Should be interesting with your Takomo iron test. Players distance irons are all about high launch low spin lol

Yeah, I am interested to see. You never know how it will work for different people. Irons are a bit of a conundrum for me. I am not the ball striker I used to be and want more forgiveness.  But what makes an iron more forgiving also launches it higher and I already have enough of that. I am #s nerd and always want to reach perfection, haha. But deep down at my level I know even if it is a little higher launch and lower spin. As long as I have the correct landing angle the ball will stop on the green.

I love reading things like this.

Bought some 2023 Prov1x balls to compare against Maxfli Tour balls. Did a quick unscientific comparison between the two on BLP launch monitor. Prov1x definitely showed a bit more spin and peak height. We are talking maybe 200 to 500 more rpm spin and maybe 5 feet more peak height. Better ball for my game, will take any extra spin and peak height that i can get.

I went to the other golf store here in Augusta today, Edwin Watts, because I was at Home Depot which is right next door. I still needed to figure out what putters I liked and they had some other ones plus a larger putter space 

Well they had a great deal, US ebay shipping is like 12-15, at 29.99 for this Cleveland TFI 1.0 2135 blade putter. It wasn't the #1 hitter for me but rest were like new prices. I got this at max range for an easy 2 put every time.

Also it had an Alabama Super Stroke grip, I am a grad and a fan of the school since a kid, that plus lefty club and price was just meant to be.

... Good stuff but for more fun you might want to try the Maxfli Tour X compared to the Prov1x and you may find them closer in spin and peak height.

Look what finally showed up this week!!! I was able to get one round in with them before all the nasty weather. God I love these clubs! Now I just need a couple shiney new wedges to match my shiney new irons and I’ll be ready to rock.

Wish I could buy those, that's what I call sexy lol...

Last thing I bought was Cleveland RTX3 56 & 60 wedges on clearance at Academy sports for $42ea

[aplynam]

Finally took the plunge with Sub 70.  Bought the 699 V2 Pros and the 949X Pro 5 hybrid. The hybrid is amazing and worthy of its My Golf Spy praise.  The irons are a tad bit longer than my PXG 0311 Gen 1s, but the stronger lofts attest to that. Played 9 with them in the first outing.  I was not striking well but managed a two over 38.  Much tighter dispersion with the Sub 70 699s than my PXGs.

Recently bought a few things, spent more money than I probably should have but I think I’m convincing myself it was an “investment”?

anyways… recently picked up a sim 5wood to replace my 19 degree hybrid, definitely worth it to me. It has been a solid 240 club for me, great “fairway finder” off the tee and has been great off the fairway, pretty stoked on that purchase

 

purchase 2&3 was the Rapsodo mlm2 and rukket spdr net, also love this “investment”. The Rapsodo is incredibly accurate, I would say I know my distances pretty well and the numbers coming off the unit fall right in that window. Also, net was very easy to set up.

2022 Cobra LTDx Max driver. Lightly used. 

[Bob.m.sullivan]

New miura 502 irons with fujikura axiom 125x shafts 5-pw. Cleveland RTX black 50° and tour rack raw 54° and 58° (dg s400 shafts in the new wedges). All that shop credit was wiped out but the set sure is pretty.

A Tour Edge E723 driver.  Like it but I'm still  looking for a shaft to make it better.

[Richard Wise]

I purchased a Lefty Rogue ST Max 10.5 Driver from Callaway Preowned and it was at my doorstep in less than 48 hours. That is service, thanks to Brian McDufee.

[ButchE]

had to replace my fav towel... I HATE losing anything, especially an irreplaceable item like a monogrammed towel from a now differently named course. I was a sweet Club Glove USA caddy towel. dang it...

Hot Metal Pro!  6 - Gap, 50, 54, 58.!

I recently purchased a 56 degree wedge.  Although I have a 56 degree wedge, it has 14 degree bounce and about every time I try to pitch with it, or hit it out of the fairway I skull the ball.  I purchased a 10 degree bounce in hopes of eliminating the problem.

I also bit on one of those freebie offers and got a 21 degree fairway or hybird.  I'm not exactly sure what it is, although I was supposed to be a getting a putter to try.  I took it to the range yesterday, and it's not a bad club.  I didn't really need it, or another putter, but a freebie is a freebie and too good to pass up!

I’ve been playing the original CBX wedges (54&58 DG steel) for a long time, and decided to upgrade. I mentioned a few days ago that I ordered a CBX Zipcore 52* with a Rotex shaft and a 58* RTX Zipcore with DG Spinner.

I’m playing irons now with a 46* set AW, so I figured I would try a 46-52-58 wedge setup. My AW is my 100 yard club, and my CBX 54 goes about 75-80. I bought the 52 hoping for 85-90 yards?
They haven’t arrived yet, and I’m already second guessing myself. The 58* would be used almost only out of bunkers (ours are very hard packed, so I got the low bounce 6* version) and now I’m worried about not having a full swing club I trust with more than 52* loft…

I use my 54* for full swings and longer bunker shots, so my question is, does the 52-58 thing make sense, or would I be better off with 52-56 (I would feel confident hitting a full shot with the more versatile 56-10) or just going 54-58 again and hitting 3/4 shots with my set AW?

I would love to hear your opinions and advice with this, and telling  me about your setup and why you chose it would be helpful also. Thanks in advance guys!

Just purchased a Pyramid Mallet 35 inch putter. 

[Mikedb26]

Always wanted a simple SeeMore putter, Dallas Golf had a sale, picked one up.  Wow is it jumpy compared to my EvnRoll, very hot face for me.  It'll be a decent backup, just have to get used to it.

Would love to hear more as to what you think about the MLM2 pro!

Just picked up a pair of FJ Dry Joy Premier-Wilcox(white/blue/black) on Ebay for under $190. The shoes are exceptional!

[rjacobs4]

A “used” Ping G425 #4 Hybrid that came brand new and an Alphard V2 with a Rovic RV1S cart so k have a hood remote control cart set up.

[jimbuffalo]

The last thing I bought is a Shot Scope V5 system. I've only played 3 rounds with is so far but it has been on the money in showing me the yardage and keeping my score.
