In Perry, FL this past weekend celebrating my great granddaughter’s first birthday and SWMBO wanted to go to their Walmart. In the clearance aisle they had 2 dozen Titleist Trufeel yellow balls. They weren’t real clearance but they were $3 off the msrp. Now they are mine.

 

Those are what my wife has been playing for the past couple of years.  I doubt our 3 Walmarts have any; our only golf store doesn’t stock them in Yellow.

Just purchased two things, 

Callaway Golf 2022 Chrome Soft X LS Golf Balls, Shamrock 

SuperStroke Traxion Pistol GT™ 2.0 Golf Putter Grip,...

Both will be here in the morning early, grip will be on with the first 10 minutes of arrival ready for play tomorrow, the Callaway balls are something new for myself but good reviews about them and they have Shamrocks on them, Irish people cannot resist a good Shamrock. 

I’ll have a quick review after I’ve tested both tomorrow.

A 2 iron.   

I've had good success with my sub70 699u 5i (24°) so I decided to get a longer, stronger lofted iteration with a graphite shaft similar in weight to my hybrid and FWs.

This may be a vanity project, but I traded a bunch of mix-matched irons and wedges I wasn't using to get a brand new thing I can mess with.

9W - Tour Edge HL E523

I've lost confidence in my 5H and kinda have a distance gap in my bag .. right where some Par 3s and approaches are .. so been wanting to try one of these and then a -10% discount plus 30 day playability guarantee plus free shipping all made it an easy decision!

That plus all of a sudden I'm getting along well with my TEE 7W so maybe, just maybe, this may work better for me vs hybrids..?

 

EDIT:
Ordered this morning .. just got an email it shipped this afternoon!!

Nothing exciting, but I did pick up a new glove this evening. I was never a glove guy until last year when I played a round where my hands sweated so bad I felt like I was going to lose a club. 

I bought a FootJoy WeatherSof glove to replace the one I had previous. My last one has been through several rounds and practice sessions but after playing in the pouring rain, I thought it was time to get a new one.

Well…. Spoiled myself for my birthday last week. Just came in today….

Test update as promised from earlier. 
Callaway Golf 2022 Chrome Soft X LS Golf Balls, Shamrock design. 

SuperStroke Traxion Pistol GT™ 2.0 Golf Putter Grip
 

I was playing today with usual group with the new balls and OMFG, ( you can figure out the F in OMFG means).

The whole group where like wtf, we know you hit a good long draw but your like 50/60 yards ahead of us. 
Approach to the greens 10/10.

Drives 15/10 yes they flew like rockets.

Putting, worked like a charm with the new balls, honestly if you get a chance, try them, maybe it was all me and I had one of those days but even I was like holy mother of god. 

The new grip, well honestly it felt like I had it on for years, made my hands quieter which resulted in smother rolling putts, have to give it 10/10 also.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Callaway Epic max 9W.  Not sure why I don’t hit it as consistently as the Heavenwood; could be I need a heavier shaft.  It’s the same Cypher shaft as in my driver, 3W, and Heavenwood.  I hit all of the other woods more consistently than the 9W.  Sometimes it’s great and other times, I could hit my 9i better.  I might either reshaft it or get a hybrid.

Nice setup! I used that shaft for a while when I had a Mizuno ST-Z driver and really liked it. Hope it’s a fairway finder for you.

My son needs a more forgiving driver and hes balking at me buying him more stuff. I have been looking for a bargain used 425 max but bargain and 425 dont seem to mix lol. how forging is the 410 and if you have experience with the 425 or 430 what are the plusses and cons of the 410, any info is appreciated.

I’ve never hit the G410 or G425. The G400 though is pretty forgiving. But it could depend on what his miss tends to be. If he slices than maybe the G400 SFT would be a good option.

Project X Evenflow Riptide CB 6.0 60g,

Cobra adapter, Tour Velvet Plus4 mid grip.

Should be here in a couple weeks.

Reshaft might be the option.  I’m looking for a 9w but not much around in LH Senior Shaft.

Hit the G410 on a simulator and didn’t see too many gains from the G, wasn’t enough for me to justify making the switch.  All Ping drivers are solid choices.  I started to get wild with the G (hit a big slice occasionally) and ended up moving to a Sim 2 Max with better results for my swing currently.  Had Ping drivers for years before that with good results though…don’t think you could go wrong with a Ping.

A groove cleaner and groove it brush. Trying to make my clubs last longer as prices rise.

I did not exactly buy it, but I did receive a pair of Sqairz golf shoes for Fathers day.

I'll see what they have at our local golf store.  The owner and pro is LH.  It seems like he has more than the normal amount of LH clubs for a golf store.
