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

[cksurfdude]

New weight for my new driver.

Can't stop tinkering .. in my first range sesh with it, it felt maybe a hair light to me .. put a short piece of lead tape on it to add one swing weight .. took it to the range again and I think I like little bit of extra heft, to help me be more aware of where the club head is.

It’s just Ross. I have a hard time finding Large shirts there. I do better at Marshall’s or Burke (Now Beals or something like that)

I haven't been to Marshall's yet, there's one in Chattanooga and the last time I was close to it, I went to Ross. We do have a Beals here in town and haven't been there in forever. Might need to check them out.

Beal’s actually has a golf clothing section.

I did not know that. Thanks for the information, Tom! I'm definitely going to have to stop by there now.

... I think most are a little turned off by the large blade size and thicker top lines. Srixon makes great irons no doubt but setting the ZX5/7's next to J33's/MP33's would look like a night and day difference. That said, if the visuals don't bother you, hard to beat them! 

Absolute fact there are golf snobs who cant spell bogey much less play bogey golf running around bashing clubs because of quote sound and feel because they read about it on the internet or heard a buddy say it. Absolute fact number 2 I dont care if my driver sounds like a clows nose being honked if its 15 yards longer and straight down the fairway

Box of Pro V1x Left Dash...I need the spin around the greens.

Found a Ping G15 3w for $19. It needed a grip, so I had the idea to have the club fitter cut the club down 3/4" and put a Lamkin Utx grip on it.

 

I'm going to channel my inner @GolfSpy_APH and use two 3 woods.

Titleist 917 f2 is 43" set at C1, 14.25° with a fade bias. The new Ping is 42.25" 15.5° non adjustable.

I spent more on the headcover than I did on the club The cover is really high quality and part of the purchase goes to FOH, so I'm ok with it.

headcover is SHARP, let me know how hard those to get on and off the club, I dont drive a cart crazy and if the winds blowing hard enough to blow off a headcover I am not playing anyway lol. I want my headcovers to be fairly loose and easy to get back on.

I wouldn't call it loose, but not hard to get off. I'll add a photo later, but the inside is a faux-furry type material that glides easy even though it fits snug.

I like'a a'lot

Added: upon further inspection I think the inside may be lined with authentic Cookie Monster fur. Probably what drew my eye in the first place.

I've actually cancelled all I had on the eBay watching list, I was looking for a decent gap wedge and turns out I had one already a 20ish years old Mizuno T-Zoid F that suits me well. I'm going to try and find out what the specs are as I want to know why its so good, if you know plz tell me. Thanks...

Where did you find the FOH cover? I sit right by the CEO of FOH during football season and would love to show him me using the cover on the course!

[richk9holes]

Dick's Sporting Goods had them, driver fairway and hybrid, right where the Maxfli and Ping headcovers normally are. @J7Hawkins

Anyone have any idea when the driver swing speed breakdown will come out this year? Seems like it’s delayed compared to last few years. 

[MattWillGolf]

I’ve been itching to try the Fujikura Motore X F3 shaft in my G400 Max driver. I went out on eBay and bought a used shaft with a Cobra adapter ($60) and an adapter ($12) for the G400 Max. I will hit up Golf Galaxy for a grip and look to putting it all together. I will have to find a place to get the old Cobra adapter pulled as I don’t have the tools for that job.

I asked and my POC at MGS didn’t know.

My EVNRoll ER-3 needed a new cover, and this one rocks!  It came friday after i got back from an after work round.  I don't get to show it off in person until this weekend.

Can even order it online and shipped right to your house if you don’t have a dicks or GG near you: https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/cmc-design-folds-of-honor-driver-headcover-23wvzmfldsfhnrwhtaccc/23wvzmfldsfhnrwhtaccc?sku=24239509&camp=CSE:DSG_92700072942149485_lia_pla-1741690667963_58700008018780770_71700000100184026&segment=&gclid=Cj0KCQjwj_ajBhCqARIsAA37s0wYtV9DlXCUV9NEqM4U1SLmArnN8IC-59Qk1EQPTyPH3Zkz0e1HY5caAmLREALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Not sure what is going on here but I can’t stay on a page without the site crashing every 30 seconds. then when i try to come back, i can only get back to the original post I viewed and it happens again.

imon a couple different forums and this is the onlyone with the problem. I’m out until this is fixed. Take care guys, I’ll miss everyone here

Was an unplanned purchase, but already very satisfied with it. 
 

Went From:

Project X Evenflow 6.0 S - randomly broke during a round over the weekend.

To:

MCG Kai’Li 60 X

After my LGS swapped the shaft I tries it out for about 30 balls and there was a noticeable improvement in ball flight and distance. Don’t have any official yardage stats yet, but based on where I used to land on the same range, I would say a good +10yd carry!

Just ordered the PXG 0311XF 3 wood. This should complete my bag overall for the time being. The only thing I think I might try to change is 19 degree hybrid. I picked up the 0211 but might try to get the 0311. Do you all like to try to keep sets or mix and match? I have the 0211s 5i through GW and the 0311 22 hybrid. I have really like the 0211 XCOR2s irons so far and have liked the idea of having a matching hybrid/wood set of 0311s. I'll be completely honest, part of the idea of having the 0311s is that my brother's MOS in the Marines Corps was 0311 and he was killed in Iraq. Maybe not the most rational reason but it has meaning.

Sorry to hear about your bro; that's an awesome way to memorialize him. Semper Fi.

Got another putter for the collection. Really just chasing a good condition original 8802 now and I've got all the classic putters I've been looking for. 

 

Been wanting one of these since I was a kid and a mate of mine had one, always just looked like the damned coolest putter on the course. This one especially is extra special, has a single bend graphite shaft which I've never seen with these before, only ever seen the steel shaft. 

 

[Djgolf24]

I recently purchased the DivotBoard and the Flatballs. They are both training aids Will see now it works for my inconsistent ball contact.

[Josh Ross]

It finally came! Don't you just love the feeling of updating your profile signature to include those new clubs?!

Golf Mechanix’s regripping station. Great tool bit on the pricey side tho.  Makes regripping club much easier.
