You have to deselect one that you don't want before you can select another one. It's not very intuitive but it's there. For example, if you want to change to a 10.5 degree lofted driver, you deselect a club that's not locked, like a 2 iron, then select the driver loft you want, then deselect the driver you don't want, and finally select your 2 iron again. Again, not very intuitive but it only takes an extra 3 seconds to do what you want. As far as the problem with turning your hands over in your swing, that's certainly true. Don't try to use Tiger Woods 08 on the Wii to improve your real game or you real life progress will go backwards. But keep in mind, the benefit of the Wii, at least in my opinion, is that it gets you up off your rear and makes you put a little physical activity into your day. Probably not a huge benefit for golfers or other active folks who stay in good shape. But for the generation of kids with pot bellies and very well defined thumbs and forefingers, it's a good, and fun, way to get them off the couch (even if their just in front of the couch). Overall, I like the Wii and the TW 08 game for it. Actually, you can change the clubs in your bag. You have to deselect one that you don’t want before you can select another one.

The main reason I bought a Wii was to have an interactive golf game. There are many features that were missing from previous games. The biggest one is the fact that you can not change which clubs you want to carry in your bag. Sure, you can change the brands, but you can not change the loft of your driver or put a 5-wood in your bag. The biggest gap is between your pw and sw; nothing better than a 35 yard gap in your short irons. Another problem I found was the fact that if you turn your hands over in your swing you are going to hit a huge hook. I have found that if you are willing to spend some money on a new console, go with an Xbox 360 or a ps3. Not only will you get a more reliable game, but the graphics are killer.

This does not by a long shot beat the real thing. Be careful though of playing to much virtual golf, it may affect your real game :) Best Jeff Taylor Tony,
