I love hoofers and have only ever used 4-ways. The key is that you only put 3 clubs in each slot and the rest of the clubs go into the big mouth bottom slot. I have never had club binding issues when I use that system. Putter in the top slot works best for me FWIW. However, the bennington 9-lite is the best bag I have ever used as @pooley7 brought up. No club chatter! I did a review a long time ago.

I've been a little out of the loop so maybe I missed the thread on here, but why the hate for NL? I've only seen their stuff, never hit any of it. Sorry if this is a diversion of the thread, but I imagine your thoughts would ultimately help Sub70's case.

As an organic chemist, carbon putters just speak to me Love the look of the kid model!

Love the screen name. I played The Highlands once when I was in St Louis. Was a fun little course actually.

The Toulon has an aluminum face as opposed to steel, might be responsible for the sound difference to traditional putters. When you say some golf balls, do you mean urethane versus serlyn cover?

Thanks! Definitely looking forward to testing it out. I am a little worried it might be a little too small/narrow. Was a little concerned about the 140cc being too big and too heavy. Testers anxiety.

Nice to see you rolling the Indy! Have to say I love the contrast between the face and the back portion. Makes it look like you have a blade putter at the same time as a mallet. I'll be giving that same grip a whirl too so we shall see how she rolls.

Seems to be a good representation of Iowa folks in this thread!

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Probably since I was about 10. Went with my dad a few times and just got hooked. I took about 10 years off for school. Trying to play as much as possible but I have a young family which cuts into it. I'm lucky if I can play once a week (couple times a month in the summer is the norm) I'm a solid low 80's player but I can usually sneak a few 70's rounds into the mix. What do you love about golf? I like that it's a hard game with the constant pursuit of perfection. I love the feeling when you hit that one perfectly pure shot that hangs in the air all the way to the target. It's what drives me to hit 100 more shots just to get that one feeling back. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I've been around a while, though I'm not as active on here as some folks. Came originally to learn more about clubs and never left. I was definitely one of those "standard loft" guys when I first started. It's interesting how much you pick up reading around on here. Where are you from? What is your home course? Canadian, born and raised. Boston for grad school. Madison for bit. Now Ames. I play a variety of courses in the area. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? There are a bunch of great tracks in my area that I think punch above their weight in terms of quality golf. You can play courses with a lot of elevation changes and some that are pure links. Des Moines also has some great courses as well. What do you do for a living? How’d you pick your user name? I can kind of answer both of these. I panicked when trying to come up with a user name. I'm a chemist. We swing clubs. Alliteration is always fun = chemclub.

I'm definitely giving the true originals a try this spring. I thought about holding off and maybe going for the new Majors, but after thinking it over the originals are probably a better bet for my first pair of trues.

Those CB 57's are absolute stunners! I was close to getting them but I preferred the look of the PP9003SN at address - something about the high toe just spoke to me. Noticed you made nice bag choice too!

how come you can't buy the hat off their website?

They are raw steel so they should get a nice dark rusty patina all over them - which I love the look and feel of. Some guys oil them but I prefer the tarnished look. @GolfSub70, What are the holes for on the back of the wedge? Just for looks or did you guys have a plan for them?
