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

[CarlH]

@chisag glad to hear you're on the mend.  Look forward to your comments on the new Cobra

UST Recoil Prototype Utility 110 F4 for my MP-20 HMB 3i. Having it built to the same specs as my TZ5. I’ve been wanting to try a UST shaft for awhile now so this scratches that itch!

I was in the shop today at Bethpage and didn’t buy anything. That type of restraint has to count for something?

Nope, but it is 15 minutes from my house. I can go back just about anytime.

After playing with older irons, circa 1994, I picked up some new irons.  Wilson C300 Forged.
 

I spent hours at PGASS hitting different irons and settled on these.  It’s not a fair comparison but I’m seeing 50% more spin and quite a bit more height from the C300’s than the older irons.  Was able to play them for real on Saturday.  We still have a get acquainted period to work through but I think we’re going to be very happy together.

They probably just didn't have any putters that you didn't already own -- you're not fooling us!

When you are a Disney nut and collect putter covers his was a no brainer.

I don't know why I created a new thread for this, but I just bought a Ben Hogan Ft Worth 24° utility iron.

Bought a Ping G400 LST, gonna see if this is the driver to finally bump my 910d2 out the bag. I’ve tested and gamed other drivers over the years but always went back to my Titleist. 

One of the biggest mistakes I made was trading in my 910d2.  Went to the 915d2 for the updated technology, but it was not nearly as good for me.  Then went to an M2 which was longer, but much more inconsistent.  Now after all that time, I'm back to a Titleist - now the TS3 and have found something that I like again.

Pre ordered the Vokey SM8 wedge with a KBS Hi Rev shaft.  Hoping it comes before the 16th so I can take it down to TX with me for a round.

Just added a Cleveland CBX2 50* wedge and the Mavrik 24* hybrid. Maybe more excited about the wedge...

[TR1PTIK]

Started a separate thread to document my journey with them, but I recently acquired a new driver, fairway, and hybrid from Rock Bottom Golf - Mizuno ST190 Driver & Fairway, and prior gen CLK Hybrid. All three clubs for $560 total and shipped in 2-days. Need to make some shaft changes, but I'm already in love with these clubs.

I've heard good things about those, and it's hard to go wrong for that price!

Let me know what you think of the wedge.  I need a 50º and that's heading my list.  What shaft did you get?

My girls play left handed and I need to start a collection for them. I am agnostic to dexterity and brand.

If you look in the member reviews these were reviewed by MGS members when they came out. I tried to get the link but my phone is not playing nice today.

We have twin daughters and when they were young played softball. One is solid Righty the other is ambidextrous, she blew a lot of minds when she would switch between RH & LH gloves during a game depending on what position she played.
I’m sure you and your girls will have fun with the putter experience.

got the GD 115 wedge shaft. Hoping to get to the course today to give it a real world whack. Will post pictures later of my first hole out from 110y that I am expecting.

A set of irons that I love. Cobra Fly z pro... So pretty and just such a nice iron. Honestly not sure how much they will be in play, but can't wait to hit them. Also for the price they were hard to not pick up.

... There are many great irons out there right now but I think Cobra is the most under appreciated iron OEM in the game. I have always said that all things considered, the Cobra Forged Tours are the best all around irons ever made, and that holds true for the Amp Forged and Fly Z+. Better than the AP2's although the new T100's may be the Forged Tour equals. And a very small but quite vocal crowd really absolutely love the Fly Z Pro's in both MB and CB. The Forged Tec's are giving the P790's a run for their money and had I not picked up a set of the 2019 P790's, there is a very good chance the Tec's may have made it into my bag. On the other end of the spectrum their SGI's also seemed to be universally praised by higher index players. I don't believe I have ever read a negative comment about Cobra irons in the last 5 years. 

... You would think with all of the above said, Cobra would be one of the top selling iron OEMs but some stores don't even carry them?!? Congrats on your new irons.  

[chisag]

... I chose my equipment by performance and pay very little attention to aesthetics. They have to look good to my eye at address of course, but pairing say a green/yellow shaft with some red/white paint fill on the head has never entered into my decision to play anything, if it gives me the numbers and performance I am looking for. That said, I am not immune to something looking cool if it happens to work out that way. So I was pleasantly surprised by how good the Cobra Xtreme with a white alignment aid and white painful accents on the Matt crown looked when paired with a Rogue White 130 shaft that goes from white to the Matt black bottom half.

In addition to all that you mentioned, IMO their wedges are extremely underrated. Before doing the Bridgestone Tour B XW-1 testing, I played the King 56 and 60*. Played the Trusty Rustys previoiusly, replaced them with the kings in 2016. I was really looking at another set of kings in 2018 but was picked for the Bridgestone test. Was kind of hoping that the Bridgestones would flop (no pun intended) so I could go buy a newer set of Kings.. Well I'm still playing the Bridgies so that's how that story ends. 

Additionally, I play a regular AMP 4 wood from 2011 that is probably one of my favorite clubs of all time! And the F8+ driver. So you can see that I wear me some Cobra on my sleeve

Nice to see you are considering aesthetics in you club selection process now.  A club can't perform well unless it looks good    It does look nice though!
