  1. Love the Quad Tour Tapered on my Squareback 1.5, really helps me keep my hands in a consistent position and have the putter square up to the ball. If I had a mallet with less toe hang I'd put a Quad Tour Non-Tapered on it in a heartbeat (over a Lamkin sink fit PU or Superstroke pistol for example).
  2. I carry 4 in the bag all the time - PW (44) and GW (49) for full shots, SW (54) and LW (59) for anything closer than 80 yds - depending what trouble is between my ball and the green and how much room I have to land it.
  3. I've tried numerous putters over the years, gamed an inexpensive Wilson Sam Snead blade then an original Zebra mallet before going with a Ping Sigma 2 Tyne 4. Lately I've been keen on using heavier wide blades with a good amount of toe hang and picked up a used Scotty Cameron Squareback 1.5. With a Garsen Quad Tour grip and some heavier weights (2 x 35 g for head weight of ~ 400g!) I'm very happy and putting consistently. The only challenge now might be the expansion to the Mizuno OMOI line if they have a nice wide blade or mid-mallet around 380-400 g - tried the OMOI Type III and it was lovely but not quite as good under 10 ft as my Squareback...
  4. I've got a small variety: Driver, 3 Wood, 3 and 4 Hybrid - Golf Pride Tour Velvet Plus4 Midsize Irons and Wedges - Golf Pride MCC Plus4 Blue Midsize Putters - Scotty Matador Medium Really liked the switch to Plus4 midsize from standard (I've got fairly big hands)
  5. I carry four, PW (44 degree) for anything between 130 and 115 yds out, GW (49 deg) for shots from 95-115 yds out, SW (55 deg) for anything between 95 and 70 yds and then my LW (60 deg) for anything closer. I use my SW around the green too, just enough roll and check unless I'm in a tight spot when I'll use my LW.
  6. Good morning, new to the forum but been checking out MyGolfSpy content for past couple years: How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Started playing in Suffolk, UK when I was 15 and played a ton, got down to a handicap of 11 then University/life took over followed by a move from the UK to Canada. Been getting back into the game in last couple years (thanks COVID) and now I'm usually scoring in the mid 80's, flirt with breaking 80 on a very good day. Just wish I could drive it in my mid-40's like I did as a teenager! What do you love about golf? Taking a break from everything else going on, hanging out with friends, bashing the crap out of balls at the range when necessary and sometimes just practicing my short game on a sunny day. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Found the site via google searches for equipment reviews a couple years ago when I decided it was time to update my 25 year old clubs (Ben Sayers M2i irons/wedges, Mizuno T-Zoid Driver and 3 Wood). As far as a know I don't know any other Spies! Where are you from? What is your home course? Originally from Suffolk, UK but now reside near Kingston in Ontario, Canada, play a number of courses in the area but mostly Rivendell Golf Club or Loyalist Golf and Country Club. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best: Plenty of courses with specials if you book fairly last minute, easy to walk, some beautiful and reasonably priced courses. Worst: Canadian Winter, lightning delays in the summer, mosquitoes/deer flies (golf is so fun right?) What do you do for a living? I work for the Ministry of Health, supporting publicly funded drug programs. How’d you pick your user name? It's been my gamer tag on PlayStation network for many years - lyrics from Kashmir by Led Zeppelin.
