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

[MacAndrews]

Bought the Callaway Mavrik Pro 4 hybrid to go with the 3h I bought a year ago. Bye-bye 4 and 5 iron. These are the first hybrids I've been able to hit consistently well without toe-hooking the ball 50% of the time. Should have bought the 4h much sooner. It's a great utility club I can actually launch high in the air.

Next decision: Upgrade my 17/18 King Forged Tec's to the '22 model or go for the 21 Apex Pro? Leaning toward staying with Cobra.

[Pinhi1]

Been playing ZX5s since last year. Just bought 6-PW ZX7 to hybrid with.  Also bought a Rogue ST Max LS with GD Tour AD DI 7X shaft and a Vokey SM9 60K.

[Droptopman]

JPX 923 Tours on the way.  Should be here next week.  Spent several hours on driver fitting.  Know it will be Stealth 2+ but still wavering on shaft.  Stock Hzadus Black Gen 4 is producing solid numbers, but going to spend a little more time with Ventus Blue and Black.  Probably will just order with the stock shaft and maybe order an additional shaft after I figure it out.  Doing the Rypstick speed training deal right now and it is increasing speed, so part of me thinks I should wait and see how much speed I pick up and whether it will translate to the course.

I just ordered a Callaway MAVRIK OS A Wedge in Senior Flex. My irons are A Flex and I have lost about 10 yards with R shaft in my current wedge.

[yankee]

I recently purchased a LH SIM2 driver off ebay.  Just the head, head cover and adapter wrench. Paid a total of $122 including shipping and tax. Took my M2 driver shaft and installed it on the SIM2. The shaft is a e42 lite Bassara. Easily fit.  But have yet to hit it. Looks great though!  Am now looking to get a 3W and Hybrid 3-4-5-6 in either women's or senior flex. My irons are Cleveland Launcher HB irons  8-PW with women lite flex shafts. My 7 is an Adams transition hybrid. I have an Adams Idea tech Gap Wedge, which I am thinking of getting rid of as I hardly use it, and when I do, don't hit it very well. I also have a Taylormade RSI graphite shafted sand wedge.

Recovering from a fractured right side of my pelvis and multiple fractured ribs from a head on accident back on December 21. Started hitting balls in my back yard and am walking about a mile daily with a cane. Hoping to be ready to play by April Fools!

Did you try it before you bought and did you see any improvements.   After hitting the 430s this year, I didn’t see any improvement over my 400 max.  If I was getting a new Ping, I would look toward the 425.  It’s loud but it seems to perform better for me, 

Yes I did and the distance is probably 5-7 yards farther, and the sound is pretty close to the G400 Max.

[Gemba2]

Maltby 8&9 iron heads and Aldila NV black 65 A flex iron shafts.   Already did the 6&7 irons as test.  7iron shaft was a 55 series.  
Replacing my 7 year old ping G’s.

I would  love to be able to bend my irons, except for the two no’s.  No money, No room!

Hi my name is Nick..... I am a golf Ho.....

I cannot afford these and really don't need them by any stretch of the imagination, but I just purchased the sexiest new set of irons on the planet. Maybe a support group or an intervention is necessary at this point? Open to suggestions.

 

Golf clubs sexy dude your fully sick lol, definitely in need of something and for $2.5k I want the dancing girls too...

So this is a very limited run that was offered to their existing client base. I think Jamie told me they are only make 500 sets in total....or something around that number. 

I am a Titleist man from driver to 58*, but I have to get these.... the custom experience is truly incredible. 

I will report back.

... It is a dream of mine to get fit by Mike for both wedges and irons. They make jaw droopingly beautiful irons and wedges. I wouldn't worry about the price and I am very fond of the truism "Money only has value if you spend it". 

[MuniGolfer]

I got two new tm mg3 wedges. My last ones were hitting the ball too high so I matched my c-tapers in x flex, but soft stepped them twice. I am also trying out drivers, so we’ll see if I find something that’s working for me.

I checked the swingweight of my Wilson Lady 7wood today and the reason I liked the feel when I had a few practice swings was it's D0, I've not actually hit any balls yet because it's raining cats and dogs but very happy the numbers are good for Otto phlex. Yeah baby..

Sorry not the best photo, try this one...

I am assuming that should read "money"......and you are EXACTLY right!

So it's not quite here _yet_ but just an fyi on small DTC company customer service... after responding pretty quickly to a pre-order email question, the next morning after ordering got an email update, "in process"; and the next morning after that another email update, "shipped" with a tracking #.

Will do....they will be shipping soon. 

 

 

[DiscipleofPenick]

DSG/GG dropped the price on the previous generation Z-Star so I got a dozen for $35. This has been my ball for a few years now and I'm not switching anytime soon. I had a gift card waiting since I got the wrong balls (XV Divide ) for Christmas

 

[ole gray]

Picked up a couple of dozen of the Maxfli Tri-Flight balls.  I had to get white as they did not have the yellow in yet.

I'd actually have a hit with it first, who knows how much difference it will make, better maybe? 

When I've move a shaft to lower/higher loft found that the grip looked ugly BUT after a few games forgot about that and hit the ball better, just a suggestion....

I tried driver out in my simulator today,  it was unpredictable, off target, and poor distance. Just like before I had new grips put on! 

I really couldn't tell a difference with the grip upside down. Just cosmetic more than anything.

Sounds like you have the Golf Ho disease. Don't feel bad, there are a lot of us around.

I don't feel too bad then- I've ONLY got 3 full sets of irons, fairway woods, 2 drivers and more putters (in various states of disrepair) than should be allowed as well as numerous different shafts for wedges/drivers/FW/Hybrids. YES there are

[ChiefMikeOfficer]

Definitely didn't need any of this... But this group is not about need. In non-ho fashion, I also sold off the only Swag putter I ever bought (immediate buyer's remorse last year), and that covered the cost of almost everything here:

LAB Link.1 (really wish I pulled the trigger on the first/intro release, but this standard one will do) with an Accra white shaft and Garsen grip. Pictured with the new Forky-themed cover from Hatch Golf, which is immediately going on my 4yo's bag, a future club ho himself:

 

And a green/gold Vessel VLX Lux:
