Great set of junior golf clubs, August 17, 2009
We ordered these for our grandson's tenth birthday. Nice junior sets are somewhat hard to find. They are the perfect set for him to start lessons with and continue to play with for several years. Good quality clubs and substantial bag.

Golf Clubs > Sets > Top Flite

Looking for a good introductory set while you learn the ins and outs of the game? Look no further than the Top Flite XL 5000 18-piece golf set, which includes everything you need to hit the links in confidence.
The XL 5000 set comes with a driver, 2 fairway woods, 2 hybrids, 6 irons, a putter, a bag, head covers, and a rain hood .
The woods' draw-biased weighting system favors golfers with natural slices.
The XL 5000 starts with a 460cc forged driver, which boasts a draw-biased weight screw, a huge sweet spot, and a Synchro-flex graphite shaft. The features combine to produce a driver with outstanding distance and accuracy, a must for golfers of all skill levels. The draw-biased weight screw is a particularly handy feature for beginners, who tend to have natural slices built into their swings. The set's two stainless-steel fairway woods (3-wood and 5-wood), meanwhile, also include draw-biased weight screws, but with the addition of True Temper steel shafts for consistent shot making. And rather than long irons, the set includes easy-to-hit 4- and 5-hybrids, which help you hit better shots from a variety of lies.
The set also includes six perimeter-weighted stainless steel irons: a 6-iron, 7-iron, 8-iron, 9-iron, pitching wedge, and sand wedge. Each perimeter-weighted stainless-steel iron features a deep undercut cavity back and dual-balanced weight screws for a lower and deeper center of gravity (CG), producing enhanced forgiveness and control. And once you hit the green, the set's CNC-milled, soft-face, mallet-ring putter takes over. The putter offers a high moment-of-inertia (MOI) design and an alignment stripe, providing improved accuracy on the greens and a consistent roll. The set concludes with an ultra-lightweight, durable stand bag with a padded dual carrying strap, five head covers, and a rain hood. 
Product Features:
+18-piece golf set that includes everything a beginner needs to hit the course
+460cc forged driver with draw-biased weight screw and huge sweet spot
+3-wood, 5-wood, 4-hybrid, and 5-hybrid help you hit confident shots from a variety of lies
+6 perimeter-weighted stainless steel irons (6-SW) offer enhanced forgiveness and control
+Ultra-lightweight, durable stand bag, 5 head covers, and rain hood; 2-year warranty
A fully loaded 18-piece set that's the total package in one box. The Top-Flite XL 5000 Set is comprised of a 460cc forged driver with draw-biased weighting, two matching stainless steel fairway woods, two easy-to- hit stainless steel hybrids, six perimeter-weighted stainless steel irons and a putter. Also included are a lightweight stand bag and five head covers. Available in left and right-handed sets.

Golf Balls > Callaway

Simply put, Callaway Golf engineers have re-invented tour golf ball performance. This isn't a small step forward. It's a giant leap forward. The new Tour i Golf Ball is the most technologically advanced tour ball you've ever played, providing the perfect balance of breakthrough distance and control. Innovative 4-piece inertia technology utilizes a tungsten-infused outer core to shift weight away from the center of the ball, reducing driver spin for maximum distance and straighter shots. The softer core formulation provides unparalleled tour feel and the softer urethane cover generates more short-game spin for precision control and aggressive shot-making. A refined HEX Aerodynamics pattern further increases distance through reduced drag and better stability. 4 pieces, 2 cores, 1 unbeatable ball.
Product Features:
+The fastest growing ball on Tour in 2008
+Tungsten-Infused outer core distributes weight away from the center of the golf ball to increase the ball's Moment of Inertia (MOI), reducing spin off the driver for longer and straighter shots.
+Dual Core combines a lower compression inner core inside a higher compression outer core to manage spin - less spin off driver for more distance and more spin around the green for better control.
+New, softer thermoset urethane cover provides unmatched feel with increased short-game spin for precision control around the greens
High density mantle layer works with the dual core to produce high ball speed and move more weight to the perimeter.

Turns out all golf ball are NOT the same, April 5, 2009
I've noticed some difference in what I have played; some feel brittle, but go a long ways, others feel spongy, but I have played whatever was on sale, had won or had been given as a gift. I read the 2008 Golf Digest article on golf balls and tried to match my game to the balls they suggested for my profile. I had been given a box of these at an outing and put them on the shelf "for later". I decided to try them late in the season of my league and at first didn't really notice much difference. Then I began to notice a pattern in how my play around the green was changing. I was repairing a lot of ball marks on the green because these balls just seemed to STICK when they hit the green. I suppose the ball spin (which I never paid attention to in previous purchases or really was aware of the feature) is a big part of it. I'm looking forward to hitting these with the new Callaway irons I bought last week.
