My New Bag

No love for the copper finish?

 

I thought about them, but I have always preferred the darker or chrome finishes.

I want to try those wedges. Not sure they have as much relief on the sole as I like. Hard to tell from pictures cuz I know they have it and they smoothed the transition into the bounce. They might have more than it looks like. Have to get my hands on them to see if I like. At least they don't have a big X on them, as far as the looks go!

 

They are rather wide soled wedges, although they do have a good bit of relief to them. I was able to open the face of the 58* as much as I could with other wedges I have used. There is a new model being released later this year, they haven't shown them to us yet.

The bag arrived, I was hoping that the red version would be available, but they haven't decided on it yet. I also got a few of the new Hex Chrome+ golf balls to try.

 

 

 

 

Chrome+ ? Do tell. New version for this year? Loved the chrome last year as a cold weather option.

It's due out in April, it is a four piece version of the original Chrome. They tell me it produces faster ball speeds but it slightly higher spinning off of the driver than the Chrome or the Hex Black Tour. It is going to retail at $40 a dozen so it is right in between the Black and the Chrome as far as price.

Between the time I wrote the comment and your response now, I'm actually getting a little tired of significant rust/wearing on my raw wedge. Next time, I'm going with a satin or black chrome finish because I'm starting to like the idea of them looking relatively new versus it looking like it's been in the bag for years. I wouldn't mind getting a set of Mizuno MP-T4s.

The rust doesn't really bother me too much, but the overall look of the bronze finish Callaway uses doesn't suit my eye.

Changed over to the X Hot Pro 18* hybrid, hanging onto the X Utility for certain courses, but the X Hot Pro is a little more versatile.

Beaautiful set-up!

 

Have you ever been a Cally Staffer prior?

 

Have you always carried 3 wedges? If not, what were your thoughts in goin to three?

 

Thanx much

 

Have a great season!

 

My Best,

Richard

I actually hated Callaway products for my game prior to this season. I could never hit their drivers well enough to even think about gaming one. I was just really blown away by their products this season, and was looking to change irons so I went to Carlsbad with an opening and liked everything.

 

As far as wedges, I played four last year, but had always played three before then and found that I could hit all the shots I want with these lofts and with the added forgiveness versus blades I put a three iron back in play.

Ah Dude, you hit the pin! Though I've had season tickets first under my father, than I got 'em when I got back to Pittsburgh for the Pens, the Flyers have always been my fave team.

 

Steve Durbano! Bob Kelly! The Hammer! Bill Barber! Bernie & "The Fog" man! Man I couldn't skate a lick, and played football, but I loved those guys, especially Kelly, and my football number was #9 till I had to take a linebacker's number in 9th grade. That wild-ass hair & his hands taped like a fighter's, and guys would literally skate away from him instead of fighting, When's the last time that ya saw an NHLer do that, even if they're not a fighter? I was heart broken when he ended up in Pgh, though obviously I got to see him play alll of time.

 

And I was so happy when the Reckin Ball got traded to 'em. He's a member at my club now though back then he would play as a guest of a man(the team neurosurgeon) who's daughter he would eventually marry, and he's the classiest guy that you'd ever want to meet. And he hits a nice ball. He can play.

 

Anyway, great to have ya in the forum.

 

BTW, how do ya like the LE driver? I had one, traded it & just got another one. I'm debatin spendin the $$ on a shaft. You don't really know me, though the last thing that I need is another driver, though damn, it's purdy!

 

Have a good one

Really like those MacDaddy 2's. I'm looking to get the 54 and 58 myself and give them a head to head against my Vokeys. I've been playing the 200 series Vokeys for so long now and love the way they work for me. I did try the Callaway Jaws series and they shredded the cover of the golf ball. So I see your a Flyers season ticket holder. I had tickets from 75 -87 then I got married and my Mom and Brother took my two seats. How are the New Callway CB's? Also where you playing out of Philly area. I play in a bunch of GAP events so maybe i've played at your club.

 

Take care, Tim

Beautiful wedges & fill!!

 

How do they stack up to original, pre-CC Jaws?

 

Also, have you hadda chance to hit/play their driving iron or any of the other ones out there(Adams, Titleist & apparently now Ping for you guys)? Thoughts?

 

Thanx much

They are bringing it to retail in the states at $349, it's on the Odyssey site, but the new woods and wedges have kind of taken the spotlight from them. My rep doesn't even have any samples yet.

We aren't a GAP member facility. I have been impressed with the irons, I've played blades for years so this was a big move for me and I have been pleased so far. I'm more in the Princeton area now.

Switched to the 60* C Grind and added the Adams DHY 21* hybrid in place of the 3 iron. I also went back to KBS Tour shafts in white pearl.

So far I am happy with it, I was worried that I may not be able to open the face as much due to the wider sole, but you can still open the face a good amount without the leading edge getting too high. I also like how easy it is to hit lower flighted high spin chips with it.

Originally I had asked my rep to try and locate a black version of the White Damascus, he told me he was unable to locate one since I didn't want the new iX version with the high toe. Just got an email from a buddy of mine who is in Japan and he found one at a shop over there and he grabbed it for me. So in a couple of weeks I should have the same putter with a black finish, my wife thinks I am nuts that the finish matters that much to me.
