What Have You Bought Lately? (CHA - Club Ho's Anonymous)

[Schenectady Putter]

After much research, I bought the Shot Scope V5. The next day I see a$70 discount on the Adam Young web site. Timing, not so good. I'm still excited over the new purchase. Even at $249.00!

[HeathS16]

Just took advantage of the 2 wedge and polo offer from Sub70! Got 2 TA III Forged black wedges, in 54 and 58 degrees.  They are AWESOME! 

[fozcycle]

Ordered two Evnroll Gravity Grips for my putter stash….

Was so tempted to jump on the Sub70 wedges - have heard great things but my Jaws wedges are still pretty fresh. Maybe next year!

Nice!! I missed out on the free polo deal when I ordered my JBs, I was just a bit too early with my orders. Still love the JBs though!

Nothing special, grabbed a box of Tour X's from Dick's and while browsing Wal-Mart found the last box of Pro Drips that I couldn't just leave behind all alone there in that madhouse!

I’ve found that using lost golf balls or found golf balls you can get them for a pretty good deal and the 4A is usually pretty solid quality 

I used to get boxes of Callaway CS X LS tru track for a ridiculous price until they stopped making them! I switched over to Srixon Z-Stars & the XVs which I get personalized for a even more ridiculous price. I don't have to hunt for lost balls or bargain shop anymore. Between mainly Srixon with some Callaway and Titleist, I got atleast 12 plus boxes of balls now.

That is a nice looking headcover! I think the Golf Gods will understand. If it protects your club and looks good in the bag I say go for it. 

Well I went with it and it looks pretty good! Golf gods gave me mixed signals though! Slam dunked a chip over water, nothing but bottom of the cup, flag stick didnt even move from 40yd out. Craziest shot ive ever made, on the 2nd hole. BUT we lost the scramble with the driver getting a little squirlly the last 4 holes.

Picked up this 1967 Dale head Anser in a local charity shop for £2! 
 

I’ve cleaned it up, regripped it, and it going to a friend for his 50th 

[FirthofFore]

Have also just sold my 2019 P790’s to fund these beauties!

Srixon ZX5/7 combo 4-PW with a pair of Callaway MD5 JAWS wedges. The irons are in good shape and the wedges are new

paid £400 for the set…

These are my Vice found collection. 

@Rob Person I've found a couple of those Vice Drip golf balls and like them.  Vice is not afraid to go outside the traditional color designs.

Have you looked into golfballnut too?

Those are crazy cool looking! I'd have a very hard time tracking/finding them!

These are my Vice found collection. 

The 2 on the bottom right are what I call Specials

I found one of those gold balls - probably in the middle of the fairway! - I know I wear glasses but I don't know how you can play that ball.

Ditto! At that price it was really hard to control myself and I always have the JAWS that I got last year.

They’re pretty solid. I’ve stocked up on some as my backyard practice balls. I like them enough that I would play them if my stash of TP5x balls continue to be claimed by the AZ desert and water

I found a Halloween orange vice ball yesterday 

[tdroma98]

@Rob Person I found a black Vice Golf Ball.  It is pretty cool.  Unlike the Volvik which is matted, the Vice is glossy, as is the gold ball. 

Not sure you can see it too well.

My wife ended up getting me some of these a couple years ago as a present. I keep a sleeve in my bag and will occasionally pull one out on par 3s, just in the off chance I hit a HIO.

Well after two failed attempts tp purchase a Lag Shot 7i, another member messaged me and offered up his .. so now I do actually have one!

I'd originally thought these were just one more heavily advertised training aid gimmick also promoted by pros on Insta to boost their income.

Well... after a few swipes with it that attitude has changed and I do believe - over time .. a whole lotta time - this is gonna help me with my iron striking. 

I'm not a huge fan of training aids but I think the Lagshot works well if you have tempo problems like me

Just a little update on my Star Wars head covers for those that were interested. This is what they look like in the bag. Have left the driver cover off at the moment

In just over the past few months, I've bought and used the new Cleveland RTX 6 wedges (48, 54, & 60). Considering how I've used the Cleveland RTX 4's for over 4 years, I am very familiar with the brand and the feel that these clubs provide. 

I've always taken good care of my clubs and I've always ensured my grooves are completely clean, so when I used the RTX 6's, I was thrilled to see the increase in spin, responsiveness, and bite I got out of the wedges both around the green and in my approach shots. 

In regards to the sweet spot on the club face, I've found it to be about a bit bigger and more consistent between shots. I don't seem to get the massive yardage inconsistencies that I used to get with the RTX 4's, but that could easily be attributed to the fact that I've used them quite a lot for the past 3 years and the wear on the club face, which there is a decent bit. 

Overall, I've thoroughly enjoyed these new Cleveland RTX 6's and I look forward to seeing how they play this summer.

I just added the new Ping S159 wedges to the bag. I’m excited to check out the Hydropearl coating and get them working around the green.

I was dumb and forgot to do the Bridgestone mindset sampling survey before it closed so I picked up some BX when I was at Golf Galaxy the other day. I’ve always like Bridgestone balls so I’m excited to see how these do 

There will be, I believe, 3 more opportunities for the Bridgestone mindset sampling. So you should still get a chance to partake.

Scratched a couple itches today

This matches the 54 & 58 that I picked up last month and replaces an SM-8 that was worn out. 

And I absolutely did not need this, but y’all know how this goes…

Early returns, but this is fun to hit and I’m anxious to see how it fits into the bag

That headcover really puts the BRNR over the edge in my book.  I have no idea how I'd use it either, but it sure looks nice!

The Ping wedges are so clean looking!  I looked at those before settling on the Vokeys.

As an owner of the 23 BRNR you’ve made a great choice and I find that it is fit nicely when my Radspeed was being stubborn. I have it on the upright side of the sleeve but lofted up to 13.5 and did it incredibly easy to hit baby fades with and it’s just cool

Picked up a pair of FJ Fuel after I couldn’t get a pair of traditions, unreal grip and were on sale for $100 from last season. Just also picked up a pair of Nike Lunar Command brand new on marketplace for $40. Haven’t used them yet but they seem promising!
