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

[Rob Person]

I snagged up a titleist 910 3h and 4h off ebay, with shafts and covers, for what I considered a good deal ($43 each+shipping). I already have the 910D and 910f 3 wood. Needed something to fill the long fairway gap , and never hit a hybrid before, so should be interesting and hopefully works for me!

 

[StrokerAce]

joined team #graphiteshaft and team #steelfiber today...

Coming my way soon:  Titleist 718 AP2 Iron Set 5-PW GW Aerotech SteelFiber i95

looking forward to no more elbow pain

Collected this guy yesterday. Its a brush with a built in spray and a strong magnet so you can take it off your bag.

I had one and even though the magnet is super strong it detached and I lost it on the course somewhere...

recently got the mini version (much harder to snag on something) and it's great. you have to apply your own water but really like the size of it.

[Bob Jerabek]

I now have the Mizuno Pro 245 5-p.  Put the KBS PGI 70’S in them.  Looking good.

[ILMgolfnut]

Somebody beat my eBay bid on the DF 2.1 putter. I topped them, for now, but I'm not going to go much higher. It's creeping toward no longer a bargain. Or not enough of one.

Great mail day today! My TaylorMade BRNI Mini Copper that I was fit for last week came in and I already went to the range to hit it! I love this club and can’t wait to see how it helps my game on the course! 
 

So far, my dispersion laterally is half that of my driver and I’m still carrying 270 on average and getting another 10-20 yards of roll. At that clip my driver may end up all the way out of my bag!

haha I will try to get that done today as well! I couldn’t wait any longer for these though haha!

I got my Ebay find this week! I meant to post same day but we’ve been BUSY. I am beyond happy with it. It looks BRAND NEW so $150 was a total steal

We went to the range so i got to use it and it feels good! I didn’t see a huge increase in my distance but the ball flies significantly straighter than it did before. My favorite part is how it actually sounds like a golf club compared to my current aluminum bat sounding driver. We are going to play a round tomorrow so I’m excited to see how it performs!

The mini driver concept is new to me. I'm guessing that it's something between a big dog and a 3-wood, more useful off the deck and maybe a little straighter than the dog, but longer flight than a 3-wood. Is that about right?

That’s correct. It’s more accurate and easier to manipulate right/left than a driver while maintaining better distance than 3W. I can only hit a draw with 3W and my carry is 250ish. With the mini I’m sitting at 270 carry and able to move it both ways. I have a high swing speed so driver really doesn’t suit every hole and every course well for me so I end up hitting 3/4i off the tee a lot. Hopefully this allows me more opportunities to have a wedge into a par 4. 
 

This is for you @RaRa Golf! The side by side photo comparison (I may post some number comparison later on as well for those interested- I can tell you the carry numbers aren’t close haha):

Afterreading your comments after testing the AI smoke woods and irons ,I went and tried the 3,5 woods and the AI smoke irons 5 thru SW .  They really worked better for me being a old man of 85. Thanks to you guys i am enjoying the golf ball again.

The Ghost Golf 7-way, Anyday Maverick Black Ops bag with the MGS Forum logo on the ball pocket arrived yesterday. I am really impressed with the quality of the bag. Just looking at you would think it wasn't going to hold a lot. But that bag is sneaky spacious. The two valuables pockets are well lined as the pocket for the range finder. The range finder pocket though is not large enough to hold my Shot Scope Pro LX+ in the case but given how nice the pocket is and the magnetic "lid" holds the range finder very securely. The logo on the ball pocket turned out great. The bag included both a double a strap and a single strap. I'm a pushcart user so the single will be the strap of choice for me. I also like that the stand legs can be secured when put on a cart. The bag came with some little items. Zipper pulls, a ball marking tool that snaps onto the bag, a bag tag and permanent marker. There is a Velcro strap that holds the towel holder ring that is for holding your glove. It seems small but I will withhold further judgement until I get the bag out for a few rounds. 

After receiving the bag, I ordered the Cart Strap Sleeve. Ghost kindly sent me $10 coupon after I ordered my bag, so I put it to use. I may order one of their utility pouches. I'm currently using the one that was with my Ping bag.

I can't wait to get a round in with it. Now if the weather will only cooperate.

The way the crown spills over onto the face of the original Burner is so aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It looks like it's made out of glass or something.

Make sure you post your feedback in the Official testing thread.  All the testers got the 14-way and it would be nice to have someone contribute info about the 7 way bag.

I wonder how much bigger the LX+  case is than the LX.  I am able to fit mine with the case in the pocket.  

[GolfSpy_APH]

I broke and finally ordered a LINK.1

Hard to believe that back in the day that Burner driver was the state of the art!  The head was so tiny!  Still like that shaft color.  Too bad the New mini can’t paint the shaft that way.

Nike Jordan tour glove. Ok I'm a fan and a sneaker head.

The stock shaft is designed to look very similar to the old shaft. It’s a custom designed UST ProForce V2 and I wanted to put that into it but it just wasn’t a good fit for me.

I went the same color, only in the 14 way. Love it and I'm putting it to work!

These are just some awesome looking bags!

[Berg Ryman]

Well, took advantage of some coupons and just ordered my first ever laser rangefinder, and also picked up a couple of hats to go along with my new polos for the MGS outing.

Oh, and as a tease for y'all following along the AI Smoke thread, I may have found a pretty agreeable ball.

Ordered a pair of Asics golf shoes through my rep! The Pro M I have are awesome, so I’m excited to get another pair!

I think I have been using mine wrong. It says just add water but I put rum in mine and just take a squirt everytime I chunked a shot.

Great idea. I’ll try it next time.

This is what happens when you're bored and the rep for the manufacturer tells you they will customize your order. So you think of what will make your playing partners call you an idiot and you come up with yellow pirate balls.
