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

[KOG]

I got a few things. 

First hopped on the Exotics driver sale and got a c722 driver w ventus blue for $150 which upped my carry average 10 yds. Love this driver.

Also grabbed a Wilson D9 7 wood I got a great deal on and very easy to hit and nice on the eyes

and finally bit the bullet and dropped a little cash on a Sun Mountain c130 Bag and so glad I did. I got the two years ago version on sale from Carls golfland for $180 and its fantastic for a cart and so stable.

Put the Ping Anser back in.. Still my fav Ping Hybrid

Finally regripped all clubs with Iomic Sticky 2.3

Got a 3 pm tee time.. 

Cheers!

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

L.A.B. putters just look so insanely well made. Even the headcovers look incredible

Thinking of getting a new golf bag. Any go to recommendations? I currently have a strata bag that I got from a friend that I've been using for 2 years and it does the job but looking for something else. I mostly ride in a cart for all my rounds but wouldn't mind walking 9 once in a while as I continue to get better. I've been looking at getting the Seed SD-27 The Looper Eco Stand Bag or PUMA x Volition Stand Golf Bag. I'm open to all suggestions but would like to have it be a stand bag. Thanks, 

ps Dont know if this is the right post to send this on

There is a thread called “what equipment are you thinking about?” that might yield better results in terms of feedback. However the beauty of this forum, is that there are few rules when it comes to posting questions such as these and most folks will answer if they see them.

i recently bought a Jones Trouper R stand bag and so far, I absolutely love it. It is lighter than the previous Titleist stand bag I had and the pockets are all well thought out and functional. Plus, the design is really appealing: 

As an aside, there is going to be another group buy for forum members, where you can get this bag in the color of your choice for $175, rather than the normal $280 retail price. @GolfSpy BOS can give you more details, if you are interested. Welcome to the forum!

I'll add to this, absolutely stunning option, by saying I was kinda in love at first site with the staff bag from @GolfSub70 

https://www.golfsub70.com/sub-70-golf-staff-bag.html

Their stang bag is $169.99 I think, just noticed that part of the post.

That looks so good! One of the things I like about L.A.B. is the quality and precision it appears they put into their product. That headcover looks amazing! 

I'm looking forward to hearing how it rolls for you!

Thank you @cksurfdude I appreciate it. And thank you for mentioning the EGA shop. I wasnt familiar with it. I think I've recently felt more of a need to be more proactive because my mom who was very proactive and promoted my brother was murdered Christmas morning 2019. So now I guess I've been going a little harder with it than I have previously.

I’ve been wanting a lightweight hoodie for golf and over Memorial Day weekend the folks at No Laying Up offered a $10 coupon on purchases of $50 or more. I do enjoy the NLU podcast so I picked up one navy blue. And they threw in a 10 pack of bamboo tees.

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.

I mix and match. I was gaming the Gen 1 0211 irons until being selected to test the Paradym X irons for the forum. I bought the 0211 19 degree hybrid last year when it was discounted to make way for the next generation of the lineup then purchased a Gen 5 0311XF 3 wood after they released the Gen 6 family. I’m extremely happy with the hybrid and 3 wood.

An early Father's Day present for me and a belated Mother's Day one for SWMBO. 

For me:

And a New LA Golf Bel Air putter for her (wish they made them in a lefty orientation for me)

p.s. did ya notice the MGS virtual tournament tag on my bag 

[GolfSpy_BEN]

As I wrap up testing for the Garsen MAX, and after hitting a couple thousand putts over the last month with the 3 putters I own, it only makes sense that I bought this: 

It will be joining the stable on Saturday

Agreed, they have great options. I'm trying Q Star tour currently to see if I want a softer compression around the greens and $35 doz in DSG was fine. My dad wants to try slightly firmer than the Bridgestone e12 contact he plays so I gave him a sleeve. He commented on how cheap the Srixion soft feel is, $23.99 doz and with Bridgestone raising price recently he is shopping around. I gave him a bunch of found balls to see if he likes one. I think TM soft response might fit him, but also the soft feel.

I have played both Q Star Tour and BS e12 extensively.  To me, the feel of both are very similar and distance about the same.  But based in a test I saw, e12 won’t hold a green as much as the Q.  The e12 under identical conditions ran out much further.  The Q is a 3 piece urethane and the e12 has a proprietary cover.  I have since exclusively played the Q.

Recently picked up a MLM2 from Dick's website. Only have two days under my belt with it but for someone who spends everyday fitting and using a GCQuad, the Rapsodo puts up excellent numbers for such a lower priced launch monitor. I haven't had any problems with it yet as far as losing progress mid round or connection issues, but I have read that it can become a problem. Hopefully getting it now after they have pushed out a few bug fixes and updates I won't have any problems. 

[GolfSpy SAM]

So, this is not something I'm buying, but figured I'd put these here, as they are an INSANE deal if you're in the market for a set of quality irons.

https://www.hurricanegolf.com/cobra-king-mim-tour-iron-set.html

https://www.hurricanegolf.com/cobra-king-tour-copper-iron-set.html

The Chrome set is available in those settings only (RH, Reg Flex, KBS C-Taper Steel), and the Copper only as RH, Stiff, KBS C-Taper Steel, but if those happen to fit you, this is the lowest price I've ever seen for some of the best-reviewed irons on this site.  Members who've played them pretty much universally rave about them. 

Just thought I'd get you all to drool over them like I am right now

Finally got around to ordering a mat for my garage sim. Just a thick cheap one for the moment, until I can get a Sigpro Softy.

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. 

 

My dad had one of these when I was first getting into golf(about 10 yrs ago). It is still the coolest looking putter in my opinion. He switched to a Odyssey 3 ball... guess he likes being outside the box LOL. But I still have the big bertha putter and it reminds me of the early days of getting into golf for me. Thanks for sharing.

Jealous! Always loved those irons. I wanted a set of those back in high school so badly.

Funny, you should ask that…

[Subdiver1]

These arrived while I was out of town last week. Looking forward to trying them soon. Definitely comfortable, and just putting them on and walking around a bit they feel solid and stable.

[Bang60]

Callaway Warrior 5wood firm graphite shaft, been in the shed probably 2 years and decided to put it in the bag for fun. Drop kick off a small red tee and ball went straight hit it off the fw skinny an yeah ball went straight? I bought the set 1-3-5 more than 2 years back as a spare set because there clean and $20 each, tried driver and 3wood ok but not good enough to stay in my bag but anyone want to guess WHY the 5wood is so good?

[TylorJudd]

These irons did just show up, lost my head cover for my 2ball 10 so was able to find this pretty cool OEM cover for it! 

[DRLEONARD58]

So this happened this morning after a couple of trips to the PGA Superstore to test things out...

Now to constantly check my texts/emails on when this thing goes into production!
