Same build as the T200 3- and 4-irons that have been treating me well -- Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95X shaft. Goal was to swap out the 3w (really struggling with FW woods lately...). The T200 3i is 20°, and my options were 16° or 18° in U505, or 17° T200 - since it's a 3w replacement that's mostly going to be used off the tee anyway, 16° felt like the right play. Also picked up a handful of Golf Pride CPX grips -- my SuperSpeed grips started tearing up my hands, so wanted something soft for that, and just added a couple extra because I had some money left on a gift card. Used them for one session, and they are niiice, so I threw one on the U505 too. Maybe this will finally be the grip that gets me off the MCC (a few dollars cheaper than MCC too). That iron looks sooooo good. sirchunksalot, ChiefMikeOfficer and cksurfdude 3 Quote PING G400 LST Mitsubishi Tensei White 60X TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100 L.A.B.

Aside from the performance benefits, graphite iron shafts have been a lifesaver for minor injuries or tendonitis from over use. I have to think it would help younger players avoid those types of injuries and for older players that know the body doesn't recover like it did in our youth, it is a no brainer. Unfortunately steel iron shafts have become almost as expensive as graphite or so close in cost the difference is negligible. JohnSmalls, ole gray, cnosil and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: Qi10 10.5* ...

Popular Post azstu324 Posted July 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2022 So I didn't necessarily "buy" these but I did just recently get them. HUGE thanks to Cobra/Puma. I did own (still do) the predecessor to these. I received them as a gift a while back. Love these shoes! Well after about 6 or so months, the left shoe developed a tear in the heel. Last week I decided to email Cobra just for kicks. I sent them pics of the tear and let them know that I didn't have a receipt due to them being a gift. I also let them know that if they couldn't do anything about it I'd totally understand. Well being as awesome as they are, they sent me the updated shoe and told me to keep the other pair. Safe to say my shoe loyalties definitely lie with Puma. New kicks Previous are in the middle. They're practically new except for the tear which I was also able to find an adhesive patch for.

She’s talking about playing more (and walking) with me this year… Great cart. I have probably 1,000+ miles on it over four seasons and it's finally just starting to have a few minor issues. There's a support wire/cable that keeps the two wheel arms from opening beyond where they should and it finally snapped this year. Been meaning to fix it but it keeps on rolling. Definitely recommend some dry silicone lubricant on some of the moving parts (at least the ones you don't touch), and also keep the screws tight on the bag holders.

I think it is all about confidence. I am not going to hit a chipper any different than I will hit my 9 iron as well as preferring more options with different clubs depending on my lie and pin location. But I play with plenty of gofers that have little confidence in their chipping and pitching. While most are higher index players I have played with low index players that admit chipping is the weakest part of their game. ... It is hard to underestimate the confidence of a club designed for the sole purpose of chipping as opposed to a 9 iron that is built for full shots and I think that can allow any player to have a different approach. Even if the different approach would work with their 9 iron if executed in an identical way, they still may feel like "this chipper will make me a better chipper" and that is worth the price alone imo. I have already said even though I don't think it would ever make it into my bag, I would love to play a round or two with one just to see if my results are any different.

I have already said even though I don;t think it would ever make it into my bag, I would love to play a round or two with one just to see if my results are any different. Jlukes is a much better golfer than me, but I will give my opinion why i think the chipper will be a good fit for myself (besides the fact i like buying clubs). I chip like crap. The closer i get to the green, the worse it gets. I can execute ok sometimes with a high lofted wedge, but i know that my chances are better with a lower lofted club so i almost always try to do a putting style chip. I've been using a 5 hybrid quite a bit for chipping, but will also chip with anything from a 5 iron to a PW, but putting style. What I don't like about the putt chip is it gets the heel very off the ground. with the toe down, my chips tend to come out to the right of my intended line, i think primarily because my eyes get tricked by where the clubface is actually aiming when the heel is so much off the ground. sometimes it works well, but sometimes i aim really poorly. but my distance control is pretty good with this method. also, given my height and proportions, besides the putt-style chip, the best club i have chipped with is a 34" lob wedge. works pretty well for chips, but i don't like that length for anything more than a chip. so this Ping Chipr will be like having a 9 iron that is more upright and plays 34.5" (i ordered it -0.5").

Rickp Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I didn’t want to jump in on this and be negative. I did pickup a chipper maybe 15 years ago. I was surprised I found one LH. Used it for a better part of a year. I really didn’t care for it, no better results than my 8 or 9 iron. I think it’s one of those personal decision clubs. Saying this we do have a couple of players here who play them and lovem. cksurfdude, chisag, MattF and 2 others 5 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
