Getoffmylawn Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Just burned a bunch of DSG gift cards I was sitting on and picked up a 60 degree SM9 M Grind in Jet Black, and a 54 degree SM9 S Grind in Jet Black. Promptly took them across town to a local club builder to have my gamer Steelfiber i110's put in them, have the 54 bent to 55 and the 60 bent to 59. (Yes, I know what that does to the bounce.) I also took my irons in to have them all re-gripped and have the swing weight issues I posted about in another thread fixed. I'll update that thread as well. Pics soon. cksurfdude, Rickp, ejgaudette and 4 others 7 Quote Driver: TSR2, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: TSR2 3w, 15, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Hybrids: Apex Pro 3H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Stealth DHY 4H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Irons: JPX 919 Forged 5-GW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Wedges: SM9 54 S Grind bent to 55, 60 M Grind bent to 59, Aerotech Steelfiber i110 Stiff Putter: White Hot OG Double Wide, Stroke Lab shaft Ball: Pro V1 Click here for my HONMA TR20 Official Review!

MrBandit Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Well, after years of go no go.. I have made the switch from my Mizuno MMC MP-18 to Mizuno Pro 225 with Nippon Modus 105. Should have them by next week. Looking forward to starting new season with new sticks.. Hopefully my game doesn't go to the crapper.

Popular Post edingc Posted December 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2022 Rounded up a bunch of stuff that had been sitting in my basement and sent that away for some cash. Thought I'd probably use the money to hop on the new Callaway driver once it's released, but instead found a really good deal on Mercari for a used Golfsmith loft/lie machine and stand. Basically got the stand and shipping for free versus buying the equivalent model on Golfworks. One of our local shops charges $40 or $45 to loft/lie check/adjust irons and I always put it off.

TylorJudd Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I was this close to buying a rogue max triple diamond LS as a demo model this year from my local shop, they wanted $549 used and Callaway sells at $499 new... So I bought from Callaway. Really wanted to support my local club but just couldn't swing it. See what I did there MattF, GolfSpy_APH, Bang60 and 1 other 4 Quote I like golf. You should like golf.

Syks7 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Less of a buy and more of a made -- though I did buy all the components at some point. Long story short I saw an add for a shorty club you can swing indoors and thought 'that would take me 10 minutes to make' from what I have lying around. I'm also figuring that it's better actual feedback for me than the back scratcher I occasionally swing in front of my wife's full length mirror. Voila!!! Another thing that I can irritate my better half with. She's looking at me like I'm the weirdest man alive right now as I walk around the house with it. I suspect she thinks I made it for our toddler. cksurfdude, MattF, Bang60 and 2 others 4 1 Quote Driver 0211 -- Tensei AV Raw Blue75 Hybrids C722 -- 2&3 hybrid Ventus Blue 8S Irons Z585 4/PW -- TT Elevate Tour Wedges T22 47°, 52°, & 58° -- TT Elevate Tour Putter Innovai 6.0 CTR Ball Zstar Diamond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vandyland Posted December 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2022 I didn’t buy but I got (from my father) his old set of ping eye 2 BeCu 3-PW. They need new grips but otherwise seem to be in good shape. Pretty jazzed about taking them for a spin, though I think the ZZ lite shafts are fairly stiff (goes against my otto-phlex experiment).

GolfSpy_APH Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Bidding completes tomorrow for the ping i E1 series near me. Oddly excited to see if I manage to snag them for a deal.

shepj999 Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Just finished turning over my bag by replacing my Nike VRS Covert X irons and wedges with PXG 0311 XP Gen 5's, as well as my old Nickent Omen putter with a PXG Raptor. Can't wait to get them out on the course. An interesting thing is that, club for club, the new PXG's have lower lofts than my Nike's - ex. Nike 6i is 27 deg. vs PXG 6i at 23 deg. I replaced my driver earlier this year with a Cobra LTDx Max, and my woods last year with a Titleist TS2 3w, and Titleist TS1 4h and 5h. The last two clubs have been nothing but money!

Bang60 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Right bought 6 clubs tonight, 1 3 5 Mizuno 2004 Widex ll woods with ladies shafts, plus 4 6 SW Widex ll irons with matching shafts. Will try 4+6 irons and if play ok will leave as is or try the shafts in my 5+6 MP57 irons, you can see the Widex driver is 12deg so probably will use it as strong fairway wood? Body has improved after I attacked it with a massage gun, might try these Widex clubs tomorrow if still feeling alittle better.

Grand Stranded Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 My Yes! Tracy putter has a challenger on the way. I did something today I never would have done without trading two clubs in on a 90 day playability. I traded back my Launcher XL 21* and Rogue ST 23* hybrids (the Launcher is a great club, my TSi2 just gaps better, the Rogue 5H is meh.. my 5i is just as good) and got back $449 in credit. I blew just about the entire wad on a Scotty Cameron Phantom X 5.5 putter with a custom Matador mid size grip (I’m not a fan of the Pistelero). The sucker came to $429, which makes it the most expensive putter I’ve ever bought. This was a move I’ve been wanting to make for a while… every time I roll the 5.5 I love it more. I think I finally found a mallet I like. rkj427, MattF, GolfSpy SAM and 3 others 5 1 Quote Driver: G425 Max 10.5* Fairway: E722 15* Hybrids: Rogue ST Max 18* & 20* Irons: E722 5-AW Wedges: CBX 54-11 RTX Zipcore 58-6 Putter: Phantom X 5.5 33.5” Elixir 2.5 14 way Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
