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

[Erin B]

Yesterday I ordered new irons from New Level Golf https://newlevelgolf.com/ 

I cannot wait till they get here!!! Ordered the 902 PDs 5-PW 1* flat, 2* strong, mated with Project X IO 6.5 shafts at 3/4" over standard. LFG!!!

Thought about SuperSpeed Training?

I have The Stack not super speed.  So I cant speak at all to that one.

As I have only done the initial baseline session, I cant really give a definitive conclusion just yet.  I will say though the baseline set was only ~34 swings total.  I am a little sore today so it did do something.  Now multiply that over several weeks?  If anything I wont lose any of my swing tone from the summer during this winter.

Not a purchase for me but my daughter has decided (again) that she wants to play golf in high school so I got her a set from Wilson. Good place to start and we will build on it from here. Also get to put my teaching hat on again and hope her swing is as good as it was two years ago when she was still playing regularly.

I don’t think you are a sucker, let us know how it works and what you get your swingpseed up to. 

As someone who is starting the Squeeze protocol and will be doing an unofficial review, I hope to have an intro post about this weekend; I will vouch for it so far as a good aid.

Would be curious to read your thoughts. I have been using the speed system for several years now and start back at it again on Monday now that I have an offseason.

I'm hoping to put it through full paces for the month or so at a minimum to see what the gains are, and as someone who mentioned during my test of SuperSpeed that I sometimes had trouble with grip control, I'm really interested in seeing how it works.

First blush, I know @cksurfdude said he jerry-rigged a version with pipe insulation, but this doesn't feel like that, it's a firm plastic molding. When I start the thread I'll try to make you feel what it feels like.

Just be aware that they can be very heavy and put your swingweights off (especially in the white color for some reason).

Apparently since I have been away a PGA Superstore opened within 15 minutes of my house. Good news for routine club building supplies and bad news since I impulse bought a putter today. The LAB Mezz Max broomstick is just such an easy putter to roll and I have window shopped long enough. Love my Toulon Frankenstein putter but not sold that I could play any meaningful competitive round with a short putter. Planning to give one last run at the USGA this year with the Mid Am in VA.

Just opened this guy up. I've been perusing the SC website for a while and they have been out of stock, it showed as available the other day so I snagged one. I already have an entire pouch full of divot tools, but this one looked too friggin' sweet to pass up. Who knows/cares how it actually works, this thing looks like it'll put some pretty nice holes in my leather seats when I forget to take it out of my pocket!

I love this Divot tool!  At one point, I had three of them, but through attrition down to my last one.  It’s great!

I own a couple of these. Have had them for years.

Very nice looking divot tool!

Be careful… You could put your eye out with that!!

Just picked up a Axis1 Rose putter with a FlatCat grip.  I have been having trouble keeping my putter face square so I thought I'd give this combo a try.  Picked one up for only $279 on eBay.  Used but looks brand new!

With the announce of the Mizuno 245, a couple of used-club resellers have been liquidating their 225 inventory on Ebay, which allowed me to pick up a very clean Mizuno Pro 225 3 iron for $65. So once everything arrives, my combo set will be 225 from 3-5, and 223 from 6-P. Might need to get @dlow206 to reshaft the 4 and 5 with $-Tapers to match my 223s.

Any suggestions for a shaft for the 3 iron as a driving iron? I'm looking for something graphite over 100g, currently looking at MMT, LAGP L-Series, or Axiom. Or should I just stick with what works in the $-Taper?

I bought a new Wilson putter that was on offer at American golf. I love the feel of the bigger grip 

[mikeanthony]

Switched out my whole bag for the GP Tour Velvet +4 Midsize … huge difference in comfort and cannot get over that they were only $6.50 at DSG. Irons were solid on Sunday, but the woods were def an adjustment. 

Was part of the testing group last season for the Lamkin UTX reviews … got along with them very well for much of the year, especially during the summer months, but could not get along with them during cold winter golf.

I bought the version that has the clip attached but havent used it yet.

I've recently re-gripped the two putters I've used the last 2 years. First, I swapped out the thinner pistol grip that came standard on my Odyssey DFX #7 for the red midsized Winn grip below. Besides being a bit thicker, the thing I like most is that it's of uniform width all the way down. I've only gotten to play once since I made the switch thanks to winter setting in, but I made an uphill 35 footer on the first hole, so there might be something there.

Additionally, I decided to go through a similar process with my old Odyssey White Hot OG 1. In addition to swapping out the old pistol grip for the thicker Lamkin seen below, I cut it down from 35 inches to 33.5. I haven't gotten to take it outdoors yet, but that setup feels great in the living room lab!

I bought ferrules and grips over the weekend.  I’m looking to buy a set of new level 902os.  I’m trying to wait and see if they go on sale like the 902pd did.  I already contacted new level and I can send them the ferrules and the grips and they will use them.  They will also special order my shafts for me KBS TGI for a 50 dollar fee.  Pretty cool, I already have a set of irons…but…

Hearing all the MSG Ai One reviews, I had to get this putter in my hands. After 3 days of testing on the practice green, I hit every Ai One they had in stock. Both standard and milled felt really good, with the milled felling a bit more "poppy".  I tested the toe and heel hits several times. The crazy thing, I noticed about 8-10" in total variance between toe, center and heel strikes.  I've decided to put the Scotty on the rack and settled on the Odyssey Ai One Milled Three T 35".

 Nice choice. When you get a chance, post some photos, as we like that sort of thing.

They are coming out with replacements for 902pd and os in March from what I saw on instagram.  They just released two irons yesterday.

Congrat on the new putter. Yes, we golfers like eye candy!

First purchase of 2024. 
I picked this up while traveling. C$98 all in. Pretty sweet price.

MG3 was a top rated MGS wedge so eager to get it in the bag for the weekend.  

I used to play TM wedges so this should be familiar. Did pick up something with more bounce (12 vs 8 or 10) to see if it would be better out of the bunkers and around the greens. Also slightly lighter shaft that matches my current irons. At this price it’s a great experiment.
