klucches Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Recently did an iron set purchase. The Callaway TCB set from 4-pw. I noticed the misses are no longer 10 yards but closer to six. The ability to flight the ball is still fairly easy despite how much the ball curves left or right. Definitely knew it was time to move away and upgrade from the from Cobra FlyZ Pros. 6 Quote Driver Rouge LS 9.5 - GD XC 3 Wood Great Big Bertha ◊◊◊– Oban Kiyoshi 18 degree – Fujikura Speeder (4-PW) TCB, TT Dynamic Gold Tour 120 S Wedges (52, 56, 60) TT Dynamic Gold Tour 120 S Putter Atlanta Chrome Soft LS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the cloests I have come. But everytime they post on SM about a new location comng, I throw in a bid for Maryland..ha I was lucky enough to be fit by Ian several years ago in Toronto (it's on their channel if you want a good laugh) and it was the first real truly provessional fitting I had, learned so much spending that 1/2 day with him and Matt. I think the title is Fittings are Just For Buying Clubs or something like that the date was June 2018 I believe) Oh, I've seen your episode, trust me (I LOVE their fitting videos, and when I first found the channel, ran through nearly all of them) @GolfSpy_APHsent it to me, actually. So great. Ian would be a bucket-list type of thing - just watching him work with average golfers is a pretty exceptional thing - I kind of wish they'd do more stuff like that on their channel, instead of all the club-reviews, but...I get it. Clicks are where it's at. Here's hoping I get even half out of my fitting that you got out of yours! 4 Quote Driver - PXG 0811 XF - Gen 5, 9 degrees, EvenFlow Riptide CB 40g 4.0 3/5 Wood - Warrior Golf (don't ask) Utility - King Utility - 2 Iron Irons (4-PW) - - SIM Max, Nippon Modus Tour 105 Stiff Wedges (52, 56, 60) - Kirkland Signature (changed to midsize grips) Putter - L.A.B.

Full bag fitting (sans putter) at True Spec Beverly Hills (fancy shmancy), scheduled for January 6 - 50% off ($187.50) with code "BFCM50", in case you want to get in on the action. They're also doing +15% on any gift cards, so for $165 (or so), you end up with a full bag fitting normally $375. Killer deal. Anyway - it's more for the experience than anything else, as I've never been fully fitted, and it'll be exciting to have that kind of day in a place like this. I'll try my best to document as best as I can - this has been a dream for a while now, to get the whole experience, so hopefully I'm in good form that day. Nice present!! You will enjoy it, I'm sure. I had one a few years ago at True Spec in Bend Oregon. The fitter basically said that he couldn't put me into anything that would improve on what I already had. I respect a fitter that doesn't push you into something you don't really need. I did fall in love with a set of Mizunos; they felt so good and had a little better dispersion, but not enough to make me want to dump my irons and spend $1200. Have fun!!! 3 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that if you ever play any of the courses at Bandon Dunes, a caddie will save you a bunch of strokes. It's expensive, but the experience is worth it and your score will be lower. 6 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still working on hitting consistent straightish shots, but need to look at what's the best ball soon... A few years back I was a big Bridgestone Treo Soft fan. When I switched cars I found a dozen I won a couple of years back in a annual charity event. I threw 6 in the bag the other day along with 2 of the yellow E-6s I had found. Our course has a strong Srixon presence and I have won so many the last 2 years of so I have bunches. I have gotten used to Srixon balls. I played the 2 yellow E-6s Saturday in the shootout. Used those same 2 balls for rounds Tuesday and Wednesday. They are wearing well and I do not notice any more distance or spin compared to my usual Q Star or Q Star Tour. If we play the Shootout Saturday I will more than likely put 2 Treo Softs into play. I mess around on my practice rounds and play whatever premimun scuffed ball I grab from the shag bag. These days it does not really matter to me. If I were going to play serious comp or big money matches again it would be either Vice or Snell balls or maybe the Z-Star 4 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex---- 3 wood TM V-Steel Aldila 65G R Flex 15*--- 7 Wood TM V-Steel UST Pro Force 65 R flex 21*---- 9 wood TM V-Steel stock MAS Stiff shaft 24*--- Irons 4 thru 9 Mac Muirfield TT black label --- PW Vokey SM-4 51* stock shaft--- SW Vokey SM 5 L grind 58* stock shaft--- Putter -- Rusty Scotty Santa Fe fluted Bulls Eye shaft---.
