I just called Callaway yesterday and purchased a Gap Wedge to finish off my bag. Hopefully this was the right club as I have now 5- PW,AW,GW,SW for irons!🤔🙈

Class!!!! I am currently always on ebay or FB marketplace for a new putter or wedges 

Got fittings next week so waiting for the recommendations, Hybrid and 3 Wood are going to be swapped for the G410 range as they are cheaper but still so forgiving 

 

P.J.Marshall

PING G425 MAX 9°

TaylorMade M2 (2017) 3 wood

TaylorMade M2 (2017) 3 Hybrid

Stealth Irons 4-PW

SM6 52 + 58

Odyssey 2 Ball Blade (currently looking at other putters)

Either Srixon AD333 or TM Tour Response Stripe

Hi, my name is Mike, and I'm a club ho. It's been only two days since my last club delivery... and then this one showed up like 3 weeks early. 

Did I need a new putter? No. Did I even try it before buying it? Also no. Is it going to be my last putter purchase this year? (Probably) No. Ok, so which putter are you getting rid of now that you have this new one? It doesn't work that way...

Got the AI-One Cruiser Jailbird. For no reason at all, other than...I want one. Resisted the temptation to buy those special release versions after Rickie and Wyndham called so much attention to them, but caved on the AI-One. And it's niiice - only hit a few putts on the BirdieBall so far, but early signs point to it being in this year's rotation.

Yes, yes, yes . . . welcome to CHA (Club Ho's Anonymous).  Now that you have admitted your problem, feel free to join a local CHA chapter.

I too am somewhat of a club ho as I currently have 4 sets of irons.  Can't seem to bring myself to put 1 or 2 of the sets up for sale.  Yes, I have a problem.

My weapons of choice:

Driver: :ping-small: G430 Max 10.5

5 Wood: :ping-small: G430 Max

7Wood: :cobra-small: King F9 SpeedBack

Hybrid: :PXG: 0211, 19-degree

Irons 1: :srixon-small: ZX5, 5-GW

Irons 2: :PXG: 0211 XCOR2, 5-GW

Wedges: :vokey-small:  SM9, 52 F8 & 56 S10

Putter: :taylormade-small: Spider FCG #3 Mallet

I’m curious why you have 1 LH putter in the lineup???

You just beat me to this question! Why the one leftie?

Because a club ho does not discriminate.

 

Nah, it's somewhere buried in older posts in this thread, but we found out the youngest (just turned 3) is a lefty, so I decided to pick up a partial set to learn alongside him - so far have a Driver, 7i, 2 wedges, and a putter. Basically going RH/natural for typical practice/play, but when I go to the range with him, I'm bringing the LH sticks. Secondary, more spiteful reason -- have a buddy that's LH that just bought a lifetime membership at a local course, and he claims he's going to beat me this year because of it...so my new goal is to beat him LH vs. LH 😂 

Driver: :taylormade-small: Stealth Plus 8* (adjusted to 8.75*), Mitsubishi Diamana ZF 70 X Flex (New toy incoming!)

Fairway: :taylormade-small: Stealth2 Plus, 15* (adjusted to 14.25*) w/ Graphite Design Tour AD-IZ 7X

Irons:  :titleist-small: U505 1 Iron (16*), T200 "Utility Build" 3 and 4 irons, all with Graphite Design Tour AD-IZ 95 X Flex, :titleist-small: T100S 5-9 with Nippon Pro Modus 120 X Flex (2021 MGS Test). These things are monsters. 

Wedges:  :vokey-small: SM9 46.10, 54.12, and 58.08, all with custom etchings & KBS Tour Masters-themed shafts, X-flex (CHA Post)

Putter: Total headcase and Putter Ho. Down to two main options in the rotation (one mallet, one blade), but have 4-5 by the basement putting green that might make it in the bag at some point this year... Mallet: :L.A.B.: Mezz XL 36" Orange; Blade: :L.A.B.: Link.1 w/Accra White shaft & :garsen: grip

Love it!  We took our kids to play putt putt and my little one (6) will randomly hit from either side, I guess whichever is convenient for her.  She actually putted better LH.

Good luck with beating your buddy playing LH.

I normally play LH, have played a short 6 hole course RH…parred the very first hole.  Hit a giant slice, but it was consistent each time…maybe I should consider switching how I play regularly???

You buy tees yearly? I haven't bought tees in over 10 years! Haha.. I was able to keep one plastic tee for almost a year before I lost it. But I also only play 18-36 holes a month. On a good month, I'll play up to 4 full rounds. I'm mostly a weekend back 9 player.

This topic has made me laugh.  When my father passed away in 1996.  We found shoeboxes full of tees in the garage (along with garbage cans full of found balls!).  Many of the tees had cracks in them …

Me - ‘Why did dad save these?’

Brother - ‘For a par 3 … duh!’ 🤪😜

Like many, I haven’t bought a tee in years and used the same Martini Tee for 200+ rounds last year until it somehow disappeared?!?

Well, I’ll say that’s a good start!!🤪😜 I’m ashamed to admit how many putters are kicking around my house (and now my son’s house)!!  I will say that the L.A.B. MEZZ.1 MAX has really tamed my ‘wandering eye!’  But, my pro did just get a Jailbird Cruiser in and I pick it up every time I’m in the shop!!  The thing is sweet!

I’ve always been fascinated by 7 woods. What is the intended use for high lofted fairway woods? I’ve only ever gamed a 3 wood and a 3 hybrid so genuinely curious what people use them for.

decided on the Bettinardi BB56 - found a good deal on 2ndswing
I remember when this putter was in the store and trying it and really liking it at the time. Always been a fan of Bettinardi putters and think they're in that same elite class as Scotty.

Reasons I like it:
loft is 2 degrees and I was fit into that exact loft (I will need to get the lie adjusted when I get it)
toe hang is 1/8 - not quite face balanced - and coming from playing blades for the last several years the transition should be smoother
does not fall open or closed at address; I've seen this happen before with putters and it's very frustrating.
the COG is raised above the center of the ball and that along with the 2 degrees of loft should help put a smoother roll on the ball
as you can see - it's pretty easy to aim and there's a high MOI and forgiveness

Never was interested until this year when I struggled with 3/4 irons.   This will replace my long irons and way more forgiving.  They go high and hold a green better than a hybrid for most people.

I used to play a 3 hybrid for my 250 yard club but I hit it very low and fairly inconsistently. Now I play a Ping G430 7w at 19.5* and it will hold a green at about 245. Perfect for what I need.

I just bought another Lagshot 7 iron. I've had one before and I did feel like it helped, but not enough to make a difference. Lately I've been having some tempo issues on course. On the range it's no problem but i must be getting rushed on the course so I grabbed one on clearance. I do find that they are pretty useful

I might need to consider a 7w for myself in the future based on my experience with my current 3 hybrid that is brand new. (Wife probably doesn't want to hear that I need a new club😂)

I also struggled going between a fairway swing, an iron swing, and a hybrid swing. They just didn't mesh for me. I hit fairways much better
