10/17/06 -- What actually makes the ball roll with less skipping and even though you have your own putter, is there a brand which will prevent this skipping?
By FRANK THOMAS
10/4/06 -- During our club championship this past weekend we had an incident where a contestant threw his putter in anger and it struck another player.

10/10/06 -- ‘I have heard that the stated loft on a driver will play 1 1/2 degrees weaker. Is this true and would you please elaborate?’

9/26/06 -- I agree that with so many shafts available, most golfers can barely figure out what the differences are, never mind figuring out how to make a decision about them. The standard shaft works beautifully for 90% of all golfers.

9/19/06 -- With all the discussion lately of using a ‘Tour Ball’, I wonder about something. Wouldn’t a dead ball, or slower ball, be more forgiving, inviting even harder swings, rather than the opposite?

9/5/06 -- Has there been much change over the years in blade irons? Would there be any advantage to looking into a new set of apex clubs?

8/29/06 -- I’m confused about the length of the shafts in my wedges.
By FRANK THOMAS
8/22/06 -- I noticed that Tiger removed his 2-iron from the bag for the PGA Championship last week.
By FRANK THOMAS
8/14/06 -- What type of shaft should I be using with respect to the ‘kick-point’?
By FRANK THOMAS
8/8/06 -- I know that wind and the temperature has an effect on a golf ball, but does humidity have any effect on whether a ball flies shorter or further?
By FRANK THOMAS
8/1/06 -- I found your recent response to the guys question about shaft length very interesting. When it comes to shortening clubs, what is too much?
By FRANK THOMAS
7/25/06 -- I was told that by golf retailers, I should not try to adjust the lie angles of my driver or fairway woods. Some pros say they have done this. Why can you adjust irons but not woods?
By FRANK THOMAS
7/18/06 -- I am a 15 handicap golfer and a little confused about wedges and what to look for. I am told by one friend that I need a Gap wedge and other golfing buddy that I need a Lob wedge. Who is right?
By FRANK THOMAS
7/11/06 -- I believe you had something to do with green speed measurement standards.
By FRANK THOMAS
6/27/06 -- Like most golfers I am looking for a driver that is easy to hit and yet can carry the distance off the tee box.
By FRANK THOMAS
6/27/06 -- I recently saw a feature on the swings of Bubba Watson and J.B. Holmes.
By FRANK THOMAS
6/20/06 -- There is nothing worse than hitting your Sunday best and not being fully rewarded for this because you compromised with your ball selection.
By FRANK THOMAS
6/13/06 -- The Y groove is really a U groove which is milled into the face with a Y-cutter
By FRANK THOMAS
6/6/06 -- It is a lot easier to shorten the shaft to 45 by cutting it down from the butt end.
By FRANK THOMAS
5/30/06 -- I’ve noticed that some drivers have different swing weights even with a shaft that weighs the same. Can you tell me how that works?
By FRANK THOMAS

5/23/06 -- My driver is 45 inches in length and I hit the golf ball all over the course. Do you recommend I cut the shaft to 44 inches?
By FRANK THOMAS
5/16/06 -- I cut my putter down from 35 to 33, and afterwards it felt too light. I taped some quarters to the back and liked it better. Is it legal for me to use the putter with the quarters taped on?
