jlukes 15,189 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 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? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlukes 15,189 Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 I just traded in some old stuff and got a $270 gift card to Galaxy. Thinking about Under Armour shoes or maybe holding off for the new RTX3 Wedges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaidJacket 7,730 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I bought some new spikes for my shoes today? Does that count? Oh, and on side note.... there was a Titleist driver of some type in the golf shop today. Sorry but I didn't take a pic or recall what model it was. It had a brushed metallic looking crown and the sticker price was $999.99!! If anyone is interested I'd bet they'll ship it for free. 3 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozcycle 13,732 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Having just completed my review of the Cobra F6 irons that are in my bag and having aquired the Cobra King LTD Driver, there isn't much left. I got a new putter last Christmas (Bellum Winmore 707). The only thing left is fairways and wedges. Well, i just pre-ordered the Bombtech 4 Hybrid & Wedge set.....so I am good......for now. 3 Quote Driver: PXG 0211 w/Evenflo Riptide CB Regular shaft Fairways: Cobra King F8 3-4W(16*) & 5-6W(20*) w/Mitsubishi ck Blue regular shaft Hybrid: Cobra F8 3 Hybrid(19*) w/Recoil ES regular shaft Irons: Wilson D7 5-PW w/Recoil 460 Regular graphite shafts Wedges: Cleveland RTX Zipcore(50*/54*/58*) w/True Temper Spinner Wedge steel shaft Putter: 33" Evnroll ER2 w/Evnroll Gravity Grip Bag: Vice cart bag(Black).

Thatginger96 148 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I'm eyeing either the 714 Ap2s or the RSI 2s and maybe even the RSI TP if the price is right. It's a matter of price and availability now. Well that and selling off my old clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thatginger96 148 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Nice, those are some solid sets. Have you hit either yet?I have hit the Ap2 and the RSI 2, but I haven't had the chance to hit the RSI TP. I'm leaning towards the ap2 because of the feel and the look, but the RSI is still a good looking and feeling iron with some extra distance, but the price difference between the ap2 and the RSI 2 might lean me towards the RSI 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Srixon 545s are marked down now with the 565s coming out and they perform very similar to the rsi2 with the feel of the ap2s. Callaway apex is another good option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in love with the Apex Cf16s though. I would buy those in a heartbeat if the price is right. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you lived anywhere near Philly or NYC we could meet up and you could hit mine. It's a shame they weren't more available at retail locations and I hope the 2016 line makes it into more stores. Callaway pre-owned might have some good deals on the 2014 apex line. For the 545s they are marked down a good amount on srixon's site but the s300 is the only shaft option available. I actually just used a fitter that had the 545 head and shafts and got fitted and had them reshaft mine 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really a shame that the 2016 irons arent cheaper. They feel amazing and fly like rockets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny B 27,460 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I keep thinking about the Hogan VKTR hybrids that I will be testing soon.

chemclub 1,026 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I keep thinking about taking the plunge on a Wishon 12-point fitting for a set of irons. I have played around with different OEM offerings (and their version of custom fitting) and I guess I can say that I have been drinking the Wishon koolaid regarding what he would consider a "true" custom fit. I'm a sucker for the lore of an ornery genius who sits in his tower designing new clubs. I don't think Tom would object too much to my characterization—makes him seem like some sort of modern day wizard. Anyway, my equipment yearnings often change by the month so we will see. 6 Quote Bag: Bennington Quiet Organizer 9-Lite (link) Cart: 3.5+ Driver: F9 speedback, Accra iWood Woods: Sonartec GS Tour 14*, Fujikura Six S DI: T-MB 2 iron, KBS Tour-V 120 X, Irons: PP-9003SN 4-GW, Nippon 1150GH Stiff Wedges: 1957 K-grind SW, LW, Nippon 1150GH Stiff Putter: EXO Indianapolis (link) Ball: MTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
