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

[Jmikecpa]

If it rips then so be it, it was cheap. Can't expect it to hold up against a Titleist glove.

I bought them full boat and at $17 a glove I did considering that is in the same price range as the Titleist gloves that I normally use.  For $6 I would have bought several of them and hoped I got a bad batch.

Unfortunately there was only one glove in my size there so I bought it, unless my hand grew a size overnight I will just have this one glove.

Saw the thread about the Nike vapor woods being on sale. Naturally went to Dicks and hit the vapor fly and vapor fly pro both in stiff. Ended up buying the vapor fly after I traded in a couple old wedges and a 3 wood. Only paid $65. Considerably longer and much better feel than my SLDR. Carried a few over 290 on the monitor and those d ended up over 310. I've never had those numbers on a monitor before. Spin was between 1900-2000. Can't wait to get it on the course/rang

Trying to pick up an Adams Red 23° 4 hybrid. Hoping that it will reduce the draw/hook that I normally hit with hybrids.

Have you tried any other "players" hybrids, like the Callaway Apex, Titliest 916 or whatever the current Srixon hybrid (I forgot the codename for it) is? 

 

I'm currently on the look out for a new fairway wood, either Callaway XR (2015) or Taylormade M2.

Haven't tried those. Used to play 913 hybrids that weren't too bad with the adjustability. Everything else I've tried was a hook machine. I'be been looking at either the M1 hybrid or Adams Red for the ability to put the 25g weight in the toe. The Red is the substantially cheaper option.

[mdumble21]

Everything M-related is expensive!! I've been ogling an M1 for the past 6 months, and the lowest price I've seen is AUD$650! Might get a new Nike Vapor driver instead.

 

With any other club in the bag, I would test out various hybrids to find the best one for you. Hybrids are iron-substitutes, so I would also consider a Mizuno hybrid with an X-Stiff/stiffer/heavier shaft in it, so that it matches up with your irons - Mizuno makes a decent hybrid. 

 

Another option would be to re-shaft your current hybrid - either with a stiffer or heavier shaft to help minimise draw/hook potential. For example, my hybrid has a Kurokage Stiff shaft with 80g, so it's quite a heavy and stiff shaft.

A little birthday present for myself, 'cause I'm worth it dammit

Have you tried the Wilson Staff FG Tour M3 driver?

 

My buddy has one and he plays at 6.5......He has the Driver, 3W & 3H.......

Was that for me?  I never tried that one, I did try the WS D200 and was not a fan.......hit a bunch at a demo days, and had the best results w/ M1

[jbil8802]

Put a bid in for $45 on a Red 23°. 3 days left on the auction so we'll see what happens. Being LH might actually work in my favor for a change.

[Kanoito]

Bought 2 new waterproof cart bags from Sun Mountain, one for the wifey, one for me

 

[Undershooter]

Really tempted by the recent Nike metal woods price drop. Its probably a good thing I can't find either the Fly Pro or the Flex with a Diamana D+ white in 70x  <_>

I bought a Nickent, Omen prophecy putter, a few months ago, and have really come to love it, great weight and smooth control, so when I decided to shop for a new wedge I could not help but check out nickent once again.

After trying several others, I finally decided on the prophecy, omen 56 deg. high toe, took it straight to the range, started off easy, 75 yards, when my first ball landed on the pin, I thought ok, got lucky,

but when the next 5 landed within 3 ft. of the same spot, I started thinking, wow I may have made a good choice.

So I decided to go full swing 100 yard pin, again after hitting the pin on the first attempt, I thought pure luck, and again the next 3 landed within a 3 ft. circle, then it was confirmed, great club, great price.

Put the 25g weight in the toe and let it rip.  I had an Adams Red in the bag for most of this year and it was a great club, just like the Hogan VKTR a bit more.

Most recently a Scotty Cameron X7M.  It has been a godsend, I feel like I have an honest chance to make any putt of 20 feet and in that I look at.   When I do miss, it seems to be right within tap in range, it holds the line very well. 
 

[Jmikecpa]

Just got an interesting email from eBay. I hit BIN for a Scotty grip for one of my putters and two days later got an email that the item was removed by eBay. Guess I won't be getting the grip but on the plus side it was only $20 shipped so not a huge loss.

Sorta wishing I had found that 70x D+ in one of the Nike drivers. It woulda been a nice little last horrah with Nike. Oh well... I may try and pick up some Platinums if I can find some on the cheap. They are a damn good ball.

Bought a set of 3 Scor wedges, 49,53,57. Got a pay rise coming, and doing some OT so thought why not?

Looking for a driver replacement club so after some research found myself a JetSpeed Tour Spoon with an Aldila NV 65 shaft...

 

Hopefully it'll be the straight and long fairway finder I expect it to be!

I know it takes awhile to get used to the SCOR wedges, but once you do, you will love them.

Well, I have been walking 18 holes with the guys at my club during the week, and the sun is brutal.  When I play on the weekends with my wife, I ride in a cart so I get some shade there.  But I decided that I needed a better hat while walking because of a little sunburn.  So, I looked to Canada and the Tilley Hemp...
