That's why we are all different. Some of us swap drivers or irons, or wedges others (like myself) swap putters. Prior to writing this I was researching putter shafts and pondering cutting the length down a couple of inches to see how that works. I guess I don't see swapping putters as being any different than swapping out any other club.

Wow, I knew it had been a while since I had anything to post. So here you go. These were on order for a bit, but just arived. Hopefully will get them out for our Turkey Shoot Scramble on Friday. Temps supposed to be mid 50's but raining. Got them with SteelFiber I80 shafts. Had a chance to hit a few 6 irons on the range today, and the shaft did exactly what they do in my Gen 5, just start online and hold it very well. Such a tight dispersion. Better than any shaft I can recall hitting. As for the irons, tough to tell much hitting into a 10 mph wind in mid 30's temp, but they felt great, except for the first couple that I hit while getting warmed up. But pretty consistent high fade, just what I'm looking for. Honest to god, I'm assembling the same set up minus my Scotty is older.

The bag drop attendant starting switching then to a carry bag and Mr Big Shot said. Hey I just bought that bag yesterday. The bag drop guy said. Sir.

BIG STU Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 9 hours ago, Golfspy_CG2 said: I wouldn’t dare do that. Whenever I’m going to a resort Course with caddies. I always take my lightweight carry bag. I saw a Mr. Big Shot type pull up in a huge Escalade at whistling straights. He had a Staff Bsg and all the irons still had the plastic on them. The bag drop attendant starting switching then to a carry bag and Mr Big Shot said. Hey I just bought that bag yesterday. The bag drop guy said. Sir. Show me your PGA Card and we’ll be happy to leave the clubs in it. Otherwise they are going in this bag. Nothing at all wrong with a Staff or Tour bag--- I have several I earned either being on staff Ping ( GASP!) Infiniti and Titleist ( where I had a ball deal only)---- I sorta got on a personal anti advertising jag a few years back. Here the Tourist posers carry staff bags or fancy stand bags. I caan remember at my former course the tourons if you set back and watched would check out my bag. They would come back perplexed seeing old V-Steel Fairways and rusty lead taped Macgregors etc. That was about the time I went on my anti advertising jag. I went to the old school non descript Jones. I do not carry a lot of stuff anyhow. The Jones for me in my state of health handles good. A few weeks back I did transfer my stuff to one of my Titleist staff bags just because one of my sometimes scramble partners is a poster Boy for PXG. Halfway through the round I rationalized I do not need all of that. Went home after the round and went back to the Jones. Yeah I like flying under the radar----- I do have a non descript old school Burton but for me it is heavy and overkill for the small amount of stuff I carry. But yeah if one wants a staff bag either with or without their name on it fine with me sirchunksalot, Golfspy_CG2, Bang60 and 3 others 6 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Popular Post GolfSpy SAM Posted November 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2022 Merry Christmas to me, from my wife (well, her aunties who always insist on buying me a present...twist my arm, why don't ya). Full bag fitting (sans putter) at True Spec Beverly Hills (fancy shmancy), scheduled for January 6 - 50% off ($187.50) with code "BFCM50", in case you want to get in on the action. They're also doing +15% on any gift cards, so for $165 (or so), you end up with a full bag fitting normally $375. Killer deal. Anyway - it's more for the experience than anything else, as I've never been fully fitted, and it'll be exciting to have that kind of day in a place like this. I'll try my best to document as best as I can - this has been a dream for a while now, to get the whole experience, so hopefully I'm in good form that day.

That's awesome, should be a really good experience. I've been to some good fitters, but True Spec isn't anywere near us, so I keep waiting for maybe one day I'll be near them ::) sirchunksalot, GolfSpy SAM and cksurfdude 3 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't believe a place like that existed right down the street. I wasn't able to take advantage of it then, and I missed last year's Black Friday deal, so this feels like a long-time coming. I'm so curious to see where, if at all (and obviously there will be places), I can see clear gains. I'm also super curious to see what a REAL fitting looks like - my irons were done at GolfTec, and while an okay process, it was...here are 4 options, pick one, and I went with the cheapest option. Now knowing so much more (thanks to TXG and the forum) about the fitting process, I'm really excited to try some stuff that I would have been intimidated to try before (no, I'm not trying blades ).

Cool...I was in NC as few years ago and they had just opened a location at a course near where we were staying but we were playing 36 a day so there was no time to try and schedule on then. That's the cloests I have come. But everytime they post on SM about a new location comng, I throw in a bid for Maryland..ha I was lucky enough to be fit by Ian several years ago in Toronto (it's on their channel if you want a good laugh) and it was the first real truly provessional fitting I had, learned so much spending that 1/2 day with him and Matt. I think the title is Fittings are Just For Buying Clubs or something like that the date was June 2018 I believe) sirchunksalot, cksurfdude, cnosil and 1 other 4 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
