuses and when he wins he says yep thats what I was supposed to do...?

GOAT....nah Jack still No 1 for me but Jack did it with class and humility, Tiger does it with "my s*** doesn't stink attitude that frankly I cant stand"

maybe I value family the same as I do major championships - major champ yep but hes also a major chump and thats something I look at when evaluating peoples achievements

I'm a bit old school, respect the game (yep he does that mostly except tossing clubs after a bad drive)

respect your opponents - opponents = sorry this guy doesnt even realise anyone else is playing

respect when you lose - nah he jumps in car and doesnt even do a press conference

respect  your family

this is what I value someone on

watch some tom watson press conferences and you'll know what I mean

What happened to Canadian golfer Dennis Watson after Tom Watson stole his wife? She didn't even have to change her last name when she married Tom. The point is no one is perfect. In my opinion, stealing another man's wife is much worse than 15 hookers.
[/quote]

Here is a news flash for you.  Dennis Watson is NOT Canadian, he is from Zimbabwe.  Anyway your assumption about his nationality is only rivaled in accuracy by the other BS you have been spouting.
[/quote]

My mistake Denis Watson WON the Canadian Open. But I would bet you don't know Tom Watson or Tiger Woods, do you?

[rgk5]

My error as I thought I was quoting back to ol' Dave70.

Quite true.  Why would I and what do they have to do with the other Watson?

So Rory putts like craps with a Method and Scotty Cameron ands it becomes Nike sucks at all clubs topic and Tiger insults ? Titleist and Scotty Cameron putters suck then as well. Pretty sure all golfers at some points decline interviews.

What is more dumb , arguing abouts equipment nobody cares whether you or your ex-pro friends, shop owner friends , etc play or nots : or insulting each other and Tiger ?  Dumb all arounds.

Peoples like Nike , get over it if you do nots. Nobody really shoulds care abouts it.

I like the method.  

I think the shapes are a little weird though-  

If there was a 006, the zing-y one, with a site line on the flange I'd give it a go.  

I wonder how this thread would go if the methods weren't as busy, and a little more traditionally shaped?

Bottom line- I'd be up for anything that made me better.
