... If there is one person golfers rarely if ever listen to it is ... myself.   That said, great driver and good luck with it. 

I hear ya. I’m so weak sometimes.

So a couple of weeks ago I had posted about having the opportunity to hit a coworker’s Titleist TSR3 and I really liked it. I told myself several times that I DO NOT need a new driver but, I was willing to look at getting a different shaft for my Mizuno ST-Z driver. A trip to my fitter allowed me to hit several shafts in the Mizuno and I found a couple that I liked. I went back home to ponder. The TSR3 is more than I want to spend so flash forward to today and I went back in to see about buying a shaft when my fitter pulled out a TSi3 demo with the Tensei Black 1K shaft. He told me to go hit a few before I finalized my decision. I definitely liked the feel of that setup more than just getting the shaft for the Mizuno so……I acquired the TSi3 today. I didn’t NEED a new driver.  

We never really need a new driver but definitely want it.  I’ve got 2 PXG drivers so I can’t judge
Good luck and hit it well!

There are great deals on Wilson Lauchpad 2 new heads for all hybrids and woods for $50 shipped. I just got my 7 wood in the mail and the epoxy is drying. Looks way better in person. Ill update with some pics when its dry.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/385479501401

So I paired it with a graphic designs shaft I had and the offset is attempted to be hidden, but it still is visible and a little tricky to set up. 

It is very easy to hit but really best if you slice as I tended to over draw it. It is surprisingly long for a 7 wood about 5-10 yards longer than the Adams blue and a lil longer than my Maltby Hywood 21 but I dunno if I can get past the offset and closed face at setup. Probably give to my father with a sr shaft or put on ebay. If you struggle with FW woods and tend to slice its a great club. Looks way better in person.

TSi3 is such a great driver, congrats on the purchase! When I am swinging it well it’s effortless distance and a fairway machine. Just wish I did it consistently enough!

That’s a nice club ! My son just bought one of those !

Thought we could have a thread to hear about what equipment is on everyone's mind?  Thinking about pulling the trigger on something? Waiting for a release date?  Drooling over something but just dont have the funds?  

What equipment is on your mind?

 

[aguybadatgolf]

After asking you all for advice on if I should keep playing my 3H or change to a 5W or 7W I went to a couple stores to demo some woods. Turned out that for now the hybrid is staying in my bag, just fits my yardage gap and swing better. 
 

While I was there I saw this beauty and it was too good of a deal to say no to. After hitting a few and comparing to my old ping g25 the Cobra LTDx LS is now in my bag.

Bought my first item with our club's logo:

My Edison 2.0 55-degree wedge just delivered.

Purchases were made on a soggy Saturday afternoon in Rochester, NY. Not all for me mind you.

My coaster, golf ball and 1/4 zip. The hat is for my wife's cousin, my golf godfather, who had a leg amputated last year and the towel is for a golf buddy who had a knee replacement last week.

Well done on the gifts!!  1/4 zip will be a great wear for years.

I think it's awesome you picked something up for them. I wish them nothing but the best as they recover from their injuries. I hate hearing that your wife's cousin had to have a leg amputated.

Thanks, golf is his goal. It's his motivation. His prosthetic is adorned with NY Yankees logos. He wants to start riding with me when I play so he can correct my flaws.

Thinking about picking this up from a coworker. He’s been nice enough to let me hit it for a week before I decide. Titleist U510 2-iron 18° Currently has a true temper dynamic gold s400 shaft in it but for the price he’s asking ($125) if upgrade it to a graphite design tour AD 70g shaft. As long as this fits in my gapping on the top end of my bag o think I’m going to pull the trigger. Current set up is 16.5 3-wood that go 265-270, 4H that is 225-235, and a 4-iron that I hit between 200-210. Id like to get this to go right in the 240-250 range and would be a nice fairway finder off the tee on tight holes. If anyone has opinions on this club I’d love to hear them!

[TJ Hall]

I have a 3h and 4h of these and love them…very easy to hit and accurate.  Upgraded the 3h with a graphite design shaft and gained a few extra yards with it.  If the gapping works for you, highly recommend the club!

I have the same club with a Hazurdus Smoke Black and it is a great club.  I also bought it lightly used.  It’s better than the newer U 505 in my opinion.  GD AD should be great add.

Thanks for the insight. I didn’t think I’d like the bulkier profile of the 510 over the 505 but it’s not bad and I probably will need the forgiveness anyway haha

Tomorrow is the day! Excited for my new Edison 2.0 wedges, pics will be up shortly after delivery tomorrow!

[KC Golf]

Probably should have posted this in the right spot… instead of the “thinking about” thread.

While looking at used TSR3s, found these lightly used Vokey Wedges.  So I had to get them.

The Vokeys are the SM9 52 12F and one you can only be found in Asia, the Forged Vokey in a 56 10M.  The Forged 2021 Vokey is pretty sweet.  It usually sells new at a good premium to the SM9.  I didn’t realize that Vokeys are normally just cast and then milled.  

These look hardly used which is hard to believe. Both together was less than one new Vokey SM 9.

The SM9 comes with a Nippon NS Pro 950 neo stiff shaft which is lighter than a stock DG S200 on the Vokey Forged. Never seen the Nippon shaft on a Vokey before.  Now need to put on some MCC Plus 4s before I can put them in the bag.

My wedge delivered yesterday. I played it today. I put it to good use. Got safely out of 3 bunkers and chipped rather well with it!

[richk9holes]

Idk if "bought" so much as "paid to have shipped" applies here. My demo Stealth 4h didn't come with a little hat, but luckily I remembered $40 site credit sitting from signing up for golfpass. Got this nifty cover that matches my color scheme and added a Stratus soft glove bc I wanted to try them vs. Callaway X tech. Landed at $40.98 minus the $40 credit means I paid $9.98. I could've gotten free shipping but didn't feel like signing up for text notifications from TM.

Yesterday I used a fair amount of gift certificates to land a sheet set for our new sleep number bed coming next week, very excited!

Yeah, the color compromise on gray is a little... saddening. The things we do for love, and cooler sheets so I don't sweat through our new mattress

Anything for a great night that leads to a great round of golf the next day… right?
