Is the Golf Equipment Industry an Honest One?

Before you read my blog today, which I deliberately delayed for two days (as you will understand after reading today's blog) please see my previous blog on Saturday about my attempts to contact Phil Mickelson about his trying my PROBE 20/20 putter. Then please read the COMMENTS from Saturday's blog. My question to you: "Do you believe the 25 million golfers in this country are ready to learn the truth about the golf equipment industry?"...........................................

I started playing golf when I was twelve years old. My Dad taught me the game to teach me honesty, integrity, perseverance, courtesy, and the other good qualities most of us cherish in a person.

Growing up, my heroes were Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tom Watson. In my capacity as founder and President of Probe Golf, I have had the privilege of meeting all four of these great golfers. I detail some of these experiences in my new novel, LOVE WAS NOT ENOUGH (www.lovewasnotenough.com).

I was glad to help Mr. Palmer improve his putting in 1992 by showing him how my PROBE 20/20 center-shafted and inverted-shafted putter could control the break in short breaking putts, and eliminate the guesswork as to how his ball would break.

Tom Watson tried my putter and then confessed to me that the problem "was with the archer, not the bow".

Jack Nicklaus commented on how far my Probe driver carried the ball in the air in the dry air at Desert Mountain north of Scottsdale, AZ.

And Gary Player agreed to be the host in my PROBE 20/20 infomercial, wherein we sold 82,000 putters on TV in 1993. I spent three days with Mr. Player in 1993 while filming our infomercial at his Alaqua C.C. in Orlando, and learned what a true gentlemen he is.

I have always been proud that I was a golfer, and a good one. In 1986 I started researching what makes a set of irons great, and from that knowledge made myself my first set of PROBE irons. Although I had played golf for 22 years, I had never made a hole-in-one, until 1986. I made two in two months after playing my own irons, holing a 5-iron at 195 yards, and a 2-iron at 222 yards.

I have always bragged to friends that the game of golf taught us great life lessons, until Saturday, May 29, 2010. Saturday I learned that the game of golf, at least as far as equipment manufacturers in their contracts with tour stars are concerned, is tainted by dishonesty and corruption!

Last Friday and Saturday, I indicated I was going to try to help one of my favorite tour stars, Phil Mickelson, with his putting, especially on short, breaking putts. Phil has had problems with them. As Arnie knows, my PROBE 20/20 puts intentional side spin on breaking putts to reduce the break in a putt, and make them easier to make.

I thought I could help Phil make those putts, and help him pass Tiger Woods as the best player in the world! A great goal, right?

WRONG!

Saturday, after my blog, I was contacted by email by a Mr. Glenn Cohen, an attorney from Jacksonville, Florida, claiming to be Phil's attorney and agent. In no uncertain terms Mr. Cohen warned me never to try to get close to Phil Mickelson, period. He warned me that I would never be given the opportunity to talk to Phil, about his putter, about using my putter, nor about any subject at all! He warned me not to even try to get Phil Mickelson's attention, at all, period!

Additionally, in his email he told me, "you have no chance period in having a relationship with my client (Mickelson) - leave us alone and refrain from contacting people who have no intention of doing business with you - I hope I have made myself clear." Glenn Cohen.

I was shocked!

Could the equivalent of the Mafia be present within the golf equipment industry? Before Saturday I never would have believed it. Today, I am sure of it.

Four days ago I was Phil Mickelson's biggest fan. Today I am no longer his fan.

I have learned over the decades that you can usually judge someone by the company they keep. Yesterday I did some investigating of my own, and then instructed my attorney to continue with a more detailed investigation of Mr. Cohen.

I leaned that Phil Mickelson's agent is a personal injury lawyer, what some people would consider an ambulance chaser, the "bottom feeders" among lawyers.

The name of his law firm is Barnes and Cohen, located at 2747 Art Museum Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32207. (www.barnesandcohen.com)

Interestingly, Mr. Cohen identified himself in his email to me as "G COHEN", but used the email:
"bbcohen@bellsouth,net". When most legitimate businesses use a "name"@(their own website), such as gcohen@barnesandcohen.com, Mr. Cohen does not do so. Again, very interesting.

Secondly, when I researched their website at www.networksolutions.com, and emailed the owner of the website, the email came back as "not a valid email". Network Solutions also showed that the website, www.barnesandcohen.com, was started in October of 2007, LESS THAN THREE YEARS AGO, yet they claim they have been in business since 1974! Emails, and the internet have been around much longer than three years, since the early 1990's!

Thirdly, there is another company behind Barnes and Cohen, Injury Lawyers, and it is BBC JUSTICE , which is located in Drums, PA, at a P.O. Box! If you have any business experience within the United States, you know that Florida is a favorite state for "dishonest" businessmen in the northeastern states to do business, because Florida allows anyone living there to hide all of their assets in their home, where no one can get their hands on their assets if you win a lawsuit (judgment) against them. Most states limit how much you can protect your assets in your home, such as the $185,000 limit in California. A dishonest person may hide millions in his own home in Florida, and no one can touch it.

Further investigation of Mr. Cohen on Saturday disclosed his involvement in actions (lawsuits) against organizations such as the PGA of America on behalf of PGA tour stars. Mickelson and many other tour stars are managed by Gaylord Sports Management! And who is the attorney that represents Gaylord Sports Management? That's right, Glenn Cohen!

How would an attorney like Glenn Cohen become Phil Mickelson's attorney? Does Phil Mickelson know what kind of person his attorney is, and what he is (or may be) capable of doing?

I have heard mixed opinions of Mickelson by golf fans, both good and bad. In the past I have chosen not to believe the bad. Now I am not so sure.

QUESTIONS:

Are you a Phil Mickelson fan? If so, 1) would you like to see Phil putt better by using a putter that will allow him to make more putts and win more majors and more prize money, or 2) do you not care if he plays a less productive putter because he is paid a lot of money to play it?

Do you believe the golf equipment industry is an honest one?

Do you believe that Callaway's management team is willing to test its equipment against any other company's equipment, and let its signed tour stars like Mickelson play the competition's equipment if that equipment proves to be superior?

Assuming I could get close enough to Mickelson so he could try my putter, I'm willing to bet I could talk him into using it on tour, and that he would then become the world's Number One player.

The question is, would Callaway allow him to even give my putter a try? Do you believe they would?

Do you?

Do you really?

Do you believe Callaway's management team is aware of Mr. Cohen's threatening tactics?

Do you think Callaway's management condones his tactics?

Do you think the world's golfers deserve to know what the golf equipment industry is really all about?

Do you believe most PGA Tour golfers really use the equipment they think is the best equipment for them?

Or, do you believe any tour player will play any equipment if they are paid enough money?

A letter to Arnold Palmer

Yesterday I wrote about trying to get Phil Mickelson's attention so he could make twice as many five-foot putts or shorter and move into the world's Number One spot. Today I want you to read a letter I just mailed to Arnold Palmer at his home on a similar subject:


Arnie,

I hope you and your family are all healthy and doing well.

Do you remember in September of 1992 at the GTE Western Classic in Seattle, WA when I showed you how to use my PROBE 20/20 inverted-shafted putter to take the break out of short breaking putts? You used it that week and finished seventh, your best finish of the year! You used it the next Monday and Tuesday when you teamed up with Peter Jacobson in the Fred Meyer in Portland.

Could I ask a favor of you? I'd like to convince Phil Mickelson to let me make a PROBE 20/20 putter for him, and teach him how to use the toe and heel marks to control the break. I think I can make a much better putter out of Phil if he would try my putter.

We sold over 120,000 PROBES until I retired from making them in 1996, but I'm getting the itch to reintroduce a new model, the PROBE 2010.

Arnie, what I like about the game of golf is that it teaches us honesty, integrity, patience, perseverance, courtesy, and other fine qualities. Unfortunately, I have found the golf equipment industry anything but honest.

I tried to find out on the internet how to contact Phil, and offer to make him a PROBE putter. I sent such a message to one website, and three hours later a T.R. Reinman replied. He did not identify himself, so I have no idea if "T.R." is Phil's agent, attorney, boyfriend, or what! He said in his email to me, "Peter, Thanks for your interest in helping Phil. I'll tell him about your offer tomorrow but I can tell you he's happy with Dave Stockton and will be working with him in the run-up to the Open."

I replied, and asked "T.R." if he knew what length putter Phil preferred, so I could make a demo for Phil. But then the truth came out. T.R. replied to my question about putter length with this, "Pete, Again, thanks, but Phil's working with Stockton and has a contract with Callaway. The Probe will not fit in his bag." T.R.

Fans of Phil Mickelson, what does that mean, "The Probe will not fit in his bag?"

To me, that means that Phil can't play anything but Callaway. Is that what it means to you? Obviously it does not mean that the Probe is too big to physically "fit" in Phil's bag, right?

In this day of competitive golf, every player has to have his head clear of other problems to play well. Tiger can't play well right now because his head is on his soon-to-be-ex wife, and his mistresses, what the fans think of him, and........!

Phil has had to suffer through Amy's breast cancer. He has struggled with is putting, and has seen Dave Stockton for how many months now, with little improvement?

I think I can spend one hour with Phil and make him the best putter from inside five feet on tour by showing him how my Probe 20/20 putter can "take out the break" on short breaking putts.

So I tried to offer to do just that for Phil, and what does "T.R." Reinman do? He just sent me an email threatening me if I do not retract what I said about Phil having to play Callaway in his bag! That's just great, T.R. Give Phil one more thing to worry about, his agent, or attorney, or whatever you are! Now his fans may think Phil's own agent is interfering with his ability to make a tricky, breaking, four-footer!

A NOTE TO PHIL MICKELSON FANS: CONTACT GAYLORD SPORTS MANAGEMENT, ATTENTION: T.R. REINMAN (treinman@gaylordssports.com) and ask him if he'd like to see Phil putt better and become Number One in the world, or ask him if his commission from Phil's contract with Callaway means more to him.

Arnie, when I was a tour rep in the 1990's, the players under contract usually had to play the set of irons, but the more important clubs such as the wedges, the driver, and the putter could be anything the player wanted to play.

What has happened to honesty in advertising golf equipment, Arnie? You played my PROBE 20/20 putter, and had all three weights we made, but then signed with Callaway and you had to change to a Callaway putter.

Chi Chi won four tournaments in three months in 1991 after adding 30 yards to his drives with my PROBE driver, and was the leading money-winner in June, 1991, on the Senior Tour. Then his agent, Eddie Elias, faxed me and demanded that I pay Chi Chi $150,000 to play the driver for the rest of the year. I refused, so he switched to Callaway's Big Bertha, lost 30 yards in distance, and dropped to eleventh on the money list!

Larry Laoretti won the 1992 Senior United States Open Championship using a PROBE driver I had just made for him the week before. He also played the PROBE 20/20 putter. Then another manufacturer paid him a lot of money to switch drivers, and he never won another tournament!

Do you know T.R. Reinman? I wonder what T.R. stands for. Is he hiding something by using T.R. instead of a first name? I can't find anything about him online. Does anyone know for sure if the blade Phil uses is a Callaway?

Maybe I'm just too naive to be in the golf equipment business, because honesty does not seem to be the norm. I'm now in the golf services business, making it easier for golfers to play private country clubs when they travel than ever before.

I'd love to hear your comments on this subject, Arnie. And if you have any influence with Phil Mickelson, and can get him to try my PROBE 20/20 putter, that would be great for Phil, and it would be great for the game of golf. This weekend would be perfect for him to try it out. After all, he missed the cut with his present putter!

Personally, I'd like to see Phil take over the Number One player in the world position, and keep it. After all, how many private jets does he need? But being the Number One golfer in the world?.....Priceless!

Phil Mickelson Fans! Want Phil to putt better?

Do you believe PGA Tour stars play the best equipment they can play? Or do you believe they play what their agents tell them to play, because their agents and the player are paid a lot of money to play a certain manufacturer's equipment?

The latter is true, unfortunately. When I was making PROBE golf equipment, I convinced hundreds of tour stars that my PROBE drivers, irons, or putter were better than what they were playing, but then they would ask, "What will you pay me to play it?"

Are PGA Tour players just prostitutes for the major golf equipment manufacturers? Unfortunately, yes, they are!

For example, are you a Phil Mickelson fan? If Phil could make twice as many putts inside five feet, is there any question he would be the world's Number One player? How many times have we watched Phil stroke a slippery five footer? Then he lips it out and it goes five feet past the hole, right? I remember watching him five putt from four feet once. Remember that?

I retired from making PROBE golf equipment in 1996. I had some PROBE 20/20 putters in inventory (storage) for another six or seven years, so I sold them all over the internet the next few years to former PROBE putter customers who had owned a PROBE 20/20, and wanted to find another one.

Last night I had an image in my mind of Phil passing Tiger by a bunch of points by becoming a much better putter by using my PROBE 20/20. Phil moved so far ahead of Tiger in points that Tiger would never catch up, and play the rest of his life as the Number two or three player in the world!

I got so excited about the possibility that I got online and typed in "how to contact Phil Mickelson" at a search engine. I was taken to a website, so I sent Phil a message about his putting. Three hours later I received an email from Phil's agent/friend, T.R. Reinman.

"T.R." thanked me for the message, and "promised" he would ask Phil if he'd give the PROBE 20/20 putter a try. I felt encouraged, so I replied back to "T.R.", asking if he could tell me what length putter Phil preferred, so I could make up a demo for Phil.

Then the honesty finally came out. T.R. replied that Phil is signed with Callaway, so he can only play Callaway clubs in his bag.

I love the game of golf because it teaches us honesty and integrity. Why then is the golf equipment industry so dishonest? Why do they lie to us when they tell us their driver, or their putter, is the best product around, and then we find out that money is the reason people play their equipment? Would you play a Callaway putter if Callaway paid you $5 million a year to play it? Of course you would!

Does anyone know who this "T.R." Reinman is, really? I researched him online, and I can't even find out what the T.R. stands for. What is he hiding?

Phil, who is T.R.? Your best friend? Your agent? What percentage of your annual Callaway income does he get?

Phil, if you want to be the Number One player in the world, email me at contact@reciprocalgolf.com. My golf service company, Reciprocal Golf, owns PROBE Golf, and I will make you a better putter, by far.

But I won't pay you to play it. You will play it because it will give you much more than just more money. After all, how many private jets do you need? But being the Number One player in the world! - Priceless!

Laughter is the best policy!

One of the things I like about the game of golf is the chance to meet and befriend new acquaintances. There is nothing like a good joke to relax a stranger, and telling a joke on the golf course is usually a good way to start 18 holes of golf. Here is one of my favorites:

Sam and Becky are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.

Sam says to Becky, "Becky, I was wondering...have you ever cheated on me?"
Becky replies, "Oh, Sam, why would you ask such a question now? You don't want to ask that question."

"Yes, Becky, I really want to know. Please..."

"Well, all right. Yes, 3 times..."

"Three? Well, when were they?" he asked.

"Well, Sam, Remember when your were 35 years old and you really wanted to start your own business and no bank would give you a loan? Remember, then one day the bank president himself came over to the house and signed the loan papers, no questions asked?"

"Oh, Becky, you did that for me! I respect you even more than ever, to do such a thing for me. So, when was number 2?"

"Well, Sam, remember when you had that last heart attack and you were needing that very tricky operation, and no surgeon would touch you? Then remember how Dr. DeBakey came all the way up here, to do the surgery himself, and then you were in good shape again?"

"I can't believe it! Becky, you should do such a thing for me, to save my life. I couldn't have a more wonderful wife. To do such a thing, you must really love me, Darling. I couldn't be more moved. So, all right then, when was number 3?"

"Well, Sam, remember a few years ago, when you really wanted to be president of the golf club and you were 17 votes short...?"

Have you played private country clubs?

I received a great email from one of my members at Reciprocal Golf the other day after he had played a round at a private country club that we had arranged for him. Garrett Garland has to be the best golfer among our members. A few months ago I had set him up to play a private club where he played with three of the club's members.

The three members played from the white tees, and Garrett played from the blues, and played the ball down. Garrett shot a 63 and beat the course record of 64 by one stroke! The members took him into the clubhouse after the round and had a party for him, acknowledging that he was the new course record-holder. Garrett is 65 years old.

Here is his email he sent to me after he played the TPC Course at Piper Glen last week:

Pete, I played the TPC Course at Piper Glen today that you set up for me. They used to host a Senior Tour event there until Quail Hollow got a PGA Tour event and then they canceled it. Arnold Palmer ran it.

I came down alone as my buddy had to work. It is expensive but very nice and in terrific condition. The pro even gave me two bags of Tour Only Pro V's to hit at the range.

I talked to the head pro for about five minutes, thanking him for letting me play his course. I talked to the assistant pro for about fifteen minutes and the starter for another ten minutes. I then hit balls and chatted with the members on the range.

I got paired up with the President and Senior Vice President of Fluor, one of the largest builders in the world; both great guys and the VP was a 3-handicap. The President doesn't play all that much and he was pretty erratic early on. I gave him a tip on the 6th hole and he started hitting it much better. We played the tips and I shot a few under, 68 or 69. We had a lot of laughs.

After the round we went in for a beer and talked for about half an hour. They asked if I would play with them again, and of course I said, Yes. I know we both harp on this but let your members know to be especially nice to everyone they meet at a course where they are a guest. They will not remember what you shot but they will remember what you were like as a person. It always pays off.

Take care Pete.

Garrett

It is golfers like Garrett Garland that prompted me to start Reciprocal Golf in February of 2003. Even members of private country clubs have trouble getting onto other private golf courses because their head pros are too busy to set it up for them. And many non-members of a private club wish they could play many private golf courses when they travel, rather than spend a small fortune to join one club and only play that one club!

I enjoy receiving emails like Garrett's above from our members. They remind me why I do what I do.

Feeling Sick? Go win a golf tournament!

Why do so many PGA Tour players win a tournament when they feel like they want to die?

It's not an accident that players who are feeling under the weather end up playing well, and often win. When the body is hurting, the player just tries to swing within himself, not overdoing it. If he has a shot that temps him to carry a lake and get home in two, his body tells him not to try it, just swing easy, lay up, and play safe.

Often that decision leads to a safe birdie, rather than a bogie due to a risky shot going awry.

I've teed it up myself with friends when I'd rather be home in bed, and played (scored) well.

Look at Phil Mickelson. How many times has he, in his own words, "awakened in a pool of my own vomit?" Then he went on to win.

This weekend, Australian Jason Day started the Byron Nelson Championship feeling terrible. He had seen several doctors to try to find out what was ailing him. He thought he had the flu, or possibly food poisoning. He almost withdrew from the tournament before it began.

Instead, he just played one shot at a time, and kept his swing within himself.

How do you play when you're not feeling very well?

The next time you tee it up, even if you feel well, try an experiment. Pretend you don't feel very well, and hit each shot as if you are just trying to conserve energy. Don't try to swing too hard

You just might play your best round ever!

RULES OF GOLF

I'm traveling today, with little time for a blog, but thought I'd put up these Rules Of Golf I found online years ago:

* Golfers who claim they don't cheat, also lie.

* If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead is still putting out, you have two options: you may immediately shank a lay-up or you may wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there.

* The less skilled a player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

* The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all your errors.

* If it ain't broke, try changing your grip.

* It's not a gimme if you're still away.

* Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

* A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponent's luck.

It's surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 10.

* Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

What is your favorite thing about the game of golf?

I have played golf since I was twelve years old. I told a story the other day here at my blog about the lesson I learned when I was sixteen years old, watching Arnold Palmer play in the San Diego Open in 1964. It was the lesson about temper having no place on the golf course.

I have discussed how golf has helped me in business for forty years, meeting and befriending people who remained my friends and quite often, business partners and investors for life.

In what other game can you take the time to sit in a golf cart, or under a tree or on a bench if you are walking and waiting for the group ahead of you, and talk to your partner or your competitor?

And one of my favorite things I like to discuss at those times is telling jokes, and very often golf jokes.

Here is one of my favorites:

Four married guys went golfing together one Saturday morning. While playing the fourth hole this conversation took place:

1st guy: "You have no idea what I had to go through to be able to come out and play golf today with you three. I had to promise my wife that I will paint every room in the house next weekend."

2nd guy: "That's nothing. I had to promise my wife I will build a new deck around the pool next weekend."

3rd guy: "Man, you both have it easy! I had to promise my wife I will remodel the kitchen next weekend for her.

They continued playing the hole when they realized the fourth guy had not said a word. So they asked him, "You haven't said anything about what you had to do to be able to come golfing with us this weekend. What's the deal?"

4th guy: "I just set my alarm for 5:30 A.M. last night, and when it went off, I shut the alarm off, gave my wife a nudge while I moved close up against her behind, and asked, 'golf course or intercourse?'

Then she said, "Wear a sweater".

Favorite Quotes!


We all have our own favorite quotes. One of my favorites appeared at the end of the movie, TEARS OF THE SUN, with Bruce Willis:

"The only thing necessary for Evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing!"
Sir Edmond Burke

When I was sixteen years old, my younger brother and I went to the San Diego Open that was played in northern San Diego County in 1964. I'm not sure which course was used that year for the tournament, but Arnold Palmer was in his prime that year.

I'll never forget watching Arnie top his tee shot about 75 yards through the rough off the ninth tee. It was a par-5, so he obviously was not going to get home in two shots, maybe even three. Right after topping the tee shot, everyone in the crowd went quiet, probably astonished at what Arnie had done, and expecting some kind of outburst from Arnie.

Then we heard Arnie's voice, "That's going to make it hard to birdie the hole!"

Everyone laughed, as did I. I'll never forget that moment, and have remembered all my life that there is no place for a temper on the golf course.

That week a writer for Sports Illustrated was at the San Diego Open, and was doing a special on Junior Golf. My brother and I got together with about 25 other junior golfers and surrounded Mr. Palmer in a photo shoot for the cover of Sports Illustrated that afternoon.

Inside the issue was a quote by Arnold Palmer that I have had framed in my house for over 45 years. It goes like this:

"GOOD GOLF IS A STATE OF MIND!"
"Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated. A child can play it well and a grown man can never master it. Any single round of it is full of unexpected triumphs and seemingly perfect shots that end in disaster. It is almost a science, yet it is a puzzle without an answer. It is gratifying and tantalizing, precise and unpredictable. It requires complete concentration and total relaxation. It satisfies the soul and frustrates the intellect. It is at the same time rewarding and maddening. And it is without doubt the greatest game mankind has ever invented." ......................... Arnold Palmer 1964

Little did I know that twenty-eight years later, I would be showing Arnold Palmer at a Senior PGA Tour event how my patented PROBE 20/20 inverted-shafted putter was superior to any other golf putter on the market. That day in September, 1992, I convinced Mr. Palmer of that fact, and he went on to play his best tournament of 1992. He played my PROBE putter for a full year on tour until he was paid a lot of money to switch to playing Callaway clubs.

Do you have a favorite quote? Why is it your favorite? What were the circumstances surrounding the first time you ever heard it or read it?

How to Buy a set of Golf Clubs - Part Two

Two days ago we at PROBE GOLF had "Tom" fill out a Custom-Fitting questionnaire so we could fit him to a set of custom fit irons, to improve his shot making. After receiving the information about what he was currently playing, the Nike Slingshot 4D irons, I also asked him how far he hits his 5-iron in the air at sea level.

He said he hit it 180 yards in the air.

Here is my analysis of his current equipment: His irons are too short. At 6'2", he needs an added 3/4 of an inch in length. The shafts in his set are too flexible, and his grips are too small. His strength has to be matched to a stiffer flex so he does not overpower his irons, leading to inconsistent direction. His grip must be larger, so he has "comfortable control" of them, without having to grip his clubs too hard to keep them under control. Adding the 3/4 of an inch to the length will also eliminate his occasionally topping he ball.

The flex point in his irons as too low, causing more flex near the club head, and a ball flight that is too high. That leads to loss of control, especially in the wind. By using shafts with a higher flex point, his consistency will improve dramatically.

We'll make Tom his new set for about $300, less than half what he paid for his Nikes off the shelf, and within three months his handicap should drop to 12 or better, ten shots better than his current 22-handicap!

Do you want to lower your handicap? Answer these questions for me:

1. Name, Age, Height, Weight, your Glove size.

2. Right handed or Left handed? Handicap?

3. Current irons: Brand name, shaft name, flex (look at the iron label), Grip size.

4. What is your current flight pattern (slice, hook, high, low, typical miss hits)?

5. What would you like to change about your flight pattern?

Just Email your information to contact@reciprocalgolf.com. We will deliver your information to our PROBE GOLF office and give you our opinion about what you need to improve your handicap.

Do you have an opinion about your own experiences with custom filling?
