Added a Titleist U500 to replace my 3 wood, installed Oban Kiyoshi Purple Tour Reserve shafts in them. Got in my SIM Driver a put an Oban Kiyoshi Tour Limited in it.

Looks so good. I'm going to be getting another putter around father's day with JJ and boy #2's initials stamped on it. Bettinardi was one of the brands I'm considering 

Have to make sure the bumpers are tall enough that the stamping will look good, this one is a little too thin to do too much with. The Bettinardi Anser styles are nice for bumper stamping.

[WITB lmh3]

Replaced the Spider X with the SS28 from Bettinardi.

[Two Baggers]

I have three sets that I have used in the last year, I will be taking one set to our vacation house to leave there, it makes it easier than having to load my clubs in the car with the kids and all of their stuff. Also thinking of leaving the third set at my in laws' home to make it easy to sneak out with my father in law when we visit them.

[Utility/Driving Irons]

I have the Titleist U 500 in the 3 and 4 irons, I have used the Callaway Apex Utility as well.

Are you stripping the paint out or just painting over what’s in there already?


Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

I take the original paint out, use some acetone and let it sit for a few minutes to loosen it up. Then use Sharpie paint pen to apply the new paint.

[WITB lmh3]

These just arrived, going to swap out the 3 utility and the hybrid depending on the course.

[WITB lmh3]

Yeah, I have three sets of stamped irons sitting around. Just need to find a blade player with the same initials and I could get rid of some.

[WITB lmh3]

Made a few changes, went with Titleist 620 MB 5-9, and Vokey wedges with lofts adjusted to 47*, 51*, 55* and 59*. Oban CT 125 in the 5 iron to 47* wedge and Shimada Tour Wedge Black in the 51*, 55*, and 59*

Also reshafted the driver, 3 Wood, and Hybrid with Oban Tour Limited, V430 Prototype, and Kiyoshi Purple Tour Reserve. Waiting on a 3 and 4 U500 as well, backordered until November. Put the Spider X navy and white in as well.

[How much change in your bag this season?]

I replaced my whole bag early this season and kept it fairly consistent, changed shafts in the woods back to the Oban shafts I played previously and switched out wedges. 

 

That being said, I have a new set of Titleist irons and utility irons on order.

[What equipment are you thinking about?]

I am considering the Oban CT 125 shafts for my new set of Titleist 620 MB Irons, I ordered them with Project X LZ that I had in my Srixon set but testing the CT 115 piqued my interest in the 125's.

[jlukes WITB 2019]

Bold move on the contract, I would have tried to sneak the ability to replace wedges in there just due to wear and tear on the grooves.

You support the shaft or the head?  This is from a local fitter.

3/4/2019 – We have currently removed all of the Taylormade M5 Driver heads from our fitting selections, due to a universally inherent cracking problem on the composite portion on the sole of the club. These WILL NOT be available to hit until there’s a resolution to this problem and we have full confidence in the new product brought forward. We apologize for this inconvenience. Thank you, Frank

Yes, there was a small piece of the composite on the bottom that extended over the weight track. It has been corrected, they simply made the composite flush to the weight track, not sure why they wouldn't do that from the beginning.

[What equipment are you thinking about?]

I'm thinking of ordering some Accra shafts for the M5 driver and M6 fairway and hybrid that I am testing.

[What/How Did You Practice Today?]

Got back to the range to work on my full swing after my wrist surgery, been about six weeks since the procedure and I am finally able to take full swings without much discomfort. Hoping to take the wife out for a chip and putt round tomorrow.

[Tell me your Top 10 courses played!]

I've been fortunate enough to play several great golf courses.

 

1. Pine Valley

2. Aronimink

3. Royal County Down

4. Merion

5. St. Andrews

6. TPC Jasna Polana

7. Pinehurst #2

8. Bethpage Black

9. Torrey Pines South

10. Kilmarlic

[WITB lmh3]

Just when I thought the top of the bag was settled, going to have a good testing session when my wrist heals. 

[Srixon Drivers?]

The Z785 made my top 3 for the season, the Ping just beat it out, but I would probably have been just as pleased with the Srixon.

[Matte or glossy]

I've always had a gloss finish on woods up until this season with the G410 woods. I have quickly converted to being a fan of the low glare finish. I've noticed that the lack of reflection let's me focus more on the ball (I just now realize how bad my ADD is that the reflections of light and trees caught my attention before).

[Injury Thread]

Two weeks removed from arthroscopic surgery on my wrist to fix the TFCC, follow up tomorrow hopefully gives me the all clear to start some chipping. Going to put off the four trigger finger releases until winter.

[WITB lmh3]

Finally got the last few pieces. G410 LST 3 Wood and G410 Hybrid plus a new bag.

[WITB lmh3]

For the first time in almost 10 years, I do not have an all Callaway bag, still waiting on the G410 LST 3 wood, G410 hybrid and a MD4 50* wedge, also the bag is temporary until I get my Ping bag.

[Talk to me, Goose! What’s gonna be YOUR ball for 2019???]

I'm going to play the Srixon Z Star XV, I have a few sleeves of the Z Star that I have been using while it is cold out, but I door Trackman numbers show the XV to be the better performer in warmer temperatures.l

[Your Top Training Aids]

I am really happy with the Super Speed System, been using it for two weeks and have noticed a three mile an hour increase in club head speed. Indirect result has been knocking some of the rust off from the winter and getting my shoulder turn back to where it should be.

[What equipment are you thinking about?]

Close to ordering a Srixon combo set Z785 3 and 4 iron, Z Forged 5-PW with Project X LZ shafts.
