... 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 P7690's a run for their money and had I not picked up a set of the 2019 P7890'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.  

I actually owned the amp cell pro, but sold them and regretted it right away. I had the ping ie1 and played so much better with them but always missed the look, feel and style of them. 

Don't get me wrong my i210 are still the irons to beat for me, but I will be putting a back up bag together with these. 

The fly z pros simply put are a stellar looking iron and I hope the performance is there to back it up. I know they won't be long, but still. May do a what's in the back up bag thread

A few dozen balls and some new Footjoy spikes for the upcoming golf trip.

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.

I saw a guy the other day play right handed except for the putter. His putting left handed threw me for a loop. Crazy.

Three more MG DynaGrip Elite gloves and a trial pack of Flex-Head tees, as recommended by @MattF and @THEZIPR23, if I recall correctly!

Absolutely love the gloves and still have a brand new one in the bag. Four gloves should get me through the season. If the tees are any good, I'll probably order more in whatever size ends up being right for the driver. Looking forward to them being "unbreakable," and also the shank ensuring they are set at the same height each time.

Sweet!

As for me, I couldn't help myself. Just ordered a pair of these bad boys.

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.

Same with me. Others were longer by a little but nothing has been as consistent and forgiving as the 910. I’m just glad I kept it while trying others.

Puma makes a very comfortable, great performing shoe. I'm sure you'll love them!

I just pulled the trigger on the Titlesit TS3 driver. 9.5 loft with Hazrdus Smoke shaft. The only thing I'm having trouble with is the 460 size head. It looks huge to me...lol. I've been playing the D3 size head for 8 years. It's a visual challenge.

Just picked up these bad boys today, finally closing the 8 degree gap between my PW & GW.

Cobra Amp Cell 3/4 Wood with Graffalloy Pro Launch Blue shaft (not sure on the weight) and a Golf Prode grip that I dont know the model of. Didn't come with a wrench and is currently set at 4-D.  

Gave it a whirl in a casual round and it's a very interesting club to hit.  

[silver & black]

I played my first round of the year today. I couldn't be happier with the TS3. A little getting used to and a change of the weighting and it was money. I think it will just get better as I get more familiar with it.

I still have a 910D head in my garage... somewhere.

[HardcoreLooper]

The gator is now playing the boring, white Callaway Magna (she hits it thin more often than she'd like; she likes the slightly larger ball), so I bought her some Golfdotz at GG today to decorate them.  Also found her a Nike pullover on sale for those cold March afternoons at practice.  I had to get the purchase over $50 to use a coupon, so I grabbed a Titleist 913 21* hybrid for $19.99.  I mean, why not?  Hoping to replace my 4i, which goes the same distance as my 5i and really only stays in the bag to hold my towel.

Do a mini review once you've played with it a little!

Swing changes have been incredible with the irons and wedges, but have been causing issues in my reliable Driver and 3W.  Sent some lesson and practice videos to fitter and had some discussions about shaft weight, balance point, head weight and swing weight.  The Accra TZ5s that was fit into are fantastic, but they have a very low balance point.  This means that swing weight is typically higher.  This was causing the driver and 3W to get stuck behind me, leading to come much more from the inside than I wanted.  After trying a few different higher balance point shafts, I settled on two shafts.  I sold my Accra's last week.  My new 3W shaft (VA Vylyn) should be here today.  The driver shaft I liked (VA Nemesys) is backordered until next week.  

Looking forward to getting these in play.

Not sure if you've checked out the Tornado Tees yet, but I got a pack for Christmas and I really like them.  They don't leave any marks on the bottom of your driver and some people have claimed to have used 1 tee for more than 1000 tee shots.  https://tornadotee.com/

... Picked up a Vokey SM8 58.8 M Grind yesterday. I still have to submerge it in white vinegar over night to loose the black and get the raw finish I prefer. But I was a little surprised to see a new club with it's first release to be considerably off spec, kinda crucial for a wedge. Standard specs are 58* loft and 64* lie but mine measured at 56.5* of loft and 65* lie. Pictured here next to my Mitchell LL machine, kinda like waiting at the Chiropractors for an adjustment:

[knightsofnii]

^ that matte black looks sick!  At least until you use it for a few days ;)

 

I've been considering replacing my Cleveland Rotex CB 50* with a CBX or CBX 2 50*  

Also considering the Ping Glide 3.0  

 

Aside from that, I think just regripping my driver and irons with some Golf Pride Tour Velvet Plus 4 or MCC Plus 4.

It's been a while since I've been able to participate in this thread, but the last couple of weeks have really had me itching for golf.  If you can't play, might as well buy stuff so you're ready right??

New Groove it brush...

Then I was lucky enough to snag one of the American Flatsticks/Gibbons Handmade Baby Yoda mallet covers.  Yes I'm going to game it and it looks way better in person.

Last, but certainly not least.  I finally picked up a Fujikura Ventus Black in 6-S.  Turns out the cheapest way to buy this shaft is to do it as an upgrade on a TM SIM driver, so that came attached to it as well

[03trdblack]

Scored an amazing deal on these Miura irons.  Cb 1008 in 3-6 and MB 101 in 7-pw.

Those are some nice pickups@hckymeyer! I got the SIM is long and straight for you. That headcover, wow....just wow. That is just sweet.

Just made some fairway wood purchases from Callaway Preowned. New 3 wood and 5 wood on the way! Can't wait for you guys to see the new WITB before the season starts!

EXS 220 #7i with KBS Tour Graphite shaft (their stock offering for "R" flex); 30-day trial but have a feeling it may be staying and may be joined by a few slightly larger plus slightly smaller clones.....

I love that combo.  Can't wait to hear how it works. 

 

Hey, sorry, forgot to get back to you on this.... as it ended up, I was not loving them enough vs current set to justify changing. Yes - it was longer than my current 7i, BUT .. and not to open up this well-discussed can of worms .. the EXS 7i is more alike to my current 6i .. against which it was about the same in ball flight and distance. 

Plus, I think the stock shaft was a touch heavy for me, so I'd need to go for a fitting to test shafts; also the hollow body, of course, is much louder at impact and .. imo .. had a harsher feel on off-center hits. 

But it was a worthwhile test!
(..may go to a store and try the EXS 220h and the Launcher UTX)

I made a pit stop since I was rained out today.

... Well mroppositeofthin this SM8 is proving to be particularly difficult to strip. Very uneven looking and has a sparkle finish underneath so it looks like Vokey is using a different coating than in the past. SM7 was easy to turn raw. Maybe it will last longer for those that like the black look but it is a b!tch to get to a raw condition.
