ejgaudette Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Been less active as I was on leave with my third child so less time to hop on here, but I'll kinda mark a bit of a come back in the most MSG way possible, a new club purchase. Went down to one of our local stores trying to find a new 3 wood, as my current on is an 07 TM Burner and I had a feeling from some other testing that it was spinning way too much, great for landing on a green, but basically making it more like a 5 wood. Testing confirmed this as even on straight balls I was getting spin closer to 4,000 spin so it was hard to push it past a 215 carry. Looking to save a couple bucks so I tested the SIM2 Ti, Epic Speed, Rad Speed, and TSi3 3 woods. The Rad Speed and TSi3 just struggled to keep up for me personally, and the rails on the Rad have never been my favorite. So it was between the SIM2 and the Epic. Both gave me the lower spin and longer carry I was looking for, pushing to 220 to 225, even without my best speed today. The Epic in the end felt a bit more consistent and so I went for it. Epic Speed 3 Wood, with the stock Smoke IM10 60 Stiff. I like a softer profile in the woods as I get less aggressive after the driver. Though on wrap up thought it that I did some speed training at home and I was only a 2 - 4 MPH slower with the 3 wood than my Driver. Thinking maybe a 60 gram driver shaft is being called for as well. But a purchase for another day, or if someone has a 60 x shaft lying around I might be up for buying it. edingc, NRJyzr, MattF and 3 others 6 Quote Epic Max LS 9° Ventus Blue 6X (2021 Official Review) | Epic Speed 18° Evenflow Riptide 70g 6.0 816 H1 21° Diamana S+ Blue 70 S | SMS 4-5/SMS Pro 6-PW Steelfiber i95 S (2023 Official Review) Glide 4.0 50°.12°S/54°.14°W/58°.6°T PING Z-Z115 Wedge Flex | SOFT 11S Super Stroke Mid-Slim 2.0 Hoofer Bag | Pro V1 | Right Handed | Tracked by V3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlH Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Ordered a pair of Squairz shoes the other day that should be here by Wednesday. It's one of the older models that they had on sale. Saturday, I saw a guy at the club wearing Squairz and asked him his thoughts. He said he loved them and had several pairs. He asked me which model I ordered (Arrow) and commented that, although they would be comfortable, the newer model (Speed) were lighter and even more comfortable. Wish I would have talked to him before I ordered but, then again, I did get the older model $40 cheaper. I'll report later with my thoughts on the shoes. Also bought a couple of pairs of Walter Hagen pants when I was in Dick's the other day. I gotta say, they are very nice pants!

bens197 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Gankas G-Snap arrived today. I am a George fan. I know he isn’t everyone’s flavor and I get it. I am a visual / feel learner and after I committed to understanding his method, it clicked with my brain. I’ll do a deeper dive on product reviews once I have a chance to give it some effort. First impression is that it feels nice, it’s comfortable and allows for a full swing. Some training aids make it difficult to swing fully without feeling some sort of restriction, this is more along the lines of feeling guided into and through impact. The pad behind my hand is moveable and can be attached via Velcro up or down based upon desired feel. It snaps when you bow your wrist (think bowed left at the top like DJ or DD) I was hoping the snap would occur if you over extend through impact like an early-release guide but I haven’t gotten that far yet. I am sure there’s a great reason why it’s set up this way. The point of this is focused on face control. George says repeatedly that G-Snap is face control…it’ll be great for longer clubs but I am looking forward to seeing how this works on my putting stroke and pitching. I’ll go further in depth with pros-cons later on but in the meantime, some photos.

All those FWs I mentioned I tried out? The 4 of them ended up costing me a total of $42 out of pocket after trading in one club to begin the process. The Rogue 3 wood came with the head still in plastic. The 4&5 hybrids were a little pricier through Callaway itself, but with a 50% trade in bonus, and credit from those prior FW purchases (traded in my two original Rogue hybrids and FW) they cost me $120. I got $219 back from PGASS for the Hy-wood, so the 18* will cost me $60. I reviewed a 5H a few years ago when I had the Cobra King F8’s……could not get the hang of it.

Grand Stranded Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 So this 5 hybrid has been a revelation! I love it. I was telling my cart partner about it on Monday, and he told me he has a 6, which he loves. Sure enough, he was money with it. Every time he hit it, the result was the same… nice flight, straight, 145-150 like it was nothing. I’m watching him, and all I could think was “I want one” I mean, we’re internet golfers, posting in a what did you buy thread, right? At first it seemed nobody makes one in LH except Ping, and I was curious, but not $300 curious to try one. Then Tuesday I found an Epic Star 26* hybrid in outlet condition on CPO for $150. I had $63 in credit, so it cost about $85. The model is about 5 years old, but the club itself is brand new, and how much tech can there be in a 6 hybrid?

I was telling my cart partner about it on Monday, and he told me he has a 6, which he loves. Sure enough, he was money with it. Every time he hit it, the result was the same… nice flight, straight, 145-150 like it was nothing. I’m watching him, and all I could think was “I want one” I mean, we’re internet golfers, posting in a what did you buy thread, right? At first it seemed nobody makes one in LH except Ping, and I was curious, but not $300 curious to try one. Then Tuesday I found an Epic Star 26* hybrid in outlet condition on CPO for $150. I had $63 in credit, so it cost about $85. The model is about 5 years old, but the club itself is brand new, and how much tech can there be in a 6 hybrid? It should arrive Friday, so we’ll soon find out if this is another home run, or too much of a good thing. Good luck with the new sticks. Don’t forget Tour Edge. Mine were $60 from Rock Bottom. cksurfdude and fozcycle 2 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick, you read my mind… I was looking at Tour Edge this morning. I know nothing about their clubs though. I’ve heard some guys say they love them, but I’ve also heard that although very forgiving, they aren’t the longest out there? Which model do you have, and what are your thoughts? If this 6 works out, I’d take a flyer on one of their hybrid sets maybe 7-PW? I think they were $99 per on TGW, but I’d be fine with an older and cheaper version if RBG has them.

LeftyMatt89 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I pulled the trigger on an upgrade in the driving iron department. I am moving from my 716 tmb to a t200 utility with an AD DI 105x hybrid shaft. I got it at a price I couldn’t pass up. Will post pictures when it comes cksurfdude, Rickp, edingc and 4 others 7 Quote Driver: TSR3 8 Ventus Red TR 8X Fairway: TSi2 16.5 Ventus Blue 8X Hybrid: Sim 2 - 19 Hybrid Tensei Orange 90TX Irons: P790 4-5 P7MC Raw 6-PW MMT 125TX Wedges: SM8 50.10F, 54.10S - X100 & 58.04T S400 Putter: Lajosi DD201 Pro V1X Left Dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t tried Tour Edge irons , no LH demo carts available yet on new irons. fozcycle, cksurfdude and Grand Stranded 2 1 Quote Rick Left Hand, Driver; PXG 0311XF Cypher 50 gr Senior 5 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 7 wood; Ping 425, Senior Shaft 55 gr 5 hybrid; Cally Steelhead, Hazardous R2 Irons; Mizuno JPX 923HM 7-GW Recoil 460 F2 Wedges; Titleist S9 54*, Mizuno SW 56* Putter; Waaay too many to list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RDel90 Posted March 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2022 Just went for a driver fitting at my local Club Champion. Current setup is Ping G400 Max 10.5 deg (set to 9.6) with Oban Devotion 6 shaft in stiff. I tend to have a high launch, high ball flight and steep descent angle with this setup so maybe at best I get 10 yds roll out. Been averaging about 245 carry and 255 total. Pretty much neutral 0 deg AoA. SS avg 107mph. Tested the Rouge Triple Diamond which brought spin down only a little. TSi3 not too forgiving for me with wider dispersion but solid strikes were nice. Stealth Plus 8deg but hated the appearance of the clubhead at address and just couldn't get comfortable with it so didn't see any noticeable improvements. The Winner: Ping G425 LST dialed down to 7.5 deg and set to draw with Mitsubishi C6 Blue Stiff shaft. Dropped my spin and launch enough to pick up about 15yds on average. Good dispersion and very forgiving for me so mishits didn't have a huge distance penalty. Hit a few with 260 carry 280 total distance. Fingers crossed it actually arrives in 3-4 weeks like I'm told!! edingc, chisag, ejgaudette and 7 others 10 Quote Bag: Sub 70 Cart Series bag Driver: Ping G425 LST 9 deg (set to 7.5 deg/"big minus") Mitsubishi C6 Blue Stiff 55g Grip JumboMax Ultralite (=std grip Jumbo size) 3W: Ping G410 14.5 deg (Set to 13.5 deg) Mitsubishi C6 Blue Stiff 65g Grip JumboMax (=std grip Jumbo size) Hybrid: 19 deg (Set to 18) deg Ping G410 hybrid Mitsubishi C6 Black Stiff 80g Grip JumboMax Ultralite (=std grip Jumbo size) Irons: 5-GW Irons Cobra Forged Tec X KBS Tour Lite Regular -0.25" Grip JumboMax (=std grip Jumbo size) Wedges: 50-07 S-grind, 54-08 D-grind and 58-12 deg D-grind Mizuno T22 Denim Copper Grip Golf Pride Z-Grip Putter: Cobra King 3D Printed Agera Armlock Putter 41" Game Ball: Maxfli TourX CG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
