... If there is one person golfers rarely if ever listen to it is ... myself.   That said, great driver and good luck with it. 

I hear ya. I’m so weak sometimes.

So a couple of weeks ago I had posted about having the opportunity to hit a coworker’s Titleist TSR3 and I really liked it. I told myself several times that I DO NOT need a new driver but, I was willing to look at getting a different shaft for my Mizuno ST-Z driver. A trip to my fitter allowed me to hit several shafts in the Mizuno and I found a couple that I liked. I went back home to ponder. The TSR3 is more than I want to spend so flash forward to today and I went back in to see about buying a shaft when my fitter pulled out a TSi3 demo with the Tensei Black 1K shaft. He told me to go hit a few before I finalized my decision. I definitely liked the feel of that setup more than just getting the shaft for the Mizuno so……I acquired the TSi3 today. I didn’t NEED a new driver.  

We never really need a new driver but definitely want it.  I’ve got 2 PXG drivers so I can’t judge
Good luck and hit it well!

There are great deals on Wilson Lauchpad 2 new heads for all hybrids and woods for $50 shipped. I just got my 7 wood in the mail and the epoxy is drying. Looks way better in person. Ill update with some pics when its dry.

So I paired it with a graphic designs shaft I had and the offset is attempted to be hidden, but it still is visible and a little tricky to set up. 

It is very easy to hit but really best if you slice as I tended to over draw it. It is surprisingly long for a 7 wood about 5-10 yards longer than the Adams blue and a lil longer than my Maltby Hywood 21 but I dunno if I can get past the offset and closed face at setup. Probably give to my father with a sr shaft or put on ebay. If you struggle with FW woods and tend to slice its a great club. Looks way better in person.

TSi3 is such a great driver, congrats on the purchase! When I am swinging it well it’s effortless distance and a fairway machine. Just wish I did it consistently enough!

That’s a nice club ! My son just bought one of those !

Thought we could have a thread to hear about what equipment is on everyone's mind?  Thinking about pulling the trigger on something? Waiting for a release date?  Drooling over something but just dont have the funds?  

What equipment is on your mind?

 

[aguybadatgolf]

After asking you all for advice on if I should keep playing my 3H or change to a 5W or 7W I went to a couple stores to demo some woods. Turned out that for now the hybrid is staying in my bag, just fits my yardage gap and swing better. 
 

While I was there I saw this beauty and it was too good of a deal to say no to. After hitting a few and comparing to my old ping g25 the Cobra LTDx LS is now in my bag.

My Edison 2.0 55-degree wedge just delivered.

Purchases were made on a soggy Saturday afternoon in Rochester, NY. Not all for me mind you.

I'm assuming the coaster is for someone else.

My coaster, golf ball and 1/4 zip. The hat is for my wife's cousin, my golf godfather, who had a leg amputated last year and the towel is for a golf buddy who had a knee replacement last week.

Well done on the gifts!!  1/4 zip will be a great wear for years.

I think it's awesome you picked something up for them. I wish them nothing but the best as they recover from their injuries. I hate hearing that your wife's cousin had to have a leg amputated.

Thanks, golf is his goal. It's his motivation. His prosthetic is adorned with NY Yankees logos. He wants to start riding with me when I play so he can correct my flaws.

Thinking about picking this up from a coworker. He’s been nice enough to let me hit it for a week before I decide. Titleist U510 2-iron 18° Currently has a true temper dynamic gold s400 shaft in it but for the price he’s asking ($125) if upgrade it to a graphite design tour AD 70g shaft. As long as this fits in my gapping on the top end of my bag o think I’m going to pull the trigger. Current set up is 16.5 3-wood that go 265-270, 4H that is 225-235, and a 4-iron that I hit between 200-210. Id like to get this to go right in the 240-250 range and would be a nice fairway finder off the tee on tight holes. If anyone has opinions on this club I’d love to hear them!

I have a 3h and 4h of these and love them…very easy to hit and accurate.  Upgraded the 3h with a graphite design shaft and gained a few extra yards with it.  If the gapping works for you, highly recommend the club!

I have the same club with a Hazurdus Smoke Black and it is a great club.  I also bought it lightly used.  It’s better than the newer U 505 in my opinion.  GD AD should be great add.

Thanks for the insight. I didn’t think I’d like the bulkier profile of the 510 over the 505 but it’s not bad and I probably will need the forgiveness anyway haha

Tomorrow is the day! Excited for my new Edison 2.0 wedges, pics will be up shortly after delivery tomorrow!
