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

[BMart519]

Picked up the Divot Board that Adam Young was promoting on black Friday which included a 6 month subscription to Next Level Golf. Adam sent me a note afterwards to confirm the subscription and gave me a bit of guidance reviewing the material and what areas he thought were most important which I thought was cool.

I am curious on the board. How loud is it when struck? Could be useful for swings in the house.

Picked up Baby Brother to go alongside Big Brother.   Man does this thing look great.   Sets up beautifully.   
 

Also i know I’m about a decade late to this party, but I’vw become a GD fan boy, I have 2 now and a 3rd one on the way.   Then of course there was Tony’s blog this morning on the new HD

I think I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse...
(..there I said it!)

Earlier in the season I'd figured I needed a little more "help" with my wedge game so picked up a new CBX2 54*. I'd already replaced the Hogan Equalizer gap wedge when I got the PXG 0211 set; and then also swapped out the Equalizer 58 for an old Callaway Jaws 60* sitting around figuring it would help me get out of deep bunkers .. and the decided to grab a prior gen CBX 60 on sale...

Well...

Not so sure I'm loving the CBXs... May put the standard wedge 54 and 58 back in the bag and maybe play 2 balls side-by-side a few rounds.....

Bought this last week, but just came today. Stick Mobility sticks. Different than just a PVC stick, they are flexible. Feels really good doing the mobility movements with these things.

[Chip Strokes]

slowly starting to put together a bag for my house in florida. trying to do it by bargain hunting on offer up, craigslist, and the WRX classifieds

got this G400 with HZRDUS black handcrafted shaft for $175

also picked this cobra 3w with GD XC 7X shaft up from a forum member for a great deal

I understand completely. I went from MD3 wedges to CBX's, probably for the same reason you did... forgiveness.

Well it turned out I didn't notice any additional forgiveness, which would have been okay if I felt comfortable with them in all other areas. They were just wrong for me in too many ways, however. The shaft length of the 52* was as long as most PW's, and the heads looked too big to my eye. I also felt uncomfortable trying to open them up in a bunker.

Don't get me wrong, the CBX wedges are very good. They work well for a lot of players, I just like the look of a blade style wedge, it just feels like a more versatile club to me.

EDIT

BTW, I recently switched from a big, thick iron head (Rogue X) to the same PXG 0211 irons you also play. I bought the CBX to go with the Rouge X irons, and they felt big compared to those, they would've looked even bigger now next to the 0211's..

I don't know what irons you played before the PXG's, but the visual transition from your 0211 GW to the CBX has to be a tough one.

Enjoy!!! Nothing looks better than a Titleist wood... they just scream "class".

I just picked up some Cobra hybrids on the cheap, but what I really want is a set of 3 Titleist hybrids. They're soooo expensive though, I'm going to wait until I can get properly fitted for them. My hybrids are a crucial part of my bag (they're the clubs I hit best) and because the Titleist's are so expensive, I want to make sure everything is just right.

Just took advantage of the 20% off sale on the taylormade my spiderx. Merry Xmas to me

I'm waiting too; have to make a trip to Portland when C-19 restrictions ease a little bit.

Thanks for the feedback on the CBXs!

Before the 0211s I had a set of Apex CF16s - switched to get a little more GI type iron but still with some feel. And that was an easy transition (plus lessons have helped!).

So I thought I'd make a parallel move with the wedges.

Yeah the CBXs are a bit chunky compared to traditional wedges but that doesn't really bother me (I don't think?) ... I'm primarily looking for the right tool for me for each slot in the bag...

I had the CF16's (loved them) then hit my friends Rogue X 7 iron. It went 15 yards longer than the CF16, and that was that, lol.

When I ordered the PXG's, I knew they wouldn't be as long, but I'm hoping for more accuracy (so far so good). I did have my lofts strengthened though. 1* in my 5&6, and 2* in the 7-GW.

My set goes 23*-48* instead of 24*-50* I don't know how much difference that actually makes, but I'm glad I did it. These irons go plenty high with the MMT shafts, even with the stronger lofts.

Finally came in going to hit them tomorrow .. never hit mizuno before

We are cold, windy and wet today.  But if it brightens up a bit, I may get out this afternoon for a hole or two just to try it out

[Micah T]

Definitely let us—well at least me—knkw how it goes with that after a few rounds.  I’m considering giving Arccos a 2nd chance in trying the Link.  

Recorded all but 1 stroke on my round yesterday: missed a 56 degree approach after I had entered a penalty stroke for hitting my tee shot into a river. Still records the occasional practice putting stroke, but I was impressed overall...

it has been betraying me the last 2 months. I've putted like a donkey, so I decided to give it some competition.

My buddy's putter sensor crapped out on him and Arccos sent him a new one -- hope they take care of you too!

... I should have a set of King Tour irons to review in the next month. I will be in Phoenix by then and can put them through some serious daily on course testing. They will have their work cut out for them as I have never entered a new season with irons I had zero intention of replacing like my T100-S. I feel like I have them completely dialed in and am looking forward to seeing how they play on hard, fast desert greens that require tour level spin. Then a comparison review to the King Tour's should be completed in one to two months.

Are you talking about the MIM Tour Irons? If so they will hold up well to the T100-S... Only thing to consider is that the T100-S have slightly stronger lofts, if I am not mistaken

... Thanks. I rarely take loft into consideration when writing reviews, at least for comparison to other irons. These are 1* apart so that may or may not make any difference. For me and hopefully my readers, it is always about performance and having the proper gaps which can mean some loft changes with my wedges but I never know until I play them. That said I am very familiar with Cobra's Tour iron offerings having played the last 3 versions including Amp Forged, Fly Z+ and Forged Tours so I have a good idea what my gapping should be with the King Tour MIM irons.

Very surprised that you are contemplating making a change, but you probably are like me, always tinkering with your game.

Good Luck and have a great time in the desert!

... I am not really contemplating a change, although ya never know. This is the first year I did not want to tinker.  I have just been a big fan of Cobra Tour irons through the years and wanted to get my hands on some and write a review for those that might be interested in them.
