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

Was in the Arkansas Golf Shop today so my wife could hit some demo hybrids and irons and recommendations.  She's currently playing some senior shaft Adams hybrids and irons but I'm thinking that, although she needs the longer length than standard ladies irons, they're too heavy and not enough flex for her slower swing.  She liked the Callaway Rogue OS hybrids.  Going to have her talk things over with her swing coach and get his input.  

Bought a cleat tool and a Puma shirt for myself.  

My wife had an old set of Adams Idea clubs and was fitted at our pro shop this past spring with Callaway which she absolutely loves.  She bought the ST Max D driver and ST Max 7w both with Cypher forty 5.0, ST Max OS 5h with Cypher fifty 5.0, then 7 -PW ST Max OS irons with fifty 5.0 and a JAWS 56*. She doesn’t have a fast SS but data showed best results with these shafts. And I think they shortened her shafts as she is barely 5’-5” (and a hundred nothing pounds). Her drives are 170-190ish.  I don’t have any fairway woods but took her 7w to the range yesterday and loved it.  Need a regular flex but the look and feel is very confidence inspiring.  She has some major hand issues so she has all oversized Winn wraps, and I am trying that on my driver.

I’ve been accumulating gift cards and rewards points at various golf stores. Lately I’ve been cashing them in in preparation for a ball fitting project / simulator build for winter garage play. Here’s the current stash that will be going up against a variety of Maxfli balls. TBD on additional ball purchases but it’s a start!

I will probably be doing the same and loading up on some Vice Pro Soft. Something about that ball just works for me. 6 rounds in with it and I only have 1 round not in the 30’s and it was a 41.  $29/dozen is good enough for me

I sprinkled 919 Forged between the 900T and these 223's

The 919F was probably a mistake, though I shot my PB (75) three times with them, they weren't spinning enough for the club/face conditions that I typically present to the ball.

Played 9 holes (only had time to finish 6) and a scramble since I got them. Preliminary results is that they're better than the 919F were, and graphite is nice on the wrists.

Nice variety.  I play the Q-Star Tour and have for a few years.  Love the feel and performance for the price.  Our range uses TourResponse, but I found a real one (non-range) awhile ago and liked it a lot.  Got a great review on this site.  Also found a Chromesoft awhile ago and liked it as well.  May be as good or a bit better than The Q, but need to find it on sale.  I plan to next try the Elixr next, but in the meantime, the Q is my go to.

I seem to recall that St. Sebastian covers sports in general but for golf, I’d go with St. Jude. The patron saint of lost causes. 😂

Well I thought I was flying under the radar but the UPS guy gave me a kick back to reality. I was working at a business about 25 minutes from my house and the UPS guy showed up to deliver to them.

I threw out a lowball offer on a L.A.B. DF 2.1 on "the bay".  Offer accepted and should arrive tomorrow.  The MGS Forum testing and discussion around the DF 2.1 has been great, and I'm looking forwrd to testing it out against my Scotty blades.

As I posted in my last "how did you play" I wasn't exactly on fire with the flatstick...  If I can lower my average putts by 2 or 3 a round... that would be huge for me. 

Of course, I wasn't fit specifically for this used putter, so I'm putting the cart in front of the horse a bit... all part of being a member of CHA.

I should add... I'm not going into this putter completely cold... I have been spending more lunch hours than I care to admit at the PGASS rolling a DF2.1 on their indoor greens.  and comparing it ito everything they have on the racks there - as well as my own gamer.  I am intrigued enough, and the price was low enough, to give it a true tryout on the course.

Tried the 3 but ended up with TSR2 just for the help on all those times I don’t find the center of the club face, which is often…

I guess a little bit but if it was a good price, I suppose it's worth tinkering.  I assume that your Scotty was fit to your stroke, and I was just wondering why you think a change is needed... especially to a putter that was not fit to you.

From LAB website...

"Lie Angle Balance doesn’t read greens. It doesn’t line you up at your target. You’ll have to figure out those things on your own. But Lie Angle Balance will help with distance control because your putter won’t want to flop around during your stroke like a fish out of water. It works with your stroke, not against it.  And if you do happen to contact your putt off-center with the DF 2.1, it won’t really affect the result. That’s the benefit of playing a putter that looks like Darth Vader."

I sincerely hope no one has a putter that flops around like a fish out of water.  I had my Ping fit at Ping HQ, and all putts feel solid.  As LAB says, misses come from misreading greens, not lining up correctly, and improper speed (maybe a mishit, but more likely poor read and/or stroke).  I don't even look at the ball when I putt, and mishits are extremely rare.  

One thing I have noticed over the years is that pros rarely change putters (unless they have serious issues), and amateurs change putters seemingly every year or so looking for some magic.  I've found that frequent practice (on course) helps build confidence in your stroke with your putter, and that where the magic happens.  I guess that's why the pros do it.  

The DF2.1 putter will be an interesting test on real greens compared to your Scotty.  If it doesn't work out, then it can always be used as a bottle opener.  🤣

... Kenny I actually think Pro's and Ams are more similar in that good putters don't change often. Poor putters are always looking for a new putter that may help. Obviously Pro's will change less often than a typical Am that struggles so there is that.

Fair comments all Kenny.  🙂  The thing I love about the DF2.1 vs. my Scotty is that I have to manage the face a bit (I have a tendency to set up with a closed face, then work to "square" it back to my target line).  I also struggle with the proper "press'.  Both those things feel immediately natural with the LAB.  It sets up square when I put it down and I REALLY like the press grip.  I'm not kicking my Scotty out of bet for eating crackers by any means... but for a 50%+ discount on msrp... I've spent my money on worse things... haha.  Magic... yes, that is what I want 🙂 

oh, and I have a few bottles in the fridge that are waiting for it's delivery too 😉

i had a LAB DF2.1 once, didn't work well for me. Could never figure out the distance control with that thing.

That is a concern of mine... a common theme of comments is the lag putting...
