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

Recommended Posts

Short story, bought a 54.10 S grind SM9 wedge. 
 

I tried the MG3 54 SB and even though I looove the looks of the new TM wedges, the SM9 just did it better. 
 

Yanked the shaft and it’s currently in the basement waiting for the modus 120 to cure. 
 

Now what to do with my 60. I may keep the MG2…the 56 is probably going up for sale. 

  • Titleist TSi3 Fujikura Speeder NX Blue 60X
  • TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X
  • Titleist U505 2 Tensei 1K Black 85 X
  • Titleist T100 4-P Nippon Modus 3 120X
  • PING S159 50-S 55-H 59-T DG X100
  • Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60  Nippon Modus 3 120s

... Well you can't say that on another forum. Looks evidently trumps performance "LOL, someone else feels same as me! I tested some GD Tour AD shafts, could not get past their fugliness."

I have received my Accra RPG Tour shaft today and it’s currently curing on the rack.  
 

Since my last post about the Triple Diamond I have ordered a weight kit from eBay for it.   I also just bought a Srixon F85 3 wood head. The PXG 0211 3 wood experiment ended quickly. The f85 5 wood will have to be pried from my cold dead hands so hopefully the 3 is just as good. Will be purchasing an elements chrome 7f4 post-haste for it. 
 

If the Triple Diamond and F85 3 wood are keepers, my bag is set except for putter. I’m not in love with the mini gunboat but have yet to decide on what I want for sure. I’m leaning towards an Evnroll ER8.3 if I can find one at the right price.

While I’ll probably go back to the ProVs I always like to try a new Bridgestone see if I notice anything different. Usually don’t and the buy 3 get 1 titleist does I always jump at but I don’t need any this year so will mix a few in.

I don’t know, you might stick with those.  I was really impressed with the XS, and I’m convinced the Bridgestone cover is more durable than a Pro V.  The production quality control from Titleist was really the only reason I went back to them.  That, and the realization that I had no business playing the Tiger ball…. 🤣

I played them for a few years and then found the deal in titleist at the beginning of the year and it’s to good to pass up. If Bridgestone did it I would probably buy them TBH

I picked up a Callaway Rogue Max driver yesterday after an hour hitting balls with different shafts, heads, etc.  I went back today and hit some more balls with the LS version just to confirm my findings. The regular max won the battle with my old driver's 44.5 Project X Evenflow regular flex shaft. Today I cut the shaft that came with the driver down to my playing length so it should work well. I'm looking forward to some warm weather this coming week and I'll be out there with my new stick!💣

First impressions are that it looks good at address and it feels good.Very light. I have only used it for a couple of shots so far. But I’ll have a better idea after next weekend. My fade hasn’t improved any, unfortunately. But it is no worse either.

I thought you were fit for an Odyssey and they feel good to you.  Why aren't you happy with it?  What changed?

I fit well into the White Hot OG #1WS blade, and was happy with it. Like a dummy, i traded it in for a Tri-Hot 5K, which I thought would be similar, it supposedly has the same insert. But it feels drastically different, nothing like the White Hot OG blade.

Posted in Sub70 thread but also applicable here. My Sub79 699/699 Pro combo set and demo 849D driver were waiting for me when I arrived home late last night from a business trip to Chicago. The "demo" 849D is brand new with plastic still on the head. Can't wait to hit the range and try out these sticks.

quite a big design difference between the two models. People underestimate the influence of weight placement and how it influences feel and performance even though it could  be the same total weight and toe hang.  I wasn’t a big fan of the tri hot 5k during testing.
