I have a 16* pro with a rip- had a di shaft in there, not a good fit for me. Also had an 18 and a 20 with di's- didn't like the lofts for my set makeup. The 16* with the rip may have a shot to knock out the 16* peanut with infra I've been playing for damn near 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPY ZINGER Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 First round of the year in with the Prototypes yesterday. Lots of early season rust to shake off, but initial impressions...These shafts are all UST Describes them to be with respect to tightening dispersion. Shots (the decent ones at least) were laser straight. I am also about a club longer but I am also playing these in the X-Hot pros, so I am guessing that has a lot to do with it. The feeling of these are so smooth. Although I do not have any injuries or issues with the upper body (other than extremely solid pectoral muscles, so apparel can be an issue) I can imagine that a switch to these would really dampen shock feedback. The most surprising aspect is no doubt, the feel. They feel like pure silk, very smooth for a 125g shaft. First iron shafts that I have played that could really have a real and true impact on lowering a handicap, with better accuracy into greens. I have never been excited about iron shafts until these. Mostly because, even as an 11 HDCP, there is a real and tangible difference you can immediately see/feel when putting these into play. Oh...The ATTAS in the X-Hot...

The Artful Duffer Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hey Zinger, I know it's early in the season but how'd the X-Hot fairway treat you? I'm toying with the idea of the xhot or the fit extreme 3 wood and would love whatever feedback you could give. And did you play the chrome +? If so how were they?

SPY ZINGER Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 I just wanted to give a little update on the RECOILs and XHOT Pros to see if you have any feedback. Overall, this combination is extremely easy to hit. Forgiving, and easy to look down upon. The only negatives that I see are: 1. This combination flies about a club longer than all of my previous sets. Not the end of the world, but I am a guy that is resistant to change. 2. No matter where you hit the ball on the face, it feels like a pure crisp shot. I believe this is a combination of the forgiving irons combined with the dampening effect of the shafts as well. Again, not the end of the world, but a feel I am just no used to. 3. They fly higher too, which with the distance gain, is not a bad thing at all.

Rickles Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 A couple things: 1. Congrats on the single digit. That's a big milestone. Now it's time to work towards a + handicap. 2.

Why would you not play the JP wedges if they are the best ever? Are you just going to display them? Thanks, I appreciate it...I was off this past week, and shot a couple 83's and was on sub 80 watch until 17 each day. Then, a 94/92 mixed in as well, so I am still capable of disaster. I wont have time in the next 12 years to dedicate myself to even come close to a plus. In fact, this is the lowest it's ever been, and unsustainable. I just don't have the time. Your second question is a very good one. There are some guys that simply park a car, wipe it with a cloth diaper, and look at it. What's the point of an equipment purchase if you're not going to use it? If it's the best, why aren't you playing it? Look Zinger, you're an asshat, just play the wedges they are not doing you any good locked in a vault. Hey sideburns, you're a joke, just play them. Zinger, take some low T supplements you boob. I get it, I do. But at the same time, I am a complicated guy. As I have said before, and tell my wife almost daily, you don't have to understand it, you just have to accept it.

SPY ZINGER Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks Rickles, I appreciate it. Agreed, you can find time for almost anything, if you make some cuts. Much of the writing I do, and working out for that matter, comes late at night, or at least when the kids are asleep. Other comments (like this one) or forum reading come via the iPhone whenever I get a minute. In fact, I am coming to you live, right from the Zinger Tempurpedic. I suppose I could just roll over a run my fingers through my wife's hair, but I'm making the choice to have a discussion with you instead. One I do not regret either! I'll take your advice though, and give myself some more time for practice. Points well taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
