I bought SWMBO a C130 a couple years ago and she likes it a lot.  Way more pockets than necessary as she fills them with found balls making it extra heavy for me to get in / out of the car.  She likes the club dividers, keeps the grips from getting bound up.   Well balanced, it stands on its own very well.

I've got a few gloves tucked away as well.   Maybe you can show your wife and tell her you need more 

Tell him what Matthew McConaughey said in the Wolf Of Wall Street " those are rookie numbers, gotta pump those numbers up"

Decided to take the titleist U510 2-iron to the next level and put a graphite shaft in it to make it a true driving iron. 
 

KBS tour hybrid prototype 85/S shaft. 
 

 

Hoping to get it installed soon and have more pictures of the complete setup.

Client gave me an Amazon gift card for helping them with something so I grabbed a pair of FootJoy HyperFlex up. Borrowed a pair of FJs from the course a month or so ago when I forgot my shoes, and the pro shop was being renovated so I couldn't buy. They were way more comfortable than any of the other 6 or so pairs of Nikes that I rotate when I play.

The anticipation is killing me and i dont think it will arrive today as they initially predicted.

Understood, I get antsy watching the tracking updates myself.

I went to a Titleist fitting and ended up purchasing the 505 utility club. FedEx says its going to be delivered today but someone has to sign for it Unfortunately i have to work for a living to keep up with my golf adic..... commitment 

Also, I took the plunge and purchased a FullSwing Kit launch monitor - ready to take on the Ohio winter !

As promised here are some finished shots. Can’t wait to see how this thing performs. If it performs as good as it looks we are in business

I just bought new irons. Ping i525 6-U on KBS TGI 90S shafts. I hit these shafts a few weeks ago and have been obsessed with them. I was considering them in some P790 Blacks but a buddy has the i525 irons and they are awesome. 

[RoverRick]

I also meant to say I have a G425 3H also. The jury is still out on the 7w vs the 3H. 

[Shapotomous]

The target has been acquired and most importantly made its way to the workshop undetected!!!

[Shapotomous]

I have been thinking about moving from a 9* to a 10.5* driver since the beginning of this year.  Especially since i have the sub70 driver open a click to keep the face from looking closed to me which lowers the loft about another 0.5*.  With the swing speed down a bit this year the extra loft might help gain a few yards.

I had been watching the bay periodically for something to pop up and one finally caught my attention.  A 10.5* Ping G410 LST with a smoke 6.5 shaft that was in my price range.  

I had a G410+ before the Pro849 and liked that driver a lot.   I am glad this one is an LST to try out.

As a proud member of team questionable judgement, I think it will go right in the bag for this weeks match play round!  What could go wrong?

One of the best cart bags available.

Durable, hold more things than most will need, and the 14 way dividers are all full length, so no club tangle.

You may want to check Carl's Golfland (www.carlsgolfland) as they have some 2019 models at great prices, as well as 2023 models at reduced prices.

I am on my 2nd C-130, the first one lasted 6 years, and I only replaced it due to some sun fading the original colors.

Had to get a Garsen Max on the new Scotty. The standard Scotty grip looks great but is functionally useless to me. There is an entire review out there with me singing the praises of these grips, so I’ll spare you that.

I went with the Tour version for this one. The primary differences are the solid color scheme or lack of one, and the grip is smooth and somewhat tacky. I am excited to get some putts rolling with this combo!

[GaDawg]

Just could not resist. Yes, I am a golf ho!

Alan, I have two of the  Sun Mountain C130 golf bag s. One is about 5 years old which I use in the winter and the other one is 2 years old that I use the rest of the year. I love mine, excellent storage and great bags. There are a lot of reviews online that can help with your decision.

Was a good mail week for me this week! Two new pairs of Primo golf joggers for my birthday and a pair of AirPod Pro 2s.

This looks great. Looking for auto hearing how it works for you.  

I switched my Scotty to a Super Stroke (I am familiar with) this year and it’s been a big plus to SG putting according to Arccos.  I agree the Pistolini grips look great, but not sure it works for me either.

Rolled some putts on the mat last night. An immediate improvement over the OEM grip. The Max is big enough that it quiets my hands in the stroke without being so big I lose all feel.

Bought it for yourself since no one read the review in detail

This is somewhat accurate. I definitely need to edit that part out prior to the recap getting posted on the big site.

After the community call I thought about doing it but didn’t want to take advantage of your generosity.

Appreciate that. I had genuinely hoped someone would stumble upon it while reading the review, but here we are…

The latest addition to my bag isn't necessarily something I bought, but was more of a gift from my friend who works in a golf warehouse. He told me a while back that they had some extra G425 3 Hybrid heads in stock and asked if I wanted one. I had been using a Titleist 913H for a few years now and it felt like time for an upgrade.

He sent me the head a few weeks ago and I was working on sourcing a decent shaft from Facebook marketplace. I found a HZRDUS RDX Smoke Red Hybrid shaft with a Ping tip already included. Felt like a perfect fit for what I was looking for. Only problem (I soon found out), was that the Ping tip attached was actually specifically for the new iCrossover driving iron and not a traditional hybrid. That detail was conveniently left out when I purchased it from the seller...

Anyways my friend who gave me the hybrid head is the real MVP and sent out a couple Tensei hybrid shafts for me to choose from. He sent a Tensei Blue CK 80HY S and a Tensei Orange CK 80HY S. I tried out both but could tell right away that the Blue shaft felt like the right one for me and my game.

So long story short I have a brand new G425 Hybrid with a Tensei Blue shaft. See pictures attached and specs in my signature below!

Picked up a new flatstick the other day.  Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K Triple Wide with Stroke Lab shaft.  Put a SuperStroke Pistol GT Tour grip on as well.

This was a bit of a splurge; I was pretty happy with the White Hot OG Double Wide I was already gaming.  But, I made the mistake of rolling a few and couldn't get over the feel and stability.  I love the blade-like look in a face-balanced putter.

A new 5W.

Was looking around at different clubs online (including Tour Edge, Cleveland, Wilson, 2nd Swing, CPO, ...) and saw Callaway Golf dropped the price of the '23 Great Big Bertha ...  so one is on the way with a Kai'Li Red shaft and the price further reduced with trading in a few older, unused fairways.

fyi - Callaway / Pre-Owned offer a UPS return shipping label for only $4.99

This is going to replace a Cleveland Hy-Wood which, after a very very brief honeymoon, does not seem to be working well for me (in this case it's the club and not the golfer ).

Have gone a little crazy recently. Got these after some testing 

then I stumbled on this used for a good deal

Guess this means the basically Mizuno S18 I got not to long ago will be going on sale but it was just a little low bounce for me. Then finally I came across a new Calloway Jaws Raw 58 degree X grind for $45 off retail that I couldn’t pass up that’s on the way. Now I am on the search for a 54 degree to go with the 58. 

[EMacK1961]

I went a little crazy and bought 3 new clubs. A SnakeEyes 60 degree wedge with 8 degrees of bounce, a Cleveland Cero slant putter, and a used Wilson D9 4 hybrid with a stiff shaft went into the bag. Since the purchase, my percent of one putts is up, my greenside approaches are closer, and my grouping of shots is smaller with the hybrid. So I’d say good investment.

[Vegan_Golfer_PNW]

Got a shipping notice for my PGH shaft I won. With aeration season arriving it’s great timing for some equipment tinkering and adjustments
