459.0. "OVERSIZED CLUBS" by OMDEMO::SCHULZ () Wed Nov 30 1988 19:02

    I recently purchased one of those mamoth sized clubs.  This club
    in particular is the BIG TEX sand wedge.   
    
    This club is approx. 2 to 3 times the size of any sand wedge I had
    previously seen; yet if offers the best feel of any club that I
    have ever used out of the sand.  It does have a draw back from the
    fairway or greenside, but as a sand club it is no gimmick, it truly
    performs.
    
    has anyone else used these oversized clubs and achieved the same
    good results???

	Obviously were all different... I have a 3-way tiger shark that runs from about 45 to 64 degrees and I'm selling it. It also is an oversized club and I CAN'T use it in the sand. I think the Ping SW is the nicest sand club I've ever used although my new Dunlop is working well also. Rick
459.3	Questions?????	MILKWY::CRUZ		`Mon Apr 08 1996 17:00`	6
	I'm ready to try the game. Is there any advantage between an oversized set of clubs or mid-sized? More distance, control??? Or the size just gives a better chance of hitting the ball? Thanks, Jose

	> size just gives a better chance of hitting the ball? I would add: and have it go where you intended to. Bigger head, bigger "sweetspot". It gives you larger margin for error.

	re: -.1 My pride says the same thing, so I was surprised to read on a golf magazine how many tour pros are using now Titanium "woods", which almost by default are "way oversized". I take a look at the Burner Bubble titanium driver and I feel I am looking at the plastic toy golf club I once bought for my son when he was about 4. Soooo, if tour pros are using them....

	Thanks for the article and the replies. I'll go for the oversized. Jose
