  1. I got new irons and spent time working out the new yardages. Pretty much my set AW is now the PW from my old set. Got 3 wedges, another gap that was 10-15 yards different, only 2 degree difference due to how hot my irons are compared to my wedges. A wedge for around the greens, and a wedge with a grind to help me in thick lies and fluffy bunkers. The set AW is 48, and my wedge set up is 50F, 54S, 58K (Vokeys). Then with my 6 iron distance, worked out my gapping to my driver. So I ended up with a hybrid, 7 wood and 5 wood. Once you know your irons distances the rest will fall in place.
  2. I found the PING G425's were the best in terms of dispersion and how easy they are off the deck. Lacked a little distance, but I was looking for accuracy over distance.
  3. I had to adjust my wedges to my new irons. The t300 lofts are crazy. My PW is now 43* and I have a set GW at 48* (essential my new PW). My wedge set up is 50*, 54* and 58* now. The reason for the 2* loft change from my 48* t300 wedge to my 50* Vokey wedge is the t300's are super hot and both the 48* and 50* are mainly full swing shots, so my gapping works better with these lofts. The 54* is my versatile 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 shots from 70 yards and in, and my 58 is a K grind mainly for fluffy bunkers and rough around the greens. So including the PW I have ended up with 5 wedges. Ditched the 5 iron in my set and have a 5 and 7 wood, and a hybrid instead of my 5 iron now.
  4. Changed the shaft and grip, back in the bag
  5. I noticed you have the Callaway SuperHybrid. How to you find it? Can you swing it like a hybrid or do you need a sweeping action like a fairway wood? I hardly use my 3 wood, and am not the best off the deck with it either. I was going to replace it with a 2 or 3 hybrid, but saw the Super hybrid and it intrigued me as a 3 wood replacement. Just curious of your thoughts.
  6. I just switched from a GBB EPIC to a PING G425 Max and noticed a massive difference. I hit way more fairways and the difference between a good strike and a bad strike with the PING is minimal. The GBB EPIC though, majority of my bad strikes were OB. I am a high a high handicap player too, and hitting fairways are more important to me. Make sure you get a good hybrid you can flush, and that can make up any distance you may get with another driver on those longer holes.
  7. I don't hit the ball very far so I use the 3 wood on the long 200 yard par 3's, gets me pretty close each time. Always handy to have, especially if your driver isn't working that day, you can always switch it with the 3W for more consistency.
  8. My PW is 44* and I have a 50, 56 and 60 wedge set. I am thinking of switching my 56 to a 54. My 44 and 50 are full shots and my 56 and 60 are my half and full swing clubs (Still learning my full swing 60 shots). If you have some of them that you do a full swing on and hit consistent distances, and some other wedges are more of a feel half swing club, then I say use all 5. What ever gets you the required results.
  9. I would do it through eBay or get his PayPal and do it through Goods and Services. I wouldn't risk it
  10. I wait until TGW or World wide golf shops has a sale on (email alerts). I normally buy Nike polo's, they are always bringing out new stuff so the old shirts are always on sale, sometimes $70-80 shirts for $35-40
  11. I purchased the Nike Air Hybrid bag and I love it. It is a tad heavy but it's like a cart bag with a stand, it also has the options to easily un-clip the straps, I cart a lot so it was a no brainier for me. I have also walked it on a short par 3 course and the straps felt great. I got the other model for my wife, the Nike Air sport, and that feels a lot lighter and the perfect one for walking.
  12. Very interesting, I appreciate your response. I will look into Aimpoint Express
  13. Haha good to know. So if I get one, maybe just use it when I am in my group of 4 mates
  14. Is it worth getting a green book for the few courses I play. They are public courses, do the greens change that much on public courses?
