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

I think PGA Tour Superstore made a pricing mistake. I know the Cobra Speedzone and Speedzone Xtremes are now down to $349.99, but I was just able to buy a Speedzone Xtreme Pars and Stripes with a Ventus Velocore Blue 6S for $349.99. Let's see if they cancel the order.

Looks like it is available at that price as long as you don't customize the order. Probably have quite a few and need to move them.

A quick thanks to @chisag for mentioning these in another thread, I ordered two dozen TaylorMade TP5 Pix (practice) from Golf Discount at a great price. I can honestly say I've never hit a TP5, so I'm looking forward to putting them in play. Also, I ordered a No Putts Given tee shirt on a flash sale, and they all arrived today. 20200928_175212-01.jpeg.1ae7fbbd320cad6759c04798cee771e4.jpeg

I enjoyed playing those TP5s when I have ran out prior good luck!

I had to take them outside as soon as I could and hit some chips with them and so far, I like them. They feel really good coming off the wedge. I was worried the pattern would distract me, but no problems there either.

I struggled with them putting (numbers didn’t say that because I had my best round this year with that ball) but the thing is up there with my proVs

Kirkland Signature 4-pack of gloves. 

I was going to place an order for my normal MG Dynagrips, but they were backordered. Price-wise the KSigs are slightly cheaper per glove. The four new gloves plus one new MG that I still have will last me through next season, hopefully.

I took a two pack smaple out today to give them a run.   
 

my first hole with them i had a 74 yard shot to a front pin.  I made perfect contact with my 54 SM7 with grooves that are pretty worn.  
 

it hit and took one hop then spun in all sorts od circles.   My buddy was amazed.   I have seen my ProVX do that regularly. 

I had several similar shots from 30 to 80 yards with the same results. 
 

Also had a 100 yarder out of medium rough, hit a flush PW (T100s—BTW)  According to my buddy it landed about 5 feet short of the flag snd had just enough juice to keep rhe rollout to about 15 feet. 
 

So i was very impressed with it.

That's good to hear, I'm really keen on a ball that'll react well on and around the green.

Squeezed an Axis1 Rose into a recent trade. I’ve been hoping to get my hands on one of these putters for awhile. This one is absolutely mint but a little too long for me at 35 inches. Looking forward to getting it dialed in for a proper bout with the current Bobby Grace NYC Tour gamer.

Assuming my Pars and Stripes order goes through, do I:

1. Play it as-is
2. Keep the head and sell the Ventus Blue shaft - not sure how well I would fit into a Ventus Blue, i play a Red right now
3. Sell the whole thing and make a few dollars by selling components separately and then use those proceeds to buy a fitted driver

Well, over the last few weeks I’ve had an near entire bag overhaul. 
First, my Cleveland launcher HB fairway hasn’t worked very well for me in the Long run, and I found an F9 3/4 wood  that someone Had paired with a driver and they agreed to split the listing and sold for $120 and once I installed the Aldila tour blue 75x, I had a rocket launcher in my hands... so easy to hit!!
Then on IG, Bryangolf shared a giveaway that someone won from him for an F9 driver with an Accra 65g x stiff shaft.... and I got lucky and won!!
Finally, a guy local to me listed On FB marketplace a Srixon blended set of z585 4i-6i, z785 7i-PW for $450 or trade for a more forgiving set....so after a little back and forth, I traded my Cleveland CBX 4i-PW heads + $100 for the srixon heads And he swapped all of the heads, reinstalled everything and delivered them the next morning!!! 
So, my signature has changed and upgraded significantly!! 
still rocking the CBX wedges though... they  are money for me!

I still have mine, my current rotation is Titleist TS1, Callaway Sub Zero and the Pars and Stripes.  I intend on keeping the P&S for the foreseeable future. While it' snot my everyday driver right now, it's not missing much from the TS1.   The Ventus shaft does seem to give me a bit stronger dispersion than some other shafts I have played.  It almost makes me want to buy one for my TS1 to see if it could help out with that a bit, not so much dispersion but on reducing the spin.  I think I have a shaft in the TS1 that isn't conducive to lower spin. 

Sorry, that's a long answer to say, I think you should keep it 😉 ...IMO.

Why did you buy the club? I typically buy clubs to play so that would be my recommendation.

If you have no intention of using it, then just sell the whole thing.

Sometimes I buy things because the price is good. Not a rational thing to do but i guess that is why i am a frequent poster in this thread 😁

Thanks. I will likely keep the head but sell the shaft. I am intrigued by the Speedzone Xtreme head but don't think I will fit into the Ventus Blue.

Today was the day... my PXG 0211 iron set arrived!!!!

Wow! The guys who talked about the packaging these come in weren't kidding around. Mine arrived in a box within a box, LOL. The outer one was the size a golf bag would come in, and inside was the over the top PXG one. Comes with a handle, and when you open it, each club is encased separately in foam, then protected by foam layers.

Now for the clubs themselves.... I ordered 5-GW with the regular flex MMT 70 gram shafts, and had the lofts adjusted to match the power specs in PING G410 irons. My reasoning for this being I wanted a more precise iron than my Rogue X, but didn't want to give up too much distance to get it. I also liked the idea of lessening the bounce to suit local course conditions. We'll see if I did the right thing, but in theory I think I used sound judgement here.

These things are stunning, even prettier than in the pictures online. They are the best looking set I've owned since my all-time favorite, which was a set of Mizuno MX-20's that I owned years ago. At set up, the 7-GW look perfect, exactly what I like when looking down on a club. Thin top line, slightly longer than normal from heel to toe. As others have said, very i500-ish. One issue at first glance are the 5 & 6 at setup. The topline is great, and I knew there would be a bit of junk in the trunk with these, as the 0211's are a progressive set, but... What jumps out (pun intended) is how different that "junk" appears in these two clubs. It is really pronounced at the heel with these, with a very squared off look. I can't think of another iron like it. If I had my wish, this would've been rounded off quite a bit, but I'm willing to give the PXG engineers the benefit of the doubt here, as I'm sure they did this for a reason. It's a very strange look though, and we'll have to see how it goes. I'll get used to it if the performance is there.

The combination of these heads, shaft and the stock PXG grip is stunning visually. I've read about a lot of people hating the grips, but they feel fine to me. The shafts are beautiful, I love the matte black finish, and they give the club a very light, easy to swing feel. These clubs actually feel lighter than the Rogue X set I'm coming out of, which is something I wasn't expecting. That's all good though, as I've really grown to like a light feel in my irons as I've gotten older. 

Unfortunately it's raining here today, and I can't take these to the range, but tomorrow is another day. This is a bad time to break in a new set though. Aside from the fact I've been off with my old irons lately, I have the biggest of our club's tournaments being played on each of the next 3 Tuesdays. The smart move would be to stick with the Rogue X, MD4, and Odyssey setup I've been playing, but looking at a bag of brand new 0211's, not to mention still wrapped up Glide 3.0 wedges and Evnroll ER5 putter will make that a very hard decision!

Today was the day... my PXG 0211 iron set arrived!!!!

Wow! The guys who talked about the packaging these come in weren't kidding around. Mine arrived in a box within a box, LOL. The outer one was the size a golf bag would come in, and inside was the over the top PXG one. Comes with a handle, and when you open it, each club is encased separately in foam, then protected by foam layers.

Now for the clubs themselves.... I ordered 5-GW with the regular flex MMT 70 gram shafts, and had the lofts adjusted to match the power specs in PING G410 irons. My reasoning for this being I wanted a more precise iron than my Rogue X, but didn't want to give up too much distance to get it. I also liked the idea of lessening the bounce to suit local course conditions. We'll see if I did the right thing, but in theory I think I used sound judgement here.

These things are stunning, even prettier than in the pictures online. They are the best looking set I've owned since my all-time favorite, which was a set of Mizuno MX-20's that I owned years ago. At set up, the 7-GW look perfect, exactly what I like when looking down on a club. Thin top line, slightly longer than normal from heel to toe. As others have said, very i500-ish. One issue at first glance are the 5 & 6 at setup. The topline is great, and I knew there would be a bit of junk in the trunk with these, as the 0211's are a progressive set, but... What jumps out (pun intended) is how different that "junk" appears in these two clubs. It is really pronounced at the heel with these, with a very squared off look. I can't think of another iron like it. If I had my wish, this would've been rounded off quite a bit, but I'm willing to give the PXG engineers the benefit of the doubt here, as I'm sure they did this for a reason. It's a very strange look though, and we'll have to see how it goes. I'll get used to it if the performance is there.

The combination of these heads, shaft and the stock PXG grip is stunning visually. I've read about a lot of people hating the grips, but they feel fine to me. The shafts are beautiful, I love the matte black finish, and they give the club a very light, easy to swing feel. These clubs actually feel lighter than the Rogue X set I'm coming out of, which is something I wasn't expecting. That's all good though, as I've really grown to like a light feel in my irons as I've gotten older. 

Unfortunately it's raining here today, and I can't take these to the range, but tomorrow is another day. This is a bad time to break in a new set though. Aside from the fact I've been off with my old irons lately, I have the biggest of our club's tournaments being played on each of the next 3 Tuesdays. The smart move would be to stick with the Rogue X, MD4, and Odyssey setup I've been playing, but looking at a bag of brand new 0211's, not to mention still wrapped up Glide 3.0 wedges and Evnroll ER5 putter will make that a very hard decision!

 

Nice initial write up of these. These are as set I looked hard at early in the year.  Keep us posted on how you do with them.

The rational side got to me, I ended up canceling the Pars and Stripes order. Although it was a good deal, it was still $400 with tax. The rational side of me says I should at least try something out if it is $400.

Thanks, I certainly will.

I've never thrown my hat in the ring to test a product here, only because I knew there was only one that I'd ever want to do a review on, and that was the driver that PING replaces the G400 Max with. It looks like the 425 series will have that club (see what I did there???) 🤪 

Before I can do that though, I not only have to work on how to do a club review, but I seriously need to upgrade my computer game, and at least learn how to download pictures!!!

While we're down here in Florida looking for a winter place, our car automatically steered into the PGASS in Sarasota. My wife went direct to the 65% off rack and picked up a couple of items. I got one of these Aussie Chiller bucket hats.
