The only time I really noticed the sound was when I switched the heavier weight from the back of the club to the front to try and reduce spin. It definitely had more of a hollow metallic sound with the weight in the front. Not necessarily a bad sound but definitely different. I have no problems with it. At the start of the season I had a few "friends" apologize that I was going to waste my entire summer playing poor super game improvement irons and below average wedges. I think my 11 shot victory in our first two-day tournament of the year shut them up about that.7 points

I have to admit that this is the first weekly challenge that has me a little nervous. I tried hitting a few irons off the tee during a 9 hole round on Sunday so I would have hybrids into the green. It did not go well. I'm also terrible at chipping with anything but a wedge in my hands. I'm playing 27 holes this afternoon but will then be done with rounds for the week as I am traveling on Saturday and playing in a charity scramble on Sunday. I'm going to predict a 4th place finish this week. To my fellow competitors:5 points -

I had a 10 off 50 deal at amazon and picked these up for 46.00 ... not bad for a 140.00 shoe! Wore them for the first time yesterday and they are LEGIT. the boost is extremely comfortable and the spikes are done just right. Really like the color too...they look great in person. If you're like me and have trouble finding wide shoes these should be on your list. Good amount of room in the toebox (which I need due to bunion surgery). Very pleased... On the not so pleased front - I played well but had 40 putts ... FORTY... for 36 holes. So it's time for a new flatstick; this will be #3 for this year... really liked these when they first came out and should have bought it then. MGS #1 most wanted blade putter a couple years ago... don't let me down!5 points -
If you could go back in time and buy your favorite set brand new...

It’s been a while since I posted but it’s time to update what is in my bag for my first season of professional golf. There are definitely some improvements that I’m looking forward to but overall I’m pretty happy with my bag so far. It helps that this setup has me -2 thru 54 holes of tournament golf (and $1,200 in winnings) since the driver, 3wood and wedges went in the bag on June 23rd. So here is what is in my bag. Driver: Titleist TS3 - Diamana White Board 70X tipped 1” & 1” short 3wood: Titleist TS3 - Diamana White Board 80X Driving Iron: Titleist 712u - Accra 110i X Irons: Titleist 714 AP2 4-PW - KBS C-Taper 130 X Wedges: Vokey SM7 - Dynamic Gold X100 Putter: Evnroll ER2 - P2 Aware Grip Ball: Titleist ProV1 Yellow Glove: Under Armour Iso-Chill Range Finder: Precision Pro NX7 Pro Speed Trainer: Golf Stick Pro Carry Distances per GCQuad Dr (8.5*) - 290 3w (14.25*) - 265 2 (18*) - 245 4 (21*) - 225 5 (25*) - 215 6 (29*) - 205 7 (33*) - 195 8 (37*) - 180 9 (41*) - 165 PW (45*) - 150 50.F.12 - 133 55.S.11 - 117 60.M.08 - 105 Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy4 points

Did the fitter explain why he put you in that setup? Have you tried matching the specs to a cheaper putter? Your comments indicate you are struggling so I just wanted to say changing putter to find the right fit is a way to find a putter but there are other ways. Don’t know if you are a technical or “feel” player or if you even want to understand the stroke. Knowing you tendencies goes a long way to figuring out proper fit.4 points -

Hmm, I'm not sure I'm capable with the clubs, the best chance I would have is the wedges. I actually have hit a really hard hook with my 58 degree around a tree that looked great until it bumped a branch and went into the bunker... The irons aren't really super workable..they are just straight and long and super forgiving. I don't have recurring playing partners. I usually get paired up with someone or run into someone whose backed up and play along. the last time it happened I ran into this super nice guy who was playing with some brand new Mizuno JPX 919's Forged. We both hit off the tee, I murder the ball with my 5i and he gets up with his 4i and hits it solid but blocks it. We get down to our balls and I am a good 30 yards in front of him and in the dead center of the fairway...I almost didn't want to tell him what club I hit when he asked me... I mean it was just a 206 yd 5 iron...whats the big deal... No issues, I like it but I'm not really a sound guy, I could, in general care less about how a club sounds, I just want it to be in the fairway or on the green...4 points -

Just some follow up on the True Linkswear Knit shoe. I’ve had them for about a month now and they’ve become my daily shoe. My wife even took notice and said nice looking sneaks. I’m not one to fawn over shoes but I am very impressed with how comfy and stable they are. The toe box is a little wide for my foot but I’ve had zero issue swinging a club. They’re not for dew sweeping rounds as I found out the hard way but as an all around shoe and something to wear for a pm round I would say take a hard look.

Watched Marin Hall at lunch on how to hit a low hop and stop pitch shot. So tonight I had 29 yard (see arccos) pitch shot. So I remembered the tip--to hit it low--ow hands going back and low hands on follow through. Put the ball back in the stance. Took an aggressive pass wiith the 58* slightly delofted. The ball flew about two feet high. Took one big bounce and stopped on a dime pin high two feet from the hole. Easy putt for bogey due to coming up short on the approach wedge. After having to layup before a hazard on my 2nd shot due to a poor drive.4 points -

The new for 2019. Veylix Mansion shaft. Hoping to have it for my trip to TX next week! My buddy who sells them said if it’s tipped like JC from Veylix says, it’s a beast! He said he’s been places on the course he’s never been, and he said it’s so accurate, “You could hit it down a hallway and not hit either wall!” I love my Rome, but he said this has the accuracy of the Rome while boosting ball speed off the clubface.

Picked up mint condition M4 3hybrid and M2 4hybrid clubs on ebay for $50 each. Wasn't hitting those irons well and swapped them out. Really liking the hybrids too. Had to swallow my pride of not hitting long irons well but i'd rather score better!4 points

One of these wedges is not like the other... So a few spies know that yesterday was my last day at my previous employer and I'm starting a new job on Monday. As a parting gift, my awesome co-workers gave me a very generous gift card to Van's. Additionally, I'm about to join some select spies in the testing of a set of Lynx irons that are due to arrive mid week next week[emoji3060][emoji322][emoji869][emoji2962]. My current set through GW is all DBM black finish. I've opted to go back to classic chrome with the Lynx set. That said, I felt it appropriate to find a GW (50°) that would fit in with the rest of my Bridgestone wedges and the Lynx VT's. I found this stunning Honma TW 50° at Van's that doesn't totally look out of place. At address it looks nearly identical in shape and top line to my Bridgestones. It's got a lightly brushed chrome finish similar to the Lynx VT's. IF I ever decide to change wedges completely, I'm going to heavily consider this lineup. From what I felt off the matt this thing was just buttery forged goodness! I also got a hat. [emoji12] the more I practice, the luckier I seem to get..3 points

It was a bit of a flyer lie, and did get a good bounce upon landing. That said, it's been a very solid club and put me in good shape to hit the green. That was a bit of a dying quail duck hook, actually not bad considering how it looked when it first left the club. he's the overall ranges of each club. For the most part you can see the gap fitting has worked. There are a couple odd ball hits with the 5 hybrid and 7 iron that skew it a bit. But I'm starting to get more and more holes in where the numbers should start becoming the norm.3 points -
How'd you play?
Rickp and 2 others reacted to StrokerAce for a topic
I wasn't used to the speed of the greens and the pace threw me off the first 10 holes; last 8 I had 2 putts all the way in. The putter I was using has a heavy head so it was hard to get a feel. I practice at home on my putting mat each night and I practice at various ranges when I can get out there. I think a big part of the problem was the putter. Just never got comfortable holding it in my hands and getting a feel for the pace and I left myself some long second putts. Better days ahead!3 points -
From the people that saw me play with my old set, they are all surprised with the ball flight and some of the shots I have been able to hit. I do get a few audible, "wow" reactions with my iron shots. From someone I played with for the first time, they were surprised with the spin I was creating with the wedges. Every chip or pitch shot was checking just the way you would want, and he said, "Man you get those to spin just right."3 points

People like the way they look, I've been getting lots of oohs and aahs. Performance wise I have been hitting them really well but there hasn't been an increase in distance yet. Personally I blame winter and a complete lack of roll3 points

What sort of reaction are you getting from other golfers out on the course with the new clubs? Are you hearing any "you've never reached there before!!" from playing partners, any comments on the looks/performance, or are you sneaking in under the radar to drop some low scores?3 points -

cksurfdude and 2 others reacted to Peaksy68 for a topic
I haven't used a mirror for years, and when I got mine I thought it was faulty. My eyes were so far past the ball they were almost off the mirror. I'm certain this was contributing to my left misses, especially on longer putts. The magnetic aspect of the mirror is more of a problem for me, it feels a bit like the putter sticks to the mirror. I will look into this more. I probably don't intend on using the mirror for extended session, more for quick check ups of my head position. Speed control on long putts will be interesting to monitor. Although the mat and pressure trainer wont directly have an influence, I wouldn't be surprised if more precise speed control on 6 foot putts transfers in some degree to longer putts. Initial drills with the gate have been fun, and should have a real impact on line. Although the Puttout system won't help with reading putts, I'm a believer in the old maxim of "every putt is a straight putt". Personally I'm probably a better than average reader of putts, perhaps due to having a bit of a creative side, and constantly adjusting to subtle angles in my work.3 points -
Been switching back and forth between the gamer and the TA3 noticing that the TA3 feels like it comes off the face more on line than my current gamer. On longer putts I have not been able to tell too much of a difference as of yet. Another weird thing, due to the smallness of the TA3 putter face I find that I am hitting the center of my MLA much more often than before, weird tidbit but I think the TA3 is helping the ball striking in my putting.

Vast majority of the time I will walk using a push cart. The only time I'll pay for a cart on the course is if it is extremely hot or there are thunderstorms in the area and we might be called back. My biggest concern was finding the time to play enough and be an active participant in the forum the entire summer. Luckily my work boss and real boss (wife) are extremely generous. 3 wood. It's been an absolute beast for me on the tee box and the fairway. Haven't tried it too much from the rough yet. I have a Bushnell Tour V4 rangefinder and a Garmin Approach G3 GPS (plus Arccos on my phone). If I'm playing a round at my home course I don't even bother starting up the GPS. I know all of the layup distances and only need the rangefinder to get the exact pin locations. If it's a new course the GPS is probably more beneficial. The F9 irons are long, high, and straight. They are harder to shape around trees and other obstructions, but I'll take that trade-off knowing most of my shots will be online. Haven't noticed any loss in spin around the greens. My favorite shot with the new irons is a half or 3/4 swing Pitching Wedge that bounces once and stops on a dime.3 points
