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

When you want to do a new putter build, you need to start with a putter head.   Wanted to build a blade style putter with a graphite shaft of some kind.   Probably in late 2000s I played a center shafted Sizemore putter which I liked but obviously like other putters that I have used I moved on to try other things.   While looking I ran across a Bruce Sizemore putter that is from his new company (More Golf) at a price that I was willing to pay.   It arrived yesterday and it is exactly what I was looking for:  More Golf Render blade putter with Oban stepless steel putter shaft and JumboMax 1.2 grip.  Based on rolling a few carpet putts it feels a little head heavy and the ball seems to be hot off the face.  Both are good traits since I am thinking about maybe counterbalancing the putter to get more weight under my hands.   The face of the putter is definitely unique;  it feels like fine grit sandpaper.  

Anyway,  a what you bought post is useless without pictures:

Love this. Has me motivated to look into building a mallet to my own design and specs and see how it performs. Time to do some digging.

Hey everyone, wanted some advice. I have been playing golf now for the last two years. I have been using the Calloway Edge set from Cosco. 

I am currently a 21 HC per 18 Birdies. I play once a week usually, at minimum once every two weeks. For the last 6 months, I consistently score between a 93-97. Got a new PR of 90 the other day! 

My question -- is it worth upgrading my Edge set? I got fitted for a AI Smoke Driver and AI Smoke Irons/G430 Irons (toss up between the two per my fitter).

Thank you in advance for the guidance!

If you are serious about improving your game then improving your equipment is always a good decision. And no, the spending of money in pursuit of a better golf game doesn’t end. Ever…

So true!

@nc23nick if you trust feel you can improve with new clubs, then go for it!

But since you mentioned slices and hooks, perhaps using some of that potential purchase towards a couple of lessons for driver and some lessons for irons?

New clubs may not be the answer.  Or split the difference, get a new driver that can be adjusted to your needs, and lessons on all the clubs to gain some insight to your issues.

Welcome to MGS,  glad to have ya aboard!

Asking a group of golfers if you should get new clubs is like asking a dog if they want walkies

 

For the record I tell my dog it's time for a walk and she runs and hides from me and the leash! After 3 years I finally started saying you want to go for a walk when she misbehaves and she stops in tracks now.

First world industry problems... last Friday I see a rep that I don't see often and mention their putters after I used one off the rack for a putting contest and did very well with it. Made 5 of 6 including last 4 in a row from 12/13 feet.

He says here give me your info and fill this out. And now less than a week later I have one of these on the way for a price I couldn't pass up. These reps know I'm weak and like new shiny things.

Every time I see one of the Mizuno putters pop up I have to lock my wallet up before I accidentally order one. They're absolutely gorgeous

Ohhh lord.....I need to update my signature block for sure........bought lately:

PXG 0311P Gen 6 irons (fitted in Atlanta)

PXG 0311 XF Gen 6 3wood and 7wood

PXG Black ops driver (fitted in Atlanta)

Hackmotion

Seriously contemplating buying a set of RAM FTX irons. Read a few of the testing on here. I currently play Mizuno MP-53 that are “experienced”.

Where is the brolly meant to go? What's meant to go in there? I did manage to get my putter and brolly in there without too much if a squeeze

That umbrella was a waste of money, You will never use it in the UK.

I see them everyday and say no but I am only human and finally gave in. Now I have to try and do the same with Titliest! It never stops and I don't need any new clubs!

With golf clubs, there is no difference between need and want!

Ok so we did it , we upgraded the irons. I had to travel a couple hours to go get them but we found a set of lefty Calloway Fusion wide soles at a price I could accept . Excited to hit the range and see what happens next. I've gotten the handicap down to 16 I am ready for single digits.

Were you fitted for them? They look great. Why the XF 3 and 7 woods? You like the 0311 T over the 0311 P?

I played the ‘53’s a few years back….really loved the feel but had a Senior shaft so I dumped them.

Took my Vice cart bag to the Luggage Service Center  in Tampa yesterday.  That’s where the airlines send your damaged luggage for warranty work. Anyway I had two broken zippers to be repaired. Cost was $75. This was the 4th golf bag I have had repaired by them over the years.

That is gorgeous. Still loving my Sizemore Sb2 with UST Freq Filtered shaft. Are they special order only?

 

Edit: Just checked their site. Interesting stuff. My head seems to be the current Endure shape. I did see the more head in person and its definitely unique and intricate.

Bought these gems a few weeks ago in Boise. So far a big fan of the Ping icrossover and even a bigger fan of the Idaho Vandal bag. I'm getting so excited for football season right around the corner. 

[Mdrnsamurai]

picked up this mint set of Mizuno MP-32's the other day off of eBay...

absolute works of art...

I already have a set but Florida has put some wear on them... excited to take them out in the future...
