Popular Post hckymeyer 6,504 Posted March 11, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2015 As a group we buy/sell/trade a lot of gear on a regular basis, time to show it off. So what have you bought lately? I picked up a Carnahan St. John's putter in the bargain bin at 2ndSwing for $8. Took it home and reshafted/gripped it and put in some new paintfill. Next up is the possible replacement for my SLDR. I really wanted it to be a G30 LS, but the numbers just weren't there. So hit this bad boy and spin dropped almost 900rpm and ball flight straightened out. I'll have to get it on the course for a side by side comparison before I determine if it makes a spot in the bag. 15 Quote Driver: SLDR w/ Fujikura Ventus Black 3w: '16 M2 hl w/ Diamana D+ 82 5w: Launcher HB w/ HZRDUS Yellow Hybrid: 22 deg.

Severtheties 836 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 mmmmm that D3 is pretty. I'm really eyeing one of those too. I hit the G30 LS well but I loved the way that club felt. Very nice job with the paint fill on the putter. Looks almost new. 3 Quote Driver - Tour Edge Exotics XCG 7 Beta w/ Paderson shaft 44" Fairway Metal - Vapor Fly 15* w/ Mitsubishi Tensei CK Blue 65F 43" Irons - SLDR 4i-pw w/ KBS Tour C-Taper 90S Wedges - 54* and 58* Digger grind Putter - 2015 GoLo 3 33" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbil8802 801 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I went and and got fit for a driver for the first time this past weekend. Ended up going with the Mizuno JPX 850. Picked up about 15 yards of carry over my G25 by being able to dial in the spin and launch numbers. Based on my range session today, I'm extremely excited about it. Consistently hitting baby draws with it. Also picked up the JPX 850 3W as well as 19* and 23* JPX Fli Hi hybrids with Nippon N.S. Pro 1150 shafts at 2* up to match my irons. Really excited for this season. 3 Quote Driver - M1 9.5* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Fairway - M1 5W 19* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Hybrids - G25 4H 23* Irons - JPX 850 Forged 4-PW w/ Nippon N.S.

BIG STU 8,646 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 3 new Wishon PCF wedges but a friend of mine gave me 2 older (non conforming) rusty Cleveland 588s. Last week I found a all original Bullseye and Spalding T P Mills putters in the scrap pile.

TIBA_Putt - Kyle 139 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 This is my most recent buy. Beyond that, my bag has remained unchanged for probly a couple years now, except replacing a wedge that was worn down. But replaced with the same thing, so that doesn't really count. 4 Quote TIBA Putt - Discover your best stroke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_divots 247 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ping called me yesterday to confirm my specs on the re-shaft of my S-55's with Steelfiber 110 stiff. Supposed to be back to me by Tuesday of next week. Pretty excited to try those when I get the chance. 1 Quote "Glute Activator" *Please accept my contributions of participation and intellectual property sharing as substitute for monetary renumeration.

PlaidJacket 7,734 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm going to get out in my garage this spring and reclaim all the room I have there. I want to do like RookieBlue and some other guys and start acquiring some basic club repair tools, etc. As for new equipment? I'll be fitted for and buying a new driver and probably a FW wood and hybrid on the 27th. Pretty excited.

I'll be interested to see how it does once the courses start to firm up. I've been playing them for about a week now. Temps getting into the 60-70 range. When I first put it into play, the distance was good, but I didn't notice much spin on the green. Then, the courses started plugging the greens and turned the water on, and they are working just like I remember the PV1's. I was beginning to wonder if I bought 2 dozen balls that I don't like playing. I think they will be just fine. 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus no else plays them so that's a bonus. It was hard to judge the spin because the greens were so wet and slow. 2 Quote Driver - M1 9.5* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Fairway - M1 5W 19* w/ Aldila Rogue Silver 70X Hybrids - G25 4H 23* Irons - JPX 850 Forged 4-PW w/ Nippon N.S.

I'm taking a week off from playing this weekend to redo my garage... To build a new bench to build on and arrange a spot for the bending machine and stand, lol . Now I've gotta decide if I want to buy another JET grinder with multi-tool to replace the one I stupidly got rid of or to replace the swingweight scale with a better one. 3 Quote In The BagDriver: TaylorMade M2 (2017) w/ Project X T1100 HZRDUS Handcrafted 65x Strong 3 wood: Taylormade M1 15* w/ ProjectX T1100 HZRDUS handcrafted 75x3 Hybrid: Adams PRO 18* w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"4 Hybrid: Adams PRO 20* (bent to 21*) w/ KBS Tour Hybrid S flex tipped 1/2"4-AW: TaylorMade P770 w/ Dynamic Gold Tour Issue Black Onyx S400 SW: 56* Scratch Tour Dept(CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold SpinnerLW: 60* Scratch Tour Department (CC grooves) w/ Dynamic Gold SpinnerXW: 64* Cally XForged Vintage w/ DG X100 8 iron tiger steppedPutter: Nike Method Prototype 006 at 34"Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up.
